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

We play D.U. Three times in the space of 2 weeks.
ger57 – Remember the Satanic Panic of the 80’s, that led to all those kids in Orkney being taken away from their parents on the basis of ridiculous allegations coaxed out of them by social workers with an ideological axe to grind?
The Westminster allegations bring those days to mind. (thumbsup)
Scottish Cup Q Final :
Dundee Utd v @celticfc
Hibs v Berwick or Spartans
Qos V Falkirk
ICT v Raith
I’m saying nothing or Turkeybhoy will be on my case:)))
Great draw for the Hoops.
Get United pumped out and the cup is ours.
LB
A good exciting draw that ensures we’ll have different opponents in both domestic cup finals.
HH
So predictable !!!!!!!!!
BCW-Thanks,it does need to get looked at

Er Leon Britton pictured in a maid’s outfit with a naked boy on his lap is in a slightly different ballpark I think.
Good draw. Another great game to look forward to.
Spanishjohn,
I don’t think it’s on BT or Sky. BBC Scotland only, which might be an even bigger problem. Cheers.
BBC to show Sevco game live on Scottish Cup Quarter Final day
You have to beat the best to secure a Cup, a sell out at Tannadice should be a great occasion in the season, two football teams vying for a place in the semis..cracking draw..

‘Westminster is full of criminals and peado’s.’
Does not constitute whistle-blowing. Just as BJK does not constitute whistle-blowing.

‘Those who seek to make political points out of the suffering of vulnerable people are beneath contempt.’

Which is exactly what the poster was trying to do. I agree with you, it’s beneath contempt.
Not the draw we wanted.
Eurochamps67
The ole Beeb will probably ask Utd to switch the tie to the Comedy Club in Govan…
HH
Well Paul67
You jinxed that one.
We will just need to go there and win. Should be a cracking tie. Utd will be up for it. So will we.
Bring it on

!!Bada Bing!!
Madden had a great game yesterday then. Only seen the highlights, including Daly’s early header…………watch how he uses both hands to hold the defender down and propel himself up……………no doubt if the ball would have ended up in the net, it’d have counted.
The 5 or was it 6 minutes injury time, was there a major incident in the game to justify that ?
Liked both Rover’s strip and Ryan Conroy’s contribution.
One of the toughest draws away to Arabs but what’s the chances of them beating us twice in a row at Tannadice?
They will be weaker without SA and GMS and we will be stronger .
So Arabs 3 weekends in a row :
Away Scottish Cup 7th March
League Cup Final 15th March
Home League 21st March
Struggling to remember the last time we had a home tie in the Scottish Cup – anyone remember?
Hardest Draw there was.
I’m sure we’ll be up for it if nothing else.
Better than playing wee teams as it’s hard to get the Bhoys motivated for teh 2nd half clearly :-)
Mucker
Mrs ZMB thinks it is a stitch up as well.
She is not too happy that they have to play us again.
Away from home again.
Did not expect anything else.
HH
Agenda’s eh!
MWd said AYE
Rock Tree Bhoy.. Aberdeen last season
My bhoy said this morning he thought United were the only team that could stop us doing the treble. Smash them in these 3 games will put down a unstoppable marker. COYBIG
I wonder how many expenses trips were paid for on expenses from Westminster to Kincorra?
Maybe Kincorra was just made up!
Silly me.

Prediction: An all Green Final.

Any PC repair person worth their salt will back-up the hard drive before working on anything that might cause data loss.
Only an unscrupulous one would keep the back-up, but that’s no need for scaremongering.

You seem to Agree with Me..When IT Guys on here Fully admit and Boast of keeping CQN Posts for Years and Obviously ‘Research’ Posters Identity Etc..To use against then at a later date if they So Wish..
If Telling the Truth is Scaremongering Yes l am..As l Said it;s a Dog Act..
Only an unscrupulous one would keep the back-up, but that’s no need for scaremongering.

It’s ironic that the amount of injury time they get is usually down to the aftermath of dealing with another ‘Elbows’ assault. Lucky that they are crap and can’t use it.

weeminger – Could be, if that photo actually exists.
Do we believe the claims of murders being committed by senior politicians at high society sleazy parties? In front of witnesses from the top of the British establishment?
I mean, really?
Sounds like the plot to a bad 70’s revengesploitation movie to me. Or something from David Icke’s website.
If something is too far fetched to be true, it’s usually not true. (thumbsup)
After we beat ICI in the semis
“Favourites Celtic will travel to Tannadice to face Dundee United in the only all-Premiership tie in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.”
BBC Website.
Only? Three Premiership teams in the draw ? So distraught that their team is out they have lost the ability to think (or count).

Paul Foot investigated those allegations. According to Richard Ingrams he concluded they were false and had been put about by MI5 to discredit him (Brittan) as they perceived him to be a threat to their organisation.
It’s our final before the final.
Approach it as such and we will win.

Yes, but apart from Aberdeen last season.

What you’re talking about now and the post I replied to are completely different things.
You talked about IT people saving personal information from a computer they were repairing. I’m saying that that’s a standard procedure and to suggest otherwise is scaremongering.
What you’re now talking about is people storing data over a long period of time to build a profile. Completely different. As far as I can see there’s no reasonable reason to do so. If for no other reason than this is a football message board. Very little that is talked about here is of great importance in the grand scheme of things.
