What is the cost of Tom Rogic’s continuing absence for another two months? Tom has scored more than a few winning or equalising goals over the last two years. We could need him to deliver the third leg of the treble, or to keep the winning run in the league going, but this will not be the real cost.
Tom has been robbed of a precious three months during the most effective spell of his professional life. He improved with every passing month, got stronger, lasted the entire game and even scored a last minute winner.
With competition as it is at Celtic, he’ll be distraught. The personal target of all those who have been on an upward trajectory this season is to put their name on the team sheet for the summer’s Champions League qualifiers. For a player who the manager insisted worked for months before he was relied upon to last 90 minutes, any time he gets before the end of the season will be about recuperation.
For now, there should be no personal targets for Tom apart from being fully fit come June.
You know when you read a nugget which encapsulates much of the journey Scottish football has been on in recent decades? Chick Charnley yesterday on Jim Duffy: “When I played for him at Dundee and Hibs, he would give me Mondays off because he knew I enjoyed my weekends.”
And that was Chic making the case that Jim should have a higher job! Cheers.
Another quote to consider, this time from Brendan:
“There are three types of supporters. The first type who absolutely love you because you are the manager of Celtic. It doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll give you shirts and want you to sign everything.
“The second group are: ‘Okay, we’ll give you a chance and let’s see how you do. See if you win games and I’ll decide’.
“The third group, that’s the group who if you won five they’ll say you should have won seven. ‘You won 5-2? Why did you let in the two goals?’ You can never win!”
I wonder if he’s spoken to Gordon Strachan?

A question for those of you who have been here since the early days:
Oldtim made a significant first post on CQN but neither he nor I have a copy of it. It was, however, copied and referred to by many in the months that followed. If you have a copy, let me know. Thanks.

Looks like the hat thought he had the forest job, negotiated a way out then the job fell through. The glib one not one to miss a trick is now accepting the resignation so no compo!
Supposedly Forrest told them to eff it, superb :-)
BFDJ now on Sky. Cheerleading.
Goldstein on Talksport says Warbs coming on to speak to them?

Who the feck is Alice? – the Huns shouted at their radios.

You, Sir, yer Wonderful, yer hardcore Works they are Magical. I’ve experienced when HATE comes @ you when the Most Vulnerable. The Guy that attacked you was Filled with Hate,,,,, Stupid Hate.
This actually sounds like one of those obituaries, created on a backup system, that has accidently made its way on to the live system.
The squirmometer must be at DEFCON 1.
This is much, much worse the Celtic’c move to Cambuslang because no one in our support ever believed it. But there support is that gulible that they currently believe they have no manager, and are hoping for the third coming of Walter, or Billy Davis, or the De Boers, or Klopp.
But at the same time they also believe Warbutton is staying………………………………………….. heads will be exploding amongst the 500 million fans tonight.
I also disagree regarding Admin. It only cuts the throat of the people they are already in debt to. If they exit Admin the contracts with Ashley remain unchanged.
It does nothing for the contracts as only Liquidation will kill these.
The abominable, atrocious, sometimes nasty PR around Rangers comes home to roost.
Graham Spiers
Either Warburton or Ming is a glib and shameless liar ….. oh, wait a minute ….!!!! Hahahahahahaha
Keep BFDJ on Sky…..this is cliche heaven.
16 Roads was Chanting down Argy St.

”Rangers say they have replaced Mark Warburton as manager with under-20 coach Graeme Murty ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie with Greenock Morton.
The Scottish Premiership club say they have accepted the resignations of Warburton, assistant David Weir and head of recruitment, Frank McParland.
But Warburton, who took charge at Ibrox in 2015, told BBC Scotland he was unaware of the statement.
And the 54-year-old Englishman is consulting his legal team.
He had taken Rangers’ training on Friday as normal ahead of Sunday’s fifth-round tie.
Warburton, who took charge at Ibrox in 2015, had earlier in the morning defended McParland’s record of signings after media criticism of the Glasgow club’s recruitment.
Rangers lie third in the Scottish top flight, but they are a distant 27 points behind city rivals and reigning champions Celtic.
And the club say in their statement that under-20s coach Graeme Murty will take interim charge of the team on Sunday.
“Rangers has accepted the resignations of manager Mark Warburton, assistant manager David Weir and the club’s head of recruitment, Frank McParland,” said Rangers’ statement.
Rangers believe the management team have not reached the targets set.
“The board is very appreciative of the good work previously done by the management team but believes it had no alternative,” added the statement. “Our club must come first and absolute commitment is essential.
“It is important that Rangers has a football management team that wants to be at the club and that the board believes can take the club forward to meet our stated ambition to return to being the number one club in Scotland. We are clearly short of where we expected to be at this time.”

The Sevco statement is, in the words of the immortal Mel Brooks, “authentic frontier jibberish”.
BFDJ the guy who doesn’t know anything is now the Level 5 front man on sky !!
Dear o dear it’s all warburtons fault and everything’s OK!
