Celtic are used to putting in the miles but this month they play an incredible six home games, surely a record (?), with away trips only to Edinburgh to face Hibs and Hearts, and Dundee. If you are keeping an eye on historical records, eight of our 12 games until February are at home, with a trip across town to Firhill the only other away game on the schedule during the period. Deal with Hibs on Sunday, and we will take on an even more formidable look.
8 games in 29 days is as packed a schedule as anyone in Europe will have this month, but the lack of travel will help players prepare for each subsequent game.
The unbeaten domestic run is set-aside tomorrow as we conclude the Champions League group stage against a resurgent Anderlecht. We will talk more about this game tomorrow, but get through this one, and the adrenaline will flow sufficiently to see us through to the winter break.

The DUP is no different from any other party. They all want to have their cake and eat it,wi jam tomorrow.
When was the last time you voted with conviction,and weren’t left disappointed?
Seriously,I’m scunnert wi them all. Far as I’m concerned,they can do what they like. I couldnae stop them in the first half of my life,I doubt I can now.
SFTB, it’s akways my fault in my hoose, even when I’m not there! I’ll probably be a bit later tomorrow as well!

Vale Bhoy,
Yes you are right on the money sadly.
Jenny was Stephen’s wife and when she died earlier this year his light just slowly went out.
As I say he was my big Cuz, took me to Firhill many a time and despite my persuasive tongue I could never cure him of his Thistle loving faults………. Thank God.
Because of Stephen, those trips to Firhill and one or two other things I always look out for the Thistle score and always will.

Wee choon for Theresa May as she looks at her friends and foes and wonders which is which.

BRTH, that was a very moving post about your cousin today. We all meet at least “one of the good guys” who is taken too early, and often tragically. Their true gift, IMHO, is that they leave a legacy that tells us how our lives should be lived and what kind of people we should strive to be.
Stephen sounds to have been such a man.
Each of us would be blessed if at least one person who survives us speaks about us as eloquently as you have spoken about such a loved cousin and man. God Bless you!

Using CQN as a platform to illicit charity is acceptable in my opinion, however, using it as a sales pitch is beyond the pale.
It is interesting to me that the prime directive of Brexit is to limit the freedom of movement of EU members in and out of the U.K. and is a more important issue than British industry British agriculture British education. It’s the kind of thing people in the housing subdivisions of Britain are most concerned about. Sort of a Stonehenge element.
The left has let every one down because invariably they have all got into bed with corporations to further their own ends. No imagination or understanding of history.
Anderlecht coach Hide Vanhazzabuck has attracted the attentions of Peter Lawwell.
I’m not a Labour voter, but I have been.
Watching the Celeb Jungle, yeah I’m a people watcher, Kezia has been a bit boring and dour faced.
Then she got papped oot.
And in live interviews in the studio, she has been funny, smiley, really likable, and intelligent.
All in the edit, which you can’t do live.
Aha
As a crap car
A bit like CQN no?

especially for the DUP who are capable of bringing

Gerry Adams said something along the lines of….the DUP and all of their constituents, and their cultures and traditions, would be welcomed and, treated equally, and with the utmost respect in, any unification process on the island of Ireland and that is exactly how it should be. That…..is what you call leadership.
If you dont believe me, check on YouTube, they’ve even got highlights of Cellic gemmes wi no commentators, ye know what kind of commentary we’ll get with the SMSM but, for me, the worst indeed, the most deceitful commentary comes from Celtic’s own TV, backed up by the hysterical Tom Boyd, dear, dear. Best commentators are, Chris Sutton BT, and Alan Sneddon and, Murdo MacLeod on when theyre on Celtic Tv imho.
Anywye,….guid luck tae the Cellic tonight.
……oot.
Good morning Bhoys from Dublin Airport. The place is full of Glasgow bound Hoops and there’s good banter here. Really looking forward to the game tonight.

Good morning, friends and Happy Champions League day.
Confident that tomorrow we’ll be pleading with ACGR to send us the Europa League ringtone ;-)
BRTH
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I chucked it early last night.
That’s a double blow.
I knew Jenny well having worked with her for a number of years before she and Stephen moved to the Borders.
I’m so sorry. She had tried to contact me last year at work, when a mutual friend died, but the number passed onto me was wrong so I never did speak to her. Used to meet regularly at SQA events.
A sad day.
Respect to all who are making the real effort at this unearthly hour to be in Paradise tonight.

It will probably be easier for our fans coming over from Ireland to Glasgow than for us trying to get 7 Miles into town this morning again

As we prepare for Anderlecht, a review of the Paris (Mis)Match. If Europa football is delivered that is demonstrable progress. But against Europe’s elite, was this better than the battering in Barcelona?
Get on yet bike BT…!
BT it’s easier to get down from Stornoway than for you ghuys in the Central Belt!! Leaving on the 12:35 Benny and I will be in the BV after 3.Another 3-0 to the good ghuys. Hail Hail Hebcelt
BT,
Don’t get me started on transport infrastructure again. :)))))
HH.
Some tremendous posts yesterday it made great reading back this morning, CQN at it’s very best.
Thank you BSR for the updates on excellent CQN’er Eurochamps let’s hope he’s well enough to see his team glide into the Euro League tonight.
Brogan a wonderful tribute to your Jaggy cousin, may his soul Rest In Peace.
Let’s hope Tom Boyd is commentating on the game, proper Celtic man working for the club he loves:))
Bring on the Lechters:))
Who’s that team we call the Celtic, who’s that team we all adore:))
Starry Plough Tom Boyd and our very own Kickinthenakas are up in Stornoway on Thursday as guests of the Stornoway Saltire CSC doing a Q&A session, looking forward to it. H H Hebcelt
HEBCELT
Whit a night that will be, send my best regards to Kickinthenakas when you see him please:))
Two true Celtic gentlemen..
For me, tonight`s game is a proper challenge. Both teams are Champions and neither has achieved that via an influx of ridiculous and unearned sums of money.
I know we beat them 0-3 in Belgium but I feel these are two evenly matched sides and I can see tonight`s being a proper contest in a competition which features too many ridiculously one-sided games.
JJ
Sorry, meant to ask before posting the above. What is the news on Eurochamps?

First honest article I’ve read since all this DMc tapping up began;

I’m worried that if the huns don’t have a new manager in place before they play us the press might start linkin’ Brendan with the job and we might start playing shite and get gubbed by them.
Really concerned.
MELVIN UDALL
Read her last paragraph again.
If that is not a call to arms for McInnes nothing is.
She sounds as desperate as the smsm hoardes.
Women huns are the wurst.
