I know we are in the middle of a storm with the prospect of the San Siro, not to mention St Johnstone ahead. I also know the only thing you want to read or write about is how we are going to resolve our problems, but there is more to Celtic than football, specifically the Foundation.
The history poverty is clear, the poor suffer more from an economic crisis than anyone. 2020 has been a terrible year to be poor and many more people are now poor than a year ago. Your Foundation stepped in early in the crisis and continues to work on our behalf. There has been practically no fundraising this year: no badge day, no bucket collection or Ghirls for Good.
The Sleep Out, which takes place each winter, goes ahead on Friday night as Stay Up for the Champions. You can participate from your home, details here. If that is not possible, you can help in other ways here.
We are so much more than just a football club, the Foundation is evidence of that.
We’re launching Celtic: Fifty Flags Plus One, an anthology of how Celtic won each of their league titles today. Starting with our first title in 1893, it details how Willie Maley brought consistent glory, then the sparse successes over four decades before Jock Stein arrived in 1965 and the more contemporary wins since.
It will rekindle memories you had forgotten and give insight into how the leagues were won.

Not so many new posters as there are new blog names.
I can see one or two of them could be on the usual short fuse.
Work it out for yourself.
NOTTHEBUS – I am interested to know if people think Ross would be a good or a poor appointment.
Hope that is okay to ask?
With regards Jack Ross being appointed manager, I really think he needs to win a trophy or two with Hibs first. If he could go on to win the League Cup beating Sevco en route that would be a positive sign.
Jock Stein won the Scottish Cup with Dunfermline, the Summer Cup with Hibs and had had some excellent results against top European teams when we appointed him.
Fergie had ended the ‘Old Firm’ hegemony and won the European Cup Winners Cup before Man Utd appointed him.
I think you’ve got to be a trophy winner with an unfancied team if you are really going to succeed at a top club.

I think Jack Ross would be a good appointment if he is given time to sort out the mess. Which I’m not sure the majority of fans are prepared to give him.

Sevco were not relegated to the 3rd Division, and for that matter, Rangers were not relegated either.
Rangers were liquidated, and a new club called Sevco was formed who started life in the 4th tier of Scottish football in 2012.

Just like Neil Lennon did at Bolton

We attracted Brendan Rodgers . That is the caliber of manager we should be recruiting.
Not someone who was sacked by Hibs

TOSB – Good points though it rules out all possible Scottish replacements including Steve Clarke.
My suspicion is that he will be seen as the best of the cheap options so Lawell would like it if he is told to sack Lenny.
We know the board lack the vision required to actually go out and find an excellent coach who is not in some way just a knee jerk appointment or one of DD’s golfing buddies.
