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.

Behave yourself…….. You can’t talk about intelligence on one hand, then come up with that shoite
Excellent article on the issues of showing live football in countries with leagues not dissimilar to our own (2011)…

Thanks for the response.
It’s one thing suspecting that you are being cheated, but when it has been uncovered and the people responsible for sanctioning the cheating and corruption, rub our noses further in in, then I’m afraid, something inside dies and serious questions need to be asked of ourselves.
How much of it do we have to accept?
Is any club, even Celtic, worth the loss of self respect that is being taken from us ?
@67 has been i lick spittle neil lennon……im a celtic fan, all 30 yrs of my life ya cretin…. if you agree with tht half asssed statement from nei. l lennon then maybe u been follow followin the club from the wrong side of glasgow you ignorant …….what do you suggest; that we fly a union jack from a mast at celtic park? or maybe even build athrone in the jock stein stand for when the queen wants come watch a financially soun’ rangers team wipe the floor with a depleted celtic team in 2 yr’s time…u tell me sheepskin?
Afternoon bhoys, might just be me but think the hoops are a great price at 17/10 with Paddypower to start our season with a convincing win today? What do you think?

That old chestnut could prove I’m a Celtic man all day long. True Celtic men would never slate the club the way you do.

I have, at Tannadice on helicopter thursday before kick off. DD,JR and PL were sitting a few rows behind me and i took the opportunity of thanking them for their efforts and shaking their hands, i can subsequently say there was not even the merest deviation from a normal firm shake.

An apology would be appreciated, I found your comments quite disgusting.

I don’t care where they go.. They go there wounded beyond any possibility of doing any harm to Celtic for the foreseeable future.
Best they can hope for is to be a middling average team.. Maybe a Motherwell in the long run.
I have many Zhun pals and they are apothetic.. They are burst balloons. They have killed their own fans.
Most of their right thinking support are shamed and humbled.. And embarrassed to be associated with them. John Brown etc have a very limited audience to preach to.. I doubt he or them are too representative of most Hun fans who are no longer having ‘we are the Peepil ‘…
Mid table SPL awaits but not in the next 3-5 yrs.
DJTREAK ….. Was it something I said,,,!?

”If you look at the quality of the people who run the club”
And yet despite their egregious quality (as reflected in their wages) they ”have no control or influence over” what will happen to the huns.
I find that odd.
I suspect it won’t have occurred to you to question it.

Calling you an imbecilic slabbering hun troll would be disgusting.
What I said about you personally was highly accurate based on your submissions so far.

We do fly the union jack above the old stand and have done for many years

Ok I will bite I will meet you at any Celtic game home or Away this season and we will have a few beers. Just pick anyone and I will be there.

Call me ole fashioned but I’m lookin’ forward to the new season.
The horribles think that Celtic, and the rest of football, ‘need them’, although the reasons for that belief don’t stand up to serious scrutiny.
Time for us and the supporters of every other team in Scotland , to prove them wrong.
It has become apparent that this whole fiasco is a transparent masonic stitch-up. It’s not often that the shady lot show their hand so openly,but when it comes to keeping Shame F.C. alive and kicking and the corrupt beanfeast and the trough overflowing,then it’s everybody’s greasy palms priming the pump.
Nothing else can explain the staggering duplicity and open flouting of laws and rules.
It seems that no matter what anyone says,or how much proof is there for all to see,the only thing that matters in Scotland right now is that the most corrupt f.c. in footballing history be kept ticking over.
Everything that should be applied to them has,magically,become redundant and/or immaterial.
Amazing? Or predictable.

So much rule bending so little time.

This is not about financial management of the club, this is about corruption and complicity (or not)

Ernie my last post I will extend to you aswell. Few beers and talk Celtic.

Apologise to me unreservedly and I will consider it.

Was in Istanbul a couple of weeks ago for a meeting stayed in the Marmara Hotel in the centre of the city. The Besiktas ground is a five minute walk downhill from there. Looks fairly small but apparently the support is mental!
If McGregor is going to Turkey I hope he likes sitting in traffic jams, Istanbul can have crazy traffic.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I live 10 minutes walk from the stadium in Besiktas. The fans are great and the noise is amazing. I’m a wee bit worried with the news, and i have put the wife on lock down just in case McShagger is over for a visit!
Awe_Naw
What are you actually saying?
I have gave my opinion on one season only. On your continued issues with Celtic Football Club, I have made no comment and your continued bile towards myself on this matter is not appreciated.
So go away
djtreak- HMQ will be coming to CP in 2 years time, to open the ole Commonwealth games.

Sean son can you put down that Leggo and come over to CQN here for a few minutes and take my place. There seems to be a posse of Old Firmists determined that I shouldn´t complain about Old Firm ideals and keeping the masons in place within the footballing bodies….. they are just not having it…. you know no sevco .. no huns ok thanks pal … aye it will be easy for you
Hail Hail
Cults…,
I’m nolonger intersted in them, however if they doget in anywhere in the professinal game, the wholgame id compromised.
I think the biggst issue Awe_Naw is trying to address is that if they are kept alive the authorities will have done a job, if the hundead survive then the authorities survive, if the authorities survive nothing, thats 0% has chaged in scottish football, it will only be a matter of time till its business as usual. By publishing a statement through a mhan who is living his dream, thay the board are washing their hands does not instil confidence that they want change.

I feel that’s I think men would do face to face. So just name a game trust me you love the banter.
As cunning plans go it’s not exactly up there, is it?
Now how do we prove we’re financially sound? We’ve no accounts or anything. I know – we will just pretend to be a company that went into administration with massive debts and is about to be liquidated. That should work.
Unconvincing ????
I only ever came on here to help to disband the Old Firm
Nae Rangers in the SPL next year.
feel good like I knew that I wouldn’t
I feel good, baby like I knew that I wouldn’t
So good
I just want to make sure it is for ever …… unlike you hun lovers
Hail Hail
I honestly believe this coming season will be amazing. There is genuine completion for 2nd place and if any of them get their skates on early they can give us something to think about..
Keep an eye on Aberdeen this year.
Johnny Hayes and Nisll McGinn, Russell Anderson will make a contribution and Craig Brown and Archie Knox should not be underestimated .
Europe either CL or Europa will be good and the general change in to e in SPL will make for excitement.
The ‘Blazers’ may be locking the stable door but the horse has bolted …
