Primary teacher explains to her class that she is a Rangers fan.

She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Rangers fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand? "

"Because I'm not a Rangers fan, " she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Rangers fan, then who are you a fan of? "

"I am a Celtic fan, and proud of it, " Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.
"Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Celtic fan? "

"Because my mum is a Celtic fan, and my dad is a Celtic fan, so I'm a Celtic fan too! "

"Well, " said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Celtic fan.

You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then? "

"Then, " Mary smiled, "Then I'd be a Rangers fan. 🤣

MON and Derek McKinnes have a chat at a managers conference. MON says to DM, what’s your ambition for the year ahead, DM replied i'd like to win the league, what about you? MON replied, I’d like to win the league, the Scottish cup, Wimbledon, the British Grand Prix, the British Open, the snooker world championship, the FA cup….

DM buts in and says are you taking the piss, MON says well you started it 😊.

I’ve just seen a video of the Hearts goal on Sunday.
They were allowed to take a quick throw in 15 yards ahead of where the ball went out of play.
I know the Officials are not as strict as they used to be regarding throw ins but that was ridiculous.

21 Oct 2026 19:29:45
Said as much to Mrs 🦊 before they actually scored. Then he pulled it back for a similar, but less serious, advancement later when the throw in came to nothing. It's not for me to suggest anything untoward about that šŸ˜‰šŸ¤”šŸ«£.

A would concentrate on 3 players going to the 1 man then he squares it to an unmarked player to score from, very poor closing down from Calmac and Bauer but scored 7 so can be forgiven this time.

21 Oct 2026 20:34:25
Probably caught out because they weren’t expecting a quick throw in 15 yards further up the park.

Just reading about the Scottish clubs earnings in Europe

Sevco will only earn about £925K after being eliminated from both Europa and Conference Leagues

Hearts to date will earn about £4.5m+ with chance to increase that

Celtic so far have earned £11m+ again with chance to earn more depending on results

What annoys me is even with such small earninngs the Sevco board have backed their manager by spending 10 times their earnings and more

Meanwhile DD and co are topping up their bonuses.

And look how much it would have been if they stopped fann%ng about with the Champions League qualifications money.

I read our referee for Sunday Ryan Lee is a big Hearts Supporter.
The two clubs he hates the most playing each other.

Watching a couple of the CL games tonight, PSG v Barcelona in particular and it is frightening how far off our game is to these teams. Kind of makes me glad we didn't qualify for the competition.


We would have been on the end of some outrageous defeats and that is not a negative attitude towards Celtic, just reality that we are miles away from competing in Europe.

21 Oct 2026 08:12:45
DD didn’t allow Celtic to spend money made from the CL on seasoned professionals anyway with an Annual profits made in the transfer markets.

21 Oct 2026 09:30:35
Buzz, I reckon we could have spent every penny we have and still been miles off the mark.

21 Oct 2026 11:33:13
Most of the "top" teams in Europe are likely to be hundreds of millions of £s in debt. While this is somewhat serviceable from their income, the debt mountain is only increasing.

In the whole scheme of things it is utter madness paying hundreds of players, many millions of pounds a year, to kick a football around a park. It could be a huge house of cards, where if one major broadcaster, (say Sky) went bust, many clubs would be bankrupt overnight!

21 Oct 2026 11:41:37
I would be happy if we spent the same amount in the transfer market that we bring in from selling our best players.
Not investing properly every year is why we have continued to regress.

 2


21 Oct 2026 14:26:49
Absolutely spot on Buzz, we're not asking to blow all our cash in one window, but the least we can expect is re-invest what we bring in on transfers.

They are in another universe those top clubs. It is different football.

However I watched the midweek Palma v Torino game and tbh for a Series A game, the quality was very poor.

Most leagues outwith the top 5 leagues, top 4 or 5 clubs, are not the greatest to watch, even the mid to bottom PL teams getting huge tv money.

The elite European clubs have all the money and that will continue as far as their share of tv money and UEFAs need to tailor their competitions towards their leagues.

If they keep going, they will eventually have their own super league, which is clearly what they are heading towards.

That should of course not prevent us doing our best to make progress in the top European competition and try and compete until they make it impossible for us to qualify.

I'd actually forgot mccowan existed for a minute there. Is he totally bombed out?

20 Oct 2026 19:55:22
Yet bizarrely started against sevco.

20 Oct 2026 21:16:53
McCowan and Tounekti have had their chances and blown them.

 7


20 Oct 2026 23:41:15
Both lads seem very lightweight and easily shoved off the ball by more solidly built guys. Tounekti is just a wet noodle at times.

 3


21 Oct 2026 00:10:37
It's a shame for McCowan but after Baur has came in, I can't see him getting anywhere near the team.

 7


21 Oct 2026 09:18:48
The commentator mentioned McCowan’s last 3 starts have all been against the latest Ibrox club.

 1


21 Oct 2026 11:40:05
So what do we do? Play Baur every week until he is injured, then be forced into using another midfielder who is miles off the pace due to limited game time.

Or, do we properly manage the squad to ensure they all have plenty of minutes in their legs and can slot in seamlessly when required. While McCowan may not be good enough for Europe level, he is still a solid player capable of contributing for us in the SPL.

I have read all the media coverage about Berg and how he is potentially going out on loan.

Yet again it was an opportunity for some to criticise our recruitment, claiming how can he get a game when we are looking to get Gervitis in January, another waste of 3.8m, however it appears that he is injured and has a foot in a boot, so he appears still to be in MONs plans.

He was highly rated back home and around Europe, and the consensus was when we bought him, it was a great buy.

ED007 I saw your earlier post about the Russian leader is that where the Celtic fans got the idea for the old song

"PUTIN ON THE STYLE".

