Do you like our new lightweight template? There’s a lot less green and tons more whyte. Like it or not, the whyte template will be here for a wee while, so try to enjoy it.
Ticket arrangements for our game at Ibrox next month were always going to be tasty. With rumour that Rangers were heading for administration, Celtic refused to forward their rivals tickets for the game on 28 December on credit, demanding payment in advance. Rangers found the money after a failed appeal to the better nature of the Celtic board. This proved to be a wise move as only a few weeks later Rangers were in administration leaving a trail of unpaid debts to other clubs in their wake, but an awkward situation was likely to follow with Rangers (in administration) looking to reciprocate with payment terms.
Celtic are good for the credit, but if they pay for tickets, what’s the chance Rangers will survive long enough to fulfil the fixture?
None of us are in a position to tell, but Celtic cannot sell tickets to their own supporters in the chance that Rangers will not honour them. If Rangers are still in business, I expect a busy few days leading up to the fixture as cash and tickets are transferred.
And to think we’ve listened to all the ‘Old Firm conspiracy’ theories all these years….. didn’t turn out that way after all.
Really pleased to see STV picked up on our story of last week on the potential improper registration of players and managed to get an anonymous quote from the SFA suggesting “that if conclusive evidence can be produced, the Scottish FA could launch a wider investigation into the conduct of the club”.
“Could”! This story has now been reported by several mainstream media outlets. It looks like the SFA will have to be dragged into examining this by Uefa. Embarrassingly, they are likely to conclude an inquiry into Rangers next week without reference to the 10,000lb gorilla (as No Surrender Johnston would say) in the room.
There are now serious questions of corporate governance at the association, something the chief exec was keen to avoid. If the SFA do initiate an inquiry into the multiple contract allegation, they should start by asking some of the guys who have arrived at Ibrox from continental Europe. I hear Joachim Bjorklund, a decent defender who signed his only Rangers contract in 1996, is still working in the game.

Good luck to big Dan,i thought some of the stick he got was a bit over the top at times.
Glad to see QN back.
Do we still need Link Creator and if so where is it??
Hail Hail
Congrats to all behind the scenes for all the work in putting the blog back together.
Good to be back,did the server explode or did it cause outside influences to explode?
I’ve just read about Big Dan.
I hope the big man makes a speedy recovery. The big guy was an absolute rock when we needed to go on this run to overtake them.
Bourne
Great to see you back, you back on FB
On another note, heard today that Parks of Hamilton haven’t been paid in over a year from the rotten mob, anyone any info?
Lovin the new blog ” the liquidation setup?”
Woo hoo we’re back, good to be back Bhoys and yes you were all missed.
Aaaahh good to have you back Paul67.
Been off work ill since the start of the year, this has been without doubt the longest most boring day yet.
Never mind the painkillers, im addicted to CQN.
Oh and give the huns nothing. No money up front, nothing. If they can’t take care of their own finances, it’s not our fault.
Just in to say , thank you ! Thank God !

Congrats to big Thomas Rogne set to make his Norway debut at Windsor Park. I’m sure he’ll be given a warm welcome. Stay fit big man.
Welcome back. No cqn is worse than being off the drink for lent. Thank you P67 & whoever (Andrew I assume) you got to sort out problem.
Ah we’re back.
How d’you make your name green in this 2001:A Space Odyssey new look?
Celtic contribute to many charities, many WORTHY charities.
RFD (IA) are a self professsed charity, and by no means worthy.
Don’t donate until after 25/03, Mr Lawell.
Thank ghod your back- I thought my employers had found out what I had been spending my time on and had put up some sort of tim filter
A day without CQN,
You don’t what you got till its gone!
There are many like this, but none as good.
Hail hail to CQN

Paul 67
The new lay-out is a magnificent tribute to, ‘our hero’ :¬)))
But, is ‘he’ really ‘our hero’ ?mmm
Anyway, Lennons Lions for the treble!!!
Hail! Hail!
Whats the deal with the reported press conference at Ibrokes?
On twitter that it was set for 5.30pm, or was that just mince?
Is it safe..?
Bourne
Dropped you an email.
Is the corpse still jerking and thrashing waiting for the final big splat?
Rather convenient that the blog went down…
Maist likely,to spare the usual bunch of lefties from another sound thrashing by Awesome Philvis The Conqueror…
Right ?
You betcha,Virginia !
Turn it up tae ’12’……
Fantastic new look page! Looks very swanky on the iPad! I suspect that it will be far more robust in resisting external threats…Thank you again Paul for providing us with this platform to share all things Celtic.
Gutted for big Dan. I’m sure he will be very low about this injury and at his age will be all the more challenging. Hope you recover soon big man!
Has agent Whyte been spotted recently?
Celtic defender Thomas Rogne will win his first cap for Norway against Northern Ireland with Brede Hangeland missing out with a thigh injury.
Rogne had been promised some involvement in the match by coach Egil Olsen and has now been drafted into the starting XI after Fulham centre-half Hangeland dropped out.
easier to read on my nokia e72 also…
Gutted for Big Dan.
What happened to him ?
The monikers are a bit hard to make out. Not immediately clear who exactly is talking Craig Whyte, save for me as I have a wee bird attached.

On that note, there is a rumour going round that they tried to fill up the team bus in Edinburgh after a Hearts game and the card declined.
Deary me.
