Slightly annoyed at being moved from the Upper North tonight but after experiences of League Cup games at this time of the season against Partick, Falkirk and Morton, it’s probably no bad thing that atmosphere is concentrated up close and personal to the field. Celtic Park can be an intimidating theatre, but League Cup nights need some crowd management to make it so.
Remember, it’s a 19:15 kick off, so don’t pitch up midway through the second half!
We’re less than three weeks away from the Great Scottish Run and my Celtic Foundation T-shirt has just arrived. If you are registered to run and would like to raise £125 for the Foundation’s work towards Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty, email them here and they’ll be in touch.
It’s not too late to register for the event itself, which you can do here.
I know the call goes out often, and I know everyone cannot get involved, but the community of Celtic fans is anchored in a tradition of caring for those in need. We need to continue to tell this story and ensure the message is not lost. I have a MyDonate page here, if you can help out.
Many thanks.

The original principles of the Labour Party have been ditched by the newbies like you. That’s why they have lost their core support.
Imagine, you can claim the credit for Labour losing Glasgow to your beloved nats.
Davidopoulos,
I’d rather vote for his brother Steve.

Livibhoy,
re Kevin Twaddle.
he was a regular in a bookies in Motherwell for a while.
I personally sqaw him blow over 2 grand on 2 separate occasions…..and was told that it was far from an infrequent happening!
Doesnt surprise me that he couldnt concentrate on the pitch due to his coupon.
HAIL! HAIL!

Davie Dodds had a similar problem.
Saw some of the comments about what tonight’s lineup and formation will be …. here are my thoughts, for what they are worth.
Like some, I am concerned that if we play with only 2 mids (probably Brown and Johansen), plus 2 wide men and 2 strikers (I include Commons in that) – which is the formation I expect – we will continue to get ragdoll’ed in the middle of the park ….
Read an intersesting article on how this 4-2-4 can work …. (see …. http://thenewlibero.blogspot.ca/2014/03/have-red-bull-salzburg-reinvented-4-2-4.html )
but dont think that are mids have the skill to dominate, nor do our forwards have the strength and skill required. Also, while I think Lustig could move up to suppport, I’m afraid I have lost confidence in Emilio… he can still get forward, but no longer has the speed to get back to cover defensively when he does.
I would prefer a 4-5-1, with the two wide men getting forward to support as required, but, realistically, we have to fit Commons in … so that means a 4-4 -1 -1 with Commons behind either of the new strikers….
but, I like what I have seen of Wakaso, and would like to see him given a run. Maybe wide left of a middle 4?
What’s all this about Butlin’s entertainers?

I considered, and rejected, joining the Labour Party forty years ago because I concluded it wasn’t, and never would be, a socialist party.
That would be the Labour Party that so many of you claim to be nostalgic about, whilst you slide into the swamp of nationalism.

They have already broken the much lauded timetable.
The full plans were to come out on Friday. Nothing was forthcoming.
It fooled enough people to get them over the line.
Blair McDougall has now admitted they couldn’t have won without project fear.
Labour are tweeting about saving the NHS and they called it nationalist lies.
Who are the liars now?
The poorest in our society voted YES. They were let down by the rich, the selfish, the easily fooled and the over 55s.
It will never end until we get what we want and dismantling Labour who delivered this FOR Cameron should be the aim of all decent people in Scotland.
The Party supposedly of the working people abandoned them again.
The SNP have now had a surge in membership, they far from being a spent force have now become the third biggest party in the UK.
This is far from over and once the Tories win in May and all hell breaks loose regarding cuts, war, austerity and the EU membership the perfect storm is brewing.
For Scots who were fooled into voting no by Gordon Brown on behalf of Cameron the perfect storm clouds have already gathered and the discontent will take us one step closer.
They think they have won, they’ve just got themselves a delay.

