Ronny Deila has been talking about a treble since early in the season, far too early for my liking. History suggests that trebles are notoriously difficult to win, even for dominant teams. The league is usually won by the best team but it’s hard to win every game in two cup competitions, no matter how good you are.
Despite this, I’ll not bet against Ronny getting his wish. He needs to win four games cup games, three of which would be at neutral Hampden, with only one game, the Scottish Cup quarter final, possibly being played away from home.
The cynic among you will, therefore, expect an away draw, possibly in some far-flung end of the country, like Inverness. My money is on a trip to Easter Road. I’ll be happy to avoid Tannadice, scene of our last defeat and a place they’re understandably feeling sort over the loss of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.
People of Kirkcaldy: that whole 1994-Ibrox thing, forget about it, we’re OK.
Well done to Celtic for highlighting their position as the least likely football team to financially default, according the US rating agency, Standards & Poor’s. Commercial and ticket income across Scottish football has fallen in recent years but that was only going to result in Armageddon if those in charge of clubs put an inflated sense of their own importance ahead of paying bills.
See the photo above sent by Mary’s Meals last week of the school kitchen we funded at CQ10. Work is already underway to raise funds for a fourth CQN kitchen in Malawi after the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, on Friday 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite. Email me for ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Re Paul McMullan – looks like he is training with Celtic and playing development games during the week and spending a couple of days with Stenhousemuir.
I didnt realise you could do that but if Scott Booth says it, it must be true ;-)

The hun arsonist would probably have torched Stairs Park. :))
Hope you had a nice break. Did you visit the Polish Army built, stone map of Scotland?
It’s no surprise that a middle of the road hotel in London does not want Rangers fans near their premises.
Across England from Wolverhamptom, Newcastle, Chesterfield to Birmingham ( where after their pitch battle with the police during a friendly with Aston Villa Willie Waddell promised to sign a Catholic…ok it only took another 20 years ).
Then Manchester which took more damage than the Luftwaffe managed during the 2nd world war.
The only suitable venue is London Zoo. Personally I would have the Govan hordes in cages as well.
The Ally Pally and we could televise it. Lots of big bevvied guys wi blue n orange tops throwing darts at the board…

No, next question please ;-)
London Zoo Monkey House
I suppose I could have said this any time in the last couple of years: if you wrote about the misadventures of the undead as a novel, no publisher would would print it, as it would be deemed far to far far-fetched. You simply couldn’t make it up. Long may the farce continue. They deserve every minute. Mind you, so do we, after the years of cheating we have endured (and still DO!!) because they are ra peepil.

Train ticket to Euston: £120 return
Open top bus tour of the city (may as well when you’re there) £40
Dinner out at Nandos on Picadilly £30
Getting pumped oot of yer hotel before you even get to London: Priceless
So der hun lurches from one embarrassment to another. Marvellous.
Re their toxic EGM, surely the London Dungeon would be suitable?
Failing that, what about Green Park as a wee nod to the Great Chuckles?

And he revealed that police had been delighted with the way that nearly 1,000 protesters had behaved in the second major protest in under a month.
He said: “Rangers fans can certainly be angry and they can be frustrated, but they know how to conduct themselves.
“What we saw yesterday was a lot of people who were upset at the running of our club. The police in attendance told us there were just under 1,000 people there.
“We were commended by the police for the way that we conducted ourselves for the duration of the demonstration before the match.
Good god..Are they ripping the p—or what.That will be the same police who tell us the Monkey parades every year are law abiding.
This is too easy…….
I’m picturing a bus load of them turning up at Fawlty Towers and Basil going bonkers……
Maybe the EGM should be held in Nelson Mandela towers, Peckham

Mrs 001..’Her Outdoors’ owns a Little Island off The Great Barrier Reef..Called Seaview..
It has No Infrastructure so would be Perfect for a Rangers EGM..
It could Also do with a Couple of Gardeners so could be Win Win..if they want to Book it..;-)

This place may be willing…..
That’s enough now – too easy. Not fair.
Dignity indeed.
Evening Celts,
Regarding the awful news that the hotel venue has knocked back Sevco 2012 for the EGM. I can exclusively reveal that a new and more suitable venue has been secured in London, I give you……

they should hold their EGM at the steel works – lots of liquidation there too!

No bother whatsoever, a couple of quid to a good cause is better than giving the bookies the aforementioned couple of quid
Cheers and good luck, I could think of worse places than Paradise for your slide

Good luck!

Eddieinkirkmichael,
It is ridiculous you and especially your family are being targeted like this. I hope all those responsible are caught and jailed for a long time. Total cowards in their actions, typical hun scum supporters.
Stay strong Eddie.
Looking for two tickets for Firhill.
Cheers.

The Tower of London does a good hanging i believe…..

Mr Lawwell meets heavily disguised Sevco Director about using Celtic Park for the EGM :-) #PossibleVenuesForSevcoEGM pic.twitter.com/EnABXyFnq2
Am i reading correctly that rangers fans have to be congratulated for following the law an not breaking it? Scandalous. What are focus Scotland doin bout the sectarian singing from cup game?
Also places for new egm – the secret bunker in fife!
Was at my first development game tonight for years. Good game big Scepovic didn’t look like a 2 million player though.
I know they’re good for a laugh or two thousand ,but the more distance we put between ourselves and that toxic entity the better.
It’s now getting beyond a joke.
