The document from Uefa to the Resolution 12 team, which emerged online over the weekend, is genuine. The headline part of this correspondence was always going to be Uefa confirming that whatever errors or omissions on the part of Old Rangers and the SFA’s Uefa vetting process, no further action was possible as New Rangers are a “new club/new company”.
Priceless, I know, but a delightful wee surprise, though it was, the status of Newco Rangers wasn’t the purpose of Resolution 12. Res 12 was about SFA process and accountability.
There was a great deal of correspondence with media figures since the letter was produced. It’s probably worthwhile noting the chronology of correspondence:
Uefa wrote to the Res 12 team on 6 June, copying the SFA and Celtic. After this date Grant Russell at STV asked Uefa for an update and received pretty much the same information that was sent to the Res 12 guys, without the supporting “new club/new company” line.
You may be of the view that after receiving the 6 June letter, the SFA could have asked Uefa not to offer such information in future (the layers of this story are endless). We’ll never know, but the horse had already bolted.
As correspondence on Res 12 continues, the team decided not to attempt private conversations with Uefa while making correspondence public, which is why this leak didn’t come from the Res 12 team. But I’m glad it’s out. It’s the definitive and irrefutable reference point on the status of Newco Rangers, and it’s on Uefa headed notepaper.
I don’t expect I’ll be goaded about Res 12 online as often going forward.
While we’re on the subject of the SFA: Craig Thomson, take a look at yourself. You know this is not good enough. Your decision-making this season has been atrocious. James Forrest booking, for staying several yards away from the crowd after scoring a goal, was ludicrous, capping a multitude of errors this month.
If only people at the SFA were accountable. Which brings us back to the point above.
Getting nervous about tomorrow. So much on the line……

Reading have completed the signing of Manchester United defender Tyler Blackett on a three-year contract.
Jaap Stam isn’t going to last long.
Ooooooofttt.
That’s gotta sting.

Definitely finishing up for the night. Had hoped the blog might have gone at least marginally more on the game tomorrow and less on the previous week. At my age even looking back a week instead of a day forward is just a waste of time…. Will engage tomorrow in my usual happy clappy style :)
No need for Celtic to make any comment,they make it quite plain where their priorities are,as lifted from their social mission statement
Our key priority areas are to:
1. Improve Health
2. Promote Equality
3. Encourage Learning
4. Tackle Poverty
Our priority focus will support areas based on the need surrounding our home within the city of Glasgow in the first instance.
Thereafter, our main geographical areas of support, in order of priority are:
The North and East of Glasgow
Greater Glasgow, Inverclyde and North Lanarkshire
Scotland, Ireland and the rest of the UK
Rest of the World, with an emphasis on Asia and Africa
However, each project will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and we will always focus our attention where our efforts are best served, primarily supporting the geographical areas listed above

Anyone got the text or a link to where Celtic FC condemned the flag protest?
Would just like to see the wording used as many times that can tell you more than what is actually written.
Thanks in advance.
Did i mention that the#MatchTheFineForPalestine is at £70,389
Magnificent.

LOL, not quite what I meant, but I see your point. Lol. Yer bhoy has been a constant friend to me and mrsweefra for 2+ years now, and I was priveleged to meet up with him last year at CP. I was also priveleged to meet one of you beautiful daughters, but I cannot, for the life of me, remember which one it was. Leslie rings a bell. You must be so proud to be the FAITHER FIGUR of wonderful offsprings. HH cheers.

It’s been a successful weekend for you eh ?
Saturday defaming Celtic supporters for having an opinion; Sunday proving yourself to be a liar; Monday shamed as a bigot.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s revelation,……….you’re not Chris Graham perchance :-)
Still to find anything regarding Celtic showing Solidarity with any particular group……

A very admirable sum raised indeed but when are you expecting the other 48,0000 that were at Celtic Park the the other night to watch a football match
Obvious troll. Scroll past and do not feed.
to cough up
Looking forward to tomorrow’s game. Feeling nervous. Will probably increase throughout tomorrow in the build up to kick off. I’m desperate for us to qualify for the group stages and really hope we can see the tie through. I’ll leave the team selection to Brendan and hope that everyone plays to their capabilities. Read comments from Kolo’s Toure earlier on Facebook and he seemed positive, talking about how all of the players were determined to fight to win through. Fingers crossed.
I hope all of our players are fit for the game and that we can avoid injuries. I also hope that our travelling supporters enjoy themselves and don’t get caught up in any trouble with the locals.
Hail! Hail! and goodnight to all.

