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.

Last night as I lay dreaming
My way across the sea
James Mangan brought me comfort
With laudnum and poitin
He flew me back to Dublin
In 1819
To a public execution
Being held on Stephen’s Green
The young man on the platform
Held his head up and he did sing
Then he whispered hard into my ear
As he handed me this ring
“If you miss me on the harbor
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me”
“This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured
Or hung, or crucified”
“It came down through the ages
It belongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
‘Till all mankind is free”
“If you miss me on the harbor
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me”
He swung, his face went purple
A roar came from the crowd
But Mangan laughed and pushed me
And we got back on the cloud
He dropped me off in London
Back in this dying land
But my eyes were filled with wonder
At the ring still in my hand
If you miss me on the harbor
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me
And if you miss me on the harbor
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me.

I thought it was Kiev too.
My doubts were because I thought they had a bigger stadium as this looks like an away tie picture. But then I found out we played them in Tblisi.
murray has eyes like Agent Whyte …..is that an OMEN ….. I predict Liquidation !!!!!!!

Billy Stark (the ghost) scored on his old firm debut in the Centenary season, the big man rolled one into the “coatbridge end” was never the Rangers end to us (they were Rangers back then)… I am sure we went onto win 3-0…. Big Starkie grew up one of them but was magic for us and a pure gentleman CeltIc = open to all
Most of them ended up bankers barristers and BBC producers

That stand at Tannadice had a name, which I can’t remember, but it was the steepest most God awful terracing that I can remember!!!
I’ll always support the team. I’ll question ability, tactics, application yada yada but for those 90 minutes it’s all about backing them.

Paul Murray earlier Today.. ‘Scottish football has gone backwards in the last few years.. ‘ What an arrogant barstard he is.. what has his shytehole of a club ever done for Scotland for Scottish football?? Scum.
Stuart Cosgrove on radio Scotland earlier today… ‘I’ve spoken to many oldco rangers fans who won’t be back, no matter the change of regime, they simply cannot accept what has gone on in the past’.

Yeah, I remember it being in Tblisi, but I think that’s the home tie and that’s the main stand with the old enclosure in front of it. That’s definitely Bobby in the centre of the picture. my old eyes aren’t so good now though.:)

It’s a return ticket….drop u off also :-)
Just watched Selma with the family. A decent show.

You are correct it was Billy McNeils first tussle with that teams Souness, who tried to break George McCluskeys leg at Easter Road, big Stark was brilliant for us, a very underrated runner from the midfield, ala Petrov.. ala Johansen, players that score score goals is always a good thing !

Your eyes are better than mine. I can’t make out a stand but it does look like Bobby M
Toi?

As a child you always went to the jungle, the old yins went to the Cellic end up the “back” as a kid it was as near to the halfway line as possible in the jungle, then walk round to the “coatbridge end” to try and jump on a bus home…. Even dogged the train to Carntyne and ran through the caravans and escaped out next to the Irn Bru factory…memories !
any how this is were im at…

celt55,
Yes, it looks like that photo was taken from the corner between the Jungle and the Celtic end. No sure who we are playing though.
Hail Hail.

I know I’m a broken record with this one but from Twitter earlier –
rangers need celtic to need rangers but celtic don’t need rangers.
Sleep tight.

Sorry I was on YouTube (that’s not a reference to jumping your brother!) :-)
That’s dead kind of you but I think there may be 4 of us. What time would you be passing Cumbernauld and if so is a small beverage permitted? :-)

The Butcher door kicking was after the 2-0 Scottish cup tie on 17/3/1991
10 celts beat 8 Thems.
The match was televised live and the impromptu carpentry was due to mr butcher’s frustration at the dismissal of 3 colleagues – all entirely justified.
Why else would the door kicking have been on telly?
The only other game it could be is the Scottish cup tie of feb 1990 when celts won 1-0 which was also live on TV.
It’s 100% DEFINITELY either of them 2 m8.
