No one on Celtic Quick News ever doubted Gordon Strachan, did they?
It’s been a long 8 years since that dark week but our former manager demonstrated enormous resilience to win three consecutive league titles and twice qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. He is perfect for the Scotland role, although, to be frank, I didn’t think his squad had last night’s result in them. Well done to all.

Interesting Youtube compilation on Amido Balde, wonder if these tasters are compiled by player agents?
Not convinced that he’s particularly good, any player, strikers especially can be made to look superb, if you put all their goals together.

First Old Firm Derby Win for Rangers..
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Celtic 1-3 Rangers
Rangers defeated local rivals Celtic for the first time with a 3-1 scoreline at Lennoxtown.
Karen Penglase gave the Gers a 20th-minute lead, following up after a Jill Paterson effort was parried by Gemma Fay.
Maddie Fulton lobbed the Hoops level on the hour but Rangers were back in front when Hollie Thomson’s through ball found Kathryn Hill who hit the top corner.
Natalie Ross then sealed the historic victory for the visitors, with a strong run and finish.

Zbyszek –
Just saw your earlier comment.
I am in good spirits. Thanks for asking.
It’s all about waiting just now. Physically I feel absolutely fine, which might sound strange, but once I have the test results and know the extent of the illness, I and the doctors can make the big decisions as to the way ahead.
My good lady is keeping me from feeling sorry for myself. Not sure I could have handled it without her. An absolute Godsend.
I’ll keep you posted and once again, thanks for your kind thoughts.
Hail Hail

Isn’t it Ironic..Dont’cha think..

Mr Weir’s additional relationship with Ally McCoist at Rangers and, those Everton connections, will provide a platform for loans.
Weir only needs to get the momentum going at Sheffield United and some of the loyalist fans in football will do the rest.

Balde-probably like everyone else im not overly excited but have to trusy john park and support the player from the off if he signs.
Wes houlihan ? 31yrs old might fancy winning something and playing in europe. Great wee player.
Came up through divisions with norwich so im sure he can hack the rough and tumble. Doubt he be on big wages.
Difficult to judge a player by watching a 13 minute youtube compilation of his ‘best bits(!), ‘tho I’m sure that John Park and the scouting team will have seen Amido Balde ‘in the flesh’ a few times.
If he does sign I hope he turns out like big Pierre, and NOT PA Fortune!
We can but hope!
HH!!

One thing about Neil’s strikers-he is very quick to make his mind up whether or not he rates them.
Just ask Bangura,Fortune,Murphy,and one or two others.
Of course,by that time the signing-on and transfer fees have long gone….
Good morning CQN
Wow the James Forrest for TSFM has put everything into perspective, really well reasoned piece, should be what a real journalist put out,but obviously are not being allowed to? its long but well worth the effort!

Howdy.
Quite agree – we have landed a few ‘dud’ strikers(sic) over the last few years. Could have been even worse ‘tho if we had signed Jon Daly and Kevin Doyle, to name just two! Apologies to the Irish CQNers!
Thankfully Hooper, Stokes and Watt have chipped in with a few goals.
Btw, many congratulations on your recent podium success!
Email you later.

Here is the deal. CF material was taken without owners permission. The owners, despicable as they might be, have the same privacy rights as anyone, like the folk whose privacy was violted by Murdoch’s folk.
The consequences of that are a media who are now super careful with regard to sources and the CF stuff to them is toxic and cannot be used on msm. That is as told to me by a journalist whom I respect and trust.
It is that old word agaim “trust: .
It presents itself as an everyday challenge and I’m presenting it now to you and other readers.
In doing so I’m taking the risk that a) you will trust me and
b) that what I was told was true and my reputation as a trustworthy person will not have been damaged by passing on a lie.
It is certainly more difficult to trust simply from words on a screen but there are other factors that can help -the other persons record of being truthful is a start in the absence of personal contact but I’m prepared to take the risk.
Like it ir lump it the material is kryptonite to our msm supermen (<=== irony) or Supermen.
The way to get this material out there is under Qualified Privilege that is the equivalent of a lead box that MPs have access to.
We need to start writing to them on a Scottish and UK basis and I suggest we use the "tax avoidance by extension using insolvency laws" line to highlight the collusion between the administrators and the owner to suggest a public enquiry into the whole affair including the enabling part played by the national football association.
Any views or better suggested drafts on what could be said are welcome. From that we can form an example of the points folk can make. So I suggest that we park the journos and help them out by a campaign of MP contact.
Who knows even the fact that a campaign is taking place might be reportable without reference to CF material. Whatever Qualified Privilege is the way to go and if someone can find an online definition and paste it for me we can start helping journos and CF ny getting this stuff mainstream.
Surely George Galloway would relish the opportunity to get the CF material out in the open under Parliamentary Privilege?
Anyone got a link or access to him?

leftclicktic. Thanks bud. Am just catching up with things at the moment, but if kosher the CF ” tapes ” are potential weapons grade endgame material.
Hasta La Victoria Siempre!
There is no appetite to end The Rangers from the people with the power to do it.
The whole thing is demoralising.

Can an elvis impersonator ever really be said to be innocent?
The Stokes story is already in the Evening Times.
Was he singing Teddy Bear at the time

@STVGrant What’s the difference in the reporting of the Sandaza tapes and the @CharlotteFakes Tapes & emails?
Grant Russell @STVGrant 24m
@RhebelRhebel Good question. In terms of our reporting on Sandaza, we didn’t until Rangers investigation & very careful of wording.

The logical question LNS could and should have asked Bryson was “have the SFA a ‘failure to declare’ clause in their rules about information supplied regarding registrations, licences,etc?”
The SFA, like many organisations don’t have the resources to investigate registration/licencing applications thoroughly and the sensible option would be to insert such a clause.
Are the SFA incompetent, corrupt or both, now there’s a line of questioning LNS could have pursued about the very people who instigated the inquiry,but then again……
