Celtic’s season is perched at a tantalising angle, but if you know your history, you’ll know that such pent-up potential often flounders in scrappy cup encounters. Set to face Kilmarnock in the League Cup final, they are favourites in the league and have not allowed a Scottish club to lay a glove on them in almost three months. No one is tipping against them in any competition, but despite being in exactly this situation many times in the last 40 years, only once have they been able to see out a straightforward looking campaign and collect the three trophies available.
All it takes is a bumpy away ground in the middle of winter to level the playing field (metaphorically, if only it would literally) and deliver the inevitable cup exit. Our chances of winning tomorrow are no better than 50/50. Inverness know the script, they are a decent team who, despite two cup exits to Celtic last season, had enough in their locker to deny us five points in the league.
Celtic have a potential of five cup games remaining this season across both competitions, but after Inverness, only one of those can be away from home. With league form seemingly set by metronome, you’re looking at one of the most dangerous games of the season tomorrow.

just had a quick read back. thinking about the rangers thing, i am sure CW said that using ticketup was normal practice and the club already owed £7 million, then borrowed a further £24 1/2 million, add to the £18 million he said his company paid to clear the loyds bank debt which leaves a total debt of £49 1/2 million.
so £49 1/2 million
+
tax case is another £49 million
+
4 million short fall on turn over this season
= £102,500,000
now if you want to get your hand if rangers win tax case your gonna need at least 50 million to clear debt and 20 million working capital and work within a 35 million budget to keep money
on the other hand, it they lose the tax case, your talking about 122 million needed to buy a business that turns over 35 million
it will need to be a real billionaire willion to give up at least 5/ 10% of their wealth
SERIOUSLY

looking forward to a cracking good old fashioned Cup game tomorrow of the boot and bollic variety. This will be tough, no question and not for the faint hearted. Let’s hope we don’t pick up any injuries as our main focus is the Championship. Come on the HOOPS.
Someone posted earlier about the term ‘defalcation’. In educational circles defalcation meant ‘ having one’s sticky fingers in the till’ or in other words stealing money from , for example, the School Fund.
keevins getting a bloody nose with his ‘we need rangers’ campaign
Roughie is hammering the Sandaza story!
Great caller on Snyde there, told it exactly the way it is, and Delahunt cuts him off, why oh why do we bother with this shower.
Great to hear your better Gold Coast Tom .

Sore one token, the only reason i put it up was down to a hangover! Get the racing post delivered on a sat but by the time i got up to watch the hoops all the quality racing was abandoned, Didn’t even bother opening the paper and put that up because of my niece!
Tells me where i’m going wrong most weeks!
