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.

Shocking statement from Lenny
For others to decide …complicit by our silence
It’s all about money with this crowd …shameful
I am reminded of a quote from Edmund Burke…All that is necessary for the triumph of evil ………. I’m sure you know the rest.

‘alex thomson @alextomo
Berwick voting D1- their director Brian Porteous has 516
“Rangers” shares. Pure coincidence I’m sure.’
I hope whoever is doing these checks is taking the elementary precaution of checking that the individuals don’t also hold shares in Celtic.
Don’t want to get involved in bitchy comments etc. but I will say this.
If the hun re appears next year at this time in the Premier League debt free
they will be an attractive proposition for investment.
Is this fair?
Is everyone happy with this situation?
Bhoys there’s links all over Twitter and as far as I know our host asked us not to post links here..

You’re probably right but you never know maybe DD or D O’B will outbid the hun bidders at the last, just to get up Awe Naws nasal passages like :)))

So let me get this right….
SFA rules state that there must be 3 years audited accounts.
SFA now say that transfer of licence from Oldco to Newco allows Newco to retain the accounting history of the Oldco – and therefore qualify for having submitted 3 years audited accounts (well – notwithstanding the fact that Oldco never submitted any last year).
Newco need this history of accounts to get a licence but don’t want to be lumbered with any history of sanctions or penalties associated with Oldco.
A Rock. A Hard Place. And right in the middle – Newco.
HMRC will be watching this closely. If Newco claim Oldco’s accounting submission history then surely they must also be liable for Oldco’s financial history. Ergo – back to square one.
The alternative is Spartans or Edinburgh City.
My money’s on Cowdenbeath.
Check Mate Looms.
Edmund Burke [according to Wiki/EWLM/EWTB] ‘was a freemason’
-we’re going to need more basins ;/)
Twitter has americangoals.com as where to see the game, unfortunatly it’s not on there
Others have said bet365, not there either.
Where is the #9 Enigma?
Still on holiday, recoverin’ from his Euro12 exertions? or washing his lovely hair?

We certainly used to fly the Union Flag over Celtc Park. I’ve looked for it recently but couldn’t spot it. I wondered if a policy change was brought in when the bold Dermot Desmond took over.
I see what Lenny’s doing.
2-3-5. 1888, Celtic Park, Celtic 5-2 Rangers – our first ever game.
Marking new beginnings with a tribute to our unbroken history.
Your game is deep, Lenny.
Aw naw
You are forever calling people who hold a different opinion to you huns, then as night follows day end up insulting.
I’m sure you can see the irony in the fact that your behavior is really the only thing that is Hunnish.
My season ticket is bought for the coming season, and I trust Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell so I too by your thinking am a hun?
#9 Engima is caught on a 33rpm loop on an 1950s turntable to the sound of John Lennon pleading for Lenny to play him, and won’t be released from said turntable til confirmation is received.

DJTREAK ……way back to FF……..it won’t be there long now, anyway
lol
try justintv for size /augsburg
I urge everyone who can to renew their season ticket, buy a new strip, do everything we can and I would urge all other SPL supporters to do the same.
We must show the world that the Hun are not wanted or needed.
As always , we the faithful must play our part, this is what we do.
u got some catchin up to do phil
Did you miss the advice earlier about not posting links?
Twitter links all seem to be duds…
Still searching..

We’ll certainly be seeing a lot less of it this coming season.
Normally just a lurker but had to post to say Awe naw is bang on! Its looking like were in on it. Broken heart if thats the case.
Also love the Exiled Tims posts! Top man. Its as if your posting my thoughts exactly on celtic, dodgy refs etc.
Ah well back to lurking.
Hail hail
This is how a Hun says sorry.
He said at the time his “conduct was not acceptable” and added in his resignation letter: “I regret any harm done to the club I care about deeply. I apologise unreservedly for the offence caused to anyone. I will continue to be the Rangers supporter I am.”
Guess who ?
Where is he now?

Mon the Hoops..
is it being broadcast anywhere
Sabre67- if I was to give credit terms to a new business who were a Phoenix company and used the dubious financial accounts of the liquidated company as justification, I would be picking up my P45 in the morning.
Unbelievable stuff from the SFA if this is true. Quite stunning.
Greetings from a very hot Costa Blanca.

Can’t find it Phil, CH67 have got highlights tomorrow so somebody must be filming it..
Has anyone made an FOI request to Alex Salmonds First Ministers Office
regarding his contacts with HMRC concerning Rangers?
If interested, might be a good time to do so now to keep the pressure on for a release.
You can make a FOI request-
By Email:ceu@scotland.gsi.gov.uk or phone 08457 741 741
Please ensure you provide your name, an address for correspondence (which could be email), and if possible a telephone number.
I suppose the burning question other than what was said is, if Rangers newco are the oldco does that mean the tax payer will get paid back the 50 -100 million Rangers stole from us?
I’m sure the Police, Ambulance, and other creditors would want all monies paid back to them with interest.
Worth a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Hey all you morons who attack the poster rather than the contents of his post deserve to be called huns.
By continually behaving in this manner you only emphasize that fact.
I suggest you stop chasing me. I am a married man for goodness sake.
Stop behaving like huns. Engage what ever brain you may have and deal with the subject matter on hand.
If your lonely … Thats not my problem.
If you are to thick to add to the discussion and your still prattling away on here without addressing the subject then your lonely. Again not my problem.
No retractions or apoligies to CQNers who are too stupid to deal with the facts. You are in the wrong place.
If anybody is upset. Good … That pleases me no end.
I suspect the character assassinations to increase and I am well prepared for it.
Really you need to stop bleating or I will make mince meat. ;-)

I thank you kind sir.

corr. “too thick”.
Don’t shoot the messenger please ! ;)
Trying to find a stream myself but the thing is, to post them on here is to invite trouble for Paul 67.

Or the iPhone
Can’t you deal with the subject matter either ?
