Impressive display tonight! Look back to the team we know. Was good to get it wrapped up early bring off the key players and give the young lads a run out. Gutted didn't get to see more of Arzani as he looked bright when he came on, similar to Paddy in his wing play. More importantly points gained over the others at the top of the table.

I think young Lewis Morgan is a very good signing, future promise to improve but even just now he gets the ball moved with it looking for space or the pass. Looks a cracker and I'm delighted as he is a young Scot also. Jack Hendry gets abuse, but he also is good with the ball, he just needs that extra aggression to go through with a tackle. Not to foul but to win or block the ball not just a half hearted attempt.

So once again Neil Lennon has been the victim of violence at Tynecastle. This cannot be tolerated any longer. The authorities should come down on Hearts like a ton of bricks. If they closed the stand for the next time Hibs vist Tynecastle that would hit Hearts severely in the pocket. They could also give them a points deduction. I hope we tear them to pieces on Saturday. We are all Neil Lennon.

Do you know that the hearts keeper was also assaulted tonight.

31 Oct 2018 23:34:02
I do now and I have to say that’s just as appalling. Maybe they should both play their next games behind closed doors.

01 Nov 2018 15:46:52
It should be a police matter, the perpetrator should be locked up,

31 Oct 2018 21:45:39
Shame on Hearts once again. When will something be done about Tynecastle.

01 Nov 2018 15:44:41
It's not Hearts it's the halfwits that decide to act like morons.

McLean said "Hes nothing but a big person'.

2 match ban for MacLean for the vicious grip of Kouassi's Haw Maws.

One match per Haw Maw.

Size did nae come into it.

31 Oct 2018 18:25:29
GHB seemingly it was a half game ban for the left and one and a half game ban for the right.

31 Oct 2018 18:59:28
So a Hearts player gets a two match ban for deliberately assaulting a Celtic player but a Sevco-Rangers goalie gets nothing on video review for deliberately assaulting a Celtic player?

Why does the SFA do this?

It helps Sevco-Rangers catch Hearts and end the season in second spot.

31 Oct 2018 19:10:37
First ever two game ban for hawn-baw ha ha.

01 Nov 2018 06:11:29
Apparently there's a new compliance officer so maybe that's got somethi g to do with it.

01 Nov 2018 15:41:56
It was a deliberate hand ball and stopped kouassi having a scoring opportunity on Sunday night when out on the town 😂😂.

Dermot Desmond €2,400million
John Magnier €2,300million
JP McManus €2,100 million

Figures as at 2018.

There's quite a few more. I won't list them. How can Super high net worth individuals who love our club contribute?

They've all collaborated in business ventures before. They all love Celtic.

It's 20 years since the Bunnet left. Perhaps it's time for corporate restructuring and a different business model at the club? Collaborative shareholding's. You have to keep ahead of the times and up to date with FIFA and UEFA club developments. Ideas that were sound 20 years ago are superseded now.

Placing an endowment, say €200million each, in an escrow account to be drip fed into the club over the next fifty years would underpin the club's health, survival and dominance as a wonderful legacy.

Hearts have already delivered the "donation" precedent.

Of course, further receiving Will legacies into the fund from all and sundry would be a marvellous initiative to contribute to Celtic's dominance. Give your money to Celtic.

I've never understood why so many affluent, wealthy and high profile, Celtic 'fans' have never seriously invested in the club.
Obviously, there are many legal and administrative requirements that are above my head, but even when we were at the 11th hour in 1994, it was the relatively unknown Fergus McCann who stepped in and not one of the rich and famous faces who like to be associated with Celtic.

31 Oct 2018 16:24:49
The wealth accumulated by the above named would not have been possible had they invested in Celtic. To suggest they invest €200million is ludicrous they are astute business men who invest their money for a decent profit hence their wealth. As Celtic fans we love that type of investment but as long as we are playing in scotland that won’t happen . oldkilly.

31 Oct 2018 16:29:55
Because there business men first and foremost and won't make money out of Celtic.

31 Oct 2018 16:59:00
If we had three or four billionaires (Strictly fans) holding significant shares in Celtic Plc I would feel more comfortable.

There’s a major issue surrounding what happens when the largest shareholder sells up or retires or pops their clogs? Does the eldest Son take up the mantle? Does he support the club as passionately?

