Scottish Cup has historic importance this season

458
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

After three weeks catching sunrays and getting some recuperation in, Celtic are back in action tomorrow, in the Scottish Cup against Brechin City. The Angus club are enduring a torrid season, bottom of the Championship with four points from 21 games, so I would not expect them to venture too far from their only penalty area tomorrow.

While Brendan Rodgers will take the game seriously, in the bigger picture, it offers a good opportunity to get the legs stretched before the challenges over the next four weeks in the League and Europa League.

With the League Cup already secured and a commanding grip put on the seventh successive league title, Celtic are five cup ties away from an unprecedented second consecutive treble. There will be more financially rewarding games ahead, but our Scottish Cup ties have an historic importance.

    Got to say I did find this interesting, especially when you consider the recent disclosure that both clubs have a common investor and IMO the reasoning behind the rules about share holdings and influence.

    Would you Adam and Eve it!

    When Sevco first offered £600k for Docherty,Hamilton laughed at their derisory offer. Now,the DR is reporting that they are “holding out” for £600k.

     

     

    Tapping-up job done by the MSM.

     

     

    Meantime,they reported imaginary bids from Brighton for Moussa at £18m,well below our valuation. But that’s the figure that other clubs will now have in mind for him.

     

     

    It’s not just Rangers who are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. It’s the SMSM,rotten to the core.

    BMCUW,

     

    Your forgetting the main facilitator fur corruption in the Scottish game, it’s administrators the SFA are the source.

    ” It’s not just Rangers who are a permanent embarrassment and an occasional disgrace. It’s the SMSM,rotten to the core.”

     

     

    I strongly disagree.

     

     

     

    Both are a permanent disgrace :-)

     

    Cheerio for now.

    PS Can I presume there is no danger of the game being postponed?

    Oh,I’ve not forgotten them. They should long ago have stopped this tapping up. It’s blatant,and has been going on for years.

     

     

    And even when the victim stands firm and sells to another club,they can find he had a return fare booked. Gregor Stevens,bought by Jock Wallace,as an example. Gough,another one.

     

     

    That route has long dried up due to the wage disparity,transfer windows,and rules on how many clubs you can represent in one season,so back to Plan A. The blue press.

    BMCUW,

     

    The MSM IMO are a cover for the most likely machinations of this story.

     

     

    Sevco make offer

     

    Hamilton laugh

     

    Hamilton investor threatens to cash out

     

    Hamilton left to consider the implications and weigh up the costs of both scenarios

     

    Lose a good player at undervalue or be put into administration by unhappy investor

  35. Greenpinata on

    Brrrrrrrr it’s Baltic.

     

    Genuine question: how do we know what the SMSM says ?

    Aye,but ye canny misquote Ian Archer. That’s just sacrilege!

    I flick through the DR home page most days. Same wi the Daily Mail.

     

     

    Usually read The Guardian stuff more in depth,and whatever The Telegraph allows me access to nowadays.

    People have a choice in doing any business with the Park’s group for cars, this withdrawal if it is true works both ways.

    Dessybhoy,

     

    The scenario was an educated guess at a possible reason behind the sudden change of mind by Hamilton, if in the ballpark I’d also expect the details of such a scenario would remain secret as there is as much chance of damage to Hamilton as the investor
