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.

I am Neil lennon !!! We are all Neil Lennon!!!!
SonsOfErin – I agree… And similarly, should the issue of league prize money not also be considered? Clearly at the moment there is no money at RFCiL to return to the various competition owners what they have received in unwarranted prize monies, but if BDO can reverse the larceny of RFCiL property assets sale to Sevco for £2.75m, and carry out a proper liquidation selling off the properties for closer to market value, there may be some money in the pot to redistribute to all SPL clubs affected,

I agree about the wee pub across from the Athena Royal hotel – watched a few Euro 2008 games there when at my pal’s wedding. There are a few bars down near the docks and most of the hotel bars should have satilite. Happy viewing!
Rangers have swooped to add Henry McLeish to their squad for the new season. He joins Stewart Regan, Neil Doncaster and Campbell Ogilvie in a four pronged attack. manager Ally McCoist said “I’m happy now that we have the squad to get us back on top.
McCoist refused to rule out further recruitment but would not comment on reports that continue to link Alec Salmond with the Ibrox club.
Ray Milland ?
Glasgow based Country Punk combo —– The Elvis Suicide did a suitably edgy tribute to Ray Milland – called Ray Milland .
And another thing! If ibrox, car park and murray park are now valued at 2.75m, whilst previously being valued at 100m on the oldco audited accounts for 2009 and 2010.
And Sevco are submitting those oldco accounts for their current SFA application (with valuations which we now _know_ to be incorrect). Are Sevco to be made liable for submitting falsified accounts?

And another thing too… should the auditors that signed off RFC accounts in 2009-10 not be invited to explain how they reached such a valuation? Will the answer be ‘to keep HBOS happy’?
’tis a tangled web they have weaved…
Why anyone would listen to a former First Minister who resigned in disgrace because he couldn’t handle his office expenses without getting in a muddle (not fiddle) I don’t know.
I can see bad things happening this week.
None of them will do Celtic any favours.
None of them will do Scottish football any favours.
None of them will do Fair Play™ any favours.
It is time for Celtic PLC to make a statement.
Celtic PLC have been wise to sit on the sidelines up till now and see how things have progressed, not giving ammunition to the Protestant Scotland to start a diversionary campaign.
But time is critical.
The mother of all stitch-ups is happening before our eyes.
Mutton Head henry is being rolled out with the Sporting Integrity Megaphone.
Who next, in the lead up to the votes?
Come on Celtic. It is time to show your hand.
Do as the fans, who pay your wages, insist upon.
Retribution, Respect, Resolution.
Where is the Ki money?!

Italian fitba transfer rumor mongers claiming —-
Liverpool FC are willing to let £ 35 million Andy Carroll go on loan to West Ham . They also claim that Liverpool are prepared to sell him for £ 15 million .
Wag can’t resist adding that the current financial crisis is now impacting on the value of a pair of elbows.

Not beyond the realms of possible scenarios. I hope with every sinew in my body that you are wrong though.
tacit – Tacenda are things not to be mentioned or made public—things better left unsaid; tacit means “unspoken, silent” or “implied, inferred.”
Woman seen recently with Kim Jong Un is a singer called Hyon Song Wol who had a hit in 2005 with the catchy number “Excellent Horse-Like Lady”. Apparently.
Tacit consent……………
Aye!
I remember seeing Hyon Song Wol and the Excellent Horse-Like Ladies at the Ole Burns Howff. What a waste of time and money that was.
Offensive if you take it literally. Language warning.
