It was good to get our business out of the way on Friday night before what turned out to be an interesting weekend, as the Scottish Premiership adopted a familiar look. Aberdeen did well to come from behind away to Ross County. They will not challenge for top spot, but their grip on second place looks to be in rude health.
The major questions is, is there a genuine challenge from Hibs for the remaining European spots? Their win at Ibrox, also coming from behind, suggests Neil Lennon has instilled an important ingredient of success: attitude. Not every opponent will be as defensively porous as Newco. Nor will they always face a self-defeating pantomime of a stadium.
The test for Neil will come when his team faces disciplined defensive formations – like Ross County, the only side who have prevented Hibs from scoring this season.
St Johnstone are the only other team on full points, however, they have the benefit of starting the season earlier than those who didn’t have European football, so I wouldn’t read too much into their wins against Motherwell and Kilmarnock. Their 0-3 League Cup tanking at home to Partick Thistle may be more indicative of the season ahead.

Philbhoy,

A bit like the scene on the stairs in the Titanic movie:))
Poetic Licence and all that.
HH, gotta go

Certainly no expert, but I know the share price of businesses in these markets reflect the market movers opinion of the underlying value of each one. It’s likely that we’re not far away from Celtic announcing summary results for the year to June and the number crunchers will have extrapolated the six month interims to have a good idea about the club’s (i.e.the company’s) net worth.

All the best to the development squad tonight in the IrnBru Cup. Heading to Annan in next half hour on an overnighter. Corner house hotel in three hours, stock up your bar, please.
No police charges for Neil,absolute waste of time from these clowns.

We stayed there earlier in the year for one night.
Right old fashioned place.
There is a good pub across the road and to the right.
The Anglers.
Also the chippy across the road and to the left is worth a visit!
Enjoy!
!!BADA BING!!
Good news!
I think the powers that be can see through the hun agenda………at last.
I wonder if PL is beginning to influence our referees and legal guardians in his ludge?
Ye never know!
Should have added the polis to that list.
Right, work to do!
Ha, ha, ha …
I think someone at Shortbread must be reading CQN!
Further to my earlier note (@ 10:17) pointing out the suspicious lack of any mention of Celtic on the Beeb’s ‘Glasgow & West’ news web-link: lo and behold, a few minutes later, a Celtic-related story pops up (albeit a negative one, on the prospect of KT being lured south). Still no mention of Champions League football, though.
I should have taken a screen grab …
;-)
Clogher Celt…@ 11.28…nice image…walking down the tunnel and seeing all my loved ones waiting for me…nae smiles though, pure waggy tails… :-)
PhilBhoy and GuyFawkes…
Thanks for your input ghuys. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling knowing that the Club are doing well on all fronts.
The Imperial Bears are trying to bring pressure on the Daily Rectum to give them better reviews!
Good god, The Daily Rectum – better reviews for Sevco? If it gave them any better reviews it
would have to change it’s name to the Daily Hun!
Anyway, to achieve this end they are targetting the main advertisers at The Rectum starting with
Arnold Clark – asking supporters not to buy anything from this organisation.
Why, therefore don’t we, as Celtic supporters, reciprocate with a ban of our own?
The company keeping the lights on at Snake Mountain with soft loans is Parks of Hamiltion.
Every penny given to this group for car and parts purchase, bus hires (are you listening CFC?) etc
helps towards the contnued existence of the Manky Mob?
PARKS OF HAMILTON – THE MAN FROM DELMONTE SAYS” NO”!
Hail! Hail!

I read on line that Alves is the best paid player in Scotland 30k plus a week!!!!!
That cannot be right?
Oh my good God!
I watched Sportscene a few times the last few days and watching the highlights his positional sense for a very experienced player was horrific. If he was a Celtic CB we’d be wailing and gnashing our teeth – think Boyata, Ambrose, Erik sometimes when they do something less than immaculate in defence for us and plenty before them. And then imagine any of them were our best earners! Heated driveways, scouting networks and lack of ambition would be taken to new levels of overuse………
My suspicion is that he can’t be that poor and that, going by his body language, he just wasn’t trying that hard or his legs aren’t doing what they maybe used to (never saw much of the guy in his younger days as far as I know). It wasn’t just at the goals either, he was chasing things in strange parts of the field for a CB – so he either thinks he is too good for this league and can do what he likes or he’s just not that good.
But 30 plus thousand a week for that! Holy Moly……..
On the downside I hope it doesn’t lead to discontent in our own team at not getting those wages for being much better than him!!

Anyone paying Alves the thick end of £2m a year-plus signing on fee-has a total disregard for finance.
The huns have casually ignored income/expenditure ever since Murray arrived-if not before.
Whyte?
Green?
It gets worse with every incarnation.
But these people who now run that club are throwing money around like confetti,and I for one would like to know where it is coming from.
PS-I have my suspicions
PPS-since I’m no f…..g Sherlock,why are they getting away with it?
The pure beelin perma-ragers will be beelin and ragin that the ginger headed fenian prince has no case to answer. Let’s see what the corrupt body of the SFA have to say?
Check out picture on ETIMS today of ALVES at Murrays goal on SAT
And if stlll available look at the job he does when Murderwell
break near end of game and guy goes himself instead of playing guys free on
either side of him.
Alves clatters into to someone on half way line
HE is passed by about 6 players 3 from each side as he tries to get back
then clatters into one of his own players in the box.
30K a week HOPE SO and hope clause he has to play…

SHUSH,
Dont be bad mouthing Big Bruno.The scum think he is the greatest.Even after witnessing his shocking defending,they will not admit it.Blame everyone else.their stupidity goes in all directions.We can see Cardoso is just a Keirnan with a suntan,now it looks as though Alves is Clint Hill with a man bun.
Kenny Miller getting a round of F___s thrown at him for being to “Pally”with Taigs.Dear God.Demanding he is dropped.Pena on a Slimfast 3 month Diet Plan.His fondness for alcohol and clubbing ,not helping one bit.
The fun never stops at the Big Hoose.
