“If I hadn’t seen such riches, I could live with being poor.” When Celtic Park hosted the Commonwealth games in 2014, we played Champions League qualifiers at Murrayfield. It was an eye-opener. Entrance and egress, catering and shops, space and the feeling of safety and comfort were a level above what I was used to in the at the back row of the North Stand at Celtic Park (since moved).
Last month, I engaged the club on the need to improve the spectator experience, spend some money, be more like Murrayfield. I received an off the cuff but still detailed response on the millions spent each year to maintain and improve the stadium.
Property maintenance is a continuous job, especially in Scotland for buildings erected in the second half of the 20th century. If you cut corners, you have a bigger job and a higher price to pay down the road.
Newco are caught in a property renovation bind that could be straight out of an episode of Grand Designs. “Billy, a tax accountant from Glasgow, is building an eight-bedroom hovering home and has decided to project manage himself. Billy remembers ordering the steel girders, but the Chinese supplier is no longer answering the phone.” We are right to mock Billy.
You, me and James have seen such riches. We want to sit down in a stadium fit for the middle of the 21st century. What else are we going to do with all those millions?

What? I have tried to be positive and thought-provoking. There is one totally obvious prick on here that I totality ignore, If others cannot scroll past more fool they. For Christ’s sake, just ignore!
Neil McCann infers that Hungary are targeting a Celtic defender at the K.O.
Obsessed CSC
Reminder.. If you don’t wish to listen to that dick on bbc Scotland ,go for English bbc .
Scullybhoy
We both know who Tam is talking about.
mcginn targeted
I though McCoist was dire. McCann beats him hands down. He’s even worse.
Scotland started reasonably well but we are not committing enough midfielders to any breakaway attacks. Hard to escape the feeling that something bad is just about to happen
This hun team dive like a hun team…and get away with it like all hun teams.

Dermot owns Sandy Lane in barbados, it is not in the celtic accounts.
why is the park hotel a seperate entity from kilmarnock plc, em, because it is a different company.

I never think it’s a great strategy to be cautious and conservative in committing to attack and then going for it gung ho in the last 5-10 minutes
Swiss Tony will be pleased with the way tonight’s game is playing out.
Another 45 minutes I won’t get back. Woeful.
What are the odds on Moyes as the next Scotland manager?
Stephnhoy,
I do feel disabled access is a priority for changing Celtic park. and access/egress.
Scotland look as though they could play for a month and not score a goal . In fact they look as though they could play for a month and not manage an attempt on goal .
where is this ‘playing to win the game’ that Steve Clarke was talking about?

What are the odds on Moyes as the next Scotland manager?
I have listened to him during these bbc commentary.
loves McGrogor, defended Ralston, didnt really clamour for our Billy,
next celtic manager maybe.
The way McCann is going on about Anthony Ralston , you’d think he was just some punter they had pulled out of the stand to fill a position .
Hungary are not ever going to be as passive in the 2nd half- they want 3 points too
Scotland won’t win the game playing like this. Too deliberate, too slow, wee bit forward play from McGinn and Ralston on the right. Adams working hard to no avail. Hungary not even pressing to any great extent, flashes of forward play but not offering a huge threat. Would give Shankland and or Conway a chance in the second half. We need to win, to do so we need to figure out a way to do it, quicker forward passing whatever, use the subs, Jamesie maybe.
Tartan Army booing Sweet Caroline- we’ve let England co-opt this song- even the EDL sing it- though it was written by Neil Diamond- a big supporter of Obama
James Mcfadden is doing the co-commentary on every region in the uk, excellent Scotland (which has Neil Mccann). Can’t think why. I’d advise switching to James.
Except Scotland
Steve Clarke will not use James Forrest among his first 3 subs
The Stairs:
Sounds as though they will put their buses into the part of the car park nearest their section behind that stand. At the moment there is a solitary gate to enter that car park at that end. Because of the amount of people who will arrive and leave there then they need something that can handle the increase in foot fall and of course keep it safe to do so. Por cierto.
Robertson having a poorer game than Tony but Neil McCann is blind to that
Park the bus – blooter – goal – easy!

Or….play the Brendan tippy tappy borefest.
Change to tappy tippy if it gets too boring…like cutey Brendan does. 👀️
PS, Hungry are the only real democracy in the EU coz they park the bus in front of the EU zio bankers “Kalergy plan” disguised as diversity which really means get rid of white folk. 👀️
PS, Where is GFTB? 👀️
Hmmm…
🍀️
…..oot.
That’s where McGinn needed to fire the pass as hard as Callum did
McTominey, McGinn & Robertson (from the best league in the world) have been rank rotten.
Hope that means one of them scores.
Really hard to pick a Scotland MOTM- almost everyone is a 5 out of 10.
MOM Tony Ralston
At least McTominay showed ambition.. but not much intelligence there
Interesting to see which midfielder Stuart Armstrong replaces
Not sure what Gunn was doing there
Gonna be a different game now- need to wary of the physical stuff
Why oh why do football fans applaud injured players as they get stretchered off. Never could get that
Hungarian sub no 9 looks like a competition winner of a cap.
Our set pieces have been piss poor
