The narrative was set for Aberdeen. After six consecutive league wins without losing a goal, their bubble was burst when they drew with Dundee and St Johnstone, but it hasn’t turned out that way. They have scored 10 and not conceded in the three league games since. Out of the Scottish and League Cups, their entire focus is on beating teams less resourceful than them in the league, which is everyone apart from Celtic.
Despite Celtic’s impressive ability to collect points dating back several months, Aberdeen are hanging in there, a remarkable achievement. The only thing which separates the teams are Celtic’s two 2-1 wins in their previous meetings this season. From Saturday afternoon Aberdeen’s complete focus will be on their visit to Celtic Park on Sunday.
By contrast, Celtic will return to Glasgow early Friday morning after their trip to Milan. They will face Aberdeen pretty much as that trip leaves them.
If I was offered a win and a defeat this week, I’d take the win in Milan, but we will need enough in te tank for Sunday’s game.
Thanks to everyone who booked a ticket over the weekend for the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner on Friday on 13 March at the Kerrydale Suite. Anyone still to catch up, let me know, celticquicknews@gmail.com

I see that one of the Chelsea mob from Paris [the ex RUC Officer] ,is the director of a Human Rights Company………..you couldnae make it up……….
From what I’ve seen of ronny d thus far I think his message at the weekend (regardless of the inter result) will be……beat aberdeen and you will……….
………have secured 3 important points in the league.

As someone stated earlier, we are all attracted to the club for different reasons.
For me it is very important that we are a club open to all.
So I like to see this kind of Initiative from Celtic
CELTIC Park celebrated the Chinese New Year on Sunday and the club welcomed a number of important guests to the stadium as part of the celebrations.
Huazhong Zhang, Deputy-Consul General at the Consulate General of China in Edinburgh (pictured above, left), and Limin Zhang (right), also Deputy-Consul General, the Consulate General of China in Edinburgh, met Celtic Chief Exectuive Peter Lawwell before the game. And he presented the guests with a special Celtic shirt to mark the occasion.
He also made a special shirt presentation to Lui On Lee (right-hand picture, second left), Chairman of the Confederation of Chinese Association in Scotland, Thomas Ho (left), First Vice Chairman of the Confederation of Chinese Association in Scotland, Teresa Wan, Chairman of the Confederation of Chinese Women Association in Scotland, and Andy Chuang, Chairman of the Euro Chinese Golf Association, all of whom were also invited to Celtic Park on Sunday as guests of the club.
And around 1,000 Chinese students currently studying in Scotland were also at the stadium to see Celtic beat Hamilton 4-0.

‘ My love affair with Celtic was born of its openness to all and its support for the underdog. Both are Celtic values I hold dearly.’
You really should meet WESTWALESCELT. His background re how he became a Celtic supporter-and an über one at that-had me choking on my pint!
I was a proud Scot,of Scots/Irish heritage,in the company of an Englishman,and in the capital of Wales.
Listening to a Tale of the Unexpected!

Further to WC’s response, had an e-mail from Celtfish advised me that Tickets being posted out on 03rd March.
Right back to the grind.
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Nothing about the huns charge on BBC Shortbread News @ 1.30, and Sky Sports News must have ran out of yellow ink,when reporting it too………I read last week that Lambias’ PR Company has Sky as a client………

Sorry we didn’t hook up on Thursday.
Hope you get a Celtic win or 4-4 draw for your birthday.
If the charge was their language being racist and sectarian they’d probably get off on a technicality, the sectarian part being only banter.

‘Catholicism is better expressed in church than as a terrace chant’
###
Perhaps.
But that’s not what you’re arguing.
You’re arguing that Catholicism should ONLY be expressed in church.
I’m not really fussed about the Soldier’s Song personally, however regardless of which language it is sang – the Celtic support sing it best.
Most Cringeworthy and disrespectful is All-Ireland football and hurling finals, seems to be interrupted earlier every year. The sing it in Gaelic, well the first half of the song anyway.
HH.
Has the fact Raith decided to sell the tickets themselves been mentioned?

