For whatever reason, the campaign to divide and conquer Celtic and the support continues unabated in the media.<\/p>\n

After the unwarranted attention paid to a work of fiction , one that movie companies are already in negotiation to secure the film rights, it seems that the one thing the establishment fears is a united Celtic, all pulling in the same direction.<\/p>\n

So, we know what to do, right ?<\/p>\n

If you’re not up for it, I’ll do it myself.<\/p>\n

There’s a big game coming up, the trip to Salzburg on Thursday, where the hoops will face their most difficult European tie so far this season.<\/p>\n

So there’s little doubt the press will try to interfere with preparations.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the Record and its ilk are not big sellers in Austria. Therefore, the players will be largely unaffected, but while they are away, and Brendan likes to impose a sort of media blackout ahead of these ties, the press can pontificate away to their little hearts content.<\/p>\n

And their friends, of course. Like Alex “Lend me a tenner ” MacLeish, who has told reporters that Leigh Griffiths has been ignoring his calls.<\/p>\n

I’m surprised Leigh hasn’t changed his number, or left a voicemail along the lines of “I’m not available, but you can ring your pal at Hearts ”<\/p>\n

MacLeish knows what he is doing, All of the Celtic lads want to play for Scotland, and he is using that to annoy and distract them. He said, of Griffiths;<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that you\u2019ve always got to prove yourself,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Fortunately for him, that rule doesn’t apply to Scotland managers any more.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, though. He’ll be gone as soon as he knows what his tax bill is going to be, and another idiot who has been plying his trade with little success down south\u00a0 will take over.<\/p>\n

Davie Moyes has admitted he was approached by Celtic prior to Brendan Rodgers accepting the role.<\/p>\n

Alright, he’s admitted it again. He’s always harping on about it, come to think about it, and in an interview with Simon Ferry, he admitted he might consider either Celtic or “rangers” , if he cant get another job.<\/p>\n

Which he won’t. Until MacLeish sorts out his bills.<\/p>\n

“It’s my home and I’d like to come back and do it sometime, but while the Premier League’s so strong, that would probably still remain my interest.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Bringing him back onto the back pages is another attempt to make Celtic fans think that Moyes has a realistic chance of becoming manager, which frightens the life out of us.<\/p>\n

He hasn’t, and thats because he’s no bloody good.<\/p>\n

Hayley McQueen , the eye candy to offset Sky Scotlands uggies Kris Boyd and Kris Commons, has been hurt by criticism of the post Livingston -“rangers ” discussion on Celtic’s problems.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McQueen went on the defensive, via Twitter<\/p>\n

A decision to discuss Celtic today was an editorial decision not mine personally. End of.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Commons and Boyd have said nothing, as they are waiting to be told what to say by their puppetmasters.<\/p>\n

Although they will be delighted with the fuss they’ve kicked up, so whilst on the one hand I’m talking about it, on the other its just to remind you to cancel your subscription, and tell them why.<\/p>\n

I was considering taking a subscription out, just so I could cancel it again.<\/p>\n

Of course, this pre prepared discussion not only deflected from the piss poor result and performance by “rangers “, who would surely have been on the phone to Graeme Murty by now had it been Celtic who were setting the pace at the top of the league, and not Hearts.<\/p>\n

It deflected from the assault on the linesman, which the police admit they are treating as , er, assault.<\/p>\n

They could always look at the video circulating online that shows him doing it.<\/p>\n

At least they mentioned “rangers ” in the context of the offender…<\/p>\n
