Amid the general hilarity on Scottish football at the moment I’m sure it’s not escaped Ronny Deila’s attention that we have one of our most important games of the season coming up on Saturday. The league is a marathon without any specific focus, the League Cup final is another huge game, but facing Dundee away is exactly the kind of game a club who are chasing a treble often lose.
It was Dundee who knocked the Aberdeen bandwagon off its tracks. Given half a chance they will do the same to Celtic on Saturday.
Kenny McDowall must have felt a bit humiliated at being told he has to pick players on loan from Newcastle United, although clearly not humiliated enough to tell them to stuff the remainder of his contract.
Llambias’ instruction appears bizarre, but there’s always two sides to each story. If McDowall informed his chief executive that he would not use the players, for reasons other than sporting merit, Llambias may well feel justified in making the instruction.
This public shaming of Llambias, the board, and by extension, Mike Ashley, is another act in a dirty battle. Still, “It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business”, as Dave King almost said about Ashley yesterday.
Ashley’s men may be robbed of the ability to pick the team after an EGM next month, but he remains able to inflict a lot of ‘assistance towards the club’ before then. If I can paraphrase Tom Hagan, ‘Mr Ashley never asks a second favour once he’s refused the first, understood?’ When personal offence has been taken, sometimes even good business isn’t enough to bring a ruthless patriarch to the table.
When news of the attack on the 10-year-old boy broke on Monday I assumed it would be a matter of hours before the offender was charged. Three days on without news is concerning. It appears that those who associate with people who believe random violence is acceptable and care little about the application on justice – which has nothing to do with any specific policing issue.
Hard cash is now available to anyone with information leading to an arrest. If you can’t report the offender for the sake of the victim, do it for the money. You don’t need to be a witness to report the issue and collect the reward, you just need to know enough to get the ball rolling.
Well done to all who have gotten involved in the appeal to help the victim, especially organiser Rod Lee. Stunning work, Rod.

Maybe this is why llambias has denied McDowalls claims.
And yes I do know the SFA & SPFL dont do rules when dealing with sevco.
McDowall being a sleekit me thinks :))))
SPFL rule 65 states: “Other than as expressly provided for in the Rules and these Regulation, it shall not be permitted to stipulate when or against whom, a player temporarily transferred may or may not play and any such stipulation in any agreement shall be void and of no effect.”

GREAT – Keep it up.
Some fantastic whatabootery on here between Christians and atheists. What we can conclude is that at various times in history they have both been up to their necks in it suggesting that neither option has moral certitude.

I have read your right wing Labour rants on here for long enough.
When Kinnock became leader, there were almost 400,000 card carrying, subscription paying members, in addition to millions more affilliated through their Trades Unions. There are now less than 50,000. There are not enough bodies on the ground to conduct any meaningful campaign. Meanwhile the parliamentary wing of the TU movement, which the Labour Party was, has been hijacked by middle class careerist buffoons whose main interest is feathering their nest for their apres political career. Kinnock sorted out very lucrative EU jobs for his wife and son; just the kinda guy to lead a socialist party.
Don’t start me on Blair!
Kinnock got rid of socialists from the party and Blair stripped out Clause iv from the Constitution. Labour is now Tory lite.
Guys like you are the reason Labour is now unelectable.
The gains made for the working class were wrenched from the ruling class by trades unions, NOT the Labour Party.
Get some facts right before you come on here spouting pash. Moron!
I look forward to the DR’s headlines about a celtic fans/celtic community’s response to an assault on a kid on a bus

FAB,
It’s not whataboutery.
It’s really simple. None of the mainstream religions promote greed or murder, quite the opposite.
Why people would blame the religion, and not the men who use it as a smokescreen, is quite baffling.

Fantastic.
Well done Celtic – could they be learning?
Maybe?
Pedro-:)

Get yourself down that boozer
Good news about hoopslegend Kris Commons.
I hope he gets his boots back in time for Saturday
Macca on Snyde-‘ none of the players at Ibrox have been covering themselves in Gloria……’
Now I wasn’t looking forward to the January transfer window.
How wrong can I be?
KC signing on again.
GMS & Armstrong.
No VVD departure.
I guess credit where it’s due to Big Pete.
Only criticism is if Virgil & Denayer away in the summer, a quality CH would have been good to bed in before the qualifiers .
Is that being too picky?
Anyway, nice to see the Sevco war continues, hahahaha
Great news with kris signing great week
And were not finished yet
BT

Any news from compliance guy re elbows?
Hail! Hail!

Been lurking and taking a step back but my blood boiled over at AN’s diatribes. Sorry to deflect the blog in what has been a great few weeks to be a Celtic fan.
Brilliant news re KC and the new signings and our much maligned sieve defence, which has now gone 8 domestic games without conceding.

Great to see Kris staying. A lot has been made about him not fitting into Ronny’s style, but playing at pace isn’t always about running quickly. Sometimes it’s more about moving the ball quickly.

Don’t mind us…fill yer boots, lookin forward to Jim murph….sorry Alfie’s response.
Just thought I would put in my tuppence worth on religion the problem in my opinion is all religions have been started by men and have been run by men and all men are fallable hence they often fall short of what is expected.However. I believe the Bible is the God breathed truth and we should try as hard as we can to both follow and obey scripture.I believe there is a key question that we have to ask ourselves and that is where do we want to spend our eternity Heaven or Hell. I believe the choice is ours and scripture leads us to the correct path. H.H.
Lisa Hague signs two year contract – great news! And we get her man as well!
Congratulations to Kris and Lisa on signing a new 2 year contract and keep the goals coming Kris. H.H.
Anybody else think McDowell dosen’t give a flying duck about the huns now, when asked about the Newcastle 5 playing it came across as I’ve handed my notice in, if they want to pick the team that’s fine with me I’m only here for the ££££
Peace to all posters except those with actual names except Geordie Munro he seems like a nice chap.

Hun skelper…100%agreed…think he would love it if they just paid him off…in full…

Good evening all.
Great news about Kris signing again. Wooooooppeeee.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
KC signing sends out a timely signal that we do not need to sell or move on high earners. Won’t stop Keevins and his cronies trying to convince their ever-dwindling audience that we are in a bad way but it was ever thus.
Only downside of the January window was the failure to shed fringe players. Call me naive, but would the club be any worse off putting 6-7 of these players out on loan even if they still have to pay their wages? A players sitting in the stand week after week has no chance of raising their profile for a future sale.
What am I missing? Partick Thistle, Hamilton, Hibs and ICT would be delighted to get a couple of decent players in for free, no?
I think there’s a distinct possibility the questions at Kenny McTrowel’s press conference were pre arranged, and he was scripted in how to answer.
