King just needs to shut up. He's an absolute idiot of the highest order.

Questioning the authority, honesty or if someone is fit and proper really is the height of irony.

If the guy didn't buy his way out of jail he would be there for the rest of his days. He's bent to the core.

Ironic or not, if he believes there’s an issue with a conflict of interest, surely he should raise that issue?
yep in the appropriate manner
I’d also be all for him publishing the 5 way agreement

Tough draw for Aberdeen in the Europa. Hope they can put on a good show. I can’t help but think that if our league was ongoing presently in our fine summer months, it would be a great advantage for the Scottish teams’ coefficient.

Celtic have done fantastically well to get to the CL groups in recent years, but you fear what happens to our chances as a country when Celtic fail to qualify a couple of times, and the shortfall isn’t made up by the others.

A tough draw but a good marker as to how the 2nd best team in Scotland over recent seasons fairs against solid Premiership opposition.

Full stadium, TV coverage and all in all not a bad way to start the season for the supporters.

How many games do Celtic need to play this year to reach the group stages?

Indeed. I’m perhaps a strange case but I’m quite happy for other teams to do well in Europe. Ultimately I want the best players possible in Scotland.

I think it’s about 8 for Rangers and Celtic to get to the groups, and Aberdeen have a 1 round head start. The country and club coefficient counts towards seeding, as I understand it, so the better Celtic have done; the more it helps the other Scottish clubs.

I read a detailed paper a couple of years back that set out the issue of the co-efficient and what a challenge it is to turn around. I'm with you but realistically I can't see us ever getting into a stage again when we have clubs automatically into the group stages of either competition.

It's going to be tough for all the Scottish clubs this year where Europe is concerned.

Celtic are at least seeded for all their qualification ties, but when you draw Rosenberg in the 2nd round of qualifiers it shows how tough it will be.

The only positive for Celtic is that they don't budget for getting into the CL proper.

Rangers just announced that all away fans will be in the corner between Sandy Jardine and Broomloan stands.

Ie Celtic will get <1000 fans eek
Love it. They're hurting badly and circling the wagons. Next it will be the release of an orange away top to really appeal to the hordes.
Orange kit you said? hehe

Lol. I do enjoy the orange kit, did the last one too. Think it’s something about the contrast with the blue that sets it off.

Nah, it's the 5 stars for each year in existence that's the real selling point! wink

In fairness, I think Airdrieonians went the way of that Rangers team that nobody ever talks about.

I didn't realise that Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibs will earn from the world cup

£800k for Celtic on account of having four players present. Talk about money for nothing.
