If you live long enough you get to hear or read just about everything. Today some in the old media are telling us Celtic and Rangers (sic) are both chasing a soon-to-be out of contract Manchester United player. The way it used to work is an agent would fly into Glasgow to see Celtic or Rangers, and make sure the other club had an option on the player their rivals were pursuing.
Anyone who thinks Newco can rival Celtic for a footballer had better consult their medication. The rules have all changed, in Glasgow, we stand alone.
Final shout for the ITUC’s 22nd minute Fifa protest tomorrow.
Today’s CQteN raffle winner, of a signed Celtic strip, is John McDonald, from table 36. If it’s the John McDonald I’ve just emailed, congratulations… If not, we’ll find you.
Today is World Down Syndrome Day. For too long those with Down’ have been stigmatised, shown a lack of human respect, or worse. The ‘does he take sugar’ days were not so long ago. World Down Syndrome Day is a about raising awareness and changing our perceptions.
Have to say I’m enjoying the Aberdeen fans’ ‘Peter Pawlett Baby’ campaign. Human League’s ‘Don’t you want me baby’ has flown up the charts on the back of delirious Aberdeen fans, celebrating their position as one of Scotland’s top two. Crazy stuff like this is how football clubs grow.
For all those who have supported Marys’ Meals over recent weeks and months, here’s a cheery video from them, with a little help from Pharrell Williams.
Seville – The Celtic Movement is another cheery wee thing.
“Somewhere around 5am and Glasgow airport is only open for Seville flights and is a sea of green and white. I’ve 80 Euros, my passport, boarding pass and a ticket in my shorts, Celtic top on, no baggage of any description. The happiest queue of all time has formed.”

My son was explaining to me that there were a lot of Juanfrans playing Spanish fitba because guys called Juan Francisco tend to be called Juan Fran. I wondered why this did not happen with other regular combinations like Juan Carlos, then I saw the Betis player, Juan Carlos Lopez, whose shirt carries the name Juancar.
Do John-Pauls get called Jopa in Scotland?

Bus lane cash cow.
Glasgow bus lane camera is Scotland’s top earner
TODAY we expose a sneaky secret that’s made a bus lane camera Scotland’s top earner – at £1.6million.
Drivers leaving the NCP car park in Glassford Street, Glasgow, who turn right automatically incur a fine.
The city council put up a sign telling drivers to turn left but, as our pictures show, it is often blocked by buses.
The camera has nailed 52,923 drivers up to last Thursday.
Assuming every driver escaped with the lowest £30 fine, this equates to £1,587,690.
One motorist, who asked not to be named, told us: “Glassford Street is a two-way street but if you turn right out of the car park you can’t avoid going into the short strip of bus lane.
“To avoid a fine, a driver wanting to go that way must turn left and go round the block before arriving where they started. How is that saving the environment?”
The AA’s Paul Watters said: “Having a 500-space car park exiting on to a busy street with a bus lane can pose problems.
“At busy times, drivers exiting the car park, perhaps under pressure from those behind, risk getting it wrong.
“This is also made worse by the fact buses often hide the sign, by which time a driver may have already decided to turn right.
“It’s a traffic management headache aided by over-zealous cameras which sees every driver banged to rights.”
Neil Greig, of the Institute of Advanced
Motorists, said: “These cameras are supposed to stop drivers abusing the bus lanes and this one is clearly not doing that.”
The council said: “The bus lane on Glassford Street is clearly signposted.
“To gain entry, a motorist needs to cross a solid white line – which any driver should know is not permitted – as well as drive along a ‘red screed’ area which is clearly marked ‘bus and cycle lane’.”
