Jozo Simunovic has had an unusual first month as a Celtic player. His solitary appearance came in the Amsterdam ArenA two weeks ago, injury has kept him side-lined since, but there’s a good chance he’ll face Fenerbahce in two days’ time. It takes a lot for a 21-year-old to make his club, then home, debut in these circumstances.
Getting it right in defence on Thursday will be the most important area of the field for Celtic. The responsibility to attack normally lies with the home team in Europe but Fenerbahce will attack for all they’re worth at Celtic Park. A home defeat to Molde means that even a draw away to Celtic would put the Turks in a good position. They need a win and will have watched some of our defending this season.
Ronny played it perfectly against Ajax and I’d be tempted to do the same again. We can score against anyone at Celtic Park. Defend properly and we’ll do well.
Thanks to everyone who donated to the Foundation since our Great Scottish Run appeal went out yesterday. The Foundation are currently working with the British Red Cross, Refugee Crisis Appeal, assisting people fleeing war and persecution in the Middle East and Europe. Money raised from this month’s Jock Stein Anniversary game went to this cause, and, in line with many other clubs, €1 from every ticket sold will go to assisting refugees. There’s a lot more to come on this subject.
The work goes on in other areas, of course, as the Foundation works with those who fall through the cracks in society, and sponsors projects with the sick, or families who need assistance. There are a number of us participating in the Great Scottish Run for the Foundation, you can contribute on any of the pages below:

If you are running for the Foundation and would like a shout for your donations page, email me, celticquicknews@gmail.com
And it’s not too late to sign up, get the trainers out, and run it yourself!
Thanks for your support.

Bhoys / Ghirls,
Clearly the cost for some to attend multiple games is untenable.
We have to find solutions or our crowds will decrease year on year.
Use the League cup for under 21,s only.
Sell Lennoxtown and use the cash to buy / loan better players, subsequently increasing our standard of play.
Price games at a realistic and affordable cost. Even if it means we only break even on some high profile games. Again this will stimulate interest and make family outings possible. If our youngsters do not get the ” bug” then our future fan base will be affected.
There are many more options that must be pursued but one thing if for sure:- doing nothing is not an option.

mortgage fraud. See Lord ( honest I’m a socialist) Mandy; filled in his mortgage application which was devoid of the truth, he forgot to mention he borrowed £509k from another Labour MP which was a criminal offence. I wonder what happened to him?
if we are pure keeking ourselves about fenerbahces strikers and we cant agree on the best defensive personnel then why dont we go for the 3-2-2-3 formation?
so, 3 left backs, 2 left central defenders, 2 right central defenders and 3 right backs
that means all of our defensive choices will get a game, and we wont leave ourselves exposed at the back, especially down the wings where we have had problems
simples.
Bolitics and it is! so scroll by.

is that an apology for a million lives displaced/blown to bits in iraq? na dint think so.but layered brit nationalism is still alive and pumpin out its shaaat.your empire is dead tho its ‘city’ still has a say!
tit for tattery dont do it.
Bawsman,
snp instigated thatcher govt,- correction,a rebellion against so called socialists birthing monetarist policies that the witch herself could argue were to stringent after busting the country in 1976.your party have form,
pfi,a fine source of income for the 25/30 years left for those in receipt of contract.maybe they added to the trillion buck credit party,
being of the left i welcome Jezzas speech today and i am interested in his moves against the capital markets to be restricted,something the war criminal and gordon the dyscalcic never done.Neo cons disguised as socialists
i understand your tubthumpin today,alas the truth and yet another betrayal is only a matter of time before the well meant betrayal comes along,which is the only thing certain… well that and taking no responsibility for their mistakes,no insight and a hunlike memory me thinks .
back to Celtic for me but flatulence typed is nearly as annoying as those dam pop up thingmis
HH to both you Celts:-)
Read it Ernie, quite unsettling him trivialising ‘a wee stabbing’. He seems to have great knowledge of mortgage fraud, did he work for Lord Mandelson? Or Lord’ I used to be a Troyskist ‘ Darling, who claimed mortgage payments for his home in Edinburgh as his ‘second home’ and when he flogged his second home he said it was his main residence to avoid Capital Gains Taxes? Ernie, you’ve had your snout in the public trough for years, glad it all ended. Any corrupt MP/MSP jail them. Oh Ernie was Labour Lord George Foulkes at the match on Saturday? I hear he is not a fan of the Catholic Church, on the Popes visit to Scotland, he signed a motion against any public contribution to this Head of State, apropos the government pays for any visit from a Head Of State. Lord Foulkes son was find for sectarian abuse, surely he didn’t pick up any vibes from his da?

