The Monday Morning View from the Gutter

God I must have been drunk this weekend! Today I actually find myself thinking that the Evil Emperor David Murray has actually said something that makes sense. This self proclaimed bastion of the Union has been quiet of late, as he only makes comments when his team has won something or has season tickets to sell but today he has called for the farce of Fir Park to be dealt with by alternative means. One wonders if this is a pre-emptive measure due to the drainage problems at the Death Star?!

The Moonbeamed succulent lamb fine wine chomping entrepreneur has today called for Hampden to be made available to both Motherwell and ground-share buddies Gretna to prevent an even greater fixture back log. With Saturday's game against Motherwell having to be cancelled and with there being every chance that next weekend's game could suffer the same fate Murray has become an unlikely ally. By making sure that next weekend's Gretna game goes ahead, Murray has given Celtic every chance to be on equal points with Rangers going into the Derby match at Ibrox!

And meanwhile, stories have again emerged that Shunsuke Nakamura is ready to drop the heady heights of playing in front of 60,000 adoring fans and scoring sublime freekicks in the Cathedral of Football that is the Champions League to play for his first team Yokohama Marino's.

Yeah right!

Yours in Celtic
