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.

We have lost an inspirational Bhoy today. He will take his seat in Paradise with seats for every match just like the many kids that have been helped through the Kano charity.
Thoughts and best wishes to all his family.
Kano remains an inspiration.

Condolences to Carolyn, Sean, Alanna and all the family and friends of Martin. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today and will be over the coming days, weeks and months.
We lost you to the blog 5 years ago when you first fell ill and I’m sure although difficult for you all the interim time at has been you will have appreciated being able to spend that time at home to take pride in watching your family grow up.
Your”s is a sad loss to the CQN and the Celtic family and it is little conciliation at this time but your legacy will live for years to come in the Kano Foundation. Your illness brought out the good in so many and that goodwill and kindness of heart has continued grow and stretch to help so many more since.
May that continue and grow in your name.
God rest your soul buddy.
RIP Kano. Sleep well.
Hail! Hail!

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord.

It’s taking too long. I want it all over and done with before Feb 1st. I do not want that game to take place.

Absolutely ….!!
Didn’t feel it appropriate to tip horses on the new thread. For anyone interested Paddy the deejay should run very well at Huntingdon today. Going well at home, big run expected, but it is his english debut. Worth a bet though.
