The last minute goal fell Celtic’s way at the weekend but Wednesday’s opponents, Ajax, were on the receiving end of the sucker punch, losing to a last minute goal at home to Vitesse, just a week after a goalless draw at home to joint bottom Waalwijk. The Dutch champion’s only win in their last five games was at home to lower league opposition six days ago.
So what does this mean for Celtic? It means Ajax have found various ways not to approach the Celtic game. The last thing teams need ahead of a crucial game is an easy or flattering result, far better to show up your mistakes.
If Celtic take the lead, we might find Ajax confidence sinks rapidly, but they will approach the game full of focus, dangerous and with a point to prove.
It’s Christmas time…….
The Celtic FC Foundation (new name for Celtic Charity) Christmas Appeal has been launched. The 125 Anniversary activities have considerably reenergised the Celtic Movement in getting back to where is all started – looking after those in need.
The Christmas Appeal aims to provide 150 local families who would otherwise go without, a Christmas meal, with gifts for younger kids.
The Celtic support will be helping people through Glasgow East Women’s Aid, Spirit Aid, the Glasgow Simon Community, Loaves and Fishes, The Wayside Club, Glasgow City Mission and Lodging House Mission.
Details of how to help online, and in person, are available here.
Offensive Behaviour Act
Scottish Parliament Justice Committee convenor, Christine Grahame, has agreed to discuss an Early Review of the Act on the agenda for tomorrow’s Justice Committee meeting. Three members of the Committee are already committed to a Review, details on how to contact others on the committee – it has to be today, they meet tomorrow – are available here, on the Trust website.

Surely “getting back to where it all started” should include paying all employees (including those sub-contracted” the nationally recognised Living Wage, as part of being a responsible employer.
It is shameful that our plc board are opposing this resolution and ridiculous it is taking fan pressure to try and affect change for something which should be embedded in everything Celtic do, getting back to where it all started – this isn’t charity it is paying people properly for the work they do.

Wonder what the Chinese will make of Scottish football? Will we get some young talent coming over and trying to make it as a result?
And how will the £20M be spent? Is it shared between clubs? Added to prize money?

..2 dbl vodkas + bottle of tonic £11.60 BB’s
Across the street in summin ….hui £7.60
…apologies if I drank in a non-approved joint, but circa 40% cheaper?? Maybe the tonic was bootleg/dodgy!
25mls of Bells and a small bottle of lemonade – £6.90.
Is that expensive for a Linlithgow hostelry?
( It wasn’t for me btw)

No probs, but believe me that story is 100% true. Living in a house with a wife and 2 daughters (even my dog is a bitch) was an angry place for a few days cos my eldest was raging with the youngest for losing the passport and going on her hols 2 weeks later.
I don’t doubt it…

Interesting view on the poppy:

Does the new Internet deal mean we are going to be stuck in the sphell for another 10 years.
I have just purchased 4 €75 tickets for Wednesday night’s game on the following site :-).
I don’t know the face value but I do know that it is not in with the Celtic fans :-( as I leave tomorrow at 12pm I am having the tickets delivered to my hotel in Amsterdam and have paid for them using my PayPal account.
If you use this method put the full hotel name in where it says ‘First name’, put your first name or initials in where it says ‘Prefix’ and Surname in the next box. The rest is self explanatory, you should have the info you need on your hotel confirmation.
I hope this helps anybody looking for tickets, the more Tims round about me the better I’ll feel :-))

Honestly the stick that Peter Lawell takes in here from these armatures is ridiculous, they really let themselves down, Celtic Supporters? Aye right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Armatures?
Tbh,bud-we’re just winding you up!
No doubt Doncaster will be all smug and self-congratulatory on the TV deal, while conveniently forgetting how he cost the game a “seven-figure sum” (his own words) by making the 2011 Sky deal dependent on four Celtic-Rangers games at a time he knew Rangers were going to go bust (according to Craigy anyway).
Ps you can change the page to English using that horrible looking fleg.
Looks like Butcher is on for the Hibs job.

The polis are obliged to return found passports to the immigration and passport service
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/the-judge/hairdresser-delighted-lost-passport-handed-1781290
As for the polis handing back to a finder a laptop or any other instrument that data bank details etc could be recorded on no chance
Is that 20mill over 10 years less bonuses for the fat cats at the SPFL?

Don’t think Big Tel would ever be welcome back there.
never had a good word to say about Rangers and apparently slated the club in his book for the bigotry.

True-seems his wife pointed out to him what he had become.
Good point,I had forgotten that.
Are people actually creating armatures to give our board hassle?

Butcher actually comes across as a decent enough fella to me.
I disliked him at rangers and will never forget the look on Billy McNeill’s face after Terry battered an OG in and we beat them 3-1 at Paradise. As he was making his way back to the dressing room Billy was being interviewed and Butcher smashed the door behind him. Thought Billy was going to lamp him!
