When this publishes, I should be a few kilometres into the Great Scottish Run. These events can be humbling. You see people there with messages on their shirts. ‘The big C’ gets a lot of mentions, in many of its forms, as does heart disease and conditions most of us will, fortunately, be less familiar with. Some simply have a loved one’s smiling photograph on their back. Their former feeling of helplessness matured into purposeful action.
I’m running for Celtic Charity’s 1254125 campaign. This is not something controlled or even organised by the club, but it is fundamental to what Celtic Football Club is. The Celtic Movement was called together in a church hall in November 1887 to alleviate the distress of poverty in those unable to feed themselves. It is different from other clubs because it started differently and has since walked unfamiliar roads.
The spirit to help others has been increasingly self-evident in recent years but I am sure the commitment has become more embedded as a result of 1254125. It is now part of our routine, what we know to expect from ourselves.
We will only stay different if you and I continue to insist we walk (or run) unfamiliar roads. We all worry about where our club is going. There is little we can do about many potential dangers but we can make sure Celtic remains anchored to the spirit which founded it. You can support 1254125 through the MyDonate page I setup to convince me I shouldn’t give up halfway through this run. Your support is appreciated.
Yesterday we lost Cllr George Ryan, or St John Doyle, as he was known on these pages. George touched the lives of hundreds of people but unless you were in direct contact, you would not know what he did for the people of Glasgow, for Celtic supporters in difficulty, or even for the Thai Tims. He was an exceptional Celtic man who lived the way exceptional Celtic people have ever since that meeting in St Mary’s Hall.

Morrisey – OK thanks, great contribution.
Lasley is a product of playing up here under managers who hype them up differently when playing certain teams(us) over others (them) but mostly as a result of realising that the MIB’s will let you away with just that much more when you are playing against celtic ,
It does not take long to learn, kick or late tackle anyone else booking, if its at the hate factoty RED CARD,if the opponent is wearing green & white hoops PLAY ON.nothing to see here.
All players who are just simply not good enough will use it to their advantage sort the biased MIBs sort the problm.
Good night all

That guy singing while being arrested was a highlight. 16 roads sitting on the tv stand and knocking the tv into the wall without noticing then trying to pull the window out of it’s frame to have a puff was a sight to witness. He’s one man I would not like to see in a bad mood. The more drunk I got. The better I understood him.
Remember when the hotel told us to stop singing it to everyone who walked past and I highlighted that everyone was happy and sang it back. So we then whispered it to passers-by and they’d responded by singing it back until guy came out again to tell us to stop?
Bishopton co-op 10ish this morning.

Cheers mate.

Was it an aulds van and did you end up at stiv oneills up the port.
RIP St John Doyle. I dinnae know the guy but I know he was one of the very best guys, because of his posts on CQN.
Morrissey the 23rd, aye the place was rampant with huns but we took none of their shite last week. The young dude with the hat even asked if he could stay wi us……PFTTTT. FFS, he rolled a doobie and expected us to partake. I’m glad we were in sensible mode and declined…………………………………………:_)))))
Whisky is bad enough without some young student type getting the better of us.
Hail Hail Bruv
