Best news of the day? Kris Commons wants to be involved tomorrow against Barcelona. I doubt Kris is anywhere near match fit, so there’s no chance of him starting on Wednesday against Astana, but a 15 minute cameo, when the Astana players’ body clocks are telling them it’s after 2am, would go down a treat.
I’ve always been a bit more ambivalent about Leonel Messi than most. “He’s not hit the levels of Ronaldinho” is my stock comment, and then there’s the dirty little subject. (Tax).
But his media comments ahead of tomorrow’s International Champions Cup game, “I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them”, proves there’s substance to the man.
I’ve a Celtic jersey at home too, Leo. A few of us here do.
Former-Rangers former vice-chairman Donald Findlay is to defend Craig Whyte is his forthcoming trial.
Whyte’s urban legend is going to be difficult to shift, but it’s not accurate. We mocked Rangers fans a few years ago, referring to him as “Our Hero” but he never was. He was the bag man for a very dirty job.
How he handled the SFA, Uefa, HMRC and, most crucially, the insolvency court, when he managed to secure the appointment of Duff and Phelps as Rangers administrators was crucial in the continuation of football at Ibrox.
It was Duff and Phelps who gave Newco the right to use the name “Rangers”, after which point Whyte could claim he was passing on “Rangers”. Everyone else mocked this liquidation fantasy at the time. Until liquidation became a reality, that is.
Whyte left Newco relatively safe in the hands of Charles Green, where it would have thrived, if it hadn’t faced a hostile and damaging takeover bid from its first week of life.

The problem with Rogis is his contract is up for renewal and he shows no willingness to resign.
He is skillful but we should cash in now if he won’t extend.
This is why i believe Brendan is not convinced.
The only world class thing about Celtic is the Celtic support.
Apart from that we are generally awful.
We threaten down right with Allan Chritie and Ralston. Bye
TR just wide
Tom left foot inches wide
Shootin’ boots left at hame :(
Maybe too much expectation of Dembele – just turned 20.
he will come good this season, I’m sure.
O.G
:)
Rogic goes close again
Poor pass Armsteong gives Barca possession
Rogic is a good plYer but slow
See these kids they can play football.
See the cognoscenti have already written off another Celtic player after two games. Supporters are not just bras you know
Who brings these overpriced “strikers” to the club? Beats the band, so it does.
Woeful shot from Barca
Young Christie has vision and potential there to develop
Barca men v Celtic bhoys
Two cameos from Armstrong – crap pass then wrong side in defense
6 minutes for us to get two.
What’s our chances?
