Aye, sure, Dick Advocaat would like to sign Virgil van Dijk for Sunderland. Of course he would, but Virgil is very unlikely to go to Sunderland for a host of reasons. Many clubs have made inquiries about Virgil but the player has an understanding with the club.
For a start, he’s going nowhere until after the Champions League qualifiers are over with, and even then, player and club have agreed that only approaches from tier-one clubs will be considered. No disrespect intended for Sunderland, but a haul of one cup in 79 years leaves them well off the pace.
The prospect of Celtic being interested in Steven Fletcher, as reported in The Herald this morning, is unlikely to make any difference. If Fletcher is wanted it will be for the qualifiers, there will be no quid pro quo.
Virgil has two years left on his contract and there’s little prospect of him extending his stay in Scotland, so if Celtic decide to listen to offers in late August it’ll do no harm having as many English clubs as possible bidding portions of their TV bounty for the player. So let Sunderland bid away.
You and I have been working on the whole Mary’s Meals project for a couple of years now. It’s not a big part of any of our lives, but what we’ve done is a big part in the lives of thousands of kids we’ll never know.
Reaching the 1 million kids fed each day figure last month has reinvigorated the charity. It’s a worldwide phenomenon but incredibly started here in Scotland.
At midnight tonight a couple of guys will start to walk the West Highland Way, 96 miles, a 17 thousand feet ascent. They hope to complete the journey within 24 hours.
You and I know that not every journey is completed on time, some, sadly, will never be completed……… but these two are close to hitting their £6k target figure for Mary’s Meals before they set off. Go and give them a a couple of pounds, help drive them on to complete the task. Every £1 you give will feed a child for a month. A month! Tell me you’re going to do something better today and I’ll not believe you.

‘Michael Kelly Formly of The Club saying on Twitter That Protests against the huns gathering in George Sq is Only Nats Attacking labour…Dont Think thats true, i would imagine some labour supporters aint to happy either…Just my Thoughts..’
###
I think it’s true that the nats are using this as a stick to beat Labour with, and that that is their prime motivation.
Given the origins of the SNP I find their mock outrage just a little hypocritical, though to be fair to them, most nats are as ignorant of their history as they are about most things, so perhaps I’m being a bit harsh in calling them hypocrites.
As I understand it if the Cooncil had refused the OO they would have gone to court and would most probably have won, leaving the people of Glasgow to pick up the bill for the legal expenses.
Moreover, whatever you think of the OO, they are part of the warp and weft of Scottish society, and in their attitudes towards Irish Catholic imigrants to Scotland you couldn’t put a cigarette paper between them and many founders of the SNP.

BSR,
Indeed.
Ronnie has no qualms about ditching anyone who is not committed.
Equally, if he thinks someone is vital to his squad, he will keep him to his contract.
His secret is, I think, that he can do these things without making an enemy of the player involved……and that is a special gift.
I also think that if he gives his word, then he will keep it….and he club will back him, as he is also speaking for the club.
Let’s hope conditions are unkind for orangefestering tomorrow. A good soaking of the sash bashers would go down very well and, failing that, an apparition of the Blessed Virgin wearing a Celtic scarf would be nice.
Just read there, wee Nicola thinks there should be a thorough. Investigation into corruption at fifa, to uphold the integrity of the beautiful game. Wonder what she thinks of the running of the beautiful game here. With regards to VVD celtic will have IMHO one hellava Job filling his boots. A backward. Step in the defence department for me. But when he does go, it should be for maximum money way beyond the ten million.
hope the james connolly day gets a good turn out in auld reekin tomorrow.
went to it a few years ago. excellent turn out that day
he would be turning in his grave at the GCC sash bash tomorrow in glasgow
though maybe he wouldnt be..
It’s good there’s stuff splattered all over the celtic shop window on argyle St it means there’s a monkey hun out there in so much pain that he’s willing to do it in broad daylight making everyone laugh at him even more. Lurking huns …..you know the drill. …….Aye. ……girfuy

Agree on the size of VVD’s fee.
Think, Celtic should be looking to break the price barrier here, with this SPL tag nonsense.
We can point to Wanyama, Ki, Forster as cut price bargains, these EPL clubs are so cash rich, there are hugely inferior CB’s going for vast sums.
I think Celtic will raise the bar for Scotland again when VVD leaves.
Another bond lined up for ‘Orangefest’:
Crosby,Stills and Sash.

An orange gathering in glasgow eh, as the rest of the world just shakes it’s head.
Goodnight Timland.

Andy Murray serving for the third set.
Thomthetim delighted if Ronny holds on to him no matter what is offered. Just saying to Lenny bhoy how strong this Ronny is.
Gudetti no pace not what is needed. Happy to see him go.
Parkheadcumsalford glad to see you are on the mend. Enjoy the weekend.

Mon Andy!
Orange fester as in a festering sore in our society.
Saltires if you are about.
You can get to Bearsden by using the lower level at Central and changing at Hyndland rather than going over to Queen Street from Central.
C’mon Andy, great finish to the third set
Thanks Andy Murray, gonnae be a late night here’ already wan o’clock.
Any info on the tie up with the Saudi team everyone was going mental at yesterday?
HH
So, no word from the new sevco bored……ming, the Quiet Man ……. Hahahaha …..I think we’re looking at administration, in an attempt to ‘lose’ all the debt …..that’s why they haven’t launched the SB sale……they don’t want to lose all the money to the administrator, and will, therefore, delay it until they come out of admin again …..anyway, I haven’t thrown my sedatives away, just in case ….. hahahahahahaha