You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
Also makes a mockery of the ‘one, rogue yes poll was all an M15 plot’ conspiracy.
‘PRIVATE polling carried out by a firm in the lead-up to the referendum on Scottish independence had convinced the Yes campaign of victory, it has been revealed.
Canadian voter contact firm First Contact had been called in to conduct opinion polling, with analysis of their findings by academics suggesting a victory for the Yes campaign by 54 per cent to 46 per cent, the Daily Record reports.
The internal polling led the SNP hierarchy to believe a shock victory was on the cards, and were confident of succeeding in their bid for independence until the first authorities began declaring results.
The Nationalists were thought to have a highly-sophisticated data-modelling system prior to the vote, with First Contact even going so far as to reveal their predictions to the media in Canada before the votes had been counted.
Mike O’Neill told the Toronto Star: “I believe [the Yes camp] are going to win. I feel pretty confident.”
According to the Record, the Yes campaign contacted a number of journalists around 10pm on Thursday with details of a planned victory speech by First Minister Alex Salmond.
The SNP leader announced his intention to step down the following day after failing to secure a win in the historic vote, which saw the highest turnout since the 1950s.
A senior SNP source told the Record: “The turnout was so high that it was very unpredictable but we really did believe we had done enough for victory. The numbers we were getting back from the pollsters were excellent.”
The source admitted that the pro-independence camp ‘thought they had done it’ at the start of the night, adding: “It quickly became clear as the votes were counted that something had gone wrong.”
The final tallies showed Scotland rejected independence by 55 per cent to 45 per cent.’

Please get the name right for a start, it’s New Labour. It’s bit like yon died team trying to convince everyone that it’s still the same team. There are NO Labour MPs anywhere only NEW Labour Mps. There are no Labour Policies or ideologies only NEW Labour Policies and Ideologies and those, unlike Labour, are right of centre policies. Red Tories is right on the button for NEW Labour por cierto
sorry bobby got distracted …..but in answer to your question i’ll probably be there don’t know about the bhoys shifts though, i’ll get back to you

Yes. Or the party did.
And huge, swinging, titanium principles. I imagine being the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party candidate in Coatbridge is like going to the Sevco Halloween party dressed as Hector. (thumbsup)

Thanks for the link to the not so Proud article.
I know someone has suggested that Phones4U couldn’t sell phone contracts and this led to their demise, but it stinks of insider dealing.
No evidence but I wonder if BC knew that the big Phone providers were moving towards direct selling of contracts, and actually foresaw this when they bought – especially as they loaded it with debt equivalent to what they paid for it.

To all those complaining about the Labour Party, here is a view from somebody there:
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/23/ian-martin-labour-conference-thick-of-it
“In the end I don’t bother staying for Miliband’s big speech. We all knew what was going to be in it, didn’t we? I head for home, where the sitting Tory MP has a majority of just 333. Oh, the stupid Labour party. I can’t remember a more spineless opposition. But there is at least within it a viable opposition to that opposition. Maybe it’s worth joining to help nurture that. In the end it can’t be less use than doing nothing at all, can it? I don’t know.”
I agree. If people are really so passionate there should be a movement within Labour to change Labour. If Ed loses the election, which he is likely to, then there will be much soulsearching to be done. There will be an opportunity to change course. It surely is more useful than complaining about red tories on a football blog?
Jamesgang,
Remind me to show you how I’ve got so many chins when we have oor furst beer.

==========================
I am a socialist republican, I have much in common with working folks all over the world, I don’t like the idea of downsizing to a Scotland which has such an unhealthy (some would lean to corrupt and sectarian) ‘establishment’ and judiciary.
If Labour had said vote YES I would not have done so, this was a single issue vote which I made my own mind up on. i.e. you cannot be Independent if you don’t control your purse. Coming out of the EU with a yes vote was another show stopper.
Ed Milliband made a great speech yesterday? Maybe he did, but it is just a pity they didn’t show it on the news
I watched it live, it was great stuff, I recommend you get on you tube.
And the tartan tories nonsense has been a misued myth for over 40 years.
Amazingly (to me) The SNP in their heartlands did not vote for independence due to Salmond turning the SNP ‘socialist’ to get the Weegie vote.
I can’t understand anyone voting to keep a weapon of mass destruction on their shores.
These weapons can never be used. On balance, I’d rather have them than not as long as we have Putin and his ilk on the prowl. I would like the world to mutually agree to get rid of the things. If I think they are a necessary evil (which I do) I would be a nimby if I objected to them in my land.
