In recent weeks hundreds of you have contributed to our Mary’s Meals project to build a school kitchen in Malawi for the 1221 pupils who are enrolled at the Kholoni Primary School in Mchinii, and then for the 746 pupils at St Joseph’s Primary in Kasungu.
The £7000 required for the first school reached Mary’s Meals some weeks ago and the building was opened and serving meals yesterday.
Here it is:
We have a lot to do today but there is an excellent chance that the £7000 required for St Joseph’s will be raised and in Mary’s Meals account before 470 of us sit down in the Kerrydale Suite for the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner tonight.
Here’s what you’ve done. You have funded two facilities which between them will feed 1967 children, all of whom live below the UN measure of absolute poverty, in the 17th poorest country in the world.
Most days, for almost all children, this will be their main meal, it will often be their only meal. As a result, they will attend school in greater numbers, 30% greater, if they are an average Mary’s Meals, Malawi, school. They will gain a better education and have better opportunities in life. They will build stronger bodies, more able to resist infection. Child mortality will fall.
The spirit of Brother Walfrid, of Celtic, is alive within you. You can get involved here.
See you at the party!
Seville, The Celtic Movement, launches tonight.
“CNN reported that on the day before the game 3% of the earth’s flying population were all headed for Seville and were sporting a Celtic scarf – a statistic that no sector of industry could ignore and which would change the policy of many airlines as a result.”

MEETING SANDY EASDALE AND THE DATA PROTECTION ISSUE
Many have asked why I approached Sandy Easdale after the match on Wednesday and due to even further threats of court action, I believe its time to share with the Rangers family exactly what drove me to do this.
Weeks ago when we first received correspondence from layers on the instruction or Mr Easdale, it was via email and arrived one Monday afternoon. The letter was in regard to posts by third parties on this page and we done as requested by the lawyers. Two days later my mother phoned to say a letter had arrived at her home for me.
Like lots of other season ticket holders with multiple family season tickets, all our tickets go to one address and in our case it’s my parents home as its easier to manage the renewals and continuous card requests etc.
The letter that had been sent to my parents address was surprisingly a copy of the letter I had received via email two days earlier. Mr Easdales (not Rangers) lawyer had somehow sent a letter to an address that to the best of my knowledge only Rangers have for me. How bizarre.
I asked the lawyers on several occasions to explain how they came by my address and was instructed that due to “client confidentiality” they could not disclose how they came by it. If they unable to give me this information as to protect their client, then it’s fair to assume this information must have been passed to them by their client. If their client gave them my parents address, where did he obtain it from? There is only one possible source I can think of.
Jack Irvine called me in the middle of all this and I advised him of my issue, he refused me the opportunity to speak directly to Mr Easdale regarding this and informed me Graham Wallace would be my best point of contact. I emailed Mr Wallace with my concerns and he set up a meeting. I met Mr Wallace two weeks ago and he advised me that an investigation had taken place and he found no evidence that the address was leaked from Ibrox. When I informed him that the address was in fact not mine but my parents and I was aware of no other organisation that had it as my address, his body language changed somewhat.
So Rangers have my contact address as my parents, Sandy Easdales lawyer receives my parents address from their client thinking its mine and no one can explain how this happened. The fact that they knew that I sat in a specific seat in a stadium of 30,000+ season ticket holder is not lost on me either.
Fast forward to Wednesday night. As I was getting set for the match I received another email on my phone from Mr Easdales lawyer asking for my current address. I replied saying they had no need for it as they can correspond via email and as far as I was concerned had no outstanding issues. During the half time break I checked my emails and found another claiming they would send sherriff officers to obtain my current address. Sheriffs officers could only obtain my current address by visiting my parents address as it the only one they have. You can maybe imagine how I felt at half time knowing a Rangers directors lawyers where sending sheriffs officers to my parents house who are both in their 70’s. Hence the reason I visited the directors box at full time.
When I confronted Mr Easdale with this newly found information and explained that this had crossed a line his response was that I to had also crossed a line and got personal. When I asked him to elaborate he stated that “I took the piss” and even slagged his hair on our facebook page. He confirmed that any libellous comments had indeed been made by others but his problem with me was that even my public apologies “took the piss out of him”. I will leave it to the reader to decide if further future court proceedings are based on him being upset about what others write or indeed the sarcastic manner of my writings.
I asked him to consider getting his lawyer to confirm in writing that no such visit to my parent’s house would take place and he said he would see what he could do. What he did do was to instruct his lawyers to issue further proceedings which I received yesterday and these are the basis of today’s Daily Record article.
To the fellow fans who asked me yesterday to comment on why I approached the directors box, I hope you understand why I didn’t make it public knowledge then, I was giving Mr Easdale the opportunity to do the right thing. The right thing in his eyes was to instruct his lawyers to send even more threatening letters which included arrangements for court proceedings at the court of session.
I have no desire to take Rangers to court or indeed involve innocent employees who may have been forced in to giving out protected data. If I did wish this I could have made this information public weeks ago. I feel I need to state my point now to defend my actions on and since Wednesday’s game.
Aye ready,
Craig.

Sandy has lovely hair for a man of his age……,
I think he should keep his chins up….
All three of them!!
Do you think Craig Whyte would win a bulgy eyes competition with James Easdale?
Great night, as expected.
Paul played a blinder. Carrying a heavy cold, and having been at his grandmother’s funeral today….over and above the call of duty.
Here’s to Ten Years More!

If this is state of the current hun (geddit),I seriously yearn for it`s preservation as a source of ongoing opportunity for humour at it`s expense.
Anything for a laff.
Long live the hun………………..
————-Give me excess of it ,that surfeiting ,the appetite may sicken and so die………
In the meantime,let`s all laugh at Rangers………………….
Celtic.
Ours.
Never mind that there is no bank account.
Never mind that the IPO money has been spent
Never mind that their wage bill is outrageous for their division
Never mind that the stadium is falling apart
Never mind that a South African carpet bagger has eyes on the clumpany
Never mind that they have broken the law, the rules and the bank
Never mind that they are dead
Respect the director’s hair

10 in a row, here we come.
Absolutely brilliant night huge well done to everyone who arranged it!
Was brilliant meeting up with old friends and meeting many many new ones!
CQN is indeed a very special place
Morning Celts, whits the Craic!
My head is nipping and I guess there are a few like me, but then it’s nipping in the right way, what a fantastic night, my regret was that I never got to chat with wee Oscars mam n dad, for them to attend was special. I was chatting with Zbyszek at the bar when BRTH spoke his name, through my deafness and Z’s :>) it eventually dawned on the Legia bhoy that he had to go up to the stage to receive a gift.
My gift to Mr Z which was alcoholic ,was not allowed in on the night, it was for my Polish friend and was bought at CP, a shame that wasn’t part of the presentation, instead I spent all night attempting to align kicking out time with BT/ mr Z ….. We got there in the end,
Which reminds me of a chat with BRTH last night, there is a wee part of the CQN story missing re bringing Kano home and I’ll put something into words for BRTH to do what he does best lol, he was a master of ceremonies last night and the character to boot …….. Ye get it?

Lisa Hague what a change to see a footballers partner like her
Yesterday she tweeted that one of her New Year resolutions was to travel on a supporters bus to a Celtic away Game
Lisbon Lions CSC got in touch with her and she went to game tonight with Kris Dad on the Lisbon Lions Bus
Kris scores 3 goals as she watches, seemingly she was jumping about crazy when he got 3rd. What great lass and brilliant to see.
Keep the Faith..
