I’ve plenty of sympathy for Niall McGinn for coming under pressure after being spotted at the Kilmarnock-Celtic game on Monday, but not in any way distressed. Players watch former clubs all the time, it’s not even remotely an issue, but Niall is experiencing the cost of playing in a team at the top of the league. Aberdeen fans would neither notice nor care where he was on Monday if they were in their usual mid-table spot.
A taste of internecine strife does more damage than any external party could ever hope to inflict. Glad to hear it’s taken route at our nearest rivals. On a similar note…….
A serious bid to bring newco Rangers to its knees got into full swing yesterday, as thousands of ‘fans’ signed up to spend not a penny more with the club, while mock-Rangers jerseys (should that be mock-mock-Rangers?), sold by fans’ groups, were profiled in the media.
If you know your history, 20 years ago a group of Celtic fans, some working on the frontline, some working behind the scenes, orchestrated the Celts for Change campaign, which ultimately brought regime change at Celtic.
Celts for Change had two fundamental factors in their favour: people with access to the money required to resolve the club’s problems were among them, while those running Celtic did not have access to significant funds, personal or otherwise.
The lessons of Celts for Change is that before you hurt the club you love: make sure you are capable of laying a glove on those you are trying to damage, and when you bring things to a head, ensure you have the money to put things right. In newco’s case this will be many tens of millions.
I backed Celts for Change and I wholeheartedly back those who are trying to bring down newco. Their plans and foresight are exceptional.
Care to guess which Scottish club has been most active in the transfer market this month? Falkirk, who have signed their fifth player. They have won six of their last seven games and are now within a win of getting into a play-off spot. Hot tip for the play-offs: Falkirk, Hibs, Queen of the South and Ross County.
What about Mike Ashley yesterday appointing Duff & Phelps as administrators to one of his companies? Just in case you think he’s not ballsy.

cartoons about religious leaders – ok – freedom of speech etc etc – seems to be consensus
cartoons about zombies – arrested at airport on way back from family holiday
Delaney’s , i was going to say since 1964 but that was not how the question was put to me.
I included the likes of willie fernie, jimmy mcgrory, jimmy quinn, tommy mcinally, patsy gallacher when i initially answered the question but the guy who asked me it, said they hadn’t scored against them at all three grounds which surprised me.
Sleep now getting the better of me , god night all and sleep well.

The Glasgow Bhoys love Belfast. Just off the phone to Petec. He is buzzing. All booked up for Belfast and he just bought the last ticket for Oz Pink Floyd on the Sunday after Mass in Saint Mary’s.
I might make the old Belfast hootenanny myself
When you see the ronny out banners coming up the falls you will know I am near
I don’t think Denayer is good enough for Man City, still young I know, but has nowhere near the physique for the top level IMO.

Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas, tried to find footage on utube of Aiden scoring at ibrox and couldn’t. I’ve no memory of him scoring at mordor and would love to see it again
If you have a link I’d like to see that.

I’ve got an apartment, three bedrooms in Riviera near to Calahonda if you’re looking for a holiday. Cheap for CQN bloggers. Next to great wee resturant / bar and good amenities, pool etc. Get back to me if interested.
Calahonda is not pretty, 1970s Spanglish.

A ceiler and hamilton, chris scored our quickest ever goal v them in eighteen seconds but we lost 3. 2.
Aiden scored a penalty in a 2 1 defeat.
That’s it i’m having a flounce about this question, nae mair trivia fae me, there. (smiley thing)
Ah Suppose a Loata folk,oan hear..
‘
Dinnae agree wi me.. on.. well.Maist things..
Howevahhhhhh..Ah am sure thae in this They wull be .. going quite,, Catatonic ..after
reading THIS..frum Me..
Well, Ah am Agin.. spending big Sums Oan Transfers.. Period,,,
Noo, why did Ah sayThis?
Well..
Simply, because.. A LARGE FEE FUR A Player.. such as The TEN Million which we wid get fur the Virgill Transaction..which a Loata Guys on Here wid Hav us go oot n Spend..
Equates, as Surely as Kojo Luvs his Bacon Eggs..tae a Large n, Cripplin’..weekly Stipend.. ( By Celtic, Standards..Anyway) fur oor Ten Million Capture.
The weekly Salary..fur Good Players ,,is an Added Financial Burden.. which ,like Ah keep oan saying.. tae a Club such as Us..Just disnae Mak a Licka Sense..Financially, speakin.. fur . a Four Year Contract … wi a Ceiling Bustin Salary..is
jis Plain ..Reckless Finance..in Action
Fur.. We are Jist making ends Meet..as it is.
N.. A Large outlay such as Ten Million osn a Single Guy, which is Aboot the going rate
fur a Guaranteed Pro… is Bad Enuff…
But .. The Button Bustin’ weekly wage wid be total Anathema tae oor Present .carefully crafted.. WAGE structure. It wid be Smashed tae Smithereens..
Plus the Fact..
It wid Lead tae …
in this Case..Amongst oor Present Cadre of Players.. a Loat o talk Below Deck..n..even Above.. amongst the
rest of The Dressing Room.
The Ither Inhabitants of those Premises..wid be Envious..
as .. Human Beans..ur very Apt tae be.. tae
Hivin tae Play Alongside a Guy.. who they ..well.. Envy.
Na.. it wid jist be Buying Trouble..in A Very True Sense..
Celtic, don’ Need Nae mair Trouble.. That’s Fur sure.
Na.. Ah prefer,the Shotgun Approach which Celtic ur Following..
Keep firing Peanuts.. at Anonymous. n Unknown Targets..n.. Trying tae Hit Paydirt..
N.. Rightly or Wrongly..
Ah am happy tae..Continue in that like Manner..
Which.. is tae… “Speculate Tae Accumulate”
Surely,we hiv proved that It kin be done?
Wanyama. Forster, The Korean Gentleman.n..noo it looks like..
Virgil.. who wiz wan of the Guy whom we goat fur Peanuts..like the Ithers ,whom Ah
mentioned
Which Convinces me that Mr.Lawwell and Co are oan the Right Road.
Because, .. well… It Has brought in a Loatta Monetary Help ,which has Boosted
the Celtic Treasury..

Shocking, I was at both of those games!!!! Must be getting old :-)
This Belfast hootenanny looks like it could be fun. Wonder if I could get some time off work?
Night all.
The Sutton goal at Ibrox in 2002 – that was the weekend before we had to go to Vigo on our UEFA Cup run.
Looking back at the Seville season and the season after that when we got to the UEFA Quarter Finals beating Barca on the way, it seemed that we had a huge European game either immediately before or immediately after a trip to Ibrox.
All a complete coincidence of course.
