This morning world football has plenty reason to be ashamed of itself. US prosecutors yesterday charged 16 Fifa officials, on top of the 14 charged earlier this year. As well as taking bribes and kick-backs, it is alleged money designated for charitable causes such as the relief of natural disasters, were siphoned off by Fifa executives. In recent years we’ve seen how revenue from charity games have been hijacked by club officials to pay bills, or perhaps fund signing bids for Daniel Cousin.
Tomorrow you are going to see the most Ethical Football Club in the World do its thing. Thousands of you will support the Foundation Christmas Appeal by putting money in buckets as you enter the ground.
That money will do incredible things.
It will support the Scottish Refugee Council, as they aid some of the world’s most vulnerable who have recently arrived in Scotland.
It will support the volunteers who run The Invisibles, who help homeless charities in Glasgow by providing sleeping bags, clothing and toiletries for rough sleepers.
It will support the Glasgow City Mission, in their work with vulnerable adults and families with disadvantaged pre-school children.
It will support the incredible work of the Wayside Club, who provide food, shower, shaving and First Aid facilities to Glasgow’s homeless 365 days a year.
It will support Loaves and Fishes, who open their doors to people who need clothes, toiletries and food.
It will support Glasgow East Women’s Aid, who work with women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse.
And it will support the Salvation Army, who have been a lifeline for countless thousands for longer than Celtic have been in existence.
The bar on ethics in football is not set particularly high, few clubs have a social mission as their core value. None do it like Celtic, the most Ethical Football Club in the World – bar none.
This is the story of football in Scotland 2015, no matter what happens in Switzerland or the Concafa region. You should be proud of your part in this great story. Let’s make it a good one tomorrow – and let people know this is happening tomorrow.

I reckon all that winking has made you lose you marbles as well as going blind.
You can ask all you want, tell you what, read back to what you have posted and it should give you a clue to help you on your way.

Do you believe that Jesus was Resurrected?
Not a hard question to answer m8.
If you don’t believe, I don’t want you using the Bible when it suits you dood.
Aye or Nae.
depressing isn’t it
And now some Rainbow.

I know.
Really Depressing.
I will go when the answer comes.
It isn’t hard to answer.
The deception is dark and DEEP, imo.
I have no problem with anyone who is Atheist.
You all thought I was going to do this.

Now I know you live in a cave but surely even up there you must know that those responsible for sending explosives to Neil Lennon were jailed for five years. Or does that not clime with you own, personal narrative?

Time for beddy byes for me and some others too it would appear.
Petec,
I regard myself as a Christian.
I try and abide by what he reportedly said.
Which was all about love.
We can all take whatever we want from the bible and that includes fear and hate.
Me, I just take the love stuff and that’s what I tried and try to teach my kids.
Nothing in anything is black and white.
There is always another side to everything.

This whole site knows you are Genuine.
God Bless ye, I hope RC become the second force in Scottish Fitba.
When Maccy was linked with Celtic I was over the Moon and really chuffed, he ended up at Reading with Tammy B.
The whole of Dumbarton wanted James to join the Hoops.
This Site is a Ross County Site, not because of JMC but because of you.
Brilliant contributor.

Feck me… the blog is in a sad state.
Haven’t been on for a while and have just read the last two pages, deary me.
What happened guys?
Feckin no marks swanning about dishin the good guys like Auldheid etc etc…
Do us all a favour and get the..
Was looking back to 2012….
Miki67, St John Boyle….great Tims, sadly missed…all on the same wee page. Some people say Celtic are downsizing but CQN has followed suit.
A while back it took Oldtim to post something that struck at the heart of why we support Celtic to put us back on an even keel. This time I ain’t so sure. The negs are winning and CQN is a hard read these datys.
One final point.…Paul67 used to respond to the initial points raised after he put up his latest piece. Haven’t seen that happening for a while which just adds to the disconnect.
Nighty note all good Celtic men and women!
FFS….as they say….
Ah’m alone wi a phone, a relative storm has calmed doon, …it’s quarte tae twa in the morn, ah’ve still got a Quat ae brandy, foun aanither couple a’ fags
Ha, Macjay, keep it. Ah’m happy!
(he lied) –
Na, actually – there is no better place in the world to be than the Highlands of Scotland,
(So long as yer no a lazy bastarg)

Fair point.
I just want the guy to, and he can’t/won’t be Honest.
I know his intelligence is out the Park.
If he doesn’t believe that JC died and was resurrected? just say so…. we are in a World now where there is open 666 betting adverts.
The Truth is Powerful.
So, Once again.
auldheid, do you Believe that Jesus died and was Resurrected?
or do you not Belive that?
Aye or Nae…….

Art of War,
I’ve been commenting here since May 2008.
I read the site from around October 2006.
I don’t think people should make judgements on it.
As a travelling worker without much solace I always found this site a comforting / interesting / annoying / but always enjoyable place to be.
So I Wish all the old boys would come back – and argue a decent argument again.
There is no explanation of the doctrine of the Resurrection anywhere in scripture.it is apocryphal.
As a Greek Jew,Paul would have known that his gentile target audience were familiar with the idea of the offspring of a god and a mortal being raised from the dead to become immortal.
Herakles(Hercules),Dionysus(Bacchus),Castor and Orion were all credited with having done it.
Mithras is my preferred Sun god born on the 25th December,500 years before yer man was a twinkle in his daddy`s eye ;))
