Neil Lennon’s interview with the official site was the second resounding State of the Club address from Celtic within a week. The manager said:
”Clearly, in terms of where Rangers do play, that is now a matter for others to decide upon, it is something we have no control or influence over.
“We must now move on, and move on with a collective unity between the supporters and the club and the team.
“We need to stand strong, shoulder to shoulder and all work together to continue to move the club in the right direction.
“We want as many fans as possible to come back to the club and take their seat at Celtic Park and invest in the club as much as possible.
“We are now looking forward and not back, we have a vibrant young team, I want to progress this team as far as I can but we cannot do this without the fans’ support.
“There will be no slacking off or complacency, we have a lot to look forward to and that´s what we are preparing for, but I need to be very clear, we need our fans with us every step of the way.
“We cannot let outside negative influences dictate the mood at Celtic, we are very optimistic and we are very much looking forward to the season but we need our fans right with us”.
“It´s imperative we make inroads in Europe again this year and it would be nice to get through the qualifiers and into the Champions League group stages, but I´m under no illusion how difficult that´s going to be
“Everyone wants to play at the big table and that´s our whole focus. We go into this as champions and that is a fantastic feeling, so hopefully that will give the players an extra spring in their step.
“If we qualify then you never know where it will take us.”
I hear season ticket sales are up on the corresponding period last season but the message from Neil is clear, with the driver for high-value corporate ticket sales missing, Celtic are more dependent on ordinary supporters buying tickets than ever before.
This is your tax-and-supplier-paying-champions-today-and-next-season-Celtic. You wouldn’t rather it any other way so get along and enjoy it.

They cant come down Church St anymore so they come down the one nearest Saint Patricks which is John Street. Sad muppets.

oglach – I posted this earlier.
“I really hope to God that nobody on this fine Celtic blog is accusing Neil Lennon of being a man without integrity or principles, following his recent statement on the official Celtic website.
You know, the same Neil Lennon who could have walked away from the club when his life was threatened with bombs & bullets. The same Neil Lennon who was physically attacked at Tynecastle and his family moved to a safe house in the middle of the night on a number of occasions.
Nobody would dare question this man’s integrity or principles on here, would they?”
You have to ask yourself, is Neil a board flunky, a man without integrity or principle or was he just offering an honest opinion?
+++++
Again as far as i am aware no one on CQN has ever questioned Neil’s integrity. NL is as entitled to voice an opinion on a particular issue pertaining to CFC as every one of the esteemed posters the blog. However we do not all have to agree with everything he says. I have been annoyed by a couple of comments NL has made in his tenure as our manager but have never questioned his honesty.
tommytwiststommyturns – I couldn’t agree more. (thumbsup)
tolbhoy67,
i read somewhere that he is having talks with Cardiff

Geezza break!! The place is full of shops waanntinn your gold!! lol <o)))
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ – PS, for “High Street”, I of course meant “Main Street”.
The shame I feel now for that faux pas is almost as piping hot as the time I made a waiter heat up my gazpacho soup. (thumbsup)

If we combined the Barca Model with the Lyon Model we could follow the Bar-L Model.
I’m really not much fussed about my rep on here
Now working on shoehorning the Ajax Model into a bad gag

Good point about the loss of coporate sales at Sevco.
They’re crippled in so many ways. That’s a big one. Compare to Man City who are making big investments in their corporate sales.
Hopefully Celtic are looking at the same approach – we should be hoovering up corporate sales rather than using the hun demise as an excuse for their decline if that’s the case….
To be fair, I much MUCH more look forward to our main games being v Aberdeen. That’s the club that should be competing with us at the top of the SPL.

I know, right?
I couldn’t believe it last time I went home. I felt like Marty McFly gone to the evil version of Hill Valley in Back To The Future 2. The only positive thing to happen to the town centre in the last decade has been the Celtic shop. (thumbsup)
Must sicking them to see mc gunnigals on main street in Coatbridge now they were going to protest outside it when we had a liquidation party in it :-)

SFTB,
Don’t know anything about the Lyon model..?
But am disappointed you pre-empted by Ajax gag. FFS.
(Probably just as well though, my patter’s mince. Hence I leave you with my admiration for the Brazilian Model ). :)

You’re just saying that cos it’s opposite Asda which means you get Smartprice wine while also contributing to the increase in share value of Walmart.
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ – Drop into the Eagle Inn the nxt time you are home. Good tim pub!!
The Eagle Inn, can’t believe that’s still there! I think the last time I was in there was the 90’s.
I used to like the pubs in the Whifflet, the Big Tree and the Forge mainly. When we won the league in 1998 the molligation directed across the road at Carsons/Auld Hoose was hilarious. (thumbsup)
if they want to play in any league next year they’ll need a medium! good luck in the beyondthegrave 12!
no promotion, only relegation.
follow the money

Fortunes Favour Mibbes – You’re just saying that cos it’s opposite Asda which means you get Smartprice wine while also contributing to the increase in share value of Walmart.
I do love me some Walmart.
Ever been to one? They’re palaces of capitalism, where a man can buy a television, a beer, and a shotgun, all under one roof. Asda is the poor relation I fear.
But what Scotland really needs is more Waitroses to civilise the natives out of their left wing extremism through the power of grissini. (thumbsup)
knoxy2000
Be strong!! YNWA.
Knoxy
There are thousands of people thinking about Wee Oscar.
I hope our thoughts, our hopes, help in some way.
knoxy, you don’t know me but like so many others have been touched by Oscars story. Been in my thoughts all day since your first tweet this morning. Hoping for some better news soon. YNWA.

His wee body has taken a pounding with the chemo that none of us can even contemplate.
Prayers with you. x

I’ve bought all those things at Asda, except a shotgun. Hmmm…
How can they sell them without knowing I wouldn’t take my change and receipt, and then use it to rob them, and then return the shotgun with receipt to another store a month later for a refund??
I spotted my first Scottish lesser-spotted Waitrose by chance the other day, in Edinbourg of all places, sneakily hidden behind tall bushes and small fascia signage, using 80 year old women struggling down the street with their proud Waitrose shopping bags as their only form of advertisement.
Nothing changes.
Heard Maradona’s at a loose end. He could play for Sevco, alongside Gazza. It’d be like signing a new Mark Hateley…… There’s a thought – they could sign Mark Hateley….”It’d be like signing Mark Hateley” says, er umm, Mark Hateley ;)

Knoxy-Hope things pick up very soon HH.
Jim Boyce from Norn Iron ,FIFA Vice President on SSN ,said he hopes Sevco go to Div 1.
no players, no registration, no registration, no players, no accounts, no registration, no accounts, no players, no players, no contracts, no contracts, no registration, no registration, no club…night night! pray for oscar
Heard John Terry’s garbage on SSN ,which was heard in court,a taped interview with an FA lawyer? I think we know what the verdict is here.
Hearing John Terry in front of an Edinburgh jury is like a new signing.

Great idea, except that in the land of the free, there’s a good chance some of the other customers and staff will be packing heat and/or be Chuck Norris too.

Their wine selection is first class too. (thumbsup)
Philvis,
Aye, but the 80yr old burds struggling down the street with their Waitrose carrier bags weren’t packing shotguns, wine or cider.
Was just bread, butter, tins of tuna and quarter bottles of vodka.
Got to love that middle class Edinburgh approach to boozing.
I felt humbled.
Anyhoos, Jimmy Kelly wants a word with you….
