I try to avoid those who really should be avoided but I caught the report of Peter Lawwell’s Sky TV interview on their website yesterday. The “No summer sales” headline was misleading in itself as our chief exec actually said “there is no real necessity to sell players now”.
We are a solvent and well-run football club, there is no real, or imagined, necessity to sell, but there is an enormous leap between this status and “no summer sales”. All clubs, not just Celtic, sell when an offer exceeds their valuation for a player and they believe the money could be more productively redeployed elsewhere. There is no necessity for Manchester City to sell players, not until the oil runs out in the Middle East, anyway, but they may still sell.
Best part of the article was from Charlie Nicholas, “I’m a bitter idiot. Listen, I’ll prove it…..”
I’ve translated that quote from the vernacular.
Loved newco Rangers accounts. £3.5m in the bank on 31 December, £1.5m loan since, so they have £5m to operate until the season ticket money comes in, which will just be enough, but cash burn is running at over £1m per month; close to £15m a year.
£30m-£50m is not enough.

Sorry for interrupting your participation in the quiz but I have been asked by my mate to pass on his father’s (Neilly Wylie – fae Maryhill ) thanks for the ticket outside Firhill on Wednesday night.
His father says you are a real gent .
I seen your post after the game and texted him to let him know , hence the request to pass on Neilly’s thanks .
remember you used to get scores after each round

Fair point
I think rising above it but never giving into it works
These people are puppets and muppets. Look at traynor ….
We should have got del piero last year and did not. We need to avoid the same mistake again.
garcia lorca/macjay,
I’m looking fwd to reading the upcoming Tommy Gemmell’s book. if only to hear more about the Leeds game and then the Feyenoord final.
Was about to say I was too young to remember it, but in being honest I wasnt born for another 6 months!
All accounts seem to suggest that for once the Big Man underestimated an opponent and we got hustled because of it.
I was on a flight a couple years ago from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur. was with KLM and the old guy sitting next to me was Dutch. Suffice to say that over a couple heineken we got blethering and he is a big feyenoord fan who was in Milan in 70.
he was very effusive in his pariase of Celtic – Bobby Murdoch in particular – and our support. was very impressed to the point he has always followed our fortunes since.
In fact the night of us beating Barca, he text me to wish us congratulations.
Still reckoned that on our best day we would probably have beat them! I said I couldnt disagree… :-)
HAIL! HAIL!
