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.

Well done to Ciaran.
Gallagher sounds like a great bhoy you have raised mate.
If BT were to take on sole rights to SPL games and pay a decent sum for the privilege Id switch.
I like my football but have stopped subscribing to Sky because of the imbalance they have brought to our game.
Ian P Livingston (48)
Independent Non-Executive Director
Mr Livingston was appointed to the Board as an independent non-executive director in October 2007 and chairs the Audit Committee. Mr Livingston is Chief Executive of BT Group plc, having also served as chief executive of BT Retail and as Group Finance Director. Mr Livingston has also previously been Group Finance Director of Dixons Group plc and a non-executive director of Ladbrokes plc (formerly Hilton Group plc). He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1987.

Another new troop on the terraces for next year,
Gallagher

well done him
HH
Mike
gallagher,
Hero is a word which is used too much these days, especially in the press.
Your Son is a real Hero as I define it, someone who takes a big risk to help someone in need for no personal gain. Ciaran would make any father proud.

Yup so Id expect Celtic to be well clued in to the potential to create rivalry with Sky and so a higher payment to the SPL for the contract.
If I were BT I would market to the Scottish public as being the provider that does not screw Scottish football.
Gallagher
You should be proud.

I gave up sky too , only really watched the Celtic games. Would be interested if BT took on the whole SPL and packaged it up at a nice price.

How apt.
The ESPN element of the SPL package that BT have assumed is a 5 year lock-in.
While it is encouraging that:
a) A peer of Sky’s is serious about giving them a square go commercially, and
b) The emerging broadcasting medium of choice is Internet
…there is unlikely to be meaningful change to the broadcasting of Celtic games any time soon, let alone any change in the value of the rights.
This is underlined by the SPL’s decision last week to continue presenting their bottom to BBC for a further 3 years for a broadcasting rights package that is hugely unbalanced in comparison to the BBC’s presentation of English football.

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
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Davie Moyes joined Celtic in 1978, and left in 1983.
Shocking if true!
HH!!
So blantyretim has the broadcasting rights for the fitba? Do you need to go to his house to watch it??
tom mclaughlin-that will be the same idle speculation you called me out for yesterday.”but we have a manager….”
–
Good Man Ciaran right time right place.
SCAM ALERT!
Know some people got caught out with this some months back – beware!
Just had a call from (probably) the Indian sub-continent claiming to be Microsoft.
Usual spiel – technical difficulties/ switch on your computer/ what’s your I.P. address.
No idea where they got my home phone number from (probably a mailing-list) – have never disclosed it on any programme or down-load.
Sorry lads The Exiled Tim posted it he info in that link I posted.
Start again.
If you check The Exiled Tims post it’s the same as what’s on that link I posted.
new article posted.

Pardew’s Major Mistake Letting Forster Go To Celtic ?
This is the same site that derided Forsters abilities when he signed for Celtic.
Via twitter.
@BTSport although I’m still confused as to why a Scottish 2nd division player is on this poster? http://t.co/PS8yy8Bpc9
New article bhoys
Gallacher well done to yuor bhoy and impotantly he is also safe if a bit chilly ……. brrrr lol
whoever posted the Championship winning game in 98, cheers,
great to watch that much of the game.
how good was Henriks goal, how good was Phil, what a day.
Tally. Only 2 Huns used to be at Bearsden train station. Davie Moyes and his wee ugly Hun mate tiny Martin. Never saw Moyes with a Hun scarf when he played for 1st team. Only when he played with reserves Went with Moyes on train from bearsden one night to Hamilton to see the hoops about 81. He didn’t have his Hun scarf on that night but a Celtic blazer
Winning Captains,
Nice understatement “25th May – Football Match – Celtic v Inter Milan”
Today is victory day for many. Russians are celebrating the defeat of Nazi evil. For those interested, there are some wonderful images of joy to be seen.
On another note… I see the media have finally written about Aiden in Russia. They have had ample chances to write about the experiences of a Glaswegian footballer playing for a huge Russian club but have not seemed to interested until now. Aiden’s passion has actually endeared him to the locals of Spartak!
Unlike many who profess a love for Celtic, Aiden actually chose to play and stay with Celtic. I would love to see him back one day. It still annoys me that so many of our ‘fans’ shouted abuse at him.

I actually don’t remember that much of the match itself (which is true of nearly all games to be honest). I do recall the euphoria and the general sense of well being thereafter.
I almost certainly ended up in the Sub Club that night.
