David Potter pays his respects. Please no bad language or tribalism on this thread. Their support reached the gutter on 29 December but we should not follow them on the same path.

Bobby Brown – A Gentlemanly Ranger | The Celtic Star
It was with sadness that I read about the death of Bobby Brown at the age of 96. He is one of the very few Rangers players who deserves a place of honour on a Celtic website! (The late Eric Caldow was

to places like Mexico and Chile etc for meaningless thumpings and long distance humiliation. Celtic have kept punching hard above our weight regardless. Our European monies have helped keep clubs afloat like the Mortons and dunfermlines of our leagues hearts as well all very close at times to going bust. While the SFA continue to charge their member clubs cash (used to be something like a grand , may be wrong but money clubs cant afford) if they wanted to "appeal" decisions etc , knowing fine well most clubs cannot simply fork out a thousand pounds or hundreds of pounds in the vain hope the SFA might uphold their appeal. So the smaller clubs don't appeal anything too expensive to question the SFA. A small club could go to the wall just challenging refs decisions. Lenny was spot on of how our club aren't appreciated, we help clubs to survive and pay their staffs wages and we are hounded by the media eejits (whose wages would not be the same either if there was no strong Celtic to report on . No we are pilloried for being successful and the oldco now newco heralded for getting through the group stage once (not the big cup groups of course) they could easily have taken other clubs already in financial peril down with them when they tried and did cheat , bribe and bully their way to the phoney 9. That's ok of course in the SFAs book. Probably not in Gretnas though. A footballing country , co-founder of the game, a once powerhouse of a national side with clubs capable of beating the very best and conveyor belt of talented youngsters have been let down badly by the SFA and I dont believe theres a place for them in the modern game. 1 governing body should oversee Scottish football made up of bright intelligent young individuals and out with the ancient cronies who look after themselves, they were never moving from hampden, and werent kidding anyone when it was mooted as it would have been a quicker death to them. Celtic, Aberdeen and some others may have survived the extinction of glasgow rangers but many smaller clubs ? The sfa and rangers complicit in almost destroying the leagues and rangers are rewarded a 2nd chance. Theyve held the game back for too long, reconstruction was a shambles with often 8th place finishing with more pts than 6th.failure to export our game bar one deal with bein sports and skys scraps
RIP
