The narrative running through this current consignment of pro-Ibrox pish will undoubtedly be very familiar to regular readers.
The central message is that it doesn’t matter that Celtic have a bigger football budget than their eleven-year-old rivals because Mr Beale is at the helm!
Oh, dear…
Smell the desperation.
As ever with matters Ibrox, we must follow follow the money.
That is why I strongly recommend listening to football finance expert David Low in a conversation with Graham Spiers.
The man who was Fergus McCann’s fixer back in 1994 states the basic fact that by building a 60,000 stadium, Celtic have an in-built financial advantage over the Ibrox business.
The essential reality is that Celtic are out of sight until the resource landscape changes between the two Glasgow clubs.
Yes, the Ibrox klanbase still has a sugar daddy craving, but UEFA’s new FSR ordinances are a game changer, especially as they removed the domestic association from the equation.
Hopefully, that nice Mr Bisgrove is part of the future of Sevco’s impressive commercial arm.
He is doing his best.
Hopefully, that is appreciated in the Blue Room.
However, I was worried about him when I saw this.
Trying to flog a tatty brand with such a toxic clientele cannot be easy.
Especially as Sevco often tend to end up in court facing down their commercial partners.
After the international break, Celtic are in Dingwall, and then they host Sevco at Parkhead.
Given the current spat over away fans, it will be a klan-free zone on April 8th, save for a few of Police Scotland’s finest, perhaps.
Not to mention the match officials.
It was ever thus in Fair Caledonia.
The desperate narrative currently being proffered to Sevco’s toxic klanbase is that better days are almost here.
Of course, season ticket renewal time injects an extra dose of urgency to those who have to keep HMS Ibrox from taking in even more water.
On the podcast, David Low ignores all of that and looks at the numbers since the wee man rebuilt Parkhead.
These are challenging times for the supremacists of Ibrox.
The poor dears…

A stroke of business genius by Adidas and Celtic regards the Trainers special edition .
A win win for both parties who can only strengthen the clubs ties with one of the worlds most successful companies and well known brands .
I’m sure it will be markedly more profitable than the recent sale of merchandise over at ibrox with their bizarre AC/DC tie up
Also I’m sure non of our sponsors have been hit with a massive fine unlike a betting sponsor at ibrox.
Celtic are a well oiled machine whilst the basket of asset are reliant on others paying their bills on time and paying dearly for it I imagine .
Building fabric technician has to be the most colourful nom de plume of handyman I’ve ever seen.
Rangers are still selling confettti to keep the lights on – meanwhile across the city 72000 celts joined an online queue to snap up about 4million quids worth of addidas trainers – its all about the money! AND management of a good football club
It’s true that having more money may (shock, horror) confer a sporting advantage; but only potentially.
The money needs to be spent wisely; remember Barkas, Ajeti etc?
At first glance the TV series “The Derry Girl’s” is a “teen angst” comedy showcasing the old writer’s adage ” Show don’t tell” i.e. Show how “stupid” the Irish are. By the last episode you realize it is a stunning and damming indictment of the stupidity of British occupation of the island
I have sat in a car in the border countryside (on holiday) staring back at a young English soldier boy, lying in the bushes, pointing a mounted machine gun at me. Something you don’t forget.
Through three series the writer damns all that has attempted to keep the Irish people down with wit and laughter, and against the latter “nothing can stand” according to Mark Twain.
The last episode is a masterpiece of writing highlighting not just the vulnerability but the determination of the human condition to improve things in circumstances not of their choosing.
Break their spirit? Even in this situation one of the girls states “Derry is class” and is greeted with nods of approval by the others.
The simple scene where one of the protagonists has to ask the a soldier permission to pass while walking along a street in her home town speaks volumes and sums up the outrageousness of the foreign occupation.
If it were a book “Derry Girls” would be “Imperialism for Dummies” written by a genius.
I think Keith Jackson should apply for the painter and decorator job. He does have a proven ‘Record’ of newpapering over the cracks at Ibrox.
Record,Cracks,Paper. lol
Can we all just take a moment to enjoy the phrase “affordable supremacy”? Been laughing all weekend at it 🤣
Celtic are more wealthy, better run, have a manager who oozes class and have the best footballing side in the country.
Sevco have proven beyond doubt this season, that financially hamstrung as they are, that they ARE the best of the rest.
The league in future, is likely to come down to the four games against them. And therein lies the problem. Four games where there will be a referee, two assistants, a fourth official and a VAR man, ALL looking at ways to cheat us. ALL looking at ways to negate everything I stated in my first paragraph.
Write them off at your peril. In ANY future season six games could decide a treble.
But it’s for ‘the good of Scottish football’
Obviously!!!
