In the eight years Newco have been a topflight club, James Tavernier has lost more league games against Celtic than any player who has played for either of the Rangerses since they first faced Celtic in league action in 1892.
The fullback has tasted league defeat 15 times against Celtic, one more than previous record loser and Oldco captain, John Greig – who had the misfortune of playing against the Lisbon Lions.
Tavernier is also the Record League Loser for Rangerses players at Celtic Park, walking off the field “disappointed” nine times. This is one more than the previous Loser at Celtic Park, Allan McGregor, who experienced eight league defeats in appearances for Oldco and Newco.
Since Tavernier’s first visit to Celtic Park in 2016 (a 5-1 hammering), he has won twice, although only once in front of fans, a 1-2 win during one of Celtic’s Quadruple Treble seasons.
These games are emotionally draining for fans never mind players. Coping with being a “disappointed” loser so often cannot be easy, the poor guy will be susceptible to PTSD unless he embraces his role as the Record Loser.
If Tavernier reclaims the words “Record Loser”, he will turn them from a charged term into a badge of honour, showing what he has come through. Not all warriors win and there is no shame in that. Tavernier suffered for his craft, his Loser wounds are his real trophies.
Although the Newco captain is now 32, he is not finished chasing records! In games across all competitions at Celtic Park, Ibrox and Hampden, he has lost a total of 19 games to Celtic.
John Greig remains the Outstanding Rangerses Loser to Celtic, having suffered a total of 24 defeats for Oldco. Tavernier could narrow that gap to just three defeats before this month is out, setting himself up to take the all competitions record next season! Keep chasing that dream, James!

Just yesterday, the Portuguese FA sent a message to any Celtic fans planning to visit Lisbon shortly.
They said: [@CelticFCSLO on X] “We would like you to inform Celtic FC fans that our National Stadium (Jamor) will not be receiving visits on May 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th, June 7th to 10th, because of the National Cup Final and National team match against Croatia.”

I remember the day well,boiling hot,the huns were on the slide,it was a particularly forgettable game.George McCluskeys goal meant the Celtic end dust arose.
Seen the onfield chases develop,but the amount of bevvy in the ground was mental,went for tea in Aunts in Govanhill as runnin battles goin on cathcart rd,calder st and vicky rd,lot of angry huns maurauding around,casualty at Vicki hosp had polis seperatin fightin there
Met George at Greenock few months back jokingly scunnered at not gettin lap of honour as riot developed,still a great win and cup victory for the Celts💚

Morning from a very sunny Trossachs, One of my neighbours on my caravan site is a Psychiatric nurse and let her view SS comments particularly the one about fixing marriages and social events around a football season. Her comment was “there is treatment available for OCD” !
No hubris
No more focus on them,you too Paul67,a wee blog on our strengths wouldnt be amiss.
Not any more or less confident going into this game,a settled will on the work to do to gain the victory,i am sure Brendan will have our men focussed,in a way it must be easy as the amount of crap written and said on media is easy to cut out and ignore so our srarting 11 can focus on the work to do to get our victory,i have confidence in our team
Hail Hail
A lovely day in old Glasgow Town. Time for a leisurely stroll to inspect my estate and see how the livestock are faring. It’s a hard life.
TONTINETIM ,Explain to me what you don’t like about my post ,and that other,same to you TURKEYBHOY,
Great staunchness being spewed out by the Daily Rag today.Wee Bazza refusing to apologise for wanting Calmac taken out,and then going into a spiel about how staunch he always was going to play at Celtic Park.All that was missing was background music from the Larkhall Defenders Flute Band.

Is the DR off the banned list for the rest of us or are you the only one on here permitted to read it and post about it?
Goldson out (for monetary reason – hat tip Bada Bing)
Balogun injured for tomorrow – apparently
Ben Davies to start.
He’s like a giraffe on roller skates. I look forward to this.

My wife and I had booked to go to Lisbon on the weekend of the Portugal/Croatia match. We had tickets for the game and hoped for a private tour on 10th June but your post shows that would not have been possible.
A business event in London that i was going to next week was cancelled and I was invited to the next event in Geneva which starts on Sunday 9th June.
So, my son and his girlfriend have been the beneficiaries of free flights, hotel accommodation and match tickets for a dream weekend but they won’t get the private tour.
It’s a pity as we had set a mission for them – to find my wife’s uncle Tommy Rooney’s teeth which have been lost since 25th May 1967.
Anonymous racist trash on cqn,keep posting links but we know your own opinion “coin clipper” on Jewish Celtic fans.we see you racist

Well content on my activity with refugees
Well content on my activity with Palestine
No advice needed thanks
Well content on calling out your ‘coin clipping’racism.
You are racist scum on a Celtic blog
Keep it hidden,keep it anonymous,keep it racist.
Contrary to popular belief, Victor Boniface’s Bayer Leverkusen did not smash the record for Europe’s longest unbeaten run in all competitions after coming from behind to earn a dramatic 2-2 draw with AS Roma at the BayArena on Thursday night
The official website of UEFA has clarified that Europe’s longest unbeaten run in all competitions is held by Scottish club Celtic who were unbeaten inn 62 consecutive matches
The Hoops set the record 107 years ago, with all of those sixty-two fixtures coming in the league.
You won’t read about this in the British press. . .. . .

you are talking shite, what help would i need,
you are bang out of order with those posts,
you do not like the topic, fine, my obsession might be celtic, but not unhealthly so or to the detriment of anything else i do in life.
i am sure celtic play 19 games at home on the season card, everytime there are empty seats i will comment,
like others do about team selection, or tactics, or caravans in the trossachs,
dont respond, your posts are offensive.
Fred: I see George has changed his profile picture to show his support for refugees.
Barbara: Has he donated money or time? Is he giving English lessons? Is he making a room available?
Fred: No, no, he’s just virtue signalling.

Yes it sounds like a mixture of ex-pats and locals.
Loved when the big guy came up to the camera and shouted, “We’re one up on the Rangers!”

Virtue signalling:
When someone superficially advertises their support for a cause and goes out of their way to publicly condemn others in order to seek validation.
Drawing attention to their self righteousness to appear morally superior.
https://www.roomforrefugees.com/
Why did you call a jewish poster a “coin clipper”?
Thats racism.pure and simple.
Your own typed words racist.
Try deflect all you can from your own racism
You cant
All on here are morally superior to the low life racism you typed,no explanation needed you thought yourself superior to a jewish Celtic fan and comfortable enough to throw out a thousand year old european trope
Racism is racism,your the one typing the shoite,it gets no validation from any supporter of a club founded to help refugees
Keep deflecting onto why you are being called out as a racist,you shine a light on nothing but your racism in your answers,the one thing you dont explain is your racism.
Have a good day Celts
Til later

Virtue signalling and Narcissism
A recent study has shown that Narcissists are more prone to virtue signalling than any other demographic. This is because their insatiable need to be liked and admired without exerting the effort into being virtuous. And they don’t want to make the sacrifices required.
Narcissists whole characters revolve around falsifying virtue. And maintaining a façade that’s more kind and empathetic than they really are.
Virtue signalling allows many narcissists to lead relatively normal lives. And blend in with neuro-typicals. Which is how they manage to maintain relationships, despite their poor treatment of others.
