Despite a remarkably solid defensive record, we have lost four and three goals on our two visits to Ibrox this season, although two of yesterday’s goals were lost with a two man deficit. We were deservedly a goal down before Cha Du-Ri was ordered off and the contest irrevocably skewed. Several Celtic players looked panicked from the opening minutes and it wasn’t until Kris Commons started to menace the Rangers midfield that we appeared comfortable in possession.
Until then, we looked pretty ordinary.
After a remarkably consistent run of games that ensured this season’s league title is Celtic’s, two big games, which could each have delivered a trophy, have been lost.
The drive to the line which is needed for teams to fulfil their potential is not there yet. It will come. Days like yesterday, months like October, are what team building is all about.
If you need a pick-me-up, enjoy The Celtic Family video above, its’ sure to hit the spot.

Re POTY
Brown for me. His return has propelled our league run.
Mulgrew has been consistent and utilitarian.
Time to remind the authorities we remain vigilant in support of our manager, our fans and our adherence to principals.

MWD…. I’m sure Tom English said on shortbread on Saturday that Eric Riley would vote Zombie RFC back in.
Just watched on YouTube Willie Waddel, with a hint of pride in his voice, boasting about how important Rangers are to the peepil.
“When the Rangers lose, the fans go home and give their wife a bashing about”
Stats say thems committed 19 fouls. Us 14. Enuff said. And its goodnight from me and its goodnight from…………..
God bless Glasgow Celtic!!!!
MWD,
are you expecting a wee announcement?
mick1888
Tom English makes most of his crap up.
Eric Riley will vote as DD tells him to as will PL or any other Celtic official representing the club.
Only DD’s opinion will count on this topic.

Yes. My info is that it is close allied with press mutterings of early April and D&P alluding to it coming in next 2 weeks last Thurs. They & HMRC get 5 days notice prior to publication.
RTC I’m sure will have sources in the know as and when.

Do you ever sleep?!?!?! I check CQN last thing at night and first thing in the morning and you are always there!!!!!
I am still sick about yesterday and havent watched the goals / incidents yet, and probably wont (I still havent watched reruns of the UEFA cup final) but, in the cold light of day, i know that it was only a one-off game, they are nearly deid and we arent!
Neil Lennon – the man who says what the supporters think. They dont like it up them
MWD,
dont suppose the RTC has given any indication of how it will go,
or is it just hope that most of us have that it goes against the huns
ras cap
Can you C & P that vid onto CQN’s?
Who believes a word Tom English says or writes? WIll Eric Riley vote for Huns Version 2? I dont think so, but i dont know. The thing is, English doesnt know either
SHAMELESS Craig Whyte will demand a say in who buys Rangers.

The Ibrox owner warned the crisis club’s administrators Duff and Phelps of his intentions in crunch talks.
And his uncompromising stance could see the Blue Knights’ hopes of gaining control DOOMED.
Their consortium frontman Paul Murray has been out-spoken in his criticism of Whyte but sources involved in the discussions have told SunSport the discredited Gers chairman is not ready to wash his hands of the mess he’s in.
And that could prove a major stumbling block in Murray’s dream of taking over.
Administrator Paul Clark insisted a fortnight ago that Whyte had now become “absolutely irrelevant.”
But Whyte met with Clark in London last week and underlined his determination to be involved in the process.
It’s understood Whyte feels strongly that his position as majority shareholder has NOT been weakened despite a blizzard of negative publicity. He even talked about retaining control of the club if and when it exits administration.
At the very least Whyte expects to have a major say in who takes control of his 85.3 per cent shareholding.
At the moment there are five bids on the table with ex-director Murray the fans’ favourite.
Sale Sharks owner Brian Kennedy is also in the running along with Club 9 Sports and consortiums from Singapore and the UK.
Administrator Clark plans to name a shortlist of two preferred bidders by the end of the week.
They’d then have another fortnight to put together and table their detailed proposal.
Murray had initially joined forces with Ticketus but he is now weighing up whether to scrap those plans if it helps his bid.
But if Whyte is allowed to be involved in the bidding process then his hopes may hit the wall. Our source said: “Whyte has made it clear he still believes he’s got a major say in things.
“He feels strongly that anybody who wants to do a deal will need to talk to him first.
“The administrators think differently but Whyte insists he’s still the majority shareholder.”
My Player of the Year would be Anthony Stokes. When it has mattered most this season he has delivered.
Although Fraser Forster is a great shout. Many of the 20 matches won in a row were single goal victories with bFF making many vital stops.
James Forrest runs away with Young Player of the Year.

Ok I’ll put your first choice as Joe. Who’s your second pick?

First choice ….Charlie mulgrew .

