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.
Here we go………

Press today has Martines and Neil Lennon as favourites for the Everton job …
Stan Petrov has just announced his retirement.
Sorry to hear that but his health is much more important. Good luck Stan.
Hope we mark it with applause at 19th minute.

I remember it as if it was 44 years ago.
What a day that was.For once the sun compensated for the lack of a roof to project our songs.
When Bertie was in Sydney a few years back,I had a quick chat with him about the game.Magic fellow.

GOOD HEALTH TO Stan Petrov…what an engine the man had….
Napoli have clinched second place in Serie A .
Post match —- Napoli’s owner confirmed that 3 clubs have agreed to pay Napoli 63 million euros [ upfront /no staged payments ] for the wonderful Cavani and that Cavani can choose which one he wants.
Reporter reminded Napoli’s owner that Cavani has said that he wants to play for Real Madrid and got this in response —— ” We’ll see ———“.
Warm and sunny —-way down south . Work to do and then beach time. . Take a rake — get some surf clams for tonight’s dinner.—great with spaghetti aglio/ olio// prezzemolo e peperoncino

Moyes is Man Utd
Bad news that Stan Petrov is bringing his career to an end.
The good news is that he is still alive to make the decision.
Pablo 1888 @1888Pablo 11h
@alextomo is your story about rangers or Sevco Alex. How’s it coming along by the way?
alex thomson @alextomo 10h
@1888Pablo fine thanks. Flying to Glasgow from Belfast tomorrow.
All the very best Stan, you are a top Bhoy..
Sure the GB will fly a petrov banner and applaud on 19th minute
Heard stan might be at the cup final …
Morning bhoys from a warm sunkist hun free mountain valley.
Belfast Eh, I wonder if it’s anything to do with the huns ?
Leggo the past couple of days has been very downbeat, I reckon he knows something is going down.
HH
I read somewhere that Stan Petrov was going to be at the Scottish Cup Final.
If he makes it, I hope he has a day that’ll live long in his memory.
Sad peepil them huns…….
can’t accept what Mr Stein achieved and how it cannot be bettered by latter-day disciples of his methods. Sir Alex has already underlined his debt to Jock and eulogised his achievements.
Why can’t they?
HHH.
bankiebhoy1
that’s why we need them back…..
O.G.Rafferty – say that tweet earlier and the thing that stood out for me was that he was arriving from Belfast. It might be jumping to conclusions but I’m not aware of any previous or current story of his which has involved Northern Ireland. That doesn’t mean he is not covering one that we don’t know about but it does make you wonder about whether it’s a link to his huns story. Time will tell.
BT
Thankfully,” they” can’t come back. They are gone.
bankbiebhoy1
that’s my hope….

Chuck spent some time over in Belfast drumming up support, seen with loyalists.
As you say time will tell.
Very surprised the media in scotland never said anything about his visit there, especially the picture where he was in company of murderers.
Maybe they were too busy !!!
BT
…the ‘currant’ Bootleg Bears can hang around the scottish stage all they like as a mawkish reminder to the die-hard, hard-of-thinking-hun………….but it doesn’t change the facts of their demise.
Deep, deep down – they know it.
All of thum!
TET – yeah I know mate, it makes you wonder if that’s why Thommo was there.
He had no reason whatsoever to mention where he was travelling from unless it relates to the story. I’m just an internet bampot making crap up and filling in the blanks with supposition and nonsense. Still, that puts me into a higher category than the SMSM!
So is Alex Thomson’s new ground that’s being broken suggesting some kind of investment in Sevco by nefarious characters from the Northern Ireland underground? That would be a twist in the tale.

There has been talk of loyalist cash. money laundering at the bigot dome for some time now.
Interesting all the same.
Alex Thomson is in Derry on an entirely unrelated matter.
Jings, matters are complex enough without inventing stuff.
Mind you, I doubt there are many folk with imagination sufficient to conceive the Sevco Supremacy.
Sort of ties in with the stated full houses at the bigot dome every game.
TBB
It’s all good fun >}
tomtheleedstim,
Belfast and Derry are incidental.
Glasgow’s where it’s at.
A veritable can of worms
I know we are all bampots looking for hints here & there but on the twitter feed, Pablo asks thommo, How is his Sevco story coming along, Thommo replies “Fine Thanks Flying from Belfast to Glasgow tomorrow”. To this bampot for him to gratuitously mention where he was whilst answering a question on the Sevco story is significant.
I’m off to the grassy knoll……….
Well Stan is retiring…
“I can help and I want to help and, in setting up a foundation to help address the issues involved when people are diagnosed with this illness, I hope to make a difference.
“This will be my new challenge, one I will face with all the enthusiasm, energy and drive with which I have faced every single challenge.”
He always was committed, he did the right thing by Celtic, football is not life and death but I’m sure the earnest attributes Mr Petrov has the shown will ensure the suffers of leukaemia will have a true force for good in their battle.
“For the life I’ve lived in football, I will always be incredibly grateful. For the opportunity this crazy thing that happened in my life has given me, I also feel grateful in a strange kind of way.”
With an attitude you do not need it, but best of luck Stan.
Hail! Hail!
Also on this day ..120 years ago Celtic beat Leith Athletic 3:1 to become Scottish Champions for the first time..1st of many h.h
I read with interest Brogan item about Davie Moyes and about Davie favouring Celtic over his fathers team Rangers. Sadly not true Davie Moyes used to stand at bearsden train station in very early 80’s with his Hun scarf on. We used to give him abuse as Celtic paid his wages
