You did this in 2013

1233

Yet again during 2013 we asked you to put your hand in your pocket and you responded as only Celtic fans do.  You raised £6000 before and during the focus of our summer fundraising activity, the annual golf day.  £4500 of this went towards the 1254125 Appeal, which during the year did an enormous amount to anchor the club and support right back to where we came from.  Clic Sargent, who help children with cancer, also benefited at that time.

Thanks also to those who sponsored my 10k at the Great Scottish Run in October to the tune of £1552.  Times remain tight for many, so I the value of your support.

Perhaps the biggest response all year came from the commitment we made to Mary’s Meals to build and kit a kitchen at the Kholoni Primary School in Malawi.  1200 kids are registered at the school but there are no catering facilities, so students go hungry, or simply don’t go to school at all.  Pablophanque’s family sent on the £4500 support they received in 2011 to the appeal, while 470 people booked a seat at the CQteN St Patrick’s Day dinner, with more on the waiting list.  The work we’ll achieve in 2014 will be incredible.

This place can stress and annoy sometimes but it has become a great window into the soul of the Celtic support.

Have a great Christmas and thank you for all your support.

  1. Sanel Jahic has kept Georgios Samaras quiet for his country, and now he is aiming to repeat the trick with his club.

     

     

    The St Johnstone defender is an admirer of the Celtic striker and his unbeaten team, but he insisted the Perth men will not be daunted by reputations.

     

     

    The Bosnian international pointed out: “We will play against the team, not the name of the club. OK, it’s Celtic but it is just another 11 players you are facing.

     

     

    “We won’t look at it any differently than other teams, we always give the maximum anyway. I have not played Celtic before but I have come up against Georgios Samaras before at international level.

     

     

    “I had to mark him for Bosnia a few years ago and we managed to get a draw that day.

     

     

    “He is a very good player, he is strong and is very good at keeping the ball. He is a high-quality player, he’s very technical and is one of the best players in Scotland.

     

     

    “I have read that Celtic might sell him before his contract runs out, if that happens then a lot of clubs will be interested because he is a top player.”

  2. A few days till transfer window Need our goal scorer ASAP

     

    Hope the USA boy Aron is in Glasgow to visit friends and is no the latest attempt at a goal scorer as he is not one more a goal scoring winger. Would take him on a free though

    Sons of Struth spokesman Crawford Gilmore said: “We’ve had a week to digest the outcome of the AGM and we believe there remains a lack of transparency at board level, therefore we call on our fans to boycott Dundee United.”

    Great horseracing from Kempton, the Hoops playing in Perth and a Harry Potter film on later…I’m officially stuck to the couch! Just need her indoors to get out her sick bed, make Xmas Dinner round 2 and keep ferrying the cold tinnies from the kitchen!

    So you’re going with the pairing that saw us beat Ross County 4-1? Only one problem – neither of them scored or were involved in any of the goals in that game. Forrest is Neil’s bhoy, and he had a great match v Hearts – my MOTM – so he may well start today, but he suits a more straightforward 4-4-2, where he can be a real force on the right if he’s in the mood.

  14. The back four picks itself and we know that Brown and Ledley will play. Forrest will probably start today, which could mean either a 4-4-2/ 4-2-4 with Commons wide or a 4-2-3-1 with Pukki dropped and Stokes up front on his own.

  15. Can someone not get this stop and search plan put up up on twitter……..don’t want to See any of the guys in the nick……..DOBBIES CUMBERNAULD BUSES DIRECTED OFF DUAL CARRIAGEWAY

    Ole Grimmond McCrummoch was unavailable, but he backs the boycott…

  18. CELTIC captain Scott Brown believes agreeing new contracts with Georgios Samaras and Joe Ledley would represent better January business for the Scottish champions than any new signings they make during the transfer window.

    There is a small element of ‘fearing for their safety’ in the media..?

    Anyone taking flares or banners inside the ground today deserves all that comes their way including a swift boot in the sandy shaws in my humble opinion of course.
