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.

Found this amusing, on Twitter……..
“Training at Murray Park tomorrow will be taken by Kris Boyd
9am : fried breakfast
10am : fried breakfast
11am – 4pm : nap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
67H,
Are you going to watch the game against the Tribute act?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Most certainly not …… I have yearned for their demise since I was wee Bhoy, due to the irrefutable fact they they only brought hatred, violence and sectarian bigotry into the ‘beautiful game ‘…… when their corruption caught up with them in 2012, I was genuinely elated, and delighted that my ‘paranoia’ had ended ….the last three years have been the happiest in my (football) life and I ‘don’t do’ watching zombies……. I will never enter the same stadium as their ‘horde horribilis’ again, and you have no idea how pleased I am about that…..
Celtic sent me an email, offering me a ticket for next week….my reply ::: “but they’re deed” and when my SB renewal comes out, I will be demanding it is reduced by the price of 2 tickets (hopefully that won’t be necessary since their tribute act is heading for the buffers also, due ‘abject denial’ and pathetic management of their finances / team etc. …
HT
A great birthday wish to
a great celtic man.

Happy Birthday Hamilton Tim. Have a great day.
In th DR,Barry Ferguson has urged Rangers fans to put their battles with the board aside for one day to help Fernando Ricksen.
Admirable sentiments articulately expressed. Ricksen is fighting a truly horrible disease with courage. As,of course,is the son of our own RWE. I wish him well,and I congratulate Barry and the DR for the article.
Neither of them though mention the statement from Ricksen pleading with the fans to turn up,safe in the knowledge that ALL receipts from this benefit match are going to him and not the club,thus deftly avoiding a very difficult question.
My congratulations are somewhat tempered as a result,although Ferguson may not have been aware of the statement when his article was drafted. No such excuse for the DR.

Summa of Sammi…
The majority of which are at Vitesse Arnhem, and they are doing not too badly, did well last season as well.
Very quiet on here since Wednesday, we must have had a good result.
Are the majority of cqners malcontents these days?
Next years domestic line up for me
Efe Michael Charlie
Adam Scott Biton Johansen emilio
Griff Stokesy
Hey kdc anyone who posts after a victory that takes us to the top of the league is a clique and board lover don’t you know. Luvin the Hun in Hun action simply the best.

The front two can weave some magic!
Many HOOPY returns to HT.

We do have our fare share of malcontents, some with a modecom of justification, some with agendas, and some lurkinhuns…..me? I’m just one DELIGHTED Celtic supporter these days, living from one game to the next, …. win, lose or draw …….HH
BMCUWP,
Would like to see us try three at back with Adam and Emilio moving more into midfield role, we already know they will fall into defensive positions and it’s now natural to their game to track back, wingers that fill in as full backs, just a subtle change to their current positions.
BMCUWP couldn’t agree more they have a great understanding , link well together, would love Ronny to see it and let it flow. We need two up front. Stokesey and Griff

I adopted that mindset (hopefully) about for seasons ago, can’t recommend it highly enough, got the fun of the game back
