Scott Allan back, Newco will have a plan!

423

Scott Allan had an enormous August, feted by more than one club before joining the champions, so the emotional crash caused by his subsequent injury must have been significant. It was great to hear him return to action with the youths against Hearts last night. We’re competing in three competitions in the coming weeks, so there should be ample opportunity for Scott to get his feet under the table.

I’m a bit curious at reports Dave King and other Newco majority shareholders have agreed a plan to pay Charlies Green’s legal costs, “should they be ordered to do so by the court”.  Aye, very good.  It’s all a bit of a let down to me, who was hoping to see Dave take on the courts, before coming to an inevitable satisfactory outcome with them.

It puts a hitherto unknown limit on the modesty of Mr King, who has now apparently accepted his authority is below that of the Scottish court system. What we haven’t heard is what that plan is, who is going to stump up the cash, or who is going to make up the trading shortfall for this season.  I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.

With no assets to secure and the prospect of a criminal trial rendering the business unsustainable, further investment at this stage is an act of considerable faith. Such acts do happen, think back to our own John Keane in 1994, who paid £1m to stop the Bank of Scotland putting Celtic into administration. It’s just this kind of act doesn’t seem to happen at Ibrox.  I wonder why?

  1. Bring back Sammi

     

    Bring back ACGR

     

     

    I feel a banner coming on!

     

     

    Jobo – let me save you the trouble…. Dreich!

  2. re. the calls to drop Johansen.

     

     

    fwiw I thought he had a really good game on Sunday, with the huge caveat that the team we were playing were absolute mince.

     

     

    However, it’s pretty galling to see the momentum to have him dropped – he was making the exact same mistakes throughout last season, only it didn’t matter as we had Denayer & Van Dijk to clean up at the back. If SPL games are anything to go by, he need only wait till we’re out of Europe and he’ll be player of the year again.

  3. ACGR that was both the best and worst announced flounce since before Martin O’ Neil. Take a break and come back when your more chilled mate. Not everyone supports the Tic the same way. For some the Celtic Trust is the messiah for others just a naughty boy. The Green brigade the voice of our conscience for others trendy lefties. You’re wrong about TD67 not having a sense of humour mate just not the type that you laugh at. If the blog makes you hate anyone it’s time to have a kit kat wi yer single malt. Luckily for me I still like the good , the bad and the ugly on here, day walkers and moon howlers alike. See you when you gelt back.

    “….it would be no surprise if we lost all 3”.

     

     

    Considering that you’d get odds of about 100/1 at the bookies on that outcome, I think it would.

    Lookimg forward to the game tonight, just hope I can get this paint off my hands.

    The ego takes a bashing —we’ve all had it —not the end of the world …get over it !

  7. My prediction.

     

     

    A disciplined and organised performance will see our hooped heroes winning 3-0 tonight.

  8. Tierney ‘could play for Isle of Man’

     

     

    CELTIC kid Kieran Tierney has revealed he could end up playing for the Isle of Man national team.

     

     

    The Hoops youngster, who recently broke into the Celtic first team, qualifies for the Isle of Man’s representative squad, Ellan Vannin, through being born in Douglas.

     

     

    And despite his Scotland Under-19 caps, Tierney revealed he was asked to join the side for the ConIFA World Cup – a tournament for states, minorities, unaffiliated FIFA regions and stateless peoples.

     

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

     

    Surely Kieran must have Irish roots?

  9. HT I would take any clean sheet and any goals in such an important game but saying that the hoops have some things to prove and would be good to rub Anne budges nose in it.

  10. ACGR is one of the CQN’ers I have met up with on my now increasingly infrequent visits to Glasgow. Took an immediate liking to the guy and am sorry to read that he is quitting the blog. I can only hope that he was tanked up last night and it was the whiskey that was talking.

     

    Take a break pal if you feel you need it but if you are bored and at a loose end any day and feel like talking about the ‘tic, please don’t feel you have painted yourself in a corner and just join in. You have plenty of friends here who would welcome your return.

  11. Oh I say,that was a very robust statement from Dave King yesterday.I defend robustly,his right to be so robust.

    I just have a wee feeling that we’ll have a pretty comfortable evening against agricultural defending. 1-0 would do but I think it’ll be better than that.

    The Isle of Man is Irish.

     

     

    This rock is part of Ireland

     

    For it’s written in folklore

     

    When Finn McCool took a sod of grass

     

    He threw it to the fore

     

    When he tossed a pebble across the sea

     

    Where ever did it fall

     

    For the sod became the Isle of Man

     

    Now the pebble’s called Rockall

  14. HT did you get a ticket ? Will be happy with 1-0 but I think you are right and we will boss them.

    Ye, it’s been a bit of a scramble but we got the 3 we needed.

    “leaving aside last month’s no score draw,”

     

    I don`t think we should `leave that aside`. We actually dominated that game more than we did against Dundee when we beat them 6-0 !

     

    Apart from that,I am in general agreement with your post .

  19. Enjoy the game mate. I see your good lady has been on the turps. The couple who paints together stays together. Mrs T and me spent the long weekend painting the outside of the house. Good thing she likes Green. Hail hail.

    Lol, you can post what ever you want, and say what ever you like as far as I’m concerned it’s your choice.

     

    Not that you’d care but I’m not offended by any of your posts/drunk rants at all, but others may, nothing to do with me, it’s not my blog, and as I’v said, no complaints from me.

     

    Although I’d watch the ones that egg you on and make you out a hero for posting it, there in lies the danger, at least you got it off your chest, and I hope you feel all the better for it, HH

    We badly need a left back in the national team.. I’d have you over Stephen ward and Iv never even met you or saw you play.

    Did you finish that second bottle of Ardbeg last night? Flouncing not allowed. As for whoever reported you; a numbskull, as BT so wisely says. If it is not to your taste;- Just scroll on by. I do it to all of Tony’s stuff, keeps me sane. Anyway, get back here, I miss your whisky advice already!

    No offence intended, but if the bevvy is getting you into strife, then perhaps look into it…just saying. I know a few good folk close to me who have been caught up in it and they make mistakes.

     

     

    All the best

    When the Boss Mhan pulled you up at the game, why didn’t you blame the language violation on predictable sex?
