I see their board is still firmly backing Neil Lennon.

That's it. Only this time knees are out. We have to lie down, roll around and grunt.

Why would you think I said anything of the sort? People with red hair suffer discrimination, people with no hair suffer discrimination. People with no legs suffer discrimination. People suffer discrimination because they're English. All sorts of people suffer discrimination. Are we kneeling for them all? Should we make a list?

Wait and see. This bullying will only stretch so far.

It's easy to be top banana when no one is breathing down your neck. The test for Celtic was always going to be dealing with the first real taste of pressure. So far it doesn't look like they fancy it.

Yes, very much so. The TV companies and their dependent football authorities who arrange and sanction knee-taking, will drop it like a hot potato as soon as it no longer provides the sanitised virtue-signalling platform they crave.

I would merely argue that it's BLM that has attached itself to the anti discrimination movement, primarily by asserting discrimination that largely does not exist in any practical sense. BLM is a political movement hiding behind the laudable notion of eliminating unnecessary discrimination. And isn't it doing well on the PR front.

It suits Rangers if Celtic never have another free midweek between now and the end of the season. They'll earn little enough from friendlies for the foreseeable future anyway.

That's the logic that keeps Sturgeon running Scotland. How can Rangers "seek" money that doesn't exist and will only ever come into existence for the express purpose of buying shares from Dave King? Does Rangers have to "seek" our support? I thought we gave that willingly?

If anyone thinks Keith Jackson is the key to an open mind then God help us all.

Reading about the so-called Project Big Picture and the EPL's ongoing attempts to find compromise between the drive of the big six clubs towards a European Super League and the impending financial woes of much of the rest of their league system, it's hard not to reflect on the achievements of Steven Gerrard's Rangers. EPL teams competing in Europe are being handed £150m - £170m annually. Not earned through trading, gate receipts, individual club endorsements, etc but handed to them solely by virtue of their membership of the EPL. Yet here we are, with comparatively tiny resources, competing with and in many cases out-competing clubs with massively greater funding. If you could choose one club as an emblem of the dying art of genuine sporting achievement, you could do worse than choosing Rangers.

Leaving aside any fixation with the antics of Keith Jackson, what's really needed in this debate is for Club1872 to explain clearly and in public why £13m of fans' donations should be given to Dave King instead of to Rangers.

Suggesting that the divided response to King's share sale announcement is down to Keith Jackson is as unhelpful as it's unjustified. Besides, anyone who needs the DR to form their opinions for them probably isn't going to make much of a contribution anyway. If the world wasn't full of intellectually weak people, rags like the DR wouldn't exist. Quoting it on here as if we would benefit from knowing what Keith Jackson is saying is demeaning. Let's keep it out.

In any case, I it would be deliberately naive to think Millwall fans were booing their players. We all know they were booing the kneeling to endorse BLM.

Surely being out of European competition means they will be having a few free midweek slots ?

The route to a racism-free society lies in the actions of the individual. If you act like a racist, you're a racist. If you don't, you're not. What helps no one is the deliberate confusion of a self-declared Marxist political movement with a means to end racism. How many people do you think have abandoned racism because some sportsmen "take a knee" for five seconds, which I guarantee you they wouldn't be doing if it wasn't for the TV cameras? Taking a knee is purely about increasing the profile of a BLM movement that has done nothing but highlight racial difference and erode racial harmony across the western world. Coercing acceptance of BLM is not eliminating racism and the fact so many are willing to believe it only demonstrates how few people question anything or ever move beyond parroting propaganda.

I think this happiness has two sources. Clearly this Rangers has found another gear compared with past year but it's not just the level of performance, it's the arrival of a kind of consistency we haven't seen for a very long time. Secondly, it would be disingenuous not to admit the woes at Celtic are making a large contribution - not from a gloating perspective (gloat gloat) but from the reassurance it brings that our journey to the title will be that much easier if they continue to drop points.

To paraphrase Nigel Farage ... “You all laughed at us when Gerrard got the job. Well you’re not laughing now.”

Remember their old banner “At least Barnes could rap”.

Some people have no idea. That’s the biggest stride forward Celtic have made in weeks.

Priceless ?

Things is, we have black and white players, catholics and Muslims, and no doubt straight and homosexuals too. No one bats an eyelid. No one cares. We’re already diverse and inclusive and rightly so. So could we please do without the constant virtue signalling and giving preference to only one end of the colour spectrum. It’s as if we don’t trust ourselves.

I do hope no one will be petty enough to post tonight’s league table ?

Oh no! Don’t say it!

Let's keep Craig off this topic for another 30 minutes.
