Celtic faced a potentially season-ending run of seven fixtures, six of which were away from home: Stuttgart, Newco, Aberdeen, Newco, Motherwell (home), Dundee United and Dundee. Five are behind us and we remain in the Cup and have become favourites for the title.
One of life’s lessons when going through an endurance is the knowledge that it will end. After visits to Dundee United and Dundee, Celtic have six league games remaining, four of them at home. The payoff of coming through such a test of endurance is a roster stocked with dates at Celtic Park. 60,000 of us will gather on all-but two occasions to inspire the players towards the title.
Celtic are also the only side in the top six who do not face another top six side before the split. St Mirren at home completes our Stage 1 fixtures. Newco have Falkirk away, Hearts have Motherwell at home, while Motherwell also face Hibs and Falkirk.
If we have learned anything from this season, though, it is that we cannot afford a moment of comfort. We have a great opportunity on Sunday. Go to Tannadice, win the points and edge let everyone else know there is a reason we are champions.

Opportunity Knocks
Celtic are set to appoint Heineken’s Paul Mazoyer as their newly created head of business operations.
The Parkhead club appointed recruitment specialists to advertise the role in October in a quest to deliver ‘world class supporter service.’
Formerly head of Customer Care with the brewing giants Mazoyer was recently promoted to a new post as Heineken’s Head of On Trade Operations.
Reporting to Chief Executive Michael Nicholson and Chief Financial Officer Chris McKay the Glasgow University graduate is now expected to take responsibility for improving a raft of supporter services at Parkhead, including retail operations, ticketing, hospitality sales and stadium services.
According to the job ad the successful candidate will also be expected to ‘play a key role in ensuring our supporters are able to share in the success and experience of being part of Celtic through multi-channel engagement across the club.’
Funny how Trump has liifted the ban on Russian Oil, eh, whoda thunk it
The surname Mazoyer is primarily of French origin. It signifies a dweller or worker on a smallholding.
60,000 of us.
Really?
An upcoming weekend of huge variables. Whilst it may not work out this way, I’d expect both Sevco and Hertz to record home wins. But in view of our non-goalscoring strikers, Tannadice won’t be easy. Those 2 win and we draw, we drop to 3rd.
That’s how close it is with no margin for error left, none. No proper strikers is a ludicrous state of affairs, absolutely diabolical.
1 game at a time please,
As long as he ticks the ‘World Class ‘ box……
AJ back in training today
Happy St. John of Parma Day!

Another ex St Als pupil?
I understand some fans doubting the ability of our transferred players to bigger leagues,but the likes of Kuhn,Jota,O Riley,Kyogo,,all performed well for us in Europe.Even Palma.
You get the other side of it,hammer throwers like Ferguson lauded for,well,hammer throwing.
The way we were playing,attack minded, suited these players.O,Riley,for example,watched him regularly with Brighton.I never had a clue what he was supposed to be doing.Totally different tactics.
Sometimes it just fits.
Bada,
The old chestnut,
” Awe FFS,theres two of them”.😣
BSR @ 12:10pm – cheers.
This was news to me.
From what your post says about his background and what the role involves?
Feels like Celtic have gone some way towards that Chief Customer Officer (CCO) aspiration I blithely squawking about on here.
If so, that is a positive for me.
This bit though?
“Reporting to Chief Executive Michael Nicholson and Chief Financial Officer Chris McKay”
I’m not so positive about.
A guy reporting to 2 guys?
That’s bound to work.
And, frankly, part of the reason the football operation and executive functions have been problematic.

Who would win in a fight,between ,Lanarkshire Refs,against St Al’s appointees?.
Jazzy,
Why look at it that way,🤔.What if they both draw,and we win?.
Cheer up man.

That reminded me of the joke about the Irish man who appeared on Mastermind, his specialist subject ‘Irish history, 1916-1922’.
First question, ‘who was leader of the Irish volunteers during the 1916 Uprising?’ Answer, ‘pass’.
Second question, ‘who was the only signatory of the Declaration of Irish Independence who was not shot?’ Answer, ‘pass’.
Third question, ‘who was Military Intelligence leader during the War of Independence?’ Answer, ‘pass’.
Then an audience member stands up and shouts out, ‘that’s right Micheal, tell them nothing!’
Omerta!

Anyway,big chance Calmac fit for Sunday.Boy is unbelievable.With the help of God,and and a good Catholic wind,we could have AJ,Engels,Aurajo,all back for the run in.Just a pity Jota could not be added.

