Now, you see that is the obvious image response, and fair play for going to the obvious. However seeing as I don't have one, I'd suggest I can. The club being used by one of the the OF is unpalatable, but it all went into the coffers to keep us going, because you know.. administration is a tough gig as I'm sure you will appreciate. Thing is it's not unique to us, all the clubs in and around Glasgow have had one of the OF use them, whether it's youth, reserves or whatever.

I can totally see how it looks and to be honest if it wasn't us I'd use it as banter too! It's a frustrating thing having to be in a position where we "need" to do this (although I think it was also a favour because they were stuck unable to use Parkhead, I'd need to check back on that). Wouldn't it be lovely if the funding for all clubs was enough so we could concentrate on our own shit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory their was a season when Fergus McCann was there when the SFA gave Celtic Hampden to use as their home stadium ?? Great point about funding. Not in this country though where a large number of people travel to watch their ‘own’ team - or even worse support them from the couch.

It was a pre season thing as Celtic Park was being worked on in 2015. Celtic rented Hampden back in 1994. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BEN Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I believe Celtic are worthy of the title as are Dundee Utd. Hearts were in big trouble but could have fought their way out but Hamilton and St.Mirren were showing a good turn of form. Partick and Falkirk have been hardest hit. There is no fully fair way but as a fan who has sat through 45 hrs of my team playing all over the country, not to mention cost, null and void is the worst outcome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 It’ll be interesting to see the differing reactions from the two Glasgow teams fans, and indeed club statements, when Bet 365 don’t pay out for Celtic winning the Premiership, if as expected it is called early. The rest of us will get a bloody good laugh at it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eder Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 1 hour ago, The OP said: Juventus - 1pt clear after 25/26 games Celtic - 13pts clear after 29/30 games At no time have anyone connected with Celtic suggested they are due anything other the League based on the standings when the games were halted. The facts are points have been won over a substantial period of time and cannot (or at least should not) be taken away for the reason given by Big Ben above. For the benefit of them that are looking for away out of an unsuccessful season, Cup football is all about the last team standing and hopefully the Scottish Cup will be resolved between the four sides left one day when possible. However leagues that are not as clear cut it will be interesting to see how they get round the issue and I still think Falkirk have been hardest done by. To be honest I would struggle to accept that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I would struggle to accept that decision. I’ve never really understood the stances taken by Celtic and Rangers on the leagues being called as they stand. Logically, Celtic should be doing their utmost to force the games to be played,as if they’re not, this league title will forever be tainted and no one from Rangers will ever let them forget it. From Rangers point of view, they should be desperate for everything to end now. If it doesn’t, Rangers will be looking at the points difference increasing from last season’s 9 to the potential of 15/20 this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits them fine as like you say they were likely to lose the league and their season has imploded. They need the money but at the same time cannot be seen to be conceding the league. This is all just noise to get the hordes on board and to make sure they buy season tickets. A null and void with current standings money dished out would be perfect for them. I don't know a single Celtic fan that wouldn't want the league played out and I still hope that happens. I have seen fans using it as a wind up as if this would be better as it would annoy the **** more. I don't know where the notion has come from that Celtic are desperate for the league to be ended early and to be awarded the title.

gannonball Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 There’s only one desperate guy here, and it isn’t Scott Brown or Neil Lennon. I dont usually mind Bennet tbh he's just a bit tedious and not really the brightest. He’s becoming rather obsessed though of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