Born and raised in Musselburgh so probably has more of a leaning towards an Edinburgh team Ptfp.

He was our referee away to St. Mirren when he turned it into a farce.

I remember watching his audition which he passed with flying colours ā˜˜ļø.

21 Oct 2026 00:15:49
Just because he is a rubbish ref doesn't mean he supports the dark side.
Everyone said Gollum was an Orc but he is actually a Celtic supporter.

Nick Walsh is doing VAR at Easter Road on Sunday.
Still waiting on the referee appointment to be confirmed.

Is there still an intention of some fans to boycott the game or will everyone show togetherness and give the team the backing they deserve on back of Sundays result? We can give them an incredible boost and ensure we carry and encourage momentum.

DD is holding the football team back.
We would be the team he is looking for, if he invested before the CL qualifiers before not after they were played.
Celtic would have been that team in the CL every year, progressing and growing the side.
Better players, bigger transfers fees in and out of the team.
His way is clearly flawed, and that coming from a billionaire clearly shows football isn't his bag.


Don't be fooled by a big victory against heart.
For the club to grow, DD has to do a massive u turn or leave the club.
We are already loosing money and will do for the foreseeable future if we don't qualify for the CL.
The rainy day money he goes on about will be gone in no time because we are run like an amateur club in the big boys league.
Desmond out.

20 Oct 2026 08:48:50
The fact that we speak about what DD is doing to our club demonstrates what is wrong at our club.

He is not the owner, only the minority shareholder, yet he has an iron grip over our club.

Without him our club could thrive and be even more successful.

Because of his interference we didn't strengthen properly over many windows over many years and have missed out on CL qualifying and trophies domestically.

We have a situation where he may eventually leave his shares to his son, who has demonstrated already he has a dislike for the fans and if rumours are true involves himself in the recruitment process even when he is not employed by the club.

Sadly our future is not looking great when we should be pushing on and making our mark in Europe balanced with domestic success.

We are like a couple who split up but have agreed to stay in the same house.

 7


20 Oct 2026 10:53:27
We're all agreed about DD. In a sense that's the easy bit. A big score against a rotten Hearts team doesn't change anything.
But name I team that's benefited from a change of ownership. The bottom line is there's no money in the Scottish game and that ultimately is what F****s us.

 3


20 Oct 2026 10:35:42
The AGM will reveal an awful lot about the way forward. If the support gain nothing, it time to go after DD whenever wherever. We know what gets to him now, If he wants to be left alone by the Celtic support, give us a reason to.

He acts like Putin bombing the crap out of Ukraine but the minute they retaliate he thinks how dare they.
If DD wants total control then he takes total responsibility.

That wasn't a rotten Hurtz team mate they have been playing well recently and where the toP scorers in league, a put it down to a great Celtic team Performance.

Would rather have wee Vlad in charge of us rather than DD, at least he’d want us to dominate Europe ( I get that his methods are questionable) .

Chasa your last sentence couldn’t have been more correct, need to take full responsibility, but does that mean he’s responsible for the total success, domination of Scottish football, for bringing players like kyogo, maeda, eduord, dembele, the list can go on and on,

I don’t think he is or should be responsible for all that success, so how can he be responsible for all the failings,

As a fan I’m can only also go on the face of things, and don’t see ex players coaches mangers saying anything bad about our club/ board / dd, there’s a devisive disconnect that to be honest doesn’t matter a jot if dd puts the right people in charge at Celtic, for me that’s where he’s failing massively and needs resolved. he can sit back with his shareholding all he wants, the issues are so fixable without ownership change, but the ā€œmeaningful change but needs to happen somewhereā€.

20 Oct 2026 21:15:26
The problem in my personal opinion, is that for all the domestic success and dominance we have had, is, that it’s like beating your small cousin at subutto for 15 years. Is that because you are utterly brilliant or is your cousin utterly Shiite. Clearly the latter because every time we face any opposition in Europe we get horsed. Most clubs with a modicum of ambition would have used that domestic dominance as a platform to progress, not a reason for standing still.


As for the comments before about wanting DD to invest in the team/ club, no one is asking him to invest a penny. We want our/ supporters money to be invested and it should not have a damn thing to do with him. He is NOT the owner
As much as I love our history, I’m so tired of it being reeled out as a diversion to our future.
If the AGM gets railroaded again, it’s open season on the rancid lot of them.

20 Oct 2026 21:20:44
As for the former players, coaches and managers? Think that’s more down to NDAs or some hoping to get their snouts in the trough at nepotism FC at some point in the future. Call me a cynic, but I’ve watched this movie for too many years.

21 Oct 2026 20:14:39
Chasa ndas are regards disclosure, I don’t believe for one second they include you can’t comment on future ins and outs or give opinions, yeah br nl ange ronnie d wgs etc aren’t going to be providing in n outs of there time at Celtic, but they would give opinions on time others are there, players prob don’t have ndas, there’s just not a que of people doing tell alls backing up the narrative dd and others are terrible people and bad for club, or calling for change, there’s just not.

I think you’ll find supporter money is invested, but I think you mean money in bank, which I agree, we’re too conservative with spending, but I think that stems from not having right people within the club which stems from dd, round the houses stuff.

21 Oct 2026 21:47:07
Maybe that the playing staff are mostly transient and enjoyed the experience of big crowds, good money and winning stuff. After they move on they aren’t that interested. The support on the other hand are into the nuts and bolts at a micro level the executive would rather we didn’t.


Said before, support have been unhappy for a very long time, the domestic dominance kept a lid on it but not any more.

Just looking at the Besiktas squad who we play in EL. 1 ex Celtic player Oh and 2 ex Sevies Yilmaz and the water thrower Cerny play for them.
