The news yesterday from Glasgow City Council that Celtic’s planning application for the areas outside the stadium had been approved will do more than deliver shrubbery to a currently derelict landscape; your match day experience is about to be transformed.
Unless your ticket is for the executive lounges, your match day will involve turning up to a cold stadium (not a lot Celtic or the Council can do about the weather) and wait for the game to start, with rudimentary access to toilets (get in early if you want a hand towel), burgers and pies.
Celtic have been buying up land around their perimeter for years and with permission to remove the derelict London Road School, they are now in a position to provide restaurants, bars, pre and post-match entertainment. They will also be able to bring the many thousands of artefacts which tell the story of Celtic into a dedicated museum space.
Celtic Park will become a working, 7-day-a-week, tourist destination. It’s going to be phenomenal.
Plans have been before the Council for years but although they ticked all the boxes and made enormous economic sense for an area of the city badly in need of a boost, I hear one SNP councillor spoke against plans to move the superstore from its current location to a larger area, as he felt the need to protect the interests of local Asda and Tesco superstores!
Not everyone was happy to see the club, or the area, progress.
The new edition of CQN Magazine is out and packed with great articles for and by the Celtic support. You can flick through the magazine in the graphic below but it you want to actually read it, click on the double-headed arrow at the bottom right of the graphic.

Auldheid,
In my earlier football supporting life I remember watching and playing against guys like Tony Green and Jimmy Smith or watching a young Gordon Strachan or going back Wullie Hamilton at Hearts all of whom would have graced the creative Celtic jersey.
Russell and GMS come into that category for me.

I played in the same school team as Jimmy Smith at St Gregory’s Secondary in Carntyne.
Played with Tony Green too.
he was a player just made to play for Celtic but sadly didn’t

Another good early toe-poke goal. Unfortunately it was for Chelsea.

Bobby Murdoch to The Dawk to the Rocket? This blog in a nutshell!
The great midfielders are a joy – the art and science of the game. The player of the modern era that Bobby reminded me of was Zidane. A big , heavy man with a beautiful touch, a wonderful dribbler and scored great goals on the big occasion . Bobby was a better passer and Zinedine was better with the head!

Statues of Legends on either side of Kerrydale Street!
What i always wanted, Happy Days!
No matter what Swalex had done, Big Jock was the trail blazer , the mhan who made it all possible for guys like Sir Matt, Swalex, Clough et al to win the European Cup . Big Jock had to make the breakthrough to make the impossible , possible for these guys.
Although I disliked Swalex for his cynical Aberdeen team, I suppose I’ve mellowed since my youth and have to say his achievements are superb, his response when asked to go to the Bigotdome as manager was admirable and his socialist principles have not left him.
However, cannae get it outta ma Heid that he stuck the nut on Bobby Murdoch . My da told me.
Big Jock no1 of all time!

Gene’s a Bhoy’s name
The 4 Horsemen would do nicely!
Gene-I have a phobia about Coyle getting the Celtic job.If he doesn’t get the Wolves or Millwall job (his level) in next couple of weeks i fear the worst.The “lifelong Celtic fan” knocked us back to stay at the mighty Burnley and he moved on to ” my spiritual home”Bolton.The Bolton “legned” scored 12 goals in 54 games.IMO Never to be asked again, but he is free and hanging about like a bad smell.
BT – will do, Nige.
Doc – cheers for that.

I hope they didn’t do that with other more delicate parts of your anatomy when bruised. A quick count would usually suffice.
Back then being hit with a bladder on the forehead (laces up) left you looking as if you had had a full frontal lobotomy (thanks to the imprint).
Blocking a ‘mould-master’ free-kick with your thigh usually left you with a dead-leg for 3 days or semi-concussion if you used your head to block the shot.
Either ball striking you in the ‘crown jewels’ guaranteed you a starting spot in the Church choir singing ‘soprano’ on a Sunday morning. :-)

Hi Timland
all this talk ok SAF. turned the tv on sky139 and sh@t my self thought he was on come dine with me..spooky.
Fergie didnt miss the huns in his autobiography. He said the place was steeped in bigotry and had a right go at the oldco club secretary, who made life hard for him due to his Catholic wife.
The Man U legend also said he had no time for free masonry, and if I remember right, he stopped the brotherhood giving his father a masonic funeral.
Jobo.
Just keep your eyes peeled for a SDM lookalikey

My mate got me a ticket for the kerrydale. Through his business.
I feel a bit guilty as in reading how season book holders are struggling for ticket
As I’ve said before I will be getting myself, my bhoy and probably my daughter season books, this season after having a financial sabbatical.
Livibhoy… no were you were coming from earlier.
If there’s games me and the kids can’t make,you will be more than welcome to use them.HH

Cheers- T-shirt ironed, only worn special occasions!
The stuff I write is , Celtic and Laphroaig aside, pure pleasure for me. Getting paid would spoil it for me( and I am scared I’d turn into Hugh Keevins :))
