Playing at home against the side who last night finished 35th in the 36 team Conference League table is surely bound to give Celtic some respite from the recent avalanche of defeats. Aberdeen travelled home from Prague during the night after a 3-0 defeat to Sparta. A home draw against an Armenian side and a draw in Cyprus was enough to earn them a point more than bottom team Rapid Vienna.
Domestically, however, they are in fine form. Their last defeat was in October and came on the back of a long flight home from Athens, where they suffered a 6-0 drubbing. Since then, they have won five and drawn twice in the league, beating Hearts in the process. Four wins and a draw in their last five games puts them top of the form table, two points better than anyone else over that period.
On Sunday, I expect Aberdeen to redeploy their approach to this year’s Scottish Cup Final, when they sat in and waited on a Celtic mistake. Practically any result is possible, let’s hope a corner is turned.

Even if we win on Sunday, he’s 1 defeat away from the sack,so do it now.
——
So,
If he goes on a long unbeaten run …
… wins the league with a game to spare
… rests the entire team on the last day to keep them fresh for the cup final
… and we lose?
He’ll get his jotters?
A symphony of spluttering animosity, with logic well and truly flung out the window! All since the old fox Pistolero was unceremoniously emptied.
Tell me, are the Chairman’s loyal lapdogs finally finding their bark?
This chorus of uncouth language, this unedifying rage, it’s most unbecoming of gentlemen who once postured as paragons of the Celtic way.
Tut-tut. It really is not cricket, old boys.
Tally ho!
Sionnaigh and Double Niner.
Walked into a not so carefully laid snare of mine a few weeks ago.
Hoisted upon their own petard, if you will.

It’s time to take a step back when you convince yourself anyone who doesn’t agree with you is the same person.
MoM – Glasgow v Edinburgh in the first leg of the 1872 Cup tomorrow should be a cracker. Enjoy👍

Think bournesouprecipe would have picked up on the nuance of my post, which was of course a response to his reference to the my oft used metaphor (or trope if you prefer) of the man on the Clapham Omnibus. We have engaged on this, and on other posts on more than one occasion. Hence my retort, as to where BSP might sit on said vehicle, …..ie at the back. (you dont waste material like that by only using it once), and likewise the reference to his “fellow travellers”, …..(on the omnibus).

============
Can I ask you a question?
At an AGM, I think 2021, Peter Lawwell was asked by Video Celts Joe McHugh if he had seen or been involved in creation of the 5WA.
PL denied sight and never answered second question.
About six weeks later the existence of a letter from Neil Doncaster addressed to PL amongst others, with 5WA attached surfaced on the SC blog.
Given it was clear evidence of PL lying to shareholders, do you think that was an opportunity for the CST as the main reps of shareholders with relationships with GB with no time for PL, to get rid of PL by raising the issue directly with Celtic and seeking legal advice on a CEO’s responsibilities to shareholders at an AGM?
Do you think loyal lapdogs interfered to prevent then what The Collective want now?

Probably not an area of expertise of yours Mo but you “erect” buildings, towers, bridges even, but not tunnels…
You do not “erect” posters. You er put them up, hang them or even display them…..
Maybe agitprop is not your thing either
Good to see you back on these pages though….too long in exile
Keep up the good work
auldheid
Just for clarification, to whom was said email “addressed” to?
@Pat 12.53…Keep fighting the long run….Top man..

BSR @ 10:35 pm,
It is not a good epiphany – but when the scales fall from the eyes that’s it…
It’s great you keep on, keeping on with the posts – obviously many seen it as the final straw – can you blame them?
On Wednesday I said I was OpTimisTic, and in the first half things were looking up – then rope-a-dope.
So what will tomorrow bring?
I could lie and say I’m opTimisTic again but really why we are so bad at times is just beyond me, though one things for sure, any half decent opposition manager can see it.
Let’s hope Stuart is getting his hair done – otherwise it could be a field day for him.
Aberdeen have a tendency to blow hot or cold – a Thelin off day and an historic Nancy win will do.
Enjoy…
Hail Hail
Celtic Mac @ 11:54 pm,
Quite…
Sometimes it’s worth remembering we are on the same side…
Have a great day…

