Kilmarnock don’t enjoy visits to Celtic Park, winning only once there since 1955, but seldom have they been on the receiving end of such a humiliating result from such a young and inexperienced Celtic team. You and I have seen these games – especially in the League Cup – go wrong so many times in recent seasons: Morton, Falkirk and Partick, to name just three.
What we have at the club now is energy and purpose that makes even our experiments seem potent. Brendan Rodgers must have been delighted at what he got from his players.
For some, like Leigh Griffiths, it was another hour nearer full fitness. These minutes are crucial in preparation for the almighty test of the season against Astana at Celtic Park one week from today.
Really pleased Roy Aitken will be around Celtic Park more often in future in his new role as Club Ambassador. Roy was a huge figure at Celtic in the 70s and 80s, but there’s at least one generation since who know little about him.

Martin O’Neill knew how to handle people like that and made a few £s out of it.
BATEEN BHOY SAYS PADDY COME HOME on 9TH AUGUST 2017 5:07 PM
Draw for CL group stages is next Thursday, i believe. Usually a big event around 4pm UK time.
Say WUT? Can’t be?
TONYDONNELLY67 on 9TH AUGUST 2017 4:58 PM
When’s the draw for the last eight in the L C? Is it after tonight’s games, or will they have some obscure date next week for only reasons they’ll know, like us getting Aberdeen or Hibs away?
Tonight’s first QF tie from draw already pencilled in …
Rangers v Livingston …
At least all these fish puns keeping politics off the blog – no more talk about Nicola Sturgeon …

“…Was looking for”Its a grand old team to play for”and went to the wrong place.Anyway,this came up,
Looking for some info on this song,they claim as one of “their own”.
…
I have been going through some old vinyl I have come across up in my loft,and discovered some Rangers/Orange/Paramilitary LP’s…
Someone came back with,”I know Glen Daly recorded it in 1961″Was met with”Eff off Taig”
They finally decided it was not a Celtic Song as it came originally,from a Musical,by Gilbert and Sullivan !!!!!!!…”

Truth stranger than fiction – tune is from the Gilbert and Sullivan Musical – the Pirates of Penzance :-)

This article describes Hail Hail (The Celtic Song) as a bit of a hybrid with the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore and With Cat Like Tread from Pirates of Penzance
http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Hail+Hail+%28Grand+Old+Team%29+-+Song
To follow my last post which was uploaded too quickly.
I always felt that Hail Hail would lend itself to an operatic version belted out by Lesley Garret would be wonderful.

Naw. She told me to get someone to stop letting you oot.

Definitely not Sinatra right?

I`ve often thought how good some operatic numbers would sound if belted out at celtic Park. The Anvil Chorus , as you mentioned , would be great as would ` Va pensiero sull’ali dorate ` ( The Hebrew Slaves Chorus from Nabucco). Verdi lends himself to being sung at Celtic Park :-).

If he has swelling they will need to wait until that reduces then scan it.
We allowed to talk about opera? :))
I know we are flying and have enough going on in midfield – but I often wonder if this guy will ever come home ???

The Hebrew Chorus has, ever since I can remember, has been my Dad’s favourite piece of music, along with Begin the Beguine by Artie Shaw.

Re talksport;
Awful station(heard it a few times,not my choice though).
The story about Brendan starts with……I think……..by mills.
The less said that……….

A horrible station.
The less said the…..(not that)
If I was Brendan I would be suing the bollix off Talk Sport for defamation, the club should also be suing them.
Utter scum
Mo’N wouldn’t think twice and he would win.
Here…
What time is Sevco’s home draw announced?
At the same time we are drawn away to Hibs?
Davido
Since March 2009 in Scottish Cup and League Cup
Celtic 5 home – 19 away
Rainjurs and Sevco 18 home – 6 away
According to reports the Roberts loan fee is £2.75m and we pay his full wage at £25k per week. So were looking at an outlay of £4m with no potential return. If that is the only option i would take it as we would get Paddy back and could recoup most of that through replica shirt sales, increased ticket uptake etc. However trying not to get greedy, a permanent deal would be a much better option. Giving Citeh first refusal and a sell on cut if they don’t want him means we should in theory at least break even throughout the duration of his stay. Reports suggest this is what we are working on at the moment.
Wee Jimmy and Sir David.
Love to see them banned forever.
The Halfwit Mafia:)
HH
What’s more likely; an away draw for Sevco, or a nuclear war????
Guess I’ll practice the ole duck and cover then…