Dear God. Sammi by a mile; pilloried by the shameful among his OWN, used as a scapegoat, mocked by the laptop loyal, and yet he still came back for more time and time again.
Looks like Jesus, fights like Jake La Motta. A player maybe finally being recognised by the slow-witted as a class above. Build a team around him, protect him from the cloggers and le thim roam.
Runners up:
Joe Ledley; the quiet man does an under-rated shift.
Charlie Mulgrew; great left foot, good football brain, another fighter once written off by the support.
Fraser Forster; maybe now coming to like playing for us, suddenly got his act together and looked 50% sharper than ever during the unbeaten run.
James Forrest; doing his utmost to prove he’s not just a one-trick pony and on the verge of consistently damaging to all levels of opposition. Keep going, wee man.
Nice to see the Hunposters resurface in the wake of yesterday. You Hun lurkers need to take note of your teams improving performance; soon you might be able to compete against 11 men and maybe use a neutral referee…

Setting Free the bears seen as your into detective work Kojo/kojaks comments mentioning the swinging detective and then lo and behold the swinging detective turns up, just proves what I though and that is swinging detective IS kojo.
Still find it funny you in any way think I am an alias of the loony dangerously right wing kojo.
Anyway I wasn’t at Ibrox so I genuinely thought the rankers supporters were sticking to non sectarian songs but if True about them Singing about Jock and singing the Billy Boys then that is disgraceful. I thought they were singing the famine song though but with alternative inoffensive words?
Ack nothing they do should surprise me but I always hope that folk can be redeemed and try tae see the good in folk.
Wondered about this character and looks like he’s been around for years?
John Fleming Takes Hugh Dallas Referees’ Role at SFA
John Fleming has been promoted by the Scottish Football Association to the head of referee development post previously filled by Hugh Dallas.
Fleming, who had been referee development officer under Dallas, has been carrying out the role since his boss was sacked in November.
Dallas left after being accused of sending a tasteless email at work.
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said of Fleming: “His impact since taking the role has been substantial.”
Dallas was sacked following an internal investigation into a satirical email sent from his SFA account when the Pope visited Scotland on 16 September.
The Catholic Church had called for his departure should he be found guilty of sending what it viewed as a tasteless message.
Dallas had already been under pressure from Celtic, who had been angered by referee Dougie McDonald’s decision to overturn his own award of a penalty against Dundee United on 17 October.
Assistant Steven Craven resigned as a result of the furore, accusing Dallas of bullying and saying that he also had not seen eye to eye with Fleming.
Following an SFA investigation into the decision at Tannadice and a strike by Scotland’s category one officials, Regan announced there would be an overhaul of the referee development system at the SFA.
And, despite calls from some quarters for a foreigner to be appointed, the chief executive believes that Fleming is the right man to lead those changes.
“John brings a wealth of experience in refereeing and in the development and education sides of the game,” said Regan in an SFA statement.
“He also has a wide of experience of working in business.
“His role will be pivotal to the new Scottish FA strategic plan.
“I have received a number of positive comments from the refereeing fraternity and also from his colleagues within the Scottish FA and I am convinced he will be an asset to the organisation.”
Fleming was appointed to category one status in 1994 and performed as a Fifa assistant referee from 1994 to 1997, gaining what the SFA describes as “a vast array of experience in the European arena”.
He has been actively involved in refereeing for nearly 30 years and has played a major part in promoting the role of football referees, instructors and observers throughout Scotland in his previous post of referee development officer.
Fleming added: “I am immensely proud and grateful to have been given this opportunity.
“There are a number of exciting initiatives on the horizon both for the Scottish FA and the referee development department and it is my intention to help facilitate positive changes to benefit the referee fraternity and the game in general.
Looks like regan has joined some kind of fraternity
Canamalar
If the entire organization is part of a fraternity, what chance any new employee is not also one of the gang?
And the press.
And the police.
And the politicians.
If we are good they will leave us alone.
Sort of.
I used to be of the opinion that ‘Antifa’ was the invention of BMCUWP…so that he would always have someone to chat to during those long boring nightshifts, when Maggie wasn’t flirting.
After all,he used to lend ‘Antifa’ tomes on Marx,Lenin,and other unwashed lefties
However,kind-hearted Bobby had an additional purpose for his creation…to bore Wee Rascar Capac (39.99yr),so that he would desist from posting into the wee sma’ hours,and catch up on his much needed beauty sleep.
“Amen to that!”,sighs Wee Bridie…
However,on reflection,I consider ‘Antifa’ much too dull to be blamed on Ol’ Hang-Em Flog-Em BMCUWP..
Pinkety ?

hen1rik Duff and co can say what they like about whyte
But!! he owns Rangers, simple as that, if anybody wants to buy ranger they have to pay him off, Whyte is well aware of that, that is why he bought them in the 1st place, he is a crook, but very good at doing crooked things legally
i think he is magic :)

So now Neil is charged for misconduct by the beloved custodians of Scottish football yet again.
Kegs doon bend over! next?
Despite what Paul67 says in the main missive and all the no show believers herein that if Celtic had 11 players on the park for all 94 minutes they would have won. Its a bit disingenuous to criticize Neils tactics and team performance when they played with 11 men for a third of the game 10 for the next third and 9 for morethan the remaining third and additionally Lenny unavailable for the 2nd half. Pure cheating.
