Social media went into a bit of overdrive last night, as a rumour circulated that the club was about to make a statement.<\/p>\n

I asked around, and not surprisingly, no-one in the pub I was in had heard anything, as it was in Stoke.<\/p>\n

Look, i had a tough day yesterday. another biopsy and this one bloody hurt. I’ve got a hole in my arm now, but apparently there’s nothing to worry about , which oddly enough was exactly what they said when I had the first one done, which turned out to be something to worry about.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, I took advice from an old doctor who said to rub the affected area with alcohol, which I did, only from the inside.<\/p>\n

A wee bit of digging, and it transpired no such statement was in the offing. Not this week , but next week.<\/p>\n

It seems the battle is about to begin, a serious battle, with hopefully serious repercussions.<\/p>\n

A brief summary of Resolution 12…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a few in the media who have picked up on the story, the first of which is Ann Pettifor, who attracted attention to this report, on the Offshore Game website…<\/p>\n

Offshore game<\/a><\/p>\n

Another story can be found on this link…<\/p>\n

inside world football<\/a><\/p>\n

At least one major southern newspaper is ready to run with it, and one internet Scottish site.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The dam is about to burst, and hopefully it will sweep a few away with it.<\/p>\n

Meantime, ask Stewart Regan to comment on this email, which is just a little piece of the evidence against him, should it prove to be genuine…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Collusion ? Corruption ?<\/p>\n

Reading those two reports, and considering the above email, then there’s no doubt questions need to be answered. Its just finding someone with the balls to do it.<\/p>\n

Back at the ranch, and the Aberdeen game looms ahead this weekend. The dons will be out to spoil the party, and only need a 17-0 win to put themselves back in contention for the title. Boss McInnes said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really too bothered about spoiling the party. I just want to see us win the game.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted this game to be more significant. As it stands, it is not going to be what we wanted it to be. But it is still a game that we want to go on and show our credentials.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIt is one of the most difficult places to go but it might be an opportunity to play one or two of the younger ones at some point in the game and give them that experience of playing in that kind of venue.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to win the game as we have our own targets we want to achieve.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

To be fair to the northern lights, they have ben better this season against Celtic, but let themselves down when it could have made a difference. \u00a0Next season, if they continue to improve and regain the consistency they showed last season, then they could be a real handful, and with Hearts on the ascendency as well, a three way battle could be on the cards.<\/p>\n

And even the new club from Ibrox are at least pretending to mount a challenge.<\/p>\n

Reputedly, Mark Warburton is after \u00a33m rated Grant Hanley, who somehow is an international defender.<\/p>\n

and then theres this level 5 inspired guff… appearing in the Scotsman via the Sun;<\/p>\n

Rangers and Celtic could be set to do battle once again this summer, this time in the transfer market, with both sides reported to be interested in Sunderland\u2019s Danny Graham. Graham, who has spent the last few months on loan at Championship side Blackburn Rovers, scoring six league goals in 17 starts for the Ewood Park side.<\/span><\/em>
\nThe striker was prolific for Swansea in their debut campaign in the Premier League but has struggled make an impact at Sunderland and is being tipped to leave the Stadium of Light this summer.<\/em><\/p>\n

We have an exclusive photo of Dave King when Warby Warbs asked him for the money..
\n\"\"
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

So the guy who took it says, anyway.<\/p>\n

Whilst we have maintined that Roy Keane will be the next Celtic manager, whether we like it or not, another name has appeared on the Keith Jackson ( radar ) that has caused a certain Irish fellow to pause, and utter, “wait, now ”<\/p>\n

Someone is thinking about the job, and thinking that it would suit him.<\/p>\n

Look, there he is thinking…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, Guus, are you up for it ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of all the names mentioned, he would be the top choice. He knows how to run a railroad, as they say.<\/p>\n

Remember, Keane wouldn’t be my first choice, or most peoples, but its only what we have heard.<\/p>\n

If it isn’t yet finalised, and I had any say in this, then I’d be after Hiddink.<\/p>\n

If his \u00a0reported interest is true, then we shouldn’t waste any time.<\/p>\n

And is he interested ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thats the looking forward bit done, now its time to look back.<\/p>\n

Celtic Graves, a bunch of guys who look after the past and help us remember who we are, where we came from, and why we do it, are putting a plaque on Sunday morning to commerate the old Celtic Park.<\/p>\n

Details here…<\/p>\n

celtic graves<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking forward, looking back, how about looking behind you ?<\/p>\n

Which brings us to a new feature in the Diary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our wee pal Jeanete Findlay was out and about last week, and found herself stood fairly close to this weeks winner, and was astonished to hear him say that she was in cahoots with the Orange Order, which is a bit like saying that Margaret Thatcher worked in a soup kitchen to help straving miners families during the strike.<\/p>\n

Jeanete overheard him, and he didn’t know she was there.<\/p>\n

He then denied it and as far as I can see is now in hiding.<\/p>\n

So, take a bow, Humza Yousaf<\/p>\n

\"Humza<\/p>\n

You are the first winner of the Etims Knob of the Week award.<\/p>\n

And I’ can see potential in you.<\/p>\n

You could probably secure ten in a row without even trying.<\/p>\n

This guy is actually an MSP, having won yesterday.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the unionists are right.<\/p>\n

If you elect guys like this then you shouldn’t be allowed to even choose what colour socks to wear.<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, metaphorically speaking, Jimmy Bee won the caption competition with this…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, is it your turn ?<\/p>\n

\"Changing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By the way, if you are going to the game on Sunday, take note of this, from John Paul Taylor…<\/p>\n

London Rd is closed West Bound at Celtic Park at present and single lane East bound. Please plan alternative route on Sun to avoid delays<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
