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.

Parkheadcumsalford, my dad is into his tenth decade.
His all time favourite player , not just for Celtic, was Malky MacDonald.
He has saw some of our greatest players and other greats who didn’t play for us but to this day he still says Malky MacDonald , was his favourite.
England won the World Cup? Well I’ll be……….it’s never mentioned
Offski,duty calls.
Have fun,y’all.
Chairbhoy,
Thanks for the post. I’m not too long in myself.
You make valid points but for me Messi would have to be in the 11 somewhere. I took my son to see Barca v Valencia a few years ago. Messi scored a hat trick in the second half and it was just something else. A magic moment, maybe I’m biased having my son with me in Barcelona.
I’m on draft 9 of my all time 11 bye the way:))

If the plural of foot is feet then why is the plural of boot not beet?

Chairbhoy,
That particular night we were behind the goal where the hat trick was scored in the second half.
Barca brought Henry on for Ibrahimović at Half Time. Messi scored in front of us.
Hard to beat. imo
