It was curious that Peter Lawwell was quizzed on potentially having a conflict of interest in deciding if a recent multiple-convict would be regarded by the SFA as Fit and Proper to direct a football club. The club in question are not even in our league; conflict exists only in the heads of those who persist in believing in a ‘Firm which expired on the liquidation of one party.
I’ve avoided the appropriateness of a recent convict directing a football club as the deciding matters appear overwhelmingly obvious. There are no written rules on being Fit and Proper, largely due to the Mahatma Gandhi question posed by Neil Doncaster last year. Gandhi was a convict, but one of impeccable character. The contemporaneous character references are all important. The SFA will also be chastened by recent experiences.
My guess is that in the unlikely event the Nomads acquiesce, Peter Lawwell’s views will be immaterial. “Nobody likes us, we don’t care” has nothing to do with it, just find someone Fit and Proper!
Delighted that Aberdeen’s quest for silverware survived Fir Park last night. This club have underachieved for around 20 years now but Derek McInnes stands a reasonable chance of delivering second place in the league, as well as the League Cup.
Not so delighted at Hibs capitulation. Despite playing like Brazil in the 1970 World Cup for the first 15 minutes of their home tie against Hearts last night they were soon out-muscled, with more than a few players looking miles out of their depth. There is no compensation for Scottish football in Hearts progressing to the semi-finals. They are mid-crisis and will remain so, irrespective of how they perform in cup competitions, but the absence of Hibernian from the genuine challengers is a regret.
Morton went down to a late St Johnstone goal. They have now lost five and drawn one of their six games since winning at Celtic Park, their only victory since August…..
With this in mind, I’ll refrain from referring to the potential advantage of having a Cup Final at ‘home’ until we have earned the right to be there.
Dreadful news of Fernando Ricksen. I hope he finds strength from those close to him in the years ahead.
The new CQN Annual is looking great, really delighted with it. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the project. You can pre-order below:

Made the ultimate mistake today in trying to work the Huns out….
There raging the Mickie mouse cup isn’t at Celtic park..
There raging the Scottish cup is at Celtic park…
Mad mad zombies never happy HH
just had a wee read back and my views about celtic now and in the future are simple;
celtic fc should;
always be represented in Scottish football
work with the other clubs to make Scottish football better
promote a league structure (wee league is killing Scottish football not making it stronger)
would like to see a league of 18 x 2 = 34 league games, add 4 team euro play off, add 4 team relegation play offs and relegate 2, bigger league allows stronger teams to build momentum, challenge and raise crowds.
all crowds exceeding 30,000, give 50% of away gate to away team
split 50% (commercial i.e. t.v, competition etc… ) profit from all clubs competing in European football among those teams that qualify the following season
example, celtic earn £10 million commercial profit from C/L, bank £5 million, spit £5 million between 5 team representing Scottish football the following year. celtic get back £1 million, 4 teams are £1 million better off allowing for better team building, player recruitment etc… and therefore competition at home and abroad.
unlike other league euro success improves the league

No chance mate we are better staying out of it, the club have done a statement that’s plenty for us. Let the Huns do something his conection is with them. HH
Kojo utter bollocks……
if the hun never won their tainted trophies they would have went bust sooner and deeper troubles.
We would have most likely won those trophies and qualified for Europe, therefore we would have been in a stronger financial position, along with other teams, as you rightly point out.
as I say bollocks!

As he suffers from the same illness as Jimmy why not make a donation to Jimmy’s charity, or ask that charity to set up a page in for people to donate in the name of Ricksen.
I wont make any comment on why I wouldn’t have anything to do with any intiative emanating from Ibrokes

Just sent an email to Sky Sports asking them to clarify the exact date rfc came out of administration , as claimed by Jim McColl .

Sent the following to John Paul Taylor at Supporter Liaison………
Date for St Mirren Home Match —–
This match has been set for Wednesday 18th December at 7.45pm.
As of last night, both Celtic and St Mirren have a free Saturday on 1 February 2014.
This is due to intended opponents Aberdeen and Hearts qualifying for that weekends’ League Cup Semi Finals.
Could the possibility be raised of Celtic and St Mirren now playing at 3pm on that Saturday?
Not only is that preferable to a December evening in many ways, but it would avoid Celtic having the dreaded 3 home games in a week, just before Christmas!
Wullie fae Cumnock on SSB there, apparently, there’s no financial crisis at Sevco. Wullie reckons the Sovvy Ring cup run and gate receipts will see them through till next season!
Ha ha ha.
Wullie, take yer wife and yer sister oot for a meal, ye’ll only need a table for 2!

We now have not only the Mynah Bird & his Glove Puppet advocating greed & selfishness to suffer.
We also have the voice of the drug dealing, brothel running, protection racketeers of our dissident gangsters who will bring us to a nation once again.
What a choice !

Pal of mine just rang he has two packages for Amsterdam. Two guys who were going can’t make it now due to work commitments. It’s 2 nights BnB flying from Glasgow, leaving Glasgow Tuesday at 10am coming back on Thursday at 1pm. The hotel is next to the stadium and underground for those looking to sample the delights of Central Amsterdam. £450 inc tickets for the game!
Anyone interested get my email from Paul67…..

Shuggiebhoy. If you read all the posts this afternoon it was suggested a European league would only be for well off Celtic fans and poorer supporters would be left behind.I said that to keep every Celtic fan involved the European league could be beamed back to Celtic Park so all Celtic supporters could be involved.I think a level playing field in Scotland has not happened in the 50 years I have supported Celtic and in my opinion wont happen in the next 50 years.However,there is a chance of a European league however slim the chance may be and a level playing field within Europe.H.H.
is this a joke or a horror story?
