They can call themselves whatever insolvency practitioners allow them to be called, but even the court assertion, that Charles Green bought a Basket of Assets, not a football club, seems overly optimistic. That lot look more like a Basket of Liabilities than assets.
I told you Joey Barton was a good Celtic man, there to take their money, and self-respect. Their big former Arsenal centre half is four years younger than our big former Arsenal centre half, but good grief! You could forgive him for being short of pace, but acting like an immature simpleton is unforgivable.
Moussa Dembele’s Perfect Hat-trick (one with the head, one with the right, one with the left), was a charm. We watched Henrik give us so much, he deserved to score a hat-trick against Oldco Rangers, but the history book was closed on that one with Harry Hood’s in the League Cup in 43 years ago.
I have witnesses to saying “We’ll have to settle for five instead of seven”, when hearing Leigh Griffiths would miss out today. Dembele (20), put in a performance which defied his inexperience. He looked like the £20m player some think we’ve signed. What’s more, he’ll continue to improve.
Tom Rogic had clearly been identified as our most dangerous creative player. He was hacked throughout, before retiring early in the second half. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton were also on top of their game, controlling the crucial central area.
Both full backs, Mikael Lustig and Kieran Tierney, got assists, as they created width to allow the central players to do their stuff.
Brendan Rodgers will hopefully highlight that the only two attempts on goal we conceded came a moment after we scored, near the end of each half. Teams notoriously lose concentration after scoring.
I’m off to find out who their no. 4 was. I’ve him down for two assists on his own. Liabilities, to a man – the keeper apart, who did well.

Not often I agree with Tom English but he is right this time IMO.
As I have been saying for weeks just because they call themselves Rangers doesn’t make them our rivals.
They have done nothing to merit being our rivals.
They are desperate to re ignite the old firm tag as it is the only thing that gives them any credence.
They are not in our league.
Excellent result yesterday, almost as good as our first three league results against our nearest rivals in Scotland.

Have spent a large part of the morning watching the highlights, and goals, from yesterday.
Marvellous viewing!
Off oot for a paddle soon!
Scorchio!

Spotted this on a chat forum. This deserves sharing…….
hope it’s the first of many Moussa,crash bang wallop no that was the toilets but you flushed them out and sent them back to the shieldhall sewage works were most of the sewer rats belong.Sincerely hope the vandalism caused is shown world wide now we know how the cities of Manchester,newcastle,leeds,wolverhampton,chesterfield,blackpool,sunderland,to mention but a few felt.But the old war cry will come out we felt intimidated and thought they were going to attack our players the crap ones that is and there were plenty on display,and they stole all the toilet paper to boot must have been to wipe their aaaaaa eyes yes five times that would be,well roll on new years eve when our fans visit for another victory they might wreck their already crumbling stadium with a bit of luck.tood a loo?
When Enron Warburton gets the Spanish archer in the fothcoming months Sevco will be looking for manager number three.I hope Gough gets it.
Richard the turd. ;))
So the filth that sing about child abuse, the slaughter of Catholics, mock dead children, rampage through towns & cities (& toilets) & send bullets & bombs in the post to Celtic staff when their weaknesses are exposed have become incensed at the sight of a few blow dolls draped in Zombie Scarfs, claiming Celtic fans are mocking Suicide.
Those dummies don’t have know how to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

