Looking forward to a good day on sat but also as my wife and I are ditching the 1 year old and taking a wee trip up to Glasgow to watch the game in a pub somewhere, was thinking the merchant city, any one know of any decent pubs that will show the game and have a good atmosphere in that area? I'm a bit rusty as we usually stay local for the last 5 years or so.

Cheers

If the SNP are in talks with HMRC to "guide them" into doing a deal with rangers, it with have more repercussions than they think.
if there are EPL clubs in the same situation as rangers who are they going to run to the Tories/Lib Dems. Does anyone honestly think the politicians are going to put their neck on the line to save a football club? .
For every penny given there will be a vote lost.

Be Very Very careful Mr Salmond do a deal with the devil and disappear into the political wilderness.

The snp will lose a helluva lot of votes .. from all over the country who were coming round to independance but if he is helping that mob ,,,forget it they will go backwards and be the fourth party in scotland

if its true that alex salmond is in talks with HMRC regarding helping rangers they will lose my vote & i would urge every celtic supporter to do the same

Dont tell me youve voted for this idiot before.

I never vote snp we have known for years what they are... Also UEFA FIFA will go off on one and ban Scotland next world cup also can ban Scottish teams from Europe for 3 or more years..... To be honest am Celtic die hard but if they get off with hmrc then what's the point in ever watching Scottish football......think there should be a anti snp facebook setup lol

I never heard this but if it's true surely a political party cannot intervene in such a case involving Her Majesty's Revenue etc?
I would have suspected that there would be some private meetings afoot involving secret (and not so secret) societies to rescue Rangers in any way possible, but it is highly contrversial to say the least for a leading politician - who represents a Nation - to meddle in such matters.
Anyway how long has this pantomime been going on? It seems to be getting dragged out in order to try and overshadow and distract our campaign.
Anyway C'Mon The Hoops on Saturday!
Let's put it to bed IN STYLE. It's overdue.

I can not understand how any Celtic fan can vote for a unionist political party, they have the same agenda as the DUP or UUP.
The unionist political system is a form of religious apartheid that discriminates against
the majority of Celtic fans!
Remember fellow tims, if there was no union anymore we would not have to fly the union jack over Celtic park. Hail hail.

I want independence but if i am voting for a government who lets Tax dodging barstewards away with not paying there dues. They will lose my vote.

Unionists have been dodging taxes for years,
they are called the rich!!

The snp are trying to leave the union for the poster above unlike the dup and uup.

Is that poster really saying that snp care more about catholics and celtic fans more than labour, look yourself in the mirror

Poster above.
How come the unionist labour party did nothing to redress the sectarian bias in the British parliament when they where in power!
Inequality is inequality my friend.
Hail hail.

hi folks !
its been a wee while since i was on but i have a genuine suggestion on summer transfers!
instead of going for an untested over priced foreign player what about jon daly? top goalscorer in scotland strong good in the air great finisher and only 27 ..i think he would jump at the chance!
We have to give bangura a descent chance he is only 21 and dare i say it sell paddy ,loovens ,possibly ki and bring in hayes free transfer and dean shields! all good prospects playing welol his season...i would love johnny russell but i think stokes would have to go in his place! not sure.

what do you think bhoys?

Celtic Always
Chalky Bhoy!!

Aye paddy not fit (or good) enough to be a regular so he should be punted along with loovens, cha, mark wilson, kelvin wilson, majstorovic

Dean Shiels? you having a laugh? None of thos players you mentioned would make Celtic's bench

Daly is a decent player I give you that, no worse than say Murphy. And Murphy was a big mistake. As for Dean Shields well Keatings is as good a player and he is on loan. I am all for giving Scottish boys a chance for example Russell who you mentioned and Mackail Smith i think is also woth consideration. My thoughts are we have planty talent at the club at present. So I would give the Twardzics a chance, McGeogh, Ibrahim Toshney and Keatings. From England I would take Rhodes. I really think we have enough in the tank. Consideration for a new left back and a big striker like say Big John or Chris Sutton but they dont grow on trees and cost a fortune these days.. The Norwich lad is the closest to them style wise I have seen.

Dean shiels is a good footballer positve going forward and has a great touch and good vision (no pun intended)jon daly has outscored everyone this season and johnny hayes direct fit tremndous left foot !

Aye good shout, those really are players for a team to try to get back to making a mark on European football. we need to be looking at players with a far greater pedigree.

Jamesy Dell

Craig Beattie looks a far better prospect.

I understand the original point and it does make some sence but surely this summer is about trimming the squad, moving on a good few fringe players but surely then we must bring in people to improve the team ie they have to be better than what we already have and i don't think any of the names mentioned would improve the starting 11.

Much as it is a nice touch for us to go down to Norwich to play in a
testimonial game it grates on me that we are okay to play in this type of game (which will be well supported) but these clubs in reality dont want us anywhere near their precious league. CM

Afternoon ED007 did you see that a freedom of information request to
SNP was turned down "as it could harm relations between Holyrood and
Westminster" what was so secret, what was so sensitive that civil war could happen between Scotland and England er Salmond and other SNP bigwigs having "secret" talks with HMRC over helping Rangers...
I LOVE an Open and Honest Government just one question, when the heck will we EVER GET ONE? Timalloy
Ps right bhoys/ghirls there is only ONE party left for us all to vote for
I give you THE GREEN PARTY!! {Ed007's Note - The Government should not be having secret discussions about any football club with HMRC. It stinks to high heaven Tim. The SNP have turned out, exactly as people knew they would, totally incompetent.}

My vote is for the respect party , would love a few candidates up here.

The establishment is alive and
kicking for the moment.hope salmond and co take a kicking at the may elections.

Still waitin for salmonds comments on the
reduced charges in the Neil Lennon case.
How can people vote for this egotistical wee man?

The most amazing thing is the loyalist hate his party.

Here we go lets bash the SNP and Alex Salmond ,we are like sheep lets all follow Labour who were a total disaster bah bah bah {Ed007's Note - Who mentioned voting for Labour? If you think Salmond is doing a good job then sorry, you're an idiot.}

Hi there,
Another idiot here.
How come politics is rearing its ugly head on the rumours page ?
Labour did nothing for us when they were in power. {Ed007's Note - It's on it because of the rumours in the papers about Salmond helping out Rangers with top secret talks with HMRC. D'Uh!!!!}

Where did this story come from Ed ? {Ed007's Note - It was in the DR today and has gathered pace throughout the day. AS phoned HMRC regarding Rangers. What was said is 'Top Secret' as it would 'substantially prejudice relations between the two governments', but nobody will say why.}

Ahh the DR a well known source of accurate political stories and a bastion of sound journalism! Sopot Celt