The recent helicopter accident at Leicester City FC was a terrible and sad incident, yet it now throws up large questions surrounding club security and what happens in the future? Will the family continue to support LC now Vichai has departed?

We must mitigate such risks with clearly understood long term legacy planning for generations. Perhaps this has indeed been thought through but not communicated to club stakeholders; fans, shareholders and employees.

Who will own the club in ten years? In 15 years? 20 years? How do we ensure it will survive and thrive the next 100 years?

31 Oct 2018 17:04:22
Maybe they're not as daft on celtic as us peasants. Their love of money outweighs their love of celtic. Personally I'd rather see them give their spare cash to the poor and try n put a dent in the ever growing financial gap between the rich and poor. I don't care how hard someone claims to work being a billionaire should not be legal.

31 Oct 2018 17:46:51
Grey Heid Bhoy I’m led to believe it’s Dermot Desmond’s sons who are Celtic mad and encourage their father to invest in the club and they will continue when he retires. Celtic have survived since 1888 and will continue to do so regardless of who is at the helm, why, because of who we are. oldkilly.

31 Oct 2018 18:21:37
I suggested the reasonable €200m each because I didn’t want them to go hungry.

If the plan is to keep the club a Desmond family heritage legacy, that needs to be formally communicated to us all. It’s important. And it raises the question, are we happy with that?

31 Oct 2018 19:10:20
His wealth is probably in some offshore account, him investing 200million euro would mean giving a large slice to the tax man which he doesn't want to do haha.

31 Oct 2018 19:26:05
Can’t take it with you.
Splash the cash billionaires.

31 Oct 2018 17:48:19
Even Rod Stewart is knighted and supposed to be worth £250million. I bet DK and the three Bears don’t have £250m.

However, their collaborative shareholding at Sevco makes the difference and allows continuity if one falls off the bandwagon.

Four billionaires having 15% each at Celtic, each with their man on the board delivers continuity over retirement/ death. It delivers new ideas, legacy planning, security, multiple cash sources, more contacts, and shares the love.

An escrow account fund with its own board of honest notables would accrue significant interest each year such that the original funds would not diminish.

We now live in an age of Red Bull’s, Vichai’s and Arabs and Abramovich’s fielding teams worth several hundred million.

We need to think differently and bigger to when the Bunnet walked away. It’s a much different world.

31 Oct 2018 21:24:39
I’d like to see the SFA take on a Celtic with four billionaire Owners with around €9,000 million behind them. Regarding their Judicial panels and breaking their own rules. And generally acting to the detriment of our club.

31 Oct 2018 15:03:37
Leigh Griffiths is becoming a bit of a "sick note". Hasn't been available all season.

{Ed007's Note - And yet LG has made 16 appearances - the same amount as Rogic and more than the likes of Ajer and Boyata.}

31 Oct 2018 15:17:22
Nonsense Poster.
You’re bad news!
Take it elsewhere.

31 Oct 2018 15:33:00
I think we still need cover for the 'striker' position as we have plenty of options for defense and midfield for injury/ suspension.

31 Oct 2018 16:26:45
Love the wee man but he needs to get fit his body tells a story he should be ripped but he's a bit loose for the want of a better word.

31 Oct 2018 12:27:17
So mulumbu was injured and is back in training tomorrow.
So much for being a mole eh?

31 Oct 2018 14:30:55
AngelGabriel started that.

Nobody believed it.

31 Oct 2018 14:49:46
Brendan could’ve told us all earlier, and put our minds at rest. Thus snuffing the rumour mongers who prey on us.

STV wants his sound bites everyday. There’s no excuse for not keeping us informed via the website or telly.

31 Oct 2018 15:40:47
Apologies for just putting what I heard on a rumours website, had a crazy notion that’s what it was for

Not the only person to suggest it and see the “conspiracy” also picked up in a few articles on CQN so don’t think I can take all the credit

Oh and just cos he’s back doesn’t make it not true!

31 Oct 2018 15:51:38
Brendan has a excellent excuse. He's running a football team not a newspaper/ tv channel. How much time would take up if he had to inform everyone ever detail.


Conspiracy theories come and go. Some are true most are bull. Has he to comment on every random one that pops up.

31 Oct 2018 16:27:36
The boss said from the outset he was injured.

31 Oct 2018 19:38:39
Your right angel just because he's back doesn't make it untrue.
What makes it untrue is the fact it is UNTRUE.

31 Oct 2018 21:51:13
Touche.
