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.

Could this be a plan?
1.Refer to Takeover Panel
2.Takeover Panel rules that 3 and 4 bears and others are working in concert with shareholding over the required level and they need to make offer to buy all shares.
3. Price is highest in last 12 months =24p per share
4. Called out but don’t have enough cash to buy out so have to withdraw?
Just a thought.

Paul played an active, yet discrete part in drafting the text for the Sunday Herald advert.
It was discrete because other people insisted he take a bit of a back seat as there is an inevitable outpouring of abuse when CQN is active in these matters – and not just from the usual sources.
The Statement called them out on the club continuation myth and called for an end to the Old Firm tag. If you look at the Celtic View – the official club magazine – this week you will not see the Old Firm term mentioned. If they ever come to play us at Celtic Park they will be called Rangers but there will be no mention of the previous club’s history and no mention of the Old Firm. That’s where we are at.
From this you should be able to – as a reasonable man – assume that Paul’s position is quite clear and is consistent with the Statement. It is also consistent with the Celtic position. He is no Old Firmist.
On a separate matter what is your opinion on the new arrivals this week and the good news today (as previously predicted!) re Kris getting his new deal? Credit where it is due?
