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.

Theres is something not right,about the wee boy getting hit with a bottle on the bus,Firstly his dad needs to take a good look at himself for taking a ten yr old boy to game like that.This Media in this country will print a lot of negative storys regarding ,players, staff ,supporters.of Celtic Football Club.its been proven over the yrs that them liars .will do anything to damage our club. Our Club should have sent a message to them yrs ago,that enough is enough,Keevins was a easy target, the real culprits are the BBC Sports. Daily Record,The Sun .also as far as im concerened Radio Clyde and STV are pro Rangers,i just wish that someday they will all be told that they no longer welcome at Celtic.

As of this morning we know that Kenny McDowall is not picking these players, but he is just following orders.
They have to be in the Sevco team and that’s that.
However who is paying for them?
This morning sources informed me that RIFC/TRFC are paying the salaries of the five Newcastle lads.
Just like Big Mike’s ten mill these players came in two tranches.
First there were three and then the other two followed.
One of the latter pair was playing in an Under 21 match and he was told immediately after the game that he was going to Glasgow.
As a cousin of mine, who used to be in the US Marine Corps, might have said it was a FIGMO moment (Fuck It Got My Orders!) for the lad and there was no debate.
Now it has been unclear to me why these five lads are at Sevco.
However, I think we can take football development at Murray Park off the table.
Sources inform me that at least one of the NUFC lads expressed amazement at the lax nutritional regime at Sevco.
He was astounded to see a well-rounded first team player eating crisps at the training ground.
If they are not there to become better players for the EPL side then it is unclear what the utility function is for this quintet from Tyneside.
Do they improve the mighty Glasgow Sevco?
Perhaps.
However they certainly DO increase the wage bill.
Is that the plan?
Could that be Big Mike’s plan?
Are we now in an episode of this hilarious sitcom whereby Ashley has his guys empty the bank account just before Mr Dave gets the keys to the Big House?
Remember dear reader that the only money that is there is the £10m loan secured against the iconic and world renowned Albion Carpark as well as Edmiston House and that citadel of sporting excellence Murray Park.
Of course if my information is wrong and NUFC are paying the wages of these five fine fellows then, of course, the club (or the company) can get in touch with me and I will print a retraction and issue an apology.
