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.

Mags,
No, I was makin a drunken ramble (in jest) about being misrepresented as an Obama hater (FFS!!!! >:((( ) but was doin so in drunken jest.
Beau was stirrin it methinks :)))))
Oh did I mention
trials are underway for players who wa to play for a newly formed club going by the name of Belfast Celtic :o)
If anything goes wrong, it’s all Beau’s fault. ;>)
Heh heh.

Ah! I see . I remember now. That was the “who can misrepresent obama more by misrepresenting obama more than the true misrepresenting obama haters” window we had last week. I remember it vaguely. :) I hear there’s another opportunity this weekend. Dont miss it!!!
FFM,
seriously Belfast Celtic
a huge step forward for society
Mags,
Am becoming less of a fan of Obama windows.
Discuss…….question addressed to Osama Bin Laden.

Neil..are you sure its not just Coleraine looking for a name change or is this the real deal?
£7M for Ki. Take it.
Canamalar,
Tis true, should be great news.
But the presence of Linfield who will grow in support due to hun zombifiecation put a dampener on it.
But not that much, as I predict they’ll take a lot less than 140 yrs to liquidate themselves. :)))
I predict 15 yrs, mibbes ten if they have full NIFA support, while BC are prudently run.
Heh heh heh.
mags,
alas a wee dream only.
they unveiled one of those comemorative plaques, cant happen till the plaque works :o)

Wow. Very good sentiments in that plaque.
Falls Road is rapidly becoming a place of art and tourism.ub
An Culturlan, beautiful wee arts centre. Some great boozers (the George Best pub – Paddy McCourt’s pub…)
The Celtic Way lives on…..culture for all. Simples.
Nae dodgy cooking recipes giving the locals food poisoning.
Now lhads while we’re here
Thre will b a few books written about the current football situation in scottish fotball, what would be your choosen genre, if a selection were available
Tom Sharp – Riotous assembly, The Throwback, Blot on the Landscape
Terry Pratcett – The Unseen University, The Thieves Guild, Mort
something like that would be how I’d enjoy rading about all the shenanigans
any other suggestions would help understand your coosen genre prefeences, mystery, documentry, theres no end of fun come to think of it :)

whats in store today in the best little soap opera in the world?
oh, and on more important matters, ain’t it good to read a
celtic football report again?

Morning Celts,
Reading back I see someone mentioned we’re selling Ki for £7mill, I think a good season especially in Europe will raise that price by a few million.
My initial thoughts when I read (and heard) £7mill was anger but I guess in the current financial climate it would be useful money to take in.
The question is what will we do with the money?
HH
I love how Delia pops in, calls sumbdy a liar, then beats it. That’s value for money.
Cmon the Hoops!
BTW, I have the privelige of being the first Delia liar, I think. And it was in block caps! I’m a star, me.
HH
And I cannae spell…
Good morning fellow Celts from the 0631 to Waterloo lovely blue skies today….brolly binned for the time being…
Cannot believe some people are having a go at Lenny for his rallying call statement!
Thought the science of twisting his statements and intentions was the preserve of MSM and the currants?
Sad, sad state of affairs (shakes heidi)

SCOTTISH football is staring at a staggering £80MILLION loss in TV cash if the SFL send Rangers plunging into the Third Division.
Tomorrow Ian and his succulent mates tell how Scotland the entire country is finished if Sevco is not allowed into the SFL 1st division

I have no idea…but if he did that would mean a done deal :)
Either way not much he can do about that now and he has a team to prepare for a new season.
