Watched an interview where Henrik states after the 6 2 game, "everybody wanted rangers to win, as they always do"

Has anything changed?

08 Apr 2017 23:35:28
It has changed a little over the years, back then all the fans of the other clubs hated us and if there own team couldn't win they wanted old rangers to win, now they still don't want us to win but because of there fans crying and moaning and blaming everyone but themselves for there old incarnations demise they are happy to see them get beaten as well .

Everyone prefers us to the huns.

09 Apr 2017 19:24:41
I think Henrik was referring to the media, bluenoses with laptops to this day.

@gordo87 - it must cost you a fortune in half and half scarves!

10 Apr 2017 09:54:25
😂😂😂 even the refs want us to win!

truest thing you've ever said cee, its a wonder the famous john greig and tiny wharton masonic handshake picture doesn't have pride of place in the ibrox boardroom.

@jb67 - it does. If you stand on the correct Masonic symbol in the carpet one of the walls spins round to show all kinds of amazing artefacts, including the Holy Grail, Noah's Ark, Santa's Sleigh, the real Mona Lisa etc😉.

Arguably the best signing this season.

Just want to congratulate PL on the remarkable job he is doing as the CEO. He has taken Celtic on to a new level with structure, backroom staff and status as a leading brand in the world game. The infrastructure around Celtic Park now is fantastic and can only get better with the addition of a museum and hotel an the big revolving screen.

The team that celtic are building is down to Brendan having great trust in Peter delivering on the promises that brought this great manger to our club.
Brendan now wanting to stay for the long haul is again testament to PL for letting Brendan run the club and all football matters .

The treble is almost in the bag and some of the best football in a long time has been getting played at Celtic Park due to Brendan making players better and adding quality to the squad, the stands are full every week and fans are beaming with pride, so Peter you are one of the unsung heroes this season and keep up the great work that you are doing for Celtic Fc in Brendan's recent words "the best club in the world" Hail Hail.

Not forgetting the new playing surface at paradise and dome at lennoxtown peter doing a great job lucky to have him.

{Ed007's Note - I've gave Peter Lawwell dog's abuse on here over the years but I've never questioned his credentials or performance as our CEO. It was when he started dominating and interfering with the footballing department he was in unfamiliar territory and a lot of mistakes were made.}

08 Apr 2017 13:56:39
I think we may have the perfect set up now though Ed, Lawell doing what he does best and leaving Brendan to get on with dealing with the football side. So much of the success of an entity is down to sound people in the right positions, it's how big businesses thrive and subsequently fail if the wrong decisions are made. Celtic are very much setting in place the foundations to take us up to the next level and every single step has been done honestly and without cheating. I have always been very proud to support Celtic but this year had boosted my pride up into the stratosphere. Long may it continue!

{Ed007's Note - I've been saying it for years but we are now finally starting to behave like a big club, for too long we were acting like small fry happy to get a patronising pat on the head from Barca for having a great atmosphere and shite like that.}

08 Apr 2017 14:20:08
Canny argue with that ed imo that was his only downfall him and park having to much say in the football department but as a ceo on the business/ structure of the club he's up there with the best.

{Ed007's Note - And long may it continue.}

I know its no excuse for the last few years, but sometimes you need to take a step back to go forward.

08 Apr 2017 19:25:05
I'm I right in saying the new hybrid pitch is not going in this summer ed and that it will go down next summer after the drainage and undersoil heating is done this summer and the pitch will only be relayed this summer and again in the winter if necessary.

Would love to see Chris Commons given a bit of first team game time, however I don't see this happening while we build toward the double header with the dark side.
Then of course we want the unbeaten season to continue right to the last game.
So is there any chance of seeing him again in the hoops?

08 Apr 2017 09:00:35
If there was he probably would have played while Rogic was injured. I get that people like Commons but I don't understand why some want him shoehorned in this season when we've been playing so well without him. Not necessarily you Border collie, just in general.

hes obviously not getting a game because kennedy (who should have been hunted along with his cronies deila and collins) has been telling tales out of school.
