“I know I’ve got a really special job here at a special club, a massive football club that I have built a great affinity to and we’re in a really important season and a really important stage of the season. We’ve got a big week coming up, three big games starting on Saturday at QPR.<\/em><\/p>\n “Honestly, anything outside of that hasn’t touched my radar this week.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have Celtic approached him ?<\/p>\n “I’ve not had any of those conversations or anything of the like. My focus again has just been purely here.<\/em><\/p>\n “My focus is honestly just on Ipswich. Of course, we all grow up as football supporters. People who are lucky enough to work in the game and have different affinity with different clubs. But as I said, I’m really privileged to be in the position that I am.<\/em><\/p>\n “I know the size, the significance, the history of this football club as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n He sounds rather flustered, which doesn’t suggest he’s ready for a job that brings the pressure of the Celtic role.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We’d be as well asking Russell Martin not to end the lease on his Glasgow flat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ange Postecoglou was never in the running, and Robbie Keane , whilst fitting the Is he Irish and has he played for Celtic template would be a move only slightly more popular than hiring Barry Ferguson.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which reminds me..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Barry, who couldn;t quite get the hang of being a manager himself, isn’t shy of offering his opinion om other managers and how they do the job. On Go Radio, he admitted to not understanding why Celtic sold Adam Idah ..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI thought it was crazy,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After a decent season off the bench, where he scored a remarkable twenty goals, Idah struggled to step up to the main striker role. Having cost \u00a39m, it was becoming failry clear to everyone that Celtic would never recover that money, and the player himself was plainly miserable. So, when a chance of a new start for Idah and \u00a36m back for the club came along, everyone jumped at it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not sure how that’s crazy.\u00a0 Then again. Barry does get confused now and again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He probably doesn’t even know what day it is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But we do, don’t we ?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just to remind them again, this was the outcome when their club was liquidated…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lord Hodge’s decision at the Court of Session was a key procedural step in the complex financial collapse of the club, which had entered administration in February 2012 over unpaid tax bills. The liquidation became necessary after a proposed Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was blocked by HMRC. A new company, Sevco (later the current Rangers FC), had already purchased the business and assets from the administrators via a pre-pack deal, so the liquidation of the old company did not stop the team from continuing to play, albeit in a lower league. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All that they are is a basket of assets bought in a liquidation sale.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Same club my arse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Celtic’s next game is against the plucky newcomers, who have made it all the way to a national semi final, and Connor Baron, who when he remembers to bring his boots , is sometimes asked to run about in midfield for them, is looking forward to the game…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a good feeling in the dressing room so we just have to continue with that.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"May](\"https:\/\/scontent-lhr6-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/566346395_1420707639818670_1325712854667631434_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p526x296_tt6&_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=d4D_9xi5L14Q7kNvwG3IUid&_nc_oc=Adkp9xob6rxP5w5XeV0QOaK4TtWTFgmNyhCH1r0Bj6dWXWPMOCggUZNnTtjtaPjz7rg&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr6-1.xx&_nc_gid=xR6uIHygEj5vsXP3nmonmQ&oh=00_AfewHkdPEe5pEZTPejvU2PnmgjfLcw3bQW-9U2Z8gNRhtQ&oe=690A2A90\")
