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.

Of course when other players leave Scotland,it’s a ‘shame the best players have to leave the country’…
Head of facilities at Murray park is a celtic supporter from summerston.
So, Evans will not be joining Oldham.( due sponsor pressure)……correct outcome, since he is not a fit and proper person for children to idolise….an overdue victory for the Rape Crisis Charity, and a message to politicians, to give the Police the funds to tackle this growing abuse in Society….
Geordie Munro. Why should you get pelters thats your opinion about the player which you are entitled to.I dont think he is even in the top 3 Centre Backs that I have seen playing for Celtic but football is all about opinions.H.H.
67,
Actually you forgot to mention the pressure from the loons who issued death threats to people.
Probably in the minority of one but I think VVD would make a far more effective midfielder than Central Defender. While Efe gets peltars from the support, Virgil’s inadequacies as a defender are often overlooked. His size makes him an obvious candidate for CB but his passing ability, quickness of feet and power on the ball is more suited to playing further up the park. 8-10 mil for Virgil as a CB I’d bite your hand off but he could possibly be worth two or three times that figure if moved further forward.
HH!

It’ not just money police require, it’s also a change of attitude in dealing with allegations of rape.

VVD is the only player since Larsson that I’ve thought could go onto play at the very top level.

Wanyama or VVD…Wanyama for me alldaylong ..twice on a Sunday..so anything like £10 mill gets a major YES..from me
Aye, but Wanyama won’t be going for £10m the next time he gets sold, he is worth much more than that, the English market is crazy, anything less than £10m should be an automatic no
Naw, definitely a bhun
