Talk of trebles can disappear over the space of 90 minutes, and Ronny Deila will be forced to learn new patter if his team cannot regain the edge which was lost on Wednesday night at Celtic Park. The challenge will be all the greater for the absence of cup-tied Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven, with others, including Kris Commons and Emilio Izaguirre.
Dundee United have fallen apart in the last few weeks, the departure of Armstrong and Mack-Steven has probably had something to do with this, which means they will be hurting. Make no mistake, Celtic harmed their season by signing their best two players five weeks ago. United will have an edge to them.
Just loving the celebrations that one of the world’s richest 400 people no longer controls a Scottish football club. He still controls pretty much all profitable revenue streams, and holds security over assets, but he’ll no longer be asked to provide loan players, or loan cash. They have swapped an ‘off the radar’ wealthy man for a glib and shameless liar.
Ashley repulsed many. He was the archetypal fox let into the Ibrox hen house. The juxtaposition of Celtic announcing a £29m shirt deal with New Balance, rights Ashley bartered for £1 at Ibrox, gives you an idea of how impaired newco are. But allowing him to walk off with all those revenue streams, without the responsibility of running football operations, which will always lose money, is inexplicable.
I know people in the game who were concerned about having an opponent with the resources of Ashley. That blocking SFA decision was crucial. I don’t know anyone concerned about King, in fact, there is quiet delight at how things transpired.
Farewell Big Mike, thanks for all your work.

Pretty much nail on head…..even if they succumb to admin, a way will be found to keep them up. Pro bono publico etc… However I fear the fix is already in, the charade is just being played out.
the Ayebroke Laudry is now open for your dirty cash …come one come all…

Just finished listening to SSB,whilst doing the dishes and ir appears to me that the new criteria are; not a manager but a coach,not a Sevco man,not ‘in the square’, and a foreigner (like dahlia according to Archie! Tho I thought that was what I had in the garden but they might be chrysants!) So ,some non Sevco ,non Masonic,able to coach donkeys punter with a name that disnae have two surnames ? How about Inosabootcuddies from Billy Smart’s Ciircus? Problem solved
@Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo
100% agree. The whole charade is aimed at reinstating the 2 club model, regardless of the current, competitive and financially self-sustaining reality. All the clubs have been complicit in this deception including our own.
We seem to be happy to accept a lack of governance, cheating and naked bigotry at all levels in Scottish society.
Keevins…king has already lost £20 million and is ready to lose another twenty…wtf is he drinking?

Sucking the cooking sherry out of one of his daughter’s wedding cakes?
Awe Naw. I agree with you thats why I think any football supporter with any sense wont pay there hard earned cash to tune into the cheating yet again.If you pay your money and it is your money after all you will see more of the same. H.H.
Is Peter telling anyone thinking of wearing an Easter Lilly not to attend Celtic Park next month ? Will I be turned away if I wear one ?
praecepta,
The succulent p**h is in overdrive now.
Are you making next Friday?

Tottie Beck.
Scored a very good goal for St Mirren v The Deady Bears.The Deady Bears then did their usual and bought him.
*heard round about the time signed for them from a very good source that he was the highest paid player in the land at the time and the Buddies wanted shot of him and his salary, he wisnae that good.
Around that time John Lawrence had land he needed rezoned for residential housing in the Paisley area. So a deal was done for the deid team to take beck off of St. Mirren’s hands for the land deal to go ahead.
BTW for what it’s worth the same JL had a granddaughter who was a boarder at Notre Dame Convent School in Dumbarton and it was not unknown for him to drop in and see her on his way to Craigendoran giving the SND an iron lung.

If there is the remotest chance of it offending a corporate sponsor, the answer is yes.
Hugh now sayin The Liar is putting another 20m in
What an A*** Li****
Does he have to get public transport home tnite rather than thumb a lift ?
Miserable.csc
Syd, did that bomb blow up that parade you mentioned, or was a warning given. Oh, that’s right, they were executed without trial or attempt at arrest, so we will never know exactly what they had planned. Killing unarmed black people is called murder, is it only in the US that killing unarmed people is called that?
Totally impressed how the Gers are knocking the ball about in high winds at Palmerston v Falkirk in this Scottish Cup tie , the new regime having an immediate impact
Canny understand why they gave away home advantage…
Wait a minute even the cops are throwing their hats into the ring
Bizarre stuff
Tontine Tim. I thought Beck wasnt a bad player he was an International as well. H.H.
Still talking about a daft wee new lower league club?
Somebody should give the anti Celtic media £3000odd to place an advert in a paper saying this daft wee new club is a new club Celtic people are not interested in. While we are all saying we don’t read papers any more.
Any news on the injuries to Commons and Izzy?
GSL, Mike Ashley here
Can you please deposit £100k per week into Sports direct account – – – – – – for use of Sports Direct training centre ( formally known as Murray Park)
Oh, and while I’ve got you, also £100k for every home game being played, if you want to use the Sports Direct Car Park ( formally known as Albion Car Park), if not, your super duper Club Deck will remain closed
Speak later when we are doing another new kit
Ok , speak later :-)

I’m not discussing this any more as this site is not the place for this kind of thing.
praecepta,
Good, hopefully catch a beer at some point in the night, fair enjoyed listening to what went on during our bad time and how it was played.
Then again I’m fair enjoying how the huns are being mis-played :)
You’re young minders certainly look after you. HH
JFH
I dont want to damage any further what we have and what makes us special. After so many years though ,watching our plc operate, you come to the concluson that money is all they will listen too, nothing else, and nothing else matters.
What I dont get however is being a proud fenian bastard has done nothing but open doors for me globally. Except Scotand of course, and when I ws at my prettiest ;-)
Ergo who are we trying to appease locally ? And Why ? Cake and eat it
as always
Not my identity, not representing me unfortunately…an Old dinosaur

Syd,
Sorry for delay, was sorting dinner, leave it at that?

Well for the next week we are going to use the same formula to raise money to fund the school kitchen which this year we are doing in the name of Brother Walfrid.
When Paul posts the photographs of the school kitchen later in the year the sign will say this:
‘For Brother Waldrid, from Celtic Quick News – more than a Blog.’

estadio nacional,
Their club died…the monkeys that support the reincarnation never…they need kept in check, the more I can put them down in work, the more I like it.
I think that will be the same for a lot that work day in and day out with them. HH
Orcs down 0-1 to Falkirk
Coupon looking good
Awe Naw. Like you im an old dinosaur and have had enough of the charade that is Scottish football.I at one time would have hoped Celtic and other clubs would have taken the chance to sort out Scottish football and make it a level playing field getting rid of any cheating.Of course at my age I should know you cannot get rid of cheating it is a matter of how much you will accept.Celtic with there silence for me have been and are complicit and cant see beyond revenue so it rumbles on. H.H.
sipsini
Will do – look forward to catching up with you.
H!H!
Someone mentioned today that ming had said he wouldn’t be funding sevco personally, moving forward, yet ssb are saying he will be (throwing away another) £20m on sevco this time ……..who’s telling porkies here……can’t be ming, he’s a “rainjurs fan”, after all ……and he wouldn’t tell lies …..what?
