Promised Land Reached - Well Done Celtic

I SAID last night would be "squeaky bum time" at Celtic Park, and, I was right. As old Craigie Broon spent years telling us: "there are no easy games these days" and the Kazaks were never going to lie down and roll over as "diddy" foreign teams once did in the face of a fired-up Parkhead.
 
However, in the end, even though they left it late, Celtic took their place in the Champions League group stages and well done to them. How far they go, we don't yet know, we must wait to see which group they end up in and how their opponents are playing. But, good luck to them.
 
Maybe the Kazaks' mistake was sacrificing a sheep for luck before the game - had they sacrificed an Aberdeen supporter, it might have turned out differently.
 
 
 
THE Rangers brand made great play of signing-up James Traynor as 'Head of Media' earlier this year, at a presumably nice big wedge.
 
Now, until he began to believe his own BBC/Daily Record-generated publicity and visualise himself as: 'The Thinking Man's Chick Young' - young James, though not even the best football writer in his family - elder brother John is the much-better wordsmith - was a terrific operator.
 
I don't see what Rangers are playing at hiring "media guru" Jack Irvine, when it comes to writing good copy, he cannot hold a candle to James Traynor. It is spending unnecessary money on things like hiring Jack Irvine, or paying consultancy fees to the likes of Charlie Green which will ultimately cost Rangers dearly.
 
Memo to Rangers - YOU ARE IN A HUGE HOLE - STOP DIGGING.
