Back in 1994, when our day of greatest need arrived, Celtic fans had already invested years in developing a recovery strategy in case the club faced extinction. A disparate group of “rebels” filtered out good ideas from bad, established a platform for recovery and ensured that when the hour came, one man was ready and able to walk into a branch of Bank of Scotland and deposit a large sum of money into Celtic’s account, while others rallied support and prepared for the recovery.
Those rebels eventually went their own ways as many of those who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Fergus McCann found allies in conflict didn’t make for friends in peacetime, but the rebels were united long enough to Save our Celts. Without their preparation, Celtic would have quickly gone into administration and who knows where thereafter.
Compare and contrast with Rangers in their hour of need. There is no preparation, no consensus of the willing, not even an acceptance that this is, in fact, an hour of need.

Why is there a reporter at Murray Park? It’s the equivalent of me putting on a condom and standing outside Beyoncé’s house

I doubt it Phil, Croatia about 90% Catholic!!!
Too quick for me rogue
Jelly legs!!!!!
It just keeps getting funnier and funnier. Does that mean they will have a player who doesn’t want to be there (so says craig whyte) and one they probably can’t afford to pay???????
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Has big Jellylegs just found out that Everton are only awarded an average of 3 penalties per season and has refused to sign as it will dramatically reduce his goals tally and value .
hail hail

If I were jellyfish I’d go to Liverpool
Mr Whyte has been given permission to speak to the Sheriff Officers!
Rouge – hilarious. Had to steal that for ma facebook page.
til laters
He will sign for Everton, but not until Mr Whyte gets his cheque book out. Top bombing from Jelavic.
Jabba’s long position as the self serving fulcrum for the levers of Ibrox power it’s ease over many serious derailment episodes to alter the weighted guage of hun opinion and quick restoration to full express rail speed a reconditioned engine of doubtful worth it’s wagonlit sleepers to their deserved terminal buffer hit carnage status.
Hail Hail Jabba…the Fat Controller.
new article posted.
What a remarkable day. I keep saying that all the stuff happening to the huns, we need to beware as we’ve seen it befor, aand lost the league regardless.
After today, I don’t think that applies. This is unprecedented for them.
Open question…
Why did the record choose today?
The answer will tell us much about how the next few months pan out as the wagons begin to circle.
Enquiries for Samaras.
M Wilson to decide Leeds or Bristol City.
Celtic trying hard to get Rasmussen out the door.
Molina deal depending on Celtic doubling offer. Celtic cooling their interest as moves down South starting to make some targets possible.

SSN say Jellyfish only left to ‘freshen up’ and will be back!
Sky- Jelavic has left the club and suspended negotiations, returning to
his hotel to think things over,
make of that what you will.
Alarm bells ringing in Ibokes

Sir Fred the shred is no more.
What next…Mr. Minty?
HaHa
Fred the Shred loses his knighthood,i wonder who might be next? An online petition might be helpful….
Fat Sally…on platform one armed with cattle prods and decree from Whytey that Jellylegs Must not be allowed to disembark the next arrived fast train from Liverpool.
Las Ranglers are not to be messed with.
Where’s the Fecking Money for Fecksake!!!
On the endles what if discussions we are all having
on newco and the spl, we can go round the houses on all the
possible scenarios.
Bottom Line
We must have faith in our club and our board to reflect the best interests of Celtic and reflect
the obvious combined will of the support to see that they pay a heavy price.
I for one have that faith and I am confident it has been a discussion topic in our board room on many
recent occasions.
We will get it right up them
mark my words

Afternoon Celts, what’s happening anything new?

“Jelavic off to Liverpool FC for talks……… ”
fer feck sake. jonny says: at 5:02 pm rangerstaxcase (are you allowed to cross refer?) that “post on cqn saying he is heading to Liverpool for talks”. Next it will be on the six o’clock news and SSB.
They don’t know they have been awe-nawed. You gotta tell them.
‘Cancelled and annulled’….over and out…fecked and finished.
The dignity of royal parsonage now gone. Las Rankers fear all their honours folding in similar disrepute.
What fecking kind of Tuesday is this..??

You are correct ,with the meltdown at Ibrokes we as football supporters have only been spectators thus far.The emergence of any newco is where our fight begins .
IMO the real buyers in this saga will be waiting in the wings for the tax burden to be dealt with and will be fully expecting their usual treatment from the SFA/SPL ,it is up to the rest of the Scottish football fans to make sure that no deals are struck ,if they are treated any differently than any other member club then we would all as well pack up and take up another sport to watch .
If the SFA/SPL allow ragers back into the spl then would they not be complicit in aiding ragers to avoid paying 50m in taxes and therefore be seen to be condoning it .
hail hail
so everybody on here is right and declan on here is wrong.why is it when some people on here have an opinion,they are classed as being a hun ,yesterday on here plenty of transfer talk .today not a peep why is that,but the same old tripe will come out after11pm to night we tried to get some deals done blah blah blah .
O Happy Day.
Not much new news of course, apart from the reporting body, and the wounded animal noises of scales falling off the close-set black eyes of some of the loyal. The ongoing denial, driven surely by dread and desperation…so enjoyable. The pathetic WATP Naebdy likes us bleatings of MBB.
Almost makes me wish I’d signed up for a FF login.
Jelavic back up the road in a cream puff, seeing out the season Marco Negri-stylee would probably seal the day for me.

Hmmm…..’Forfeiture’, what a lovely word.
Like the smell of napalm in the morning.
Who said that…..Hmmmm…surely not Fat Sally’s Holywood mentor?
Apocalypse Now, or maybe tomorrow !

Having read brilliant posts on CQN and RangersTaxCase tonight it is quite incredible to witness the gulf in both quality and honesty between ordinary amateur posters and the so-called professional media in this pathetic country.
Even as their beloved club goes down the hole the sheer two-faced hypocrisy of these newly converted soothsayers in the main stream media is sickening as they stampede to ditch Whyte and tell us that they knew all along he was this and that.
