<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0Normally, they just display their lack of knowledge, and in some cases, a lack of coherency.<\/p>\n
\u00a0When England play Scotland, their patronising attitude has the same efect on me as someone taking a circular saw to my back and running it right down to the base.<\/p>\n
\u00a0I’m already getting annoyed by those who are predicting the wonderful atmosphere, because I can’t help but feel they are saying thats all we have. a lot of singing and shouting.<\/p>\n
\u00a0When Clive Tyldesley asks Andy Townsend-Dumb and even Dumber-what celtic could do in the EPL with a support like this, and he will, probably even before kick off, and he gets a reply that they would do well, and might even finish on the top half, I’ll be on the phone to Don Corleone asking him for a favour.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Scott Brown and Charlie Mulgrew are likely to feature for Scotland, and Gordon Strachan has admitted that he is re-thinking his original plans to field fringe players, and the tension and excitement of the game might just get to them, and others, and my biggest worry is that they pick up a knock and miss next weeks Europa cklash with Red Bull.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Craig Gordon could also feature, ending a four year international absence, and by sheer coincidence, his opposite number in the England net might be Fraser Forster, who held the Celtic number one jersey until Gordon was ready to come back from his long term injury.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Look, I can re-write history as well.<\/p>\n
Ronny Diela will have his fingers crossed, while Broony and Chuck have theirs firmly wrapped around their breakfast bun, enjoying it while they can;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Celtic Park atmosphere<\/strong>\u00a0has actually got the English rattled. Ask Wayne Rooney, their spud faced captain.<\/p>\n“I’ve played up here a few times and you know at the start of the game that their fans will be really up for it,” he said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n“It will be quite intimidating if you\u2019re not used to it, so we need to make sure they’re ready for it, to get them settled. You have to be ready for the start of the game. I’m sure we will be.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n“I have spoken to the younger players because it can take you by surprise.\u00a0It will be a big test.<\/em><\/p>\n“Everyone knows this stadium and the fans here have a great reputation of making it an intimidating place to come.” \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\u00a0Remember Ian Wright ?<\/p>\n
\u00a0He’s a media pundit now.<\/p>\n
The former striker, speaking ahead of tonights game, which hopefully means he won’t be talking during it, \u00a0admits he does \u00a0one regret in his career, and it relates to his time at Celtic.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Which is a remarkable co-incidence, because where Ian Wright is concerned, I have one regret about his career, and it relates to his time at Celtic as well.<\/p>\n
His regret ?<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0“I played eight games for Celtic at the end of my career and that was a fantastic experience.<\/em><\/p>\n“I would even have got a goal in an Old Firm game, too, if Eyal Berkovic had squared it when he had the chance.” \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nMy regret ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u00a0The very reason the airbrush was invented.<\/p>\n
\u00a0I might just watch the game with the sound off, and maybe Radio Scotland for the commentary.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Oh wait…..<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Moving away from tonights game,\u00a0<\/strong>Craig Whyte remains on the run. Thats if there actually is a warrant out for him.<\/p>\nWe’ve only the medias word for it. I’ve been looking for days to find something official, and cannot.<\/p>\n
\u00a0But that doesn’t stop the papers. They’ve already moved to the next stage….<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Absolution Of David Murray\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Embedded](\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/B2tgFylIIAAMB4G.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Scottish establishment is now expecting us to believe that poor old Dave was actually duped by a guy who wandered into his office one day and said,;<\/p>\n
\u00a0“Right pal, I’ve had a look around and I’ll gie ye a quid furrit. “<\/p>\n
\u00a0Dave himself was unavailable for comment, as per bloody usual, but he might as well come out and give us his tuppenceworth. After all, its not like anyone will ask him any difficult questions.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Liquidators of Rangers Football club BDO have announced that they have secured an out of court settlement on \u00a324m owed to the old club by legal firm Collyer Bristow, who helped Whyte get the deal done for a pound.<\/p>\n
\u00a0They also helped him to borrow the ticketus money to pay off the bank , and will probably use the bulk of it to pay ticketus back. Or the taxman, whio is still harping on about his bit.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Or some of the other creditors.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Mind you, it was an out of court settlement, so its highly unlikely to be \u00a324m. and don’t forget the fees for BDO.<\/p>\n
\u00a0And wasn’t all this agreed some time ago ?<\/p>\n
\u00a0You’d think they were all trying to deflect from something….<\/p>\n
\u00a0Somethings not right.<\/p>\n
If there was a warrant out for Whyte, they’d have got him by now. In fact, he’d have probably turned himself, and his wee tape recorder in by now.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Anyway, wonder if Lewis MacLoed will play for Scotland tonight ? I wonder if he’ll grab a couple of goals and earn a move south for big bucks ?<\/p>\n
\u00a0I wonder if thats been the plan all along…and its why Strachan let him go back to Ibrox for the plucky draw with Alloa ….<\/p>\n
\u00a0Wheres my tin hat ?<\/p>\n
Martin O’Neill and Tommy Burns faced each other for their national sides in yesterdays picture, and both, of course, went on to manage Celtic.<\/p>\n
Whats happening here, and when did it happen ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u00a0Right, I’m away now. I can hear the dog barking, which means he’s nearly done, and its time to put the potatoes on.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0PS How many Rangers ans does it take to change a light bulb ?<\/p>\n
None. They’d rather just sit in the dark and blame Craig Whyte .<\/p>\n
