Adam Matthews has been on top form this season, his pace and partnership with Mikael Lustig have been unfailing for Celtic, so Neil Lennon will clearly feel robbed at a top players injury-enforced absence for three months.
It could be worse.
An injury to Forster, Ambrose, van Dijk or Izaguirre would be difficult to accommodate but we are not short of right side-midfield options. James Forrest is now back from injury and although Derk Boerrigter joined as a left-sided player, he has already featured on the right for Celtic. If Boerrigter plays on the left Samaras, Commons and Stokes can all feature on the right.
One man’s cloud is another’s silver lining, just ask Beram Kayal, who kept Victor Wanyama on the bench until he was injured in December 2011. Victor got the run in the team he needed and never looked back.
Signing van Dijk was a response to an unexpected transfer request/not in the right frame of mind to pull a jersey on statement from Kelvin Wilson, but the major planned summer activity was to inject pace into the team for Champions League games, specifically through Boerrigter and Pukki. For various reasons we’re not there yet, maybe Ajax at home later this month will change that.
Blown away by the 1254125 donations, which have flooded in since Friday. Each donor, from those who donated £5 to the several who gave £125 (like it!) are a credit to the spirit of those whose footsteps you walk in. Promise to stop pestering with a link to the page. Soon.
Thank you.

I was thinking of John Lennon`s plea.
As in ” Help “.

Celtic is in your heart and in your soul buddy. Thanks for the message from George’s wife Linda. And a big H!H! to yourself for your efforts and those of CQN’s ‘first couple’ ;-) Minx and HT as well as Sanna and the KTF.
Still can’t quiet believe the big man is gone. Heaven must have needed some help with its social justice policies.

The ” nia roo” is the pub on the road from nitshill train station to darnley… I lived in darnley for a year .. 1981 .
Used to get the bus to penilee … it went up the hill into what I thought was south nitshill .
Happy birthday my oldest mini Mucker.
14 today, and still a daddy’s girl.
Mucker
Sorry, and good morning to everyone else :-)

Sorry, not pub time for me then! I lived in Busby and used to visit my Uncle in South Nitshill frequently
You are almost certainly correct as the memory is a bit hazy after 44 years. HH
Abmucker 07:55:
Hoopy Birthday mini Mucker, same age as my Bhoy, though he will be 15 in December.
Whistle’s gone, time for me to start work.
Until we meet again…

“you can’t sit on the board of directors and tell people ‘We can’t afford to do this.’ Walter Smith

Quite, what was his job again…
Liked this one also…
“I knew they would make a loss but I wasn’t quite sure just exactly what it would be so that was quite a surprise when it came out to be such a large figure,” said Smith……
The accounts were till June, he stepped down In August.
BTW Who are they? The cats mother…
Hail Hail
Morning all. Dark, very wet, wild, windy and freezing down here.
Are things coming to a head once again down Govan way. Their ole erstwhile saviour, the Gardigan, has raised his head again. Shurely not good news? Indeed, apart from spin from Jack Irvine’s cohorts, can there be good news emanating from that cess pit?
Big Nan

That prophet Muhammad fella seemed to be a thoroughly decent chap.
I now understand why Islam is sometimes known as the religion of peace.
Have a nice day.
Morning all from a dreich,overcast gay Paris.

Ah, I feel better now.
Friesdorfer –
I broke my collarbone (clavicle) in 1983 after I crashed my motorbike in North London. You’re right. It was very painful indeed.
Interestingly, I recently had a bone scan. Afterwards, the doctor asked me if I had ever damaged my shoulder. I told him about breaking my collarbone 30 years ago. Apparently it showed up as a white shadow on the scan which denoted bone tissue that was younger than the surrounding bones.
You can’t hide anything these days eh?
:-)
Nia roo = Oor ain.
Cheers Lennybhoy
Have a good one.

Good Morning All,
I have a meeting today with our own Blantyre Kev which got me to thinking that I cannot see him on Winning Captain’s list.
Come to think of it, unless I am mistaken I do not see Taggsybhoy there either, nor Johnnybhoy ( legendary carpet man, golf results announcer and relation of the great Patsy Gallagher ).
And……. is Paddybhoy88 on there …… purveyor of T shirts, Golf player extraordinaire and relative of the utterly unfantasic and well known dimwit Brogan Rogan something or other???
Mainly a lurker these days
Winning Captains – can I get a wee mention ?
Byeeeeee.

Lots of old friends from here not showing this year. Haste ye back.
Please add me to the list and Hail Hail to one and all.
Wow, that cardie interview has gotta be a spoof no? There are a couple of paragraphs that perfectly encapsulate the mindset of the zombies.
And hey, Deadbeats! You need spreadsheets not bedsheets!
Whither the cash strapped scrofulous hillbillies the day?
New speedway world champ on the ole TV the day. He looks about 12.
He broke his collar bone, got it fixed, went racing again, broke it again and got back on the bike to win the title.
Speedway is clearly, like N/H racing, one of the few sports left for real men.
Walter Smith offers the new club financial advice lets hope they follow follow
And if these players are signed while the club continues to lose money?
Smith added: “There is no common business sense at a club such as Rangers.
“Yes, money is being lost. But what can you do?
“You can’t sit on the board of directors at Ibrox and tell the Rangers fans, ‘We can’t afford to do this.’ You have to go out and find the money to do it.
“If you get into the Champions League you make a profit. Celtic have shown that. So Rangers have to use their money to create a situation where they put a challenge in to Celtic.
“That’s the gamble you take. It’s not a sensible gamble but that’s what you have to do.
“The financial bit of Rangers Football Club and common sense don’t go together.
This is the man who the SMSM revere ? financial lunacy hope he returns soon as Chairman
Sad to hear of the passing of the big man may he RIP
The young man is called Tai Woffinden.
He’s 23 years old.
Why is winning captains making a list of posters.?
“The big Chair must stay open for Walturd !!!”
BRTH – how could you forget about me, having waxed so lyrically about my forum name when I first appeared her?

RANGERS fans may think they have been taken to the limits of their endurance since the club went into administration on February 14, 2012.
But Walter Smith has bad news for them.
The only man in Rangers’ history to manage the club and then become chairman believes the suffering of the past 20 months isn’t the end of the fans’ discomfort.
