Sky announced three consecutive Celtic games will be broadcast live across March and April, one of which is almost certain to be a league-winning occasion. Although Aberdeen could go second by a point if they win their game in hand over Newco, I’m not convinced they have the staying power. McInnes has struggled to replicate the form of last season, perhaps as a consequence of so many of his first team squad out of contract in the summer and looking around for deals.
The first Sky game on the schedule released this morning is the visit of Newco to Celtic Park on Sunday 12 March. Newco have 10 games after this, so should Aberdeen’s challenge drop off, Celtic’s lead would need to be 28 points heading into that game to setup a title decider (loose sense of the word).
We currently have a 19 point lead with a game in hand (against St Johnstone later this month). Win all seven of our league games before 12 March, and we would need Newco to drop six points to allow two Glasgow teams to come together to celebrate the champions on what would be a memorable day for everyone in the city.
Newco have visits to Motherwell, Hearts, Dundee and Inverness before then, as well as home games against Ross County, Hamilton and St Johnstone. Earlier this season they won at Dundee and Inverness, lost at Hearts and drew each of their homes games against Ross County, Hamilton and St Johnstone. They have yet to visit Fir Park on league duty this season.
Although they capitulated last time out against Celtic, Newco played better in December than earlier in the season, so there’s a chance they’ll pick up more at home to Accies, Inverness and County. Their cup and league double-header against Motherwell this month will either take some pressure off, or set them up for a Celtic Park party.
If we don’t win the title that day the roadshow rolls onto Dens Park and then Tynecastle. Newco play a day before us on both occasions, so there’s a chance the title will be won/lost at Ibrox before Celtic play.

Lovely post! It’s also approaching the anniversary of my father’s death in the late ’80’s as well! It made me think.
As for the tribute to Sid, I approve!

As you are too lazy to Google it for yourself, here is the first of many vids of Hillary telling the world she will attack Iran.

I know people can write about anything they want , that some of it is very useful,amusing , reassuring and the scroll past option is always available but a stranger looking at the last couple of pages would be hard pressed to realise this is a Celtic site.
Hail! Hail!

Ernie will either ignore it or come away with crap about it being an old vid, there are quite a few recent ones as well, and not in the context Ernie reckons, she vowed to attack Iran, end of, it’s all about a wee bit of the sea that Iran controls, if the west control it they have total control of the middle east oil and shipping.
As has been said many times, wars makes mega money for a select few and feck the people.

Mate.
As the ” intelligence community ” of the U.S. bristles at doubts expressed about it`s efficiency , who was it who assured us about the existence of WMD`s .
As you say , mega money.
Good Morning Bhoys from a snowy central Scotland. We have just had an update from the surgeon on my wifes Cancer operation hes is going to do the operation in Glasgow and if it is a success she will be in hospital for three weeks.He is going to believe it or not slit her throat in order to get at her tongue from there the tumour is in her tongue he will remove most of her tongue or perhaps all of it it depending what he finds in there he will then take a graft from her wrist area along with a vein and create a new tongue and she will have a traceostimy for a bit ( excuse the spelling ).He will also check the lymph nodesin her neck for cancer.My wife along with other things will have to learn to speak again with the help of a speach therapist the operation is to take place some time in February.We believe God will decide the outcome and would like to thank anyone who has prayed for her and ask you to please continue the prayers. H.H…

Sounds like a major operation, best wishes to your good lady for a full and speedy recovery!
Felicitations to all CQN’ ers with birthdays today
Don’t do social media, LinkedIn is bad enough but liked this from the great Daily Mash about birthdays:
Britons beg to be released from tyranny of Facebook birthdays
MILLIONS are pleading with Facebook to stop making them spend vast amounts of time responding to birthday notifications, it has emerged.
Facebook users are enslaved in a grim daily routine of acknowledging birthdays in case someone thinks they are being slightly unfriendly.
Sales manager Tom Logan said: “I spend hours every week sending matey birthday greetings to ex-colleagues I can barely remember and people who bullied me at school.
“Last night I didn’t have time to play with my young son because I had 15 birthdays to respond to including a guy I had a couple of drinks with at a conference in 2009.
“I don’t want anyone to have an unhappy birthday, I just want my life back.”
Teacher Nikki Hollis said: “I used to think birthday reminders were nice, but I get so many I’ve started wishing some of my friends would die to reduce my birthday workload.
“I’m sure they could replicate Facebook birthdays automatically with an algorithm that sends a really bland message like ‘Hope you have a good one! x’.”
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said: “I have 311,453,906 Facebook friends so I hate birthdays more than you can imagine, but we still have to make you look at our adverts.”
Damn near dark in Troon, grey leaden skies and sleeting at the minute
Joe, thoughts and prayers to you and your better half. Do tell her that many, many people are thinking of her.
Your description of what the surgeon intends doing is is as detailed as it is awesome. As a fairly recent recipient of tremendous care at the surgical end of the NHS, and who is still ‘enjoying’ the aftercare, I hope you can put your trust in the surgeon and that that trust is rewarded. My blood boils watching the piece by piece dismantling of the NHS south of the border and pray to God that it doesn’t happen up here.
Again best wishes to you and your wife.
JFH
Prayers said Sir
Kitalba
For you too you incorrigible Tim you.

Sadly I feel the same. My love for Celtic was born out of two things. A club open to all, founded to support the underdog. The rise of xenophobia and far right politics is a worldwide phenomenon. sad to see it being given succour among Timdom.

Trump has said he would attack Iran
Michael Flynn has said he would attack Iran
James Mattis has said he would attack Iran .
Maybe they didn’t mean it , maybe they were just peddling bullshit to those with a predisposition for eating bullshit . . …

That’s a very short interview.
And very odd.
What’s odd about it is that it doesn’t start with the interviewer asking a question, but with the interviewer making a statement.
I assume that the statement is in response to a question.
What was the question?
And why is it not included in the clip?
Is it possible that the question was ‘What would you do if you were president and Iran threatened the US with a nuclear strike?’
new article posted.
‘the interviewer making a statement.’
Should be ‘the interviewee making a statement’.
Winter shutdown is bad enough but when it coincides with a presidetial inaugaration its bloody murder. Need to contact the SPFL to continue every 4th year.
Happy birthday to Cosy Corner Boy and young ACGR
If driving I would check M74 as reports on Radio this morning had a lot
of issues about LArkhall (road issues snow related)