CST as the main reps of shareholders with relationships with GB
Truth regarding CT at that point
Celtic trust at that time held less than 1% of Celtic shares
Had less than 1000 members
Jeanette Findlay was the connection with the GB leadership, GB had no leverage whatsoever at an AGM, zero, zilch nada, they had a minority of support within the Celtic fanbase at large which is a mute point in terms of attacking PL at an AGM
CT was Jeanette Findlays brainchild 20 years ago, she had the “smarts” as it is often referred to on this blog to set up a shareholders trust which ordinary fans could join and attend an AGM
Given the CT campaigning side of being a Share holders ORG, campaigning successfully on issues such as living wage, assisting Disabled section, fans arrested in Amsterdam, fans affected by FAC legislation, etc, issues which the Celtic board and its major shareholder CGAF about (see St Stivs repeated posts on here who owns the share and by extension the power) CT were never ever going to secure the big voting blocks of shareholder support, neither were you Auldheid in trying to remove an senior important individual in Dermot’s team at Celtic, the backlash from DD s anger would have been considerable
The vast majority of the Celtic support were happy with the jelly and ice cream banter, the “yer teams deid” jibe, getting involved with the complexities of Res12 and the hard work of campaigning required to secure Share voting just never happened, it still isn’t happening.
Many on Celtic blogs give it “Keep it lit” Keep the faith” “power to your indefatigability” easy to punch out the platitudes from a nome de plume, on CQN or SC good for the EGO but as a basis for removing PL it was laughable
The irrefutable fact is that those holding the majority of the Celtic shares were not interested in holding any office bearer or NED on the board to account, PLC AGMs are not vehicles for major change unless there is a financial multi million take over which the CT was never close to having, the simple truth is the leverage to remove Peter Lawwell was not in place at an AGM it would have been futile and a waste of time and energy, to attack him via the AGM
seeking legal advice on a CEO’s responsibilities to shareholders at an AGM?
AI Overview
There is no official central registry or public statistic in the UK that tracks the precise number of successful court cases against PLC office bearers for breaches of fiduciary duty, as many cases are settled out of court, and records are not compiled in a single database. The cost of such cases is also highly variable, typically running to hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.
As one of those on members of the CT executive committee who correctly voted not to proceed with a long time consuming possible financially draining battle to take the PLC into a possible court case, I have never doubted the wisdom of that decision to refuse your proposal
Celtic Trust advised the resolutioners on Res12 in its conception
Celtic Trust voted in favour of Res12 when it ever it was voted upon at an AGM
Celtic Trust never ever campaigned against RES12, nor conspired with any MSM to undermine Res12 that is just insanity
All of the executive including DL agreed unanimously that Celtic had let down those who had put the case of RES12 to the club, the real failure was the Celtic boards inexcusable cowardice to take the Res12 forward by proceeding to take the case through the proper football channels, firstly SFA, then UEFA and if needed UEFA appeals, all at CT felt too much time had elapsed, Celtic had successfully manoeuvred the Res12 into the long grass of always seeking clarification before advancement, a well known tactic of those in power, it was never personal, indeed acceptance of the hard work and the importance of bringing into the light those issues that Res12 achieved was worthy of praise.
To underline this point I am making
IMO this opening sentence in the letter your Lawyer received sums it all up perfectly, Celtic were called out by UEFA in this opening paragraph on Res12
UEFA knew they didn’t have the cojones
We refer to your correspondence dated 27thMay 2016 and understand that you are acting for a group of shareholders in Celtic PLC, It is not the general policy of UEFA to write directly to Lawyers representing unidentified clients and IF this is a matter a MEMBER CLUB of the SFA (ie CELTIC) wishes to take up with UEFA then the club should do so directly
I won’t be engaging any further
I see you have recently had good news on a recent health scare as someone who this week also received the same good news I share your joy
I wish you well
aff oot
My friends in Celtic,
The belief that good things are possible.
Optimism helps physical and mental well-being. Tomorrow can set us up for a better, happier and more grateful Christmas.
Ditch the face coverings. Be proud of who we are and what we do. Own it.
Tomorrow I really feel we will get a very good reaction and response with a positive result.. For the 90 odd minutes lets ditch the Grinch mentality and support the team.
A massive positive atmosphere when the Bhoys walk out will assist enormously.
Just think of the Dopamines we will release .The perfect Chrimbo pressie to ourselves.
Celtic is a lifelong journey, not just for Christmas.
HH, the journey will continue.
Lionroars 67,
Great news on your health.
Let’s make it a trio of happiness and positivity.
Auldheid, a Celtic revival and your own good news.
HH.
In the mid 1970’s I was 16
What we sang and chanted in the jungle then in today’s climate would surely mean being arrested on a weekly basis
Today you could be locked up for being falsely accused of threatening behaviour with a knife
Arrested for wearing a t shirt supporting action in Palestine or banned from a football ground for waving a Palestinian flag
I understand the need for a mask, sadly the consequences of todays instant judgements and demands for instant action are all to real at 6 am in the morning

Lets see what AI has to say on postergate.
———————————————————–
Q) Are posters erected or as Celtic Mac so eloquently phrased, ‘Put up’
A)That’s a great observation — both “erected” and “put up” can be used to describe placing posters in public view, but the choice of wording often depends on register, context, and nuance.
“Erected” is more formal and tends to appear in official announcements, regulations, or formal writing:
“Posters were erected on designated noticeboards around the campus.”
It sounds structured, deliberate, and sometimes implies a degree of permanence or official sanction.
“Put up” (as in Celtic Mac’s phrasing) is colloquial, everyday language.
It’s the natural choice in casual conversation using limited vocabulary :
“We put up posters all over town for the concert.”
It feels more active, informal, and hands-on.
Every day a school day gasúr.
Aberdeen have won 7, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 10 league games. We should still beat them but not sure we will.
I used to argue strongly against supporters of other teams who proclaimed that ` Celtic and Rangers supporters were as bad as each other`.
I would have a difficult time making my case so convincingly now.
” PeterLatchfordsBelly on 20th December 2025 10:31 am

Based on the important `current form`, why should `We should still beat them ` ?
You can protest without giving the manager personal abuse,go above him for the root cause
