Having disposed of Raith Rovers last night, Celtic have two huge away games, against top of the table Motherwell before a trip to Moscow for a Champions League match against Spartak in six days.
Tonight Spartak play just a few miles from the Ukraine border and have a journey of close to 1000 miles on Saturday. It is little wonder they, like Celtic, are looking for ways to improve their injury record.
Celtic will travel to Moscow only a few hours after Spartak leave the city of Perm to journey home. On Tuesday we will be the fresher team. Could this be the game we break our duck away from home in the Champions League? If we get it right on the park it will be.
I didn’t read the (incredible) statement by Charles Green until late last night, when I caught it via the excellent analysis by Paul McConville on his Random Thoughts blog. Mr Green, Paul concludes, is “Either… stupid, which he is not, or he has decided to continue to appeal to his core support”.
There is a third alternative. Last season we watched Craig Whyte, then Duff and Phelps, embark on a series of unfathomable actions. Neither party was stupid, nor were their actions necessarily guided by anything as a coordinated appeal; they were simply being buffeted along by circumstances. No one was in control, had the experience necessary or was party to a deliverable Grand Plan, resulting in a series of random utterances.

If we were to draw them at home in the next round, would PL give them tickets knowing he’s still owed 40k for toilet vandalisation during their last game v Celtic as Oldco at CP?
Will Green say different club different fans so come across with the tickets?

here’s another one of those maths questions :
whats 25 x £0.00?

Can anyone explain why we need to know the answer to that conundrum? And why do 1st years?

Because it passed a wee bit of the afternoon and it’s too early for the Poppy Debate!:>)

The problem is that there would be many thousands of Tims wanting to see them get humped.
If we do draw them, the best scenario would be a game at the bigot dome, with very few of us turning up and they would have to give us most of the cash their support dished out.
I would rather they just did what they are famed for, the dignity thing, and went off to dignitas.

I wasn’t going to watch, but then I missed most of last weeks comedy show, watch some of extra time ans saw the pens, so I don’t know if I can take the chance of missing out on the fun again.

Unfortunately it would show that our fans do in fact care about them and this would be protrayed as us needing them.
Ideally yes it would be held at Ibrox with Celtic supporters not bothering going and we still get half of the gate receipts.
Mort
@BillyBlack1912: If everyone can get down to the ticket office they are giving out free tickets for tonight’s game. Not too happy as I already paid.
An orc in work told me the huns tickets were free to anyone who buys the program for £14 or £15 so they dont need to share the gate money with Motherwell… still no shame!
Pedro
“whats 25 x £0.00?”
The cost to Lloyds Bank of 25 protesting Huns closing their accounts?
I wouldn’t rule out us being drawn against them at some point >:(
We did play them 7 times in a very recent season, which also just happened to be one of their most cash-strapped.
Perhaps the concern about extremist zombie rioting might lead to an opposite fix this year mind you!
Stupid huns, so much for renaming the training park and erasing his history from the club. lol!
CHARLES GREEN has struck a deal to purchase Edmiston House after a meeting with Sir David Murray in Edinburgh yesterday when the former owner also pledged his support in the fight with the authorities over the use of EBTs.
Speaking exclusively to RangersTV, the chief executive revealed that the two men had met for the first time and that the former owner was a very good source of information.
Edmiston House is situated behind the Copland Road stand and offers three floors of office space and was previously owned and used by Murray’s Response Handling company.
It was previously a venue for the Ticket Centre and the Rangers Social Club.
Green told RangersTV: “I met Sir David for the first time yesterday. Indeed I hadn’t even spoken with him before.
“We had a good chat and we talked about a number of subjects.
“Sir David is really keen to help the club. I welcome that and I appreciate the time we spent together.
“He has some clear views in terms of EBTs and there is no-one knows better than Sir David about that and he is prepared to do whatever is required to set the record straight.
“From a tangible point of view one of the things we went to discuss was trying to acquire Edmiston House because that would be very important to my plans.
“I think we have agreed in principle a deal on that. So he has helped the club by coming to an acceptable deal on that and that is very much appreciated.
“We have some plans for the property and these will be unveiled in the future.”
“I am looking forward to seeing him and meeting with him again because he has a wealth of knowledge of Rangers Football Club. He was very important to this club over the last 20 years.”
Murray, of course, has been under fire from fans for transferring ownership to Craig Whyte last May which, in turn, led to the horrendous turmoil of the last six months due to Whyte’s refusal to hand over PAYE, NIC and VAT payments to HMRC.
Green said: “He did sell the club to Craig Whyte and that’s history now. Sir David wouldn’t have been the first person that made a mistake with Mr Whyte but we all have to move on.
“Whilst there may be some fans who are unhappy with Sir David there were lots of fans who were unhappy with Charles Green and I would like to think we have forward on that as well.”
TET
If we draw them in any cup competition over the next few years there will be such a clamour for tickets it will resemble a bridie munching comp at Fat Ally’s!!

