<\/p>\nWe paid our last respects to Tommy Gemmell yesterday.<\/p>\n
Some of us were at the funeral, some of us were at the ground to see the cortege leave, and some of us watched it on a live stream whilst heading up the motorway to work.<\/p>\n
No matter where we were, our thoughts were , and remain with, his family and friends.<\/p>\n
Thanks again for the memories , big man.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Glasgow derby awaits tomorrow, and it appears Sky Tv , who will be covering the game at lunchtime, have already given us a subliminal prediction..<\/p>\n

Celtic go into the game on the back of an unbeaten domestic run that has lasted longer than most “rangers ” managers, whilst the pretenders from the other side of the city are in a little bit of disarray again.<\/p>\n
There will be some of you who are a little nervous ahead of this game, those of you who believe “anything can happen in these games “, but really, thats a lot of nonsense.<\/p>\n
Celtic have only played “rangers ” twice in the league, winning both times. There have been two cup games, one win and one defeat on penalties due to a massive tactical error from the then Celtic coach Ronny Whatsisname.<\/p>\n
There is no record of “anything happening ” in the games between the sides that can be classed as unusual.<\/p>\n
Its also worth noting that the old Rangers, now in liquidation, would never have signed the calibre of player operating out of Ibrox these days.<\/p>\n
Leaving the same club legal argument aside, it sure as hell isn;t the same club in practical terms.<\/p>\n
The search for a new manager confirms this.<\/p>\n
Pedro Caixinha must be having second thoughts by now. all he has to do is read up on his new job, and the reaction of the support to his appointment, and he will get straight back on a plane within minutes of his arrival in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, his “Celtic brothers ” video has meant he’s getting more good wishes from Celtic fans than “rangers ” supporters.<\/p>\n
It would be poor form should the Celtic support show him some sort of solidarity during tomorrows match.<\/p>\n

The story so far is that “rangers ” have paid 400 thousand euros to free the Portuguese man of war-they like their military terminology, even though its actually a jellyfish of some sort- from the remaining few weeks of his contract.<\/p>\n
They paid it yesterday to the Qataris although the Islamic nation has Friday as their holy day, and so the banks would have been closed.<\/p>\n
And they paid it in euro’s, which is neither the currency of Scotland or Qatar.<\/p>\n
Or South Africa, come to think of it, where the principal investor of “rangers” hides and resides.<\/p>\n
Caixinha “missed his plane ” yesterday, due to paperwork….he was wiping his bottom after a prolonged evacuation brought on when he read through the Ibrox page on the company check website….but the scottish media swung into action to reassure the hordes that their new Messiah was on his way.<\/p>\n
Pedro Caixinha will become\u00a0Rangers<\/a>\u00a0manager this afternoon after the Ibrox club agreed a \u20ac400,000 compensation package with his Qatari club.<\/em><\/p>\n