I can assure you yesterday’s victory is just as good as any victory I experienced over the tax evaders, apologies again if some don’t feel the same way .
—————————-
Absolutely agree. In some ways, yesterdays result was even better. They now know, although they will probably not admit it, that we are light years ahead of them. Strip away the hype and the media, and what is left is just a shambles from top to bottom.
I will not get into a debate on whether they should even exist, or we should be playing them. That is a different conversation.
For now I relish the fact that we have sent a message out that states that they are seriously deluded if they think they can compete with us.
We had a job to do yesterday which we did professionally. I am delighted.
Although we only obtained three points, this game was about much more than that. We sent out an unequivocal statement of status.
HH.
Just burst out laughin again at beach ball head Lustig
You only clown around like this if you KNOW u are way better than the opposition. Lustig knew the result was never in doubt
This is a player who was totally relaxed and enjoying the game
Brilliant
Brillant result , still think we could have upped it a gear or 2 which is scary for the Huns.. Griffiths on the bench aswel.
Would love to have seen us bring on someone like Calvin miller .
Big game now on Tuesday , good performance hopefully to give the bhoys confidence for rest of games.
Has Warby congratulated Hibs yet? He may get a move on there is a bit of a backlog building up of teams he has to congratulate. You almost get the impression he is an ignoramus and sore loser but I’m sure it’s all done in a very respectful way as befitting Dignity FC
Still smiling after a great day at CP yesterday.
I read this morning that Warbo doesn’t see a gap between the squads. So I tried to find a word that he might understand and found chasm. It has a few meanings.
One is gap. There is a chasm between Celtic and The Rangers.
Another meaning is a marked interruption of continuity. There is a chasm between Rangers and The Rangers.
Do you get it now Mark?
A big BIG thankyou to 67 Heaven for his donation to my charity sleep out fund – you are some mhan yourself.
Thanks too to everyone else has donated.
Becoming homeless or having no permanent home of your own is on the rie in this so called modern western and civilised democracy. Shelter’s figures are illuminating and worrrying and they predict that the level of true homelessness will rise in 2017.
Way back in the 60’s questions started to be asked when the BBC screened a play called Cathy Come Home which tweaked the TV watching populations conscience about just how many people were homeless and how such a thing could happen so easily.
Yet it took until 1977 (roughly 13 years) for the Government to introduce The Housing (homeless persons) Act and even this was a pretty spectacular failure in terms of finding real solutions. But it was a start.
Today, there is no sign of Government moving any quicker or with any greater urgency or insight than back in the 1960’s or 70’s. Having no permanent home is becoming more and more common but no one wants to admit too loudly to such a society failure and such an ongoing failing.
In the interim, people so afflicted have to rely on charity (something in itself which is wholly wrong in this country) and at times charities such as the Celtic Charity Foundation have to rely on bozos like me.
I can’t run, climb, cycle or do many of the physical things others do to raise funds (knee operation in a couple of weeks and sciatica which is a real pain in the arse) but I can sleep out in the elements for one night knowing that I will return home (my own home) to a warm bed and all the comforts that my own home brings.
I will not pretend that last year’s sleepout was not good fun. It was great craic and many a laugh but it is an endurance event where you are either sleep deprived and any lying down has to be done on the concrete floor at Celtic Park.
It poured with rain, and while we were under the shelter of the South stand, quite a few participants complained of being cold and uncomfortable.
But it was only one night.
Others are not so lucky. They have much worse to endure with no home to go to, face the same misery every night, are often in danger of assault or worse and lack confidence and belief in their place in society.
Many homeless people talk about going through each day without having a single person say a solitary word to them — kind word or otherwise.
So, if you feel like sponsoring me or HT or Mynx or anyone else you know who is doing the sleepout then please take the time to contribute.
No contribution is too small or too great and it really will make a difference to someone this winter.
Hopefully it will be clear to all that this is a cause that is dear to my heart.
I have known various people who have been homeless at various times in their life either through addiction, ill health or some other cause. I can think of one chap I knew who used to sleep rough for reasons I won’t go into and who now holds a very senior management position in a bank and has done for a number of years.
His life turned around but someone had to give him a helping hand and persuade him that there was a way forward which did not mean sleeping in doorways and locking himself out of a normal life.
He now has his own home but at one time he thought that would never happen.
If you can, please help.

They are IRA loving scum. As for the toilet incident, They have trashed our stadium for years and we’ve just got on with it. The toilets looked in need of updating. (I might put a price in)

Think back to January and McLaughlin of the BBC Scotland sports correspondent not at the Arbroath game but watching Man City on sky , this after his nitpicking and highlighting apparent poor song choices from Rangers fan’s at our 6 – 2 demolition of Hibernian .
Now think back to the Scottish cup final and despite Hibernian fans assaulting Rangers players and causing severe damage to Hampden , the stadium and assault were soon not the story it was the big bad Rangers song book ! The Hibs fans were apparently just exuberant ?
McLaughlin was at yesterdays game but not apparently watching events or listening to the crowd , as we had sectarian singing , sectarian banners and pro terrorist banners all on view from the home team support , worse of all on national suicide day and days after the tragedy the befell a former Ranger , we had dummy’s hanging by the neck on national suicide day of all days ! We could go back even further with the BBC and we had mad men montage of our former manager !
If Rangers fans and groups have not learnt the hypocritical nature of Scotland’s media and it’s government by now then we are lost , not one Rangers man from the club or support should be speaking to any media group that is biased against the club or it’s support and we know who they are the Record , The Sun , the BBC etc . All we ask is parity as we surely don’t live in a country were one mans exuberance is another mans wilful destruction or one mans song book is political and the others is sectarian !
Oh wait maybe we do live in that type of country !
What a lovely bunch of people.
Got on a flight to Bangkok yesterday and have just caught yesterday s result. Well done the bhoys on three points.
Moussa hattrick … way to go for the young fella before Barca
I will be on the blog at strange times for the next month

