The 10-in-a-Row CQN Charity Golf Day at Aberdour was a great success yesterday. The irrepressible Frank McGarvey spoke about his formative years in Easterhouse and beyond, with special mentions of his legendary first and last games for Celtic.
Len Murray returned six years after his previous appearance, and spoke with humour and authority, but most of all with a burning support for Celtic.
The event raised money for The Cookie Jar Foundation, founded in memory of 19-year-old Christopher Coutts, who died of Hodkin’s Lymphoma last year and for the work of Glasgow the Caring City.
Christopher Coutts’ father, David, demonstrated a vein finder. A vein finder is the size of a torch and has a light which shines on the arm and allows veins to be seen.
When Christopher was seriously ill medics often had trouble finding a vein for an injection, attempts were traumatic and distressing. Twice he left hospital without treatment because veins couldn’t be found. On a visit to a private hospital a doctor produced this torch-like device and identified a hydrated vein with ease, allowing treatment to take place.
The money we raise is going to buy these devices for NHS hospitals, where they are not provided for. They will not save or cure anyone, but they will make the treatment of acutely ill people less distressing and, on some occasions, possible.
You can help by bidding for this magnificent canvass, signed by Billy McNeill, one of only two made. You can also help by buying a raffle ticket for the other one. The ebay auction is available here. You enter the raffle by donating at least £1 here. Get involved, you’ll be pleased you did.
On the long drive home from Fife I heard Neymar had left the field writhing in agony after going down clutching his back, just as he did, while feigning, at Celtic Park last season. Forgive me for being cynical. Around 1am news came through of his broken vertebra, acquired from a dangerous foul. Let’s hope he makes a full recovery.

Charlie Booked for late on. Bit of reprisal for Pukki foul earlier.

Austrian commentator has run the full gamut of cliches about Scotland: bad weather, agricultural tackling…

Celtic on the attack, Balde fires over from 25 yards
Good effort Amido…looks like he can actually hit the baw!!

That’s a good point away from home. We’ll do them at Celtic Park. :-)
Scoreline a bit of a smokescreen for a very good overall performance in a big game.
Considering we gave them a goal of a start….a good result.
Decent result in a European cauldron!!
KTF
Decent showing in Vienna.
Ronnie is certainly giving youth a chance to shine.
However, Derk…dear oh dear.
I had such high hopes.

Ta, nice one.
Well done RonnY.
I thought Kayal was man of the match he worked hard broke up many attacks and tried hard to be creative. H.H.
Away goal may be crucial
Ah well, need to see if I can catch any of our next two friendlies in a Barcelona pub if I can be spared from my good lady’s side.
Is Michael Collins still the best bet?
Early doors and players already being rubbished.

Probably trolls …….. Bless them…!!
Overall a good workout with plenty of positives. Delighted Pukki got the goal, he ran well to get into position, first effort a bit tame but kept his cool & slotted the rebound well. Only downside is Brooney’s injury, hopefully its not too bad. I assume that Biton & Watt must be carrying knocks and Ronny not risking them.
Vienna we actually gonnae win a match in Austria??
SFTB
I was there last year at this time. Michael Collins showed all the pre-season friendlies.
Thanks Kingoh
I may be spared to watch one. Might be pushing it to see 2.

Vienna we actually gonnae win a match in Austria??
Who cares? Tyrol the huns you know, it’s gonnae be 10 in a row!
That game should get the players fitness up that was a very determined Rapid side and very partisan crowd, our possession needs to be better though

Cheers, wish I hadn’t asked…..?? I hope we are not paying him for this……
Good run out for the bhoys , bit of a hostile crowd .
lets hope Broony’s not too badly injured.
roll on tuesday

Celtic have fielded 22 and 19 players in the 2 pre-season friendlies thus far, but still no game time for Tony Watt.
So Ronny Deila joins the long list of managers/coaches who have an inexplicable grudge against the young striker.
Ho hum.
Good end to a great weekend in Kirkcaldy. In a Clydebank rebel shop having watched Celtic and now listening to Wolfe Tones on the Jukey.
There’s a uniform thats hanging!
No a bad display imo. Kayal played well and he’s not my fave player!!
Hamstring for Brown
Didn’t see the game were there any other unused subs apart from Watt?
