We waited three long years to get there but I suspect I’m not the only one who will be relived we’re not plunging straight into another Champions League game. Most Celtic fans shrugged the Camp Nou defeat off, but I hear the players have taken it all a bit personal. They want to respond appropriately in that tournament, however, there is the small matter of a trip to Inverness to deal with first.
Wheels come of the Celtic barrow at Inverness. Repeatedly. On paper, the Highlanders have endured an awful start to the season, but if you drill down you’ll see that their five league games have seen them play Aberdeen and Hearts away, and lose a local derby to Ross County. Form will improve when they face lesser-resourced teams.
Statistically, you are more likely to drop points away from home after an away European tie than at any other time. Ronny Deila defied these odds during his tenure, let’s hope Brendan manages to channel the frustration in the dressing room into a performance and result against Inverness.
While Celtic and Hearts have opened up a gap at the top of the table, the rest of the league went through a concertina last weekend. Any team from 10th placed Kilmarnock and up could go third over the weekend. Does that make it the most competitive in Europe? You could make a case, the champions aside.
Joint-fourth Ross County will go third if they win at Ibrox, while Aberdeen, Dundee and St Johnstone will all fancy their chances of being third if County can only take a point.
I was pretty keen on Joey Barton heading to Ibrox this season and his actions over the last 24 hours show why. No idea what happened on Tuesday, but he issued an apology of sorts on Twitter last night, before deleting it, and then went on live radio this morning saying, “I don’t think I’ve done anything to apologise for”.
You know best, Joey. Don’t take any crap from a manager with five games of top-flight football on his CV, or team-mates who don’t deserve to be on the same field as you. Apologise for telling it as it is? I don’t think so.
Mark my words, we’ll have him doing the halftime draw soon enough.
The Kano Foundation
Sannabhoy asked me to share this from The Kano Foundation, who will support their 5000th child at the Kilmarnock game later this month.
5000 kids! I’ve no idea the extent of the social impact The Kano Foundation is having, but it’s awe inspiring. It grew from the CQN community, when our pal Martin Kane, who is no longer with us, took seriously ill.
After we Brought Martin Home, the guys involved realised they would be able to harness this force for good going forward, and the Foundation was born – out of your efforts.
Here’s what Sannabhoy had to say:
“The Kano Foundation is holding our annual bucket collection at Celtic Park before the Killie game on the 24th of September. This game also marks the 5000th child that we will take through the turnstiles to see Celtic.
“We are really keen/ desperate to have as many people help us with the bucket collection as possible as every penny raised goes towards allowing more children to get to see Celtic.
“If you can spare an hour or so please get in touch with us as we would be absolutely delighted to have as many people as possible rattling buckets. Please drop a note to Sannabhoy at Sannabhoy@thekanofoundation.com or go online to our website The Kano Foundation.
“Every single volunteer is worth about £50-100 to us so the more we have, the more we can raise and the more kids we can take to Celtic Park. We are now up to 102 child tickets at each game meaning we can now take almost 2000 kids each season.
Thanks and Hail Hail.”
You’ll speak to a hundred Celtic fans, have a great day and the weather’s going to be warm and sunny, I promise, so go sign up.

In goals for the next team we play
Haliburton walks out presser because of Joeygate questions.
In a way we should really feel sorry for those at Sevco, as I was always taught not to mock the afflicted.
The afflicted they certainly are, as the set themselves up for huge disappointments time and time again. When involved in serious to ancual doping they tried for tenin arow faiked,. They tried to buy the European Cup..failed, they tried to win the UEFA Cup playing anti football..failed,and in the last few weeks before a ball was kicked they were going be Celtic’s nearest challengers ?
When will these eejits ever learn ? HH
No word from Joey bhoy on twitter, maybe he is still on the drive up to Inverness
Scottish football needs Rangers.
Aye.
So how does Brian Kennedy take control,will it be another coup d’etat ala Dave King?
Glib must stay!
The bread man thought the hun were good today, so do I.
Delaneys,
if you are about, have a word with those nephews of yours,
only a draw the day, no good enough ;-)))
Monkey game was the only scoreless game in the all of the Scottish leagues, Highland and Lowland leagues included.
I’m just lovin it !
If I saw it right it appears that Wobbly Warbo took off his two main strikers that he paid good money for ( nedlad Garner and Shaghorn). That’s the ticket Warbo ya majician substitute your so called strikers when the home game sits at 0-0 ????
Is this a first for Clint over the Hill…being part of a defence that keeps a clean sheet ?
Just had a wee peek at the mankies FF site. Their talking about a Sevco pitch invader whos actions interrupted their flow of the game.
It also appears that other Sevco fans were pelting the invader ( who held onto a goal net ?), with missiles ?
Now correct me if I’m wrong, pitch invasion, missiles being thrown on the field of play ?
Will the SFA investigate those disturbing scenes ?
Warbiola walks out of press conf after a lapdog asks about Barton, once he knows he’s being worked from the back he will walk
After 6 games last year, Aberdeen had 18 points, Celtic had 16, Hearts had 15.
Hearts and Aberdeen in particular were over-performing. Has the new team in the league caused them to go weak at the knees.
Or is it because the fixture computer had them playing (and losing to) us, thereby providing false positions.
Fortunate to be 4th with their points accumulated so far.

Heard a Sevco friend talking in the boozer last night
I went up to a steward last week ” I need the toilet, cannae use they wans cause they’wrecked”
Steward ” Sorry I cannot help you”
Sevco ” They don’t care about us”
Is this what you call irony?
HH
THEY’RE wrecked

I would suggest we are now starting to get an insight into why no English clubs showed any interest in the loaf ……. wonder who will go first …. him or sevco … hahahahahahaha
All ťhe Queens soldiers and all the Queens men can’t make Sevco the Raingurs again.
BSR
…:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Queen of the South could knock Sevco out of the cup this week, QoS top of the first division.
I went to Brentford today.
Aiden McGeady was clearly the best player on the pitch – but didn’t look too ‘engaged’.
Gladbach 4-0 up on Werder Bremen after Wednesdays thumping. Hopefully we’ll show the same bouncebackability tomorrow.
Soupy….awfy braw…..
Braw.

Ronny Deila ( that Norwegian diddy ) won more top flight titles than Warbiola won more top flight games.
Was the use of concave at the end of Phil’s piece a Freudian Slip.

Just as it took them until this week to remember that Barton is a yob.
