I’m largely ignoring the defensive lapses of last night. There will be at least two changes for the Champions League, and everyone will be far more attentive. It was, though, a concern that both Kilmarnock goals came as a result of Celtic’s left-hand-side being breached.
Malmo’s Age Hareide will have noted this, and whatever attacking resources he deploys next week are likely to try to exploit a perceived weakness. Ronny will have a choice: Izzie or Charlie? My money’s on the latter.
Tom Rogic didn’t have the perfect game but it was good to see him take so much responsibility. He’s looked like the office junior of the Celtic midfield on previous outings, as did Nir Bitton for most of his early games. If Rogic has genuine talent, we need to let him find his feet in games like these.
Ronny Deila answered all questions after the game but gave little away. I hope his dismissal of injury worries was accurate. Kris Commons is the gravy in his pie. We are capable of beating anyone without Kris, but we need him doing his thing if we are to take a comfortable victory to Sweden.
Yesterday I was looking over Celtic’s form in November 2006 after doing an interview for a French magazine, who are writing a piece on Shunsuke Nakamura. That was the month Naka scored the goal which sent us top of the group and into the knock-out rounds of the Champions League for the first time – with a game to spare, no less.
It’s less well remembered that earlier that month we went out of the League Cup after losing at home to Falkirk on penalties, or that we couldn’t win at Easter Road immediately after the Champions League win.
Indifferent performances and results surround some of our greatest European performances. Getting it right when it counts is what matters.

Summa

Clogher
Will be there about 7.15. Hope to meet and chat amigo.
Thanks DD,
Heading off. Hope to meet you.
Clogher
The best bit about this transfer – if it comes to pass – is how Sevco thought they had boxed Hibs into a corner but how they have been outflanked and outmanouvered by Petrie and Leeanne Dempster after having been given enough rope to hang themselves. Clever Hibs.
How did the old song go? “He used to be a hun but hes alright now” HaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I am loving Friday already.
huns GRFUY.
DD
Asked earlier if anyone had odds on Hibs winning their second tier league. Some midfield they will have. Maybe they could get another loan in for the season?
Dixie
Scotty fits where Alfie used to. Magic haha
WC
Would loan them SS. Maybe big O’Connell?
Operationkeepthemdoon! :)
DD
or
SA
I look forward to the Railly Decord story on this – “Scott Allan Shame – His Lies, Betrayal and Treachery laid bare”.
WC
Haha. You devious mind. :)
I pinched this from the Huddleboard
CelticRockRoars: Apparently Ronny went to see @frankieboyle on Sat night & said it was the funniest thing he’d ever seen. Lawwell replied: Really? Watch this
Made me laugh.
BFDJ….said “all rangers have to do is sit back relax and they will get him for nothing at the end of the season” hun mentality……3 bids unsuccessful……no sign of 4th bid guess they were running out of tenners
I heard he was dead,
Are/were you Snake Plissken?
Hail Hail.
Howlin
Whatever happened to the moonhowlers ?
Bada Bing, nice to see you back on here, you were missed. I thought you’d kicked the bucket and your pals G64 and the big cross dressing cabbie had forgot to tell us.
Hail Hail big chap and I hope Tom McG is still looking in and follows you back.
HH the Rutherglen massive.
Well, I’ve been having both technical and manual input issues with the new set up.
Technically all is now hunky dory.
Manually, I’ve been struggling with the desire to comment or reply to some of the wankers who’ve posted since I got my techie issue’s fixed.
And they are legion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as evidenced by today’s blog.
I’m about to become a lurker and I think I like it.

In the old days, players were regularly farmed out to Junior clubs.
Blantyre Celtic, St Roch’s, Ashfield and many others became breeding grounds for youn budding Celts.
And this was in the days when we ran 3 competitive sides, first team, reserves and combined reserves.
It looks like lending a player to a lower league side is the modern counterpart.
My problem is that it makes it difficult for a player to catch the manager’s attention when he is training elsewhere and the club has no control over diet, intensity and type of drills.
The boy will find it difficult to return and fit into the system of play and therefore be unable to make the leap to first team football.
There’s only one moon and I found out tonight there’s a queue
GG,
Made a great comparison but forgot lending out to juniors was exactly the same so zero new there, only thing is, glad we’re moving back to that idea.
Next, sorry buddy, but if the player is starring in the lower leagues everyone in the lower leagues is talking about it, just like Bertie and many others who got farms out.
Small country, quality gets broadcast, if the BHOYS go and shine at “lower” level they still shine and still need assessed by who exactly ?
So anyroadup,
Me, I’m against sacraments being dismissed by laws.
I’m against evolutionists that expect immediate results because they have a problem with logic.
I’m against gods that demand an eye for an eye
I love it when you ask a question properly, you get the truth, even when the truth is hidden.
I really love it when I witness good human beings, being happy
Young Mr Allan may become a hoop…. if that’s the case I’m going to have a chuckle
Ayrshire is Green and White
Westminster calling
Oops got a bit carried away there, I’m only mildly fond of human beings being very happy
MickTT, the invite still stands for this weekend at Venacher. Mr Pike awaits us.
AGCR,
Still recovering from the last bout of starfish poison, nn there was me told as a sweet young innocent it was a rusty sheriffs badge, are you trying to limit my options.
These StTrinians Uniforms are no cheap
ACGR,
I hope you are well.
Hope to see you in Dublin 2016. It will be some Craic.
Canamalar,
Not a good post at 2.05am. My son reads the blog for example and we don’t need that.
Anyway,
Movie over, bed.
Cloghet
Canamalar, you’re even more of a let down than Neg2, at least he made some feeble excuses. You’re just the same twat that never turned up three years ago when I invited first invited you to meet me.
I’m lurking mostly these day’s but you have my number and still fanny about like a wee lassie.
Goodnight Celtic Men and Wummin……………………..and canman’rs
Clougher,
It’s time yer bhoy grew up, sorry pal, but if you want yer kids to be eternally innocent then tell them to log on to CNN or Fox News, even the BBC, don’t seriously expect to come on to CQN and live in lala Disneyland, then again, you could be right and I could be banned for asking people to use their intelligence instead of their conditioning.
Canamalar,
Sorry I don’t agree.
Thanks, for your company,
Clogher
Canamalar
From the above, yer no a bum man, just a pure fanny,
Cot time! Good night, all.
Seems I picked a good night to be doing a full shift!
C’mon lads,geezabrek!
Let’s all laugh at the huns hurting as their master plan backfires. Their main opponents have been strengthened instead of weakened due to their efforts in unsettling Hibs’ best player.
Gorralaff,brilliant bit of work. Especially as I think all three players-two of whom are now Celts-will be improved for this.
HH
Ger57,
As an outsider,
What do you think of the humanness race ?
Canamalar, after our last chat, I still think you’re a loudmouth, a dick and a let down.
Don’t bring others into the discussion as you tried to do when we talked.
You lied.
You didn’t turn up
You disrespected my young un
You ranted and raved in a drunken stupor, and denied. I, my Celtic friend have a very good memory,
Bullsitting Tims dot com
A twat
Not much on the telly in Kazakhstan, that’s why I ended up watching a ski jumping championship. There isn’t any snow, just grass. Anyway…
Andreas Wank
Seriously, one of the competitors is really called that.