Didn’t Agent Green make a recent statement proudly boasting that they wouldn’t use this underhand tactic cos they are such dignified peepil – well, not against their wee mullet-heided pals at Murderwell.

Yes, 301 is apparently the lowest number, but 721 also fits.
There are probably others, but I’m due my medication and a wee lie down.

CG did make such a statement but he forgot to mention that that is not allowed anyway. Then again…..
Fortunes Favour Mibbes
I heard that too but not according to guy that told me. He thinks it’s brilliant but that’s just that lot to a t. Wouldn’t believe a word chuckles green says either
Hamiltontim
Aye, sad but true.
And you can bet your life the tickets will be OF prices.
Anyone have any highlights of last nights game????
HH
Big Pierres 2 front teeth
That’s a myth. free tickets only announced today and with programmes available tonight, the sellers aren’t going to check everyones tickets to see what price to charge.
And in any case, it would have to be a honour system. Who’s going to say ok, i’ll take a free ticket and I promise to buy a programme.
Unworkable but nice thought from the huns.
Mort
ibleedgreenandwhite1
They are on the Kirki Emerald site
I cannot wait for the day the stupid huns realise they have been sold a dummy for a Third time.
Chuck seems to be in an awful hurry to get any outstanding business done. I assume he knows what is coming over the hill…
Let’s hope the Motherwell bean counters are checking tonight’s attendance and sends a bill to Rangers for half of the total attendance x ticket price.
If they receive less, then complain to SFL/SFA etc.
Mort
Sir Minty/Chuckie Green/Property – when I hear these three phrases in the one press release, my hackles are raised, my spidey senses tingle, and I smell skullduggery.
JJ/ Big Pierre
That’s right, I remember now. It’s not allowed. In which case, I suspect what Big Pierre has heard will be true. I also expect the Mullet is preparing a speech of congratulations for such spirited entrepreneurialism: “Hah, well done, Chico. You stiffed us good and proper there. Good one.” [slaps back and hugs]
A visit to Mulletwell would not have been my ideal choice before travelling to Moscow for a crucial CL game. No doubt the Mullet in chief will tell his mulleted mutilaters to save their energy tonight so that they can kick seven bells out of us on Saturday under the approving gaze of MIB Collum. I’ll be amazed if all our key players come through it uninjured.

Don’t tell McCoist, Ally McCoist, I just don’t think he’ll understand.
Cos if you tell McCoist, Ally McCoist, he’ll eat yer bloomin’ bridie and yer hand!!!
There is (no if buts or mibbies) a minimum ticket price for tonights game. If they try anything dodgy Motherwell & the SFL will be all over them for cash.
Mort

Fair enough mate, you’re probably right cos that guy isn’t the brightest and all that lot don’t seem to grasp reality and make up what5 suits them if they think they’re shoving it up everyone else! He was making out they had bought the programmes already from the shop to get the free ticket.
anyway, I dont care about playing them in any of the cups… just want them to get pumped tonight and in every game they play
Is the hun game a 7:15 kick off tonight?

“It has not been easy because I had a short time to adapt to being in the team. There has been no time to train with the team properly.
“But the feeling I have with them is amazing because they helped me to settle down very fast and so there was no problem.
“It is like a home for me. We are like family here. It is one of the biggest clubs in the world and the history behind this club is great.
“Coming here to be part of that history, to be able to achieve what the club wants to achieve, that means we need trophies and go as far as we can in the Champions League.
“It is a good place to play football and make myself a better player.”
Ambrose, who won an Olympic silver medal for Nigeria in 2008, admits he was impressed with Gary Hooper whose four-goal performance had Lennon claiming his striker “is good enough to play for England”.
Ambrose said: “He is a helluva striker. That was the first time I played with him for 90 minutes and I saw the kind of movements he made, it was amazing.
“He is one of the best I have seen so far.”
We have to keep our feet firmly on the ground last night we disposed of Raith Rovers which at home we should expect.However,we failed to keep a clean sheet and next week in Russia we will face a team who are certainly Worlds apart from the Rovers.It was nice to see Hooper scoreing four goals and Effe making a fine full game debut but the Champions League will sort the men out from the boys.We have a fine squad of promising young players and Lennie is doing a great job but they need time to gain more experience we need to support the team through thick and thin and last nights crowd or should I say lack of a crowd was a let down in order to keep our promising youngsters we need full houses to bring in the required income.So well done to the hoops for progressing in the league cup but there is much harder opposition in front of us.H.H.