Are you implying that Celtic FC’s silence on the condemnation of the flag protest is indicative that they are somewhat unhappy the entire stadium didn’t join in?
That is a strange thought indeed, and one to ponder.
Thanks for the heads up on that one, it never occurred to me.
You could very well be correct and on the money here.
Only a fool would be in denial to imagine that while Celtic Officials are in Israel that the matter will not be discussed with UEFA officials on what the Club can do to deal with certain groups of supporters who have consistently refused to abide with UEFA rules
BCW…
Thank you…what impressed me was the fact that the author Amira Hass, tells the stories of ordinary people’s every-day lives…the other book that I love is Naji al-Ali’s ‘A Child in Palestine’…
A series of political cartoons featuring Hanthala, a small destitute boy, always with his back to the viewer, observing Israeli cruelty and Arab hypocrisy…very endearing. His image is on walls all over Palestine…

By my reckoning assuming we see out the tie in Israel and go through, this would be the first time we have qualified for the CL through a decisive qualifier where the 2nd leg was away from home.
Qualified and All 2nd legs at Celtic park-
Ajax 2001
Mtk Hungaria 2003
Spartak Moscow 2007
Helsingborg 2012
Shakhter Karagandy 2013
Automatically qualified for CL-
2004
2006
2008
Did not qualify-
2002 (Basel, 2nd leg away)
2005 (artmedia, 2nd leg home)
2009 (arsenal, 2nd leg away)
2010 (Braga, 2nd leg home)
2011 did not enter CL qualifiers or groups
2014 (Maribor, 2nd leg home)
2015 (Malmo, 2nd leg away)
It’ll be breaking new ground for Celtic to confirm CL qualification on another team’s turf in Europe. Bring it on!

Coming to think of it i believe you are correct, how could all those flags have been smuggled into the ground? Especially that huge flag on the pole at the front of the Tifo?
Underground tunnel?
Maybe it was the mythical Unseen Fenian Hand doing it sterling work again?

Well, just because an issue is complex doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be discussed, as long as it can be done in an informative and civil manner. Yet as far as your wider point regarding using a Football match as a platform for this I wouldn’t disagree with your stance
Interestingly enufff I noticed the dangers you warn off in regard to Complex issues, manifest itselt on CQN t’uther day… a quality CQNer used some WWII turmoil in the Balkans to undermine the Palestinians.
He suggested the Palestinian Leadership of the time, acted as recruiting Sargents for the SS. For me it looked like he got sucked in by Lazy propaganda. It disapointed in two ways…
Firstly it failed the put the background and the Complex Balkan/Palestinian Muslim issues in any meaningful context.
Secondly it failed to state that the unit in question was a Division of the Waffen SS
By distorted implication, it associated the Palestinian Leadership and by extension the Baltic Muslims with the worse excesses of Nazi Germany.
A case of misrepresenting a Complex issue to put your agenda forward IMO…

Am no worried about Graig Gordon….he has been through it….and come out on top ….he was a no cost signing. ….and he produced the goods…the back four are no more …so he has had that as well…but he is a braw player…competition will make him sharper….but at least he knows he is at a real fitba club….no Hertz and no the Maccums… And he is well hoopy….you all saw him with his family….that is a hoopy man…
Might have not been raised a Celtic man….but he has grown into a braw Celt..
Like many many braw Celts before him….

Just a thought but maybe just maybe the club have made no statement on condemning the flag display because they are well aware that should they do so,the perpetraitors (DSM) will try to heap further embarrassment on the club before the disciplinary hearing
I imagine that you see the clubs silence as a sign of support
