After Tuesday night, you might feel a slight sting. That’s pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps. Continue to bank Premiership points, mature as a squad and grow the club, because a year from now when we’re kicking it in the Champions League, you’re gonna’ say ‘We’re progressing’.
A week ago I suggested a case could be made that the game at Ross County was our most important before the international break. I know that game has already faded into memory, but argument stands. Champions League football is everything to Celtic – our biggest earner, best way to attract players, the sugar in fans’ tea, we need to be there and we need to improve results when we get there.
We are a significant way off the highs of Gordon Strachan’s Champions League campaigns (yes, some people were always unhappy), and we need to redouble efforts to return to that level, but until then, the importance of winning at the weekend can never be overstated.
Our coefficient monkeys did their best last night to make sure Celtic continue to reach the Champions League in future seasons. Still a lot of work to do before we can assume anything, but fair play to them – every club in the league must do their best for Scotland’s perennial champions.
While Celtic legs and minds will be weary after our humbling in Madrid, Aberdeen flew back from Greece overnight after a respectable draw with POAK, and will travel south tomorrow ahead of their game at Celtic Park on Sunday. Barry Robson is making progress but the international break surely cannot come soon enough for a squad which is far lighter than Celtic’s.
I expect a backlash from Celtic.

What exorcism was that?
St Pauli drawing with 3rd placed Hannover meant they stay top of 2nd tier in Germany.
Huge match in 2 weeks v rivals Hamburg SV. Buzzing for a first personal visit to the Millentror at what will be a massive occasion.
Despite their not seeing eye to eye with the GB on Palestine and other things their club model is a really good one which many could do well to follow.
Meant in 3 weeks for St Pauli v Hamburg.

‘Cause you’re the only god that I will ever need”

Stop, stop, stop. This nonsense about the great European hun achievement is a myth. On their road to the final they played 21 games in Europe and won 7, that’s right seven. Remember in that year we got binned on 9 points, they got seven and got to the knock out stage.
They , apart from one season, have been playing in the EL, by far a lower challenge. The one and only time they were in the top tier they recorded the worst CL record of defeats/points.
Give me a nanosecond with Simeone.
He is so anti fitba.
He is Mouriinho mk 2
Anger is an Energy…..
He uis a scumbag.
Also from the same song
Give you back a dream
Show you now what might have been
For the tears you cried will fade away
I’ll be by your side
When they come and say goodbye
We will live to fight another day
Looking forward to sunday!!!

Thats a fine essay on Brian Quinn.Thanks.
A few years ago i met Brian coming of the train from London.
He was an inspired appointment by Fergus and had sheer pedigree,as you document,in financial/city circles culminating in his job at Threadneedle St.Fergus loved being surrounded by quality decision makers like him,and he could read a Balance Sheet,his time at BoE was a time when that skill was needed,capitalism was becoming(even)more feral especially in mergers and acquisitions where big chewedup small.
He did change the need of the club to go to major shareholder,the last issue being around 06/07(Dermots note to city) since then we have been self financing.
A stable Chairman at the time cheatin was going on with the sfa’s worksteam was off the scale.He set our path right.
When i met him,and chatted to him,he was friendly,i thanked him for his rigorous handling of the Juninho ebt issue which in its own way was class,all notes,all contracts and vitally all-engaging with HMRC in short doing everything the rampantly cheating hun did not do with Hector.We done all HMRC asked and never took on anyone who,like Juninho had an ongoing issue.
Hope all good over the pond

Also bummed about news (on here and elsewhere and not actually news) that “Lawwell” has wasted £15m.
Double bummer.
Could’ve had £87m in the bank.

If opera ain’t your thing … fair enough.
Give it a minute between 1:22 and 2:22.
Bros, Take That and Boyzone all thought about covering it apparently.