Usually BR is quite reserved in his celebrations but his MONesque celebration yesterday said everything for me, by the way the team we faced yesterday probably that type of game makes us a more attractive proposition to players to join us, I don’t feel comfortable with the hatred but am afraid like all walks of life you play the cards you are dealt with, watching BR yesterday again, that game would be as much of a carrot as the CL whether me, or anybody else likes it or not
Would you actually believe that RM is a Moderated site?
Anything being said about the utterly despicable act of cheating you will ever see? Garner’s feigning collapse as if he’d been assaulted from behind? The ref didn’t see it, but it is well caught on camera. Should this just be ignored?
HJ 10.47am
Not unnoticed by everybody, my mate said straight away “remember Lubo’s goal against the Huns, that’s identical”
Harry Boe.
It’s even better than that. He says he’s looking at both squads and thinking that he wouldn’t change his. He also says they were still in it at 3.1 and 4.1.
Now that is seriously delusional.
He is actually suggesting he wouldn’t take any of our players.
That is music to my ears, because if he truly believes that then they will never improve when he is the manager.
“Blind mole rats appear eyeless and earless, as the functioning remnants of these structures are covered by fur and are therefore not visible. The tiny eyes are hidden beneath the skin, and the external ears are reduced to slight folds. Sensory bristles extending rearward from the flattened, padded nose toward the eyes give the head a keeled, wedgelike shape. Like the eyes and ears, the animal’s minute stub of a tail is not visible externally.”
Rings a bell. ;))

Thomthethim 10.35am
Tom Rogic got booted lumps out of in the 1st half (mainly by Krancjar) I think BR asked him to give it 10mins but if not 100% he was getting subbed, think it was around 53mins….just guessing right enough
the hordes are showing a pic going around of blow up dolls with rangers scarves being hung from the upper teirs at yesterday’s game is it a fake picture?
Mark Warburton’s not magic
He’s lost his magic hat
Moussa Dembele stole it
And gave the Huns a smack
I see Barca lost yesterday ?
Wao ……. did they rest players ?
If so a good sign
HH
AWE NAW………………..
Messi and a couple of others were rested………….but came on at 1-2 and couldn’t change the result.
Jimmynotpaul
Yep it’s hard to believe that Warbo wouldn’t swop any of his players for ours. The only RIFC player I would give pass marks to yesterday was Windass but he still wouldn’t get in our first team.
Couldn’t celebrate last night as I was driving at 6am this morning to take Mrs.HB and three of her pals into the City Centre. They are taking part in the Glasgow-Edinburgh cycle.
Heading out now for a wee afternoon swally. Happy days.
finally caught up on whole game, highlights and after match.
special mention for wee gordon s, post match analysis all done like a celtic supporter.

The 3 guys you were with yesterday did they mention what pub the minibus left from ?
If it was the Fountain bar which stopped a few years ago was the bus me & the nephew went on, if you know what the pub was called there is a good chance I will know who you were with
Hendrix67
I have seen the pictures. They were certainlt not above the GB Curve – all in that section wore Green, White or Orange bibs and it does not look to be from the other end as the sun was shining on that part of the ground. Having actually been at the game I think they I would have spotted such things or at least heard of them in the pub afterwards. I do have a vague memory of something like this happening years ago though – as with the toilet vandalism I think this is old footage.

You are in a bad way if you think the same as me :-)
At halftime we were talking and everybody thought TR was our best player in the 1st half, love the way he holds the ball and invites the opposition to foul him……priceless for the team
Don’t know what’s happened to Warburton. He was a reasonable guy at Brentford – but I have long thought that there was something more than coincidence about the signing of Lewis MacLeod, Warbo being ‘mutually concsented’ a few weeks later – and then being named Hun manager months later. All very fishy – and nobody down here could fathom why he was leaving a successful side that he was in the process of leading to the EPL play offs.
Incidentally – a fairly unpalatable fact for any lurking Huns (although I suspect they are few and far between today) – is that Brentfod had a far superior squad of players to the current dross at Ibrox.
…and Celtic under Brendan are light years ahead of the likes of Brentford.
No sign of the great Desmondo yesterday.
Probably on a golf course somewhere.
HH!!

The hanging blow up dolls were at the other side of the North Stand from the GB. I’m in section 102 and saw it very clearly.
Must admit I thought it was in very poor taste and not something I like seeing from our fans.
Off oot now.

Have that mob we faced yesterday not played Burnley every preseason since its inception ?
I could be wrong but maybe Charlie Green & his “investors” had an agreement, could be onerous preseason friendly :-)

The Great Desmondo arrived in a chauffeur-driven Jag about 30 minutes before kick off.
He stopped at the gazebo to ask Bournesouprecipe if this was a ‘real Old Firm’.
