Before you get carried away, let me remind you: Our Premier League record of 25 consecutive wins in season 2003-04 came to an end at home to Motherwell, the game after a memorable European victory over Barcelona. Our 2007 win over European Champions, Milan, was followed by a harrowing game against Gretna at Fir Park, where the soon-to-be-liquidated minnows held the lead until the 87th minute.
The last 10 days have been mentally and physically exhausting for the players: a League Cup quarter-final victory, humbling Newco, then raising the bar further against Anderlecht, all three games away from home. There will be a natural drop-off in endorphins, even the coaches will find it difficult to squeeze determination to climb another summit so soon.
A home game against soft-looking Hibernian is exactly how 57 game unbeaten domestic runs come to an end.
It’s always a bit disconcerting to see the media report a story of discord at Newco, conditioned, as we were, by the blanket of control Sir David Murray shrouded news outlets with while at Oldco. Now news that Brother Pedro has banished Kenny Miller from the Newco first team squad.
Kenny is the innocent party in all of this, apparently. Troubles are the manager’s fault.
Miller, “a guy who lives and breathes Rangers (sic.)”
You and I both know that Pedro, Kenny and everyone else at Ibrox are woefully under-resourced to compete at the summit of the Scottish Premiership. That’s the only important part of this story, and the answer doesn’t lie on the pitch or in the dug-out on match days. At best, the person responsible for that is watching games poolside in South Africa.
All that campaigning to unseat the Easdales was for this. It’s a Brexit-style self-delusion, with an inevitable outcome.
Celtic FC Foundation, Great Scottish Run
I can’t tell you him much I appreciate the generous support ahead of the Great Scottish Run this Sunday, for the Celtic FC Foundation. As I said yesterday, we are not only about winning trophies, and the Champions League, this club is has deep roots in helping our fellow those in need.
I’ve never made porridge in Malawi, or fed the poor in Haiti, not would I know how to engage with Autistic kids, but you and me can do our bit for those who have the responsibility of delivering help where needed. What I can do is run on Sunday and ask for sponsorship. If you can help, do so at this MyDonate page.
Thank you.

Celtic were not good on Wednesday, it was just that Anderlecht were crap’
Rangers* were terrific last night because Hamilton were very, very good.
Discuss.

I was just about to post that ‘not making sense’ as a threshold for posting would never survive a judicial review .. Audi altered parted, and all that guff.
I would be happy to take your case on pro bobo (even though I stopped listening after a Rattle & Hum). Sort of a warm up for Celtic’s soon to come judicial review of Scottish football!
However, I am somewhat conflicted because, as beatbhoy suggests, if spouting nonsense is the test, now stand a great chance of attaining my life-long dream of attaining my first &(:@ deletion!

If Liam is ‘Liam in Toronto’ I know his pick was Spurs. He may not be checking in as his mother in law fell last night and broke her arm, etc, so he is likely at the hospital, so I thought I would mention it for him.
If it is not LiT, sorry for butting in.
MiT et al.
Smiling here.

Philboy … Pro bobo?! I can’t take credit… it was a typo… but I like it! Might get his photo on my business card! I bet it would scare the opposing party!

Ps … at The Trashcan Sinatra show last night … 50 people squeezed into a tiny recording studio listening happily while the bhoys (I know a Frank Reader and his sister Eddie are tims!) played for us… what a great night of music.

Big George … you still in a band ?
Which instrument do you play ?
———
Hi Fred – I am indeed.
I’m just the singer – the talented laddies play the instruments.
We have an accordion genius, an excellent guitarist, a tenor banjo, a bohdran and Wee BGFC has started edging his way in – picking up the accordion and Cajon Box.
Good Irish, Scottish and folk tunes – Leaving of Liverpool, Take Me Home to Mayo, Folsome Prison Blues, Foggy Dew, Tell Me Ma, Star of the County Down, Back Home in Derry, Braes O’ Killiekrankie, Caledonia, Botany Bay etc. That sort of stuff.
Nae serious Rebs – my NHS paymasters would disapprove.

You have to laugh at the hysteria being built up around,the soon to be “Forever young”Mc Crory.
At fault for two goals against Celtic.The Hamilton player went through him as if he was invisible for Hamiltons goal,then caught out of position,and gives away a penalty.Even those two future superstars from last season,sadly now totally forgotten,Bates and Beerman,were not as bad as that.
Anything to give the gullible something to cling to.

Billy Bremner should have played for Celtic. His biggest regret in life.
*e were offered him in the early 60s, he was homesick and wanted up the road. Don Revie wanted 40 grand, we, rightly at the time, said naw.
Should be a cracker today. 3-0 to the good ghuys. HH
TONTINETIM
Forty grand?
They didn’t want that amount for him,not back then.
They wanted to keep him-and rightly so.
Anyway,far too much for a muppet who hits the post fae a yard v Brazil,and knocks us out of The World Cup!
Great player,aye. But not at that time a £40k player.
BMCUW….
:)))) my mate is playing in the Irish rover in saucheihall st tonight so I will probably end up there, just thought I’d make a day of it.
Is your da going to Munchen M? HH

*absolutely and that’s why they put such a ridiculous price on his heid, Revie knew we widnae pay that.

Wonderful post full of a bygone era in 60s Glasgow – thanks, enjoyed reading it.