Bawsman,
But they weren’t though. one was shifted due to commonwealth games.
=====================================
We’ve cancelled the first/second home game of the season a couple of times
SFA ban Celtic’s Leigh Griffiths for 2 matches and fine him £2500 relating to his singing about former Hearts player Rudi Skacel.
MurdochauldandHay & Wee Oscar
The ban is suspended according to many tweets I’ve just seen.
Bawsman,
Aye I know. I thought you meant last season only.

Outcome: Breach admitted
Sanction: A fine of £2500, payable within 30 days, and a two-match suspension, triggered if there is a further breach of Disciplinary Rule 77 before the end of season 2015/16.

Temperature on Evening Times press seats at Celtic Park to be turned down a notch, Churnalist getting less chocolate sprinkles on their Latte and single instead of double chip chocolate muffins as a consequence of their anti Celtic tweet.
FFS Celtic grow a pair and confront these p#i#ks.

Thanks for the clarification
The tweet I seen didn’t have the full transcript
Apologies

If that’s the best defence you can mount in favour of Comrade Thomson then she’s stuffed.
The interesting point politically of course is that the nats haven’t sack her from her from her post yet. The fact that she was ever selected as a candidate and still remains in post makes you have to wonder what hold she has over them.
Does anyone know a Celtic supporter from Garthamlock called ‘ The Big Cowboy,?

Pleasure was all mine big Mhan. At every game ,as I said to Sky, I get to put more monikers to more faces. Looking at some of the coupons (DD) not always a good thing x.

EILEAN – stunning podium and hat trick.
Great post p67 – we’ve got to be strong, they will actually think it is in their control
ernie lynch on 29th September 2015 5:07 pm
It all looks very dubious. Although in fairness it’s worth noting this comment from The Herald:
“Police sources stressed that Ms Thomson was not being investigated as part of the initial investigation”

He turned up last night on TV proclaiming, without a hint of irony considering his central role in Blairism, that Corbynism was ‘All Spin’.

you’d had thought they would have used their creative language talents to call the Hertz fans, East of Scotland football fans in the similar way they described the Sevconians as from the West.
I get the feeling they don’t like us…

EBT, Not sure if this was psoted before but a very interesting article from the Telegraph, go towards end of the article where HMRC are apparently going after the individual recipients of EBT’s.

Charlie Adam’s brother Grant,was lifted a couple of years ago in Glasgow for secterian singing,embdae know what sentence,if any,he got?
WEEMINGER on 29TH SEPTEMBER 2015 5:14 PM
I suspect that might change as the investigation develops.
Follow the money.
What’s interesting is that the lenders appear to have done nothing about what has happened.
It seems to me that if they’ve got a valid security and the loan is being serviced they’ll turn a blind eye to all sorts chicanery and it’s only when their funds are at risk that they go after anyone.

Found guilty, and fined £500 for sectarian singing May 2013

BSR-Thanks,they make up the fines and bans to suit the player and his club……HH
I had the misfortune to tune into STV Sport about 15 mins ago,,,,Raman was speaking to Waghorn about how many goals he can score for the 3 year old club against postmen and plumbers,also how they will challenge for the title mext season and qualify for the champions league.
Raman never thought to challenge this by mentioning there record against top flight clubs…sycophantic garbage.STV just like SKY and the BBC are fully behind the myth,nothing but good PR,,,absolutely sickening.

The best Celtic player to come through the system in the last 40 years talking to the best Scottish football journalist in the last 40 years……..
Probably the best two footed Scottish Celtic player ever?
Probably the least two faced Scottish football journalist ever?
Aberdeen is the connection between the two of these guys…..
Wonderful interview…..

What a player we had.

Waddell on Shortbread says Griffiths got off lightly,(£42,500 fines),then goes on to mention the Tonev ‘verdict’,a rat.
My friends in Celtic,
Have we seen better players coming through since our ” luxury ” training and development centre in Lennoxtown was established.
I would argue we have seen less talent. This is a worry, but of course there is an answer.
