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.

‘Update via bbc on the missing two…..
Ferguson and Mbabu are expected to arrive in Glasgow in the next few weeks after recovering from injuries’
Shane Ferguson from Londonderry canny be up for that surely?
A bit squirmy watching Mc.Dowell’s reprise of the Nuremberg Trials…..” I was only obeying orders”.

Hail! Hail!

Winning captains.
Look. I have never for a moment doubted Paul’s credentials as a celtic fan and as a great human being. Not for a moment.
I was a bit horrified when he was subject to abuse (and he said his family was ) when we were previously in a heated debate. It was of course never my intention. I apologised to him at CQteN. But i can’t be held accountable for the stupid.
As you know I have nothing but admiration for you and those who brought the advert forward and I am a bit ashamed I missed the boat on that one.
But I think Paul was probably manipulated by the media last weekend as you suggested. I know he wants to appear reasonable etc. but here’s the thing. We need to stand resolute against the scottish media. You need only see the mental propaganda being peddled after the game. I think he tried to hard.
Paul if you are reading I apologise for my betrayal rant. But I do think you let them dictate to you. You are better than that.
Originalsadiesbhoy I have absolutely no problem praising celtic when they do so,etching right. Sadly it’s all too rare. I libpve in hope they realise the error of their ways.

Next weds edition of Scottish Review deals with some of the issues you are on about re sectarianism.

Petec my friend. Keep the faith.
Eddie sorry I couldn’t find anything in your link…
Next weds edition mate, my mate Gerry Hassan is writing an article for that edition.
A Croatian football star says his team are losing matches because he can no longer commit fouls since finding God.
Hajduk Split defender Goran Granic has come in for a storm of criticism for abandoning his trademark hard tackles on opponents.
But Granic has now revealed his Catholicism is behind his softer style of play.
He told daily newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija, ‘I’m so devoted to God now that I have started to avoid committing fouls during matches. God has created football for fun and relaxation. He would not like players to commit harsh fouls.’
He added, ‘I could probably have saved some key goals during the season, including in the Champions League qualifying games, if I had committed fouls to stop players scoring.’
Hajduk Split are reigning Croatian champions but this season they failed to qualify for the Champions League and are currently fifth in the Croatian league.

Vmhan,
tried to show him the error of his ways,
lets hope Tricloured Ribbon doesn’t see it
or there will be a riot
Pete, I wouldn’t bank on Mr Neg turning up to buy you that pint. He’s a bit unreliable on the turning up front.
I’ll buy you one. You can be abshlootlie shoor of that.
EddieK, are you filming your pyromaniac stunt. I’d like to see that.
Between you trying to set yourself on fire and the Minx setting HT up for being scraped of the hallowed turf wi a pizza slice, I’m wondering what’s coming next.

I’m going to be hugging that BHOY for Scotland, we had an amazing Time previously at a hootenanny.
I go a bit Crazy at Times.

On Kris Commons signing I’m happy for him and his family that they have another two years life in an environment they clearly enjoy to look forward to.
I’m also happy that his form is beginning to return so that he justifies inclusion and that his luck turned with that in off at Ross County because before then his luck was all bad.
So a rewarding rest of season to look forward to.
In respect of the additional 2 years contract awarded it goes into the “We’ll see” category.
Much will depend on the terms but if his form shades in 12 months time remember the collective delight at today’s news.
( Of course no one will)
Petec,
did DD talk to you about Saturday,
are you ok to pick me up where I suggested
