I’ve never known Celtic to subsidise an away match ticket before. Put aside for a second thoughts of thanking the fans for their support during a difficult period (which are valid), I like this move for the message it sends to those in the dressing room, as well as the stands.
We are in a league race, and we want to win it. You can understand Aberdeen’s razor-sharp appetite. They’ve not won the league in over 30 years, every man, woman and child in their ranks will be forgiving of faults and profuse in praise.
By contrast, this will be our five-in-a-row, the 11th title in 16 years. It will never come close to what we experienced in 1998, when we worshipped the words of Wim Jansen after a late-season home draw against soon-to-be-relegated Hibs.
For many of us, 1998 was our Celtic supporting high point – it meant that much. Hopefully we will never again be in a place where a domestic title has such importance. Instead we need to find techniques to deliver that edge, to remind us of the importance of getting it right in every league season.
I refer to that Hibs game in 1998 often, it felt like a pivotal moment. We were nip and tuck for the title, what would have been an historic 10-in-a-row title, one which would have violated one of Jock Stein’s teams’ records. That day, it felt like the chance was slipping, but there would be no let-up. We bundled our nerves together and moved on.
Telling the world that the club is subsidising fans’ ticket costs is one technique to help deliver a little bit of that focus. Let’s hit the plastic running on Saturday.

Bada Bing, I don’t think we will ever get to know the full extent of Murray, the Sfa and the media ‘s actions or inaction, in their case.
My hope would be to see Dodgy Dave the first enjoying porridge and lose his knighthood but I can’t see that ever happening.
Good night all and sleep well.

Thanks for that. I get it that I should’ve stayed away till nine. Won’t keep me away from any such fund-raiser in times to come.
HEN1RIK….
A powerful post ….
May i ask have you written to The club as a shareholder and fan before?
If so ..what answers have you been happy with?

BT & Oldtim
3 winners and a second. :-)
Good start.
Unprecedented this media campaign against our Manager.
Openly interviewing unemployed candidates !
Remind me of the media clammer to replace McCoist when he was embarrassing himself as Sevco coach.

Spoke to JP through email as a fan & this was his response.
As you can imagine I’ve received a fair bit of correspondence on this.
As a rule The Club does not comment on social media exchanges, but I can confirm that the Club’s board continues to act in the best interests of Celtic and our supporters. The Club has been in dialogue with the shareholders involved in resolution 12 from the 2013 AGM and this will continue.
Best regards
JP
The powerful post was from someone I know on Twitter and trust 100%.
He is a shareholder as is his family.
@MACJAY…
Thank you….
A wee side note…….Circa 1971.72.
Working closely with Dr Wardrop i witnessed closehand the degradation both
mentally and physically, of Inmates of the Young Offenders Inst ..Saughton .
Each time i read the updates from Ard.on young Bobby Sands..
I’M astounded as to his mental strength ..

My mega optimistic Tim mind thinks that the Scottish media scum know that Ronny is a genius team builder and are brickin their pants.

You can guarantee that when the MSM give Celtic advice,it isn’t.
What happened to my mentor kevj ?
Drambowiecelt on 15th March 2016 10:56 pm
I had a legal mate who described conditions in the Bar L around the mid `70s .
He wasn`t complimentary.
What is the latest on res 12?
Are we now measuring the distance of res 12 to crossing the goal-line in units smaller than nano meters?
Soon quantum mechanics will apply to resolution 12 where Wanks constant can no longer be ignored! Thus the event horizon will be in the past and everyone will agree, slap each other on the back and say job well done!
However the conservation of bigotry, sectarianism and cheating in the black hole that is Scottish football will ultimately result in a ground state known collectively as the Old Firm state.
@Bobby…..
Delaneys Just may have hit on the ingredient for uniting us as a support..
A Cause if you will…….
Ronny Deila’s Onslaught from scumbag media…

Cant help feeling that a filthy club cheated, their filthy players knew and stole.. and yet the filthy club continues to be allowed to exist and their filthy players are allowed to carry on and work amongst us.
The tory osboure will issue a huge clawback of minimum living standard allowances to the disabled and the most disadvantaged in the budget tomorrow. We will wring our hands and cry outrage.. yet the media in this shite hole of a masonic protestant backwater country, glorify and openly praise the filth that planed and excecuted the biggest crime of the century.
We are shite.
I have never known Celtic PLC to subsidize an away game before either.
The £6 gap.
Now if Celtic PLC believe that their illustrious “customers” are being overcharged £6 at Rugby park and others…begs the question…why now? why not complain to the SPL or SFA that our illustrious customers are being cheated..ah there you go…forgot..cheating..thats ok…….cheating Celtic supporters in Scotland is the expected norm. Trousers down. vaseline out. Foritza….
ANDTR53”’
Wooft ye dont sit on the fence big chap……..
me thinks youv’e contrived a new word in our vocabulary
FILTHY THRU AND THRU…..
That sums em up …….
MAGS
Aye,they’ll throw a party when The Old Firm is back in town. They might be disappointed wi the turnout,mind.
@Mags…
Tigers on vaseline? …..your fascination for lubricatication …
leads me to deduce …. yer erm well lubricated….
Chase Me

Yes, I’m angry and bitter… but the filthy should have been held under the water till they could not come back.. and the result should have been given up as an example any other cheats, that this is what happens to cheats and thieves.
Not surprised by the SMSM attacking our manager in the way they are doing.Just log on here any day,or some of the other sites,as they do,and you will see why they can treat our manager like a piece of sh–.
Disgusting behaviour from the fans.No matter what you think,he has the job of winning us the league and cup.Get behind him and the team.When the battle is over,then decisions can be made.
Its just so disappointing. Since 2012. We should have buried this cancerous scum once and for all. The cupid stunts gave us all the ammo we need, but naw…a coalescence of green huns, a corrupt board, an SFA apathy and money means they will be back. April 1st will be my last missive on CQN. I have a life to follow.
@ANDYR53..
Of course you are echoing the feelings of many good Celtic fans?supporters.
There seems to be a wind of change recently regarding how we express the
Discontent…….The fans are getting together, to force answers to
Questions….And like you many are very very angry….
