The second half last night will be remember for the fact that right back Mikael Lustig came within the width of the crossbar of scoring a hat-trick, while left back Emilio Izaguirre also hit the crossbar – and was caught offside in the centre forward position. The movement and energy levels required for this type of performance cannot be overestimated.
Adam Matthews’ goal on Saturday, when he burst a lung to cover half the field and get on the end of a move as it developed on the opposite wing, is another example of how physically taxing playing for Celtic is right now. And just as importantly, how taxing it is to play against them.
Motherwell competed as best they could before hitting the wall and capitulating.
Kano
I knew the minutes’ applause for Kano was coming last night, but it was a hard moment nonetheless. Sannabhoy read a letter at halftime from Martin’s wife, Carolyn, explaining the family’s appreciation for what the Celtic family did for them.
It’s appropriate for us to return our respect to Kano’s family, and to Sannabhoy and his Kano Foundation colleagues. They got the charity work ball rolling for so many of us. They gave us the opportunity to aspire to become better people.
There’s a link at the bottom of the article to sign-up for CQN11, where the work to build another school kitchen in Malawi goes on. You are part of an incredible community. Be there.
Just a brief note on Honest Dave King’s recent claims. He will become a director of newco Rangers in the event the forthcoming EGM votes him so. I’ve no doubt he will be able to find a NomAd to work with him, not all have the same standards, allowing the company to retain its listed status with him as a director.
It is also true that the SFA cannot stop him becoming a director. They do not have a Fit and Proper test, they have fit and proper criteria, which directorial appointments are measured against after they are appointed.
Despite all we’ve seen in come out of Hampden over the last few years, I would be amazed if the SFA board approved a tax convict and former director of a club which broke tax law, player registration rules and went into liquidation. It’s not even a remotely tenable suggestion.
After the event, the SFA would be in a position to penalise newco Rangers – most probably through a fine – and instruct them to dismiss King. King, of course, has all the humility and self-awareness required to apologise and resign without a fuss. There’s no way he would use his well-marshalled media campaign to try what Craig Whyte and Charles Green did before him – play to the gallery, blame all his ills on an ‘anti-Rangers’ conspiracy.
Note how the media campaign is rolling out King comment and press releases as definitive news, not subjective claims. Note also that Easdale press releases are being covered by the media, but that pantomime-hate figure, Jack Irvine, is being attributed as the source.
Note that Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias are saying nothing. They’re just going about their business. You don’t need crystal balls to see how this one is going to end.
CQN11 St Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance is on Friday 13 March, at the Kerrydale Suite, Celtic Park. The focus of an excellent night’s entertainment will be funding the construction of a kitchen at Chibwata Primary School in Malawi, for Mary’s Meals.

The Hamilton left -back, Stephen Henrie, was mentioned, and, off it went,people started talking about breaks, rests and so on.
You’ve probably only seen the tip of the iceberg

Natknow,
I think the scatter gun approach to finding talent has been wasteful, less projects and we should have been watching better football.
—————————————————————
So when you say Celtic have been “downsizing” you mean you disagree with the transfer strategy?
BSR, thanks, it would take a brave journolist to put his name to that, I mean, look what happens to people who loan them money when they are broke!
Gearoid, cheers.
Quick shower and back to visit.
I will pass on your best wishes.
Thanks again.

Beram…
Good luck to you.
Not only damaged physically by Elbows but, sadly mentally too. Courage deserted you as a result.
I don’t condemn you…its just a shame.
Wish you well.

Justafan 17.59, completely agree with your thoughts, Beram was never the same in his head again. What a shame, I really thought he was a player when he arrived. Remember that belter he scored at Celtic Park vs Dundee Utd, I think we won 4-1? Woooooofffftttt!
Wish it had worked out better for him but I think he lacked a bit of mental toughness. But what do I know? Hope he finds what he is looking for.

I was just on Rangers Media. Really depressing. It’s fair to say we are sharing oxygen with the sons of Billy Fullerton – violent, uneducated, extreme right wing, hate filled people who can’t speak without grunting ‘bheasts’, or ‘c**ts’, whilst justifying violence with the most idiotic logic etc.
It has taken me a long time, but now I don’t want to play whoever the fascist underclass is supporting these days.
I am now for the first time sickened that DD would look forward to their return.
The ownership of CFC is probably in the wrong hands. DD isn’t a celtic man – he is a uber capitalist. PL etc IMO are just doing the best job they can at the behest of it’s major shareholder, and they are doing it very well.
I’d like CFC to explore becoming a fully charitable organisation. I’d like the board to facilitate a full buyout by the supporters of the shares owned by such capitalists by adding for example £100 onto a season ticket, with said money being used to eventually buying out the likes of DD. Then I’d like a voluntary board administering the club for 100% charitable purposes, in line with our roots.
My second point is (and I’m sorry for being a broken record but nothing else matters )I’d like to get away from the KKK for good and have CFC apply to join the Belgian / Dutch league if an Atlantic league is not forthcoming. Now. Not think about it for 10 years whilst we rot, but do it this year. Even death hasn’t stopped the KKK as financial self interest and intimidation have combined to reanimate ‘them’.
Financial interest has stopped every CFC board from calling out the KKK for what they are. Why the hell did we not refuse to play them for decades over their signing policy? Owner self interest, from the Kellys, Whites, thru to DD.

Welcome to the pleasuredome.
Kayal was brilliant for us initially. Talk of Manc interest. One thing is for sure he will get much better protection from Referees “darn saarff”
Not in Ronnies plans so it was a no brainer for him.

Welcome to the madhouse.
Do you frequent the Royal Horseguards in Brentford,good few Tims in there!
Sevco fine Simonsen 3 years wages……
Kayal’s departure means that we will no longer see him referred to as “Kayak” on CQN.
Got to be a good thing.
Now if only people could get Ronny Deila’s name right.

Gents,
Haven’t read back today, but was wondering if anyone has spoken with Weefra today. He didn’t seem himself last night, and I was just wondering if he is okay. Hope so.

Always thought that Nigerian striker “Canoe” could’ve done a job for us
Mike..,
He’s probably got a riddie
Re last night,
1 goal from our CB , 1 from our best striker an 2 from oor right back. Whats no to like. The 4th goal must be 1 of the best ever seen at Celtic Park imho, and I had a wee cheeky £5 on 4-0 Tic. Well fans deserve a wee mention for joining in the minutes applause, surprised me with that.
Good evening friends

>> Cheers Bobby. Not so mad here. Some good insights from the guys who watch the team every week, like I once did before exile and kids came along.
No I don’t frequent the RH – though I was there and a few before the Brentford pre-season game a few years ago.
