We need to make our own decisions.

Every time you watch TV, or listen to the Radio, or read a newspaper, the same theme screams out at you, RANGERS IN CRISIS, well Celtic need to ignore those headlines and concentrate on our own club when we plan for next season.
Lenny has already spoken about a number of players leaving, and I think that number will be in double figures, the squad needs to be trimmed, if nothing else to save the wages of players who have little or no chance of playing in the first team.
But I hope we don't update our playing squad based on the assumption we will be playing against a weakened Rangers team, we need to be aiming at the highest level we could be playing at next season, and that is the Champions League.
We need to assume that we will qualify for the Champions League and set our stall out accordingly, I would think Lenny will be looking to bring in at least three quality players who can step into the first team right away, players who would be comfortable playing football at that level.
If Rangers go out of the SPL It will certainly be tricky balancing the books, but that the job of the Directors, and Peter Lawwell in particular. There is so much uncertainty surrounding the whole fiasco that it could drag on into the new season, we can't wait around to see what will happen, we need to act now.
I don't think we can afford to lose any more season ticket holders from Celtic Park, we may well lose up to half of the TV money, and the sponsorship money could also drop considerably. Peter Lawwell said We don't need Rangers to survive, and that's true, but only if the Celtic fans continue to support the team financially.
I was delighted with the way the team performed this season (2011/12) after a shaky start, we could have, and probably should have won the treble, but the most important target was to win back the League Title, that has been achieved, and with a bit of style too.
Now it's time to stand together once again, no matter what happens to Rangers, Celtic are still flourishing after 125 years, and that is down to the dedication of the Celtic support, let's continue that for another 125 years.
Hail, Hail, YNWA.
