A N.E.D holding <35% of shares uses the official club website to post a 867 word rant after he was embarrassed at a golf event. How about 867 words on the status of coaching staff, future plans, our vision for Europe??? https ://www.celticfc.com/news/2026/October/03/Celtic-Football-Club-statement/

The Celtic board are seldom responsible for cheering me up, but this is objectively hilarious: "Celtic Football Club has never sought to prevent supporters from expressing criticism of the Club, its Board or its shareholders."

Exactly. Old rangers cheated, cfc said nothing. Old rangers died, cfc said nothing. Old ranger became sevco and bought titles, cfc said nothing. Broken glass in the box at ibrox, staff attacked and injured at ibrox - silence But dare to put DD off his game of golf and there’s a statement out asap

When operated at full capacity this data centre would use the energy equivalent to over two million homes. Its emissions would exceed the legal limit in Dumfries and Galloway by almost double. This application must be rejected.
STV News. Plans submitted for 'world's largest' data centre at former nuclear power station. The Scottish Greens have warned that the proposal would put a massive straight on Scotland's energy grid.

True, but Rangers had no action taken against them at all, retrospective or not. Starting again in 3rd Division was because of their financial collapse, liquidation, & rebirth as a new club. There were no consequences for the illegal advantage they had. Will Man City keep all their trophies too?

Strange how the national media and the SMSM are quick to put the boot into our Scottish NHS at every opportunity yet this story strangely appears to have completely passed them by. How odd. 🤔🤔.

1. Bazunu is right. 2. If you want to condemn (or even boo) other players for not standing with him, then be consistent. We'd be booing every player who has played against Israeli clubs & the national side, not just the Irish. 3. At least the Irish made it an issue. Celtic FC & Scotland never have.

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.

I'd hope people would, but we had similar 'what if' polls about leaving the EU and Boris Johnson becoming PM, and when these happened the effects on polling were much less. Lots of people like to pretend that their loyalty is logical, conditional & has limits, when it isn't and doesn't really.

💯. If Celtic showed steady improvement in OUR standards, could consistently hold our own against European peers, usually winning against less resourced ones, had clear plans & recruitment to match them, then fair enough. But we don't. The trophy haul is because others have regressed even more.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Thomas Frank is the only one I'm not totally against. But it's all window-dressing anyway, until regime change. We could have Klopp or Guardiola in - the team would be well-coached, but the club would still be terribly run, so the cycle of mediocrity would continue.

Looks like another long hard season of "who's the least shit?" in Scotland. As for Celtic, I've been saying it for years, maybe someday it'll happen: Get the club under fan control. Throw money at Ralf Rangnick until he agrees to become DoF. Let him hire a Head Coach and restructure the entire club.

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

Sorry for the long rant but it’s been building up! 🤬 For me, Celtic’s problems don’t start with one manager, one transfer window or one bad result. They start at the very top. We’ve had the same people, the same influences and largely the same thinking around the club for far too long.