I think there was a story the other day about Aurajo being injured and out for 6-8 weeks, I think The Bada Bing might know more about this.
My suspicion is that MON saw the videos from the aftermath at Ibrox a couple of weeks ago were Aurajo was filmed in the tunnel taunting Huns more or less to “come ahead” and to me, it looks like MON has thrown Aurajo a bone by saying he is injured and gone back down south.
Imho.
You see, when the Huns, the worlds worst animals, have just watched their team being cuffed in penalties at Ibrox with all kicks taken at the Rangers end, and with Huns already invading the pitch at that point as well to attack the uppity Broomloan brigade, and for Aurajo uppity Celtic player that the Huns have grown to hate even more, badgering the Huns fans in the old enclosure to come ahead in the Ibrox tunnel, MON has realized that this player, who is outstanding imho, will just not understand the complexities of the old firm fish bowl and might even be attacked or worse if seen out in public in the West of Scotland.
Just look at what they did to Neil Francis Lennon because he refused to bow to Scotland’s Hun majority.
This, if true, is savvy Stein-esque management by Mr MON.
Imho.
Jim Goodwin is a good mhan as far as I know.
Jim Goodwin Dundee Utd manager, but shows strains of ‘The Celtic Way’ naivety, the only footballing figure in Scottish football who stood out and walked alone during the Covid plandemic and its over played restrictions. JG said: “Asking football fans to effectively ‘show their papers’ to get into a football stadium is way over the top and totally unnecessary.”
Looks like JG does not fall for mainstream media claptrap.
Good for Jim Goodwin.
Imho.
It’ll be interesting if this happens.

Good afternoon all from the Brazen Head. Leggy has gone home on the charabanc for East Kilbride. I may carry on celebrating the Celtic, such is life. 🍺💚

“….The name Mazoyer is primarily of French origin…”
Which will inevitably lead the Celtic Collective to pose the question @ the AGM…..
“What have the Normans ever done for us!!!???”
PasUneCentimeDePlus!CSC
If it wasn’t for KS, we’d have dropped points at both Falkirk and Tynecastle, and our league campaign would already be over.
Short memories some people…
I recall big Efe an AFCON winner making his way back to Glasgow and Lenny confirming that due to the travel etc he widnae be playing, yet on the day of the game he asked big Efe if he was alright tae play, nae bother wee mhan in his Nigerian accent, my heart hit the floor when I saw him starting the game
He had been on an approx 16 hour flight plus layovers, now apart from his 2 mistakes which caused goals plus a missed opportunity he didnae play that bad that night, so who to blame hmmm
Tontime Tim
Was that the Juve game? *shudder*
To be fair big Efe was liable to the odd howler, jetlag or not though having had some brainfarts at work yesterday after flying back I would perhaps think the flights may have played a part in these!
Just watched the MoN presser, as I thought just waffle on injuries.
Is there no end to this folly?

celtic fans collective
What began as a three match ban for the Green Brigade has now stretched beyond five
months. For most of this period, Celtic PLC strongly defended the continuation of the ban. Then, just over a week ago, their position appeared to change. They now claim that they want the Green Brigade to return, but that this is being prevented by the Safety Advisory Group (SAG).
That explanation raises more questions than it answers. Publicly, the club has said that the Green Brigade are simply being asked to follow the same rules as every other supporter. However privately, the conditions being put forward are much more excessive. These include accepting the installation of physical barriers in the standing section despite safety concerns, agreeing to a policing and stewarding plan in advance without prior sight of what that would look like, agreeing not to attend away matches, admission of prior wrongdoing and committing to avoid any form of anti police messaging both inside the stadium or on social media. What makes this harder to accept is that these same commitments were previously sought by Mark Hargreaves during earlier discussions about reintroduction. At a meeting in February, supporters were advised by Chairman Brian Wilson that the biggest issue preventing the return of the Green Brigade was Hargreaves’ problem with some individual members of the group relating to a conversation held at the Celtic PLC AGM. Most recently, the Club’s position has pivoted, and supporters are now told SAG is the main barrier preventing the return to a full capacity.
At recent meetings between SAG and Celtic FC, Hargreaves has acted as the club’s sole representative, and fans are now asked to believe that he is pushing for the Green Brigade’s return. Despite this, requests for minutes from recent meetings, fan representation and even SLO attendance have all been denied, casting serious doubt over the veracity of these claims. Following the recent Glasgow derby, reports have now surfaced suggesting SAG sought to see another supporter section banned, yet their club refused. This demonstrates that the SAG cannot compel Celtic Football Club to ban fans and shut sections, yet our board
tells us otherwise. Celtic fans are being misled by an out of touch board and those within the club who
seem to harness contempt for the Celtic support. With several hugely important matches left at Celtic Park this season, the focus should be on unity. The team needs the full backing of the support to get over the line. It is time for the return of the Green Brigade.

BTW – does anyone have – to hand – a list of Celtic’s annual turnover for, say, the last 10-12 years?
