History makers on Saturday but Brendan Rodgers and his players will have nothing but tomorrow’s game against Bayern Munich on their minds today. In truth, the 100-year-old 62 game unbeaten run achieved by Willie Maley’s team looked like it was equalled despite minds being focussed on Champions League duty.
While there was no shame in losing 3-0 in Munich two weeks ago, Celtic were poor. It was not until Bayern achieved their objectives Celtic players looked less intimidated. We were unpicked repeatedly in defence while we retreated under the merest pressing from Bayern.
A win tomorrow is not beyond Celtic, but win or lose, we have to learn how to compete against teams of this level. We have endured harsh lessons against Barcelona and PSG over the last 13 months. Progress would not necessarily mean repeating the kind of remarkable 2-1 victory we got over Barcelona five years ago, being competitive in the game and defending with discipline would be a start.

South of Tunis , was Cuthbertson’s on Sauchiehall Street or just off it in Douglas Street?
Another huge game tonight in almost 4 months of huge games so far this season.
Young Benyu is being called up for Zimbabwe’s next frendly match on 8/11.
Celtic Underground has a good podcast celebrating 30 years of not the view.
Still as good a read as it was when it started .
My dad loved it especially the Timmite and Hunnite articles.
Auldheid’s contribution to the latest Not the View , is essental reading re the Uefa leter stating sevco are a new club.
Why should THEY. After all, THEY wouldn’t even pay the face painter.
DALLAS DALLAS –
My addled ole bonce thinks Cuthbertsons was on Cambridge Street . It also thinks they had a connection to the Maryland Dancehall . There was a good vinyl outlet on Sauchiehall Street called Bernard Electricals ..
My John Broon story is from about 6 years ago when I saw him stumbling out of the customer lavvy in Costa Coffee on Sauchiehall Street absolutely steaming.
I was on my first date with (now) wife. It was dead romantic so it was…
Our stats V German teams in European competition need some improving.
In 17 matches against German teams, starting with a 2-1 home victory against Dortmund in 1987, we have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 11.
Tonight is as good a time as any to start.

Btw, i think we’ll get beat tonight but i’d like to see us at least compete and make them work hard for a win.
My early choon buying was mostly – Silverdale’s Records & Books – corner of Argyle St / Kelvingrove St . A mega eccentric him and her pair . . Boxes / shelves of American goodies .and the greatStanton’s in the Gallowgate – again -boxes and shelves of Blues / RnB and Jazz . . He was a character — really didn’t like browsers / crate diggers -very much a tell me what you want and I’ll tell you if I’ve got it or can get type of guy.
My post @ 11 07 was intended to be part of my response to Dallas Dallas @10.52 .
A don’t know how that happened thing !

“BTW -I I think we’ll get beat tonight but -”
IMO -a very logical / rational thought -but –
I’ve watched them a lot since the Group Draw was made .. They give me the impression that they could do what they do blindfold . That said they are prone to over elaboration ( why beat the fullback once when you can do it twice / thrice etc ) and profligacy . They get very Hollywood FC if their self perceived superiority hasn’t given them the lead — if that transpires tonight -they could be wide open to a sucker punch.
Big Jimmy…this is for the hun groundsman…

Yes, one can always hope for a bit of the old magic under the floodlights. If we were to get anything we’ll need a hefty amount of luck and the type of clinical finishing that saw us beat Barca (two attempts on target, two goals).
The biggest indicator of improvement that I am interested in is whether we can keep a clean sheet in the first half. That would then allow us to see your observation manifest itself!