I thought Scott Brown was as good as i have seen him in a Celtic jersey yesterday,head and shoulders above the rest,it could be the introduction of Bitton ,which has helped him be a bit more consistent of late.After the Euro Qualifiers ,if Scotland don’t qualify,i hope he retires and we will get the benefit in future seasons.
Bobbio
Hopefully one day!

Ralston stated that the message about sectarian ,offensive singing put out by Stan was correct,but he was the wrong person to do it as he had around 20 years ago had a spat with Ulrika.

Goodluck with the project.
Sure to be good album with that line up.
!BADA BING!
I comment on loads of stuff,like Israel/Palestine or Grexit or US Republicans despite never having lived there.
I post clips to recordings by artists,despite not being in the studio at the time the track was laid down.
Etc.
Their whataboutery is stretching credibility beyond breaking point,as I suggested earlier. Every straw that floats past is grabbed while they try to shoot the messenger.
They’re stuffed on this and they know it. Blindsided by an unexpected attack from an enemy they did not know they had,but who has done them in one fell swoop.
Nice one,Stan. Nice one,son.

What happened ,did your phone die?
I called a couple of times but no response
BTW ,had I met up with you you may have prevented me from getting a taxi from the junction of London rd /Springfield rd to the Celtic Social club all of a 30 secs journey :-)
Does Mickybhoy work that patch?
For those who think Chelsea fans are just the same as Sevco`s, can you imagine a response from Ibrox anything like the response from Chelsea? Their Manager came out strongly against the racist behaviour; their Captain did likewise; their Club officially disowned them and their supporters held banners condemning those involved.
What have we heard from Ibrox re the recent ( well, 100 years or so) behaviour of the supporters of either version of their Club?

‘Doesn’t belong’?
How apt.
I like it when the Celtic support sing hymns
TBB,
Nearly had me going there!
BSR,
I’m probably wrong, but I don’t think you can sing the Spanish National anthem, as it doesn’t have and words.
You can hum it, though, except maybe in Catalonia! : > )
Inter v Celtic K.O.18.00 CP time.
I’d say that poor ethnic fellow in Paris should consider himself lucky to have encountered a former RUC member, and been able to walk away in one piece, able to tell the tale.
It’s a wonder the peeler didn’t shoot the poor bloke dead.
That shower would have given the Gestapo a run for their money.
They were bad, seriously.

I thought so too, which is why I wrote it.
You think it is an expression of faith to add that line to a national anthem?
Does it ‘belong’ there then and did the Irish miss a trick in not seeing that is where it ‘belongs’?

No words along with those of Bosnia and Herzegovina and San Marino.

Can one whistle in sectarian?

I understand your love of your anthem,particularly in your native language,and the displeasure you must feel when it is rendered incorrectly.
But,as I said earlier-and HAMILTON TIM and a fair few others have also pointed out-those days are largely gone. It is sung correctly by the vast majority.
We canny sing it in Erse/Gaelic,we can only sing it in English. And some of us struggle with that. I’m proud of my Irish heritage,I’m proud that I know an increasing amount-thanks largely to this site-of the pain my ancestors endured.
I’m proud that when my Dad and his pals founded a supporters bus in Ardrossan 45 years ago that you wurnae allowed on unless you knew the rebs back to front.
I think you are wrong to take the anthem of a free Ireland for your own and deny it to anyone else. A free Ireland came about as much because of those Irish people who lived elsewhere as it did for those on the frontline.
Watch out nationalist( scottish) out in force again talkin shit ,they should just beggar off ,after all over 70% of the registered voters did not vote for salmond and his boyfriend sturgeon in september,tartan tories routed
Glasgowdave
No worries..cheers for sharing
LePetomane could probably sung it in Erse
All this talk of a a free Ireland.
Imagine a Wee Free Scorland.

Possibly. My phone seems to dislike Celtic Park. It froze at the game yesterday. Like me and the rest of the crowd. :)
