It’s so rare it almost feels un-Celtic to look ahead to an important game without a handful of injury concerns. Callum McGregor missed the kick-off in our visit to Ibrox last month, a game we went into with the prospect of going five points adrift if we’d lost. The win over Newco at Celtic Park in December was achieved without Cameron Carter-Vickers or Reo Hatate (who made the bench but had not played since October).
And who can forget our first trip to Ibrox this season, which saw then-unfancied Liam Scales get a jersey due to the absence of Carter-Vickers, Nat Phillips, Maik Nawrocki and Stephen Welsh. We finished that game with a back four of Ralston, Lagerbielke, Scales and Bernabei – still won, in case you’d forgotten.
Brendan Rodgers had clearly whispered in the ear of those who stepped up in the days before these games, inspiring performances that would have surprised their dads. By contrast, yesterday, the manager told Celtic TV that Saturday’s game “will probably be the best version of the team that I’ve had since I’ve been here”. Adding, “I think after another good week of work and concentration on the training field, we’ll arrive on Saturday as good a place as we have been all season.”
That’s why you feel a little unease ahead of Saturday, you are in unfamiliar territory. Football is seldom straightforward, the best two sides in the country will be on the field trying to win, so the risks are clear.

I have no wish to have a gnome for a goalkeeper at Celtic. Smallest 6′ 2″ I have ever seen. We already have wee Scott Bain. Plus, too many bad habits developing at huns.

You have the floor,
Is she pro genocide re Palestine for balancing the decreasing amounts of monies from London?
Did her party aid and abett Tories in ceasing
debate in London about Genocide in Gaza.

No deflection GP,just looking at how your party are a shadow of todays rightwing sunak govt.mimickin it to gain power.As your new duplicitous friend will say selctive memory indeed.

Shameless report for those that haven’t seen it…
If anyone knows any Green Brigade members, see if you can get them to take it on and you never know, Jamesey Forrest might finally have his own song.
James Forrest Song
To the tune of ‘She’s Electric’ by Oasis
https://youtu.be/h9JZWhjQDvc?feature=shared
He’s electric
He’s spent his whole life playing for the Celtic
He’s done things we never expected
When he’s oan the wing
He comes from Prestwick
And we love him here at the Celtic
His goals are magical and majestic
When he’s oan the wing
And we want him to know
That he’s a Celtic legend
When he’s oan the wing
And we want him to know
That we’ll all remember, like Johnstone, Auld, McNeil and Hay, with Tommy Burns and Paul McStay, like Larsson and McGrory too
James Forrest’s a legend
Can ah be a legend too!

There is absolutely no need for you to apologise to anyone for your horse tip yesterday. I bet it and watched the race. You didn’t put a gun to my head and force me to bet. It was my choice.
A gamble by definition gives no guarantees. It’s the name of the game.
Hail Hail.
LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE
Yes I saw that after I posted.
Much fairer I suppose.
@Big j.What Tom said…..Go smash the cream cookies today…..
The wee ones fine thanks…If i could pass on half her energy on to you …..
i would have ye dancin big time lol….

” I am offering my apologies to any of the GOOD BHOYS on here who may have lost some cash yesterday when the Horse could only finish 4th at Kelso.”
As Tom said, no need .It was good fun and all who took part know there are no guarantees in Horse – Racing.

Good morning Marspapa.
Mornin Lefty , am I allowed to use that term 🤣
Great to see the wee mhan (or maybe not so wee if he’s got his papas genes) getting to see the bhoys against the huns . Hope we’re all smiling with him after the game …..
Martin O’ Neill has reportedly been lined up to take over as the new head coach of Romanian top-flight side Rapid Bucharest.

Agree that we are a bit late with his song, but it would be a great send off for him to at least have one when he’s edging closer to retirement at the hoops.
Jota was in the door two minutes and had his own song, sung by a professional as well. Can’t believe wee James Forrest still doesn’t have a song. 😳🤷🏼♂️💩
Is anyone else having problems getting through to the ticket site? I was informed that I was eligible to have a ticket for the Final but can’t get through.
PCS
I got through no problem and purchased my ticket. What problem are you having?
It’s eticketing.co.uk/celtic
PCS- Make sure you’re on the right link,should bring you to a queue, it’s not the easiest to navigate
This was the song played at the end of Get %7’s funeral service:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX_wwlIZ6ko
Funny moment as we were taking a phot of the wreath and were last to leave the church, we met the wee priest returning who was exclaiming to his mate about the Zep song- “what was that noise at the end- is it just me?”
I’m sure Ger57 would have laughed at that
@Melv aye post it if you want …..When you’ve played the Larkfield Masonic……
Wae a St Christopher roon yer neck you can handle any ribbin….lol

AT,
James Forrest to start. He’s on a roll and confidence is so important.
There is also no chance James will be overwhelmed by the occasion.

Agree. I might also stick a wee bet on him as anytime scorer against them. He’s bound to pop up with a goal. 😃🍀⚽️🏆🇮🇪
Perhaps we could combine two distinct discussions on CQN into a single theme?
There’s a big race coming up later this year featuring a blue rosette (current champions), a red rosette, and a kinda yellowy rosette … plus assorted other outsider runners and riders.
What’s the current betting?
Good morning all from the Brazen. Embdy want a skwerr go?
Or preferably a skwerr sausage. 🤣

Only if you want me to?
Doubt anyone will take the piss, it’s a great effort. Doubt anyone on here can play and sing like that either. 😃👍
Thanks for the help, gents. Will try later as I am not able to do so at the minute.
Big Jimmy – I never got a text from you.
But I backed it but that’s life.
Cheers

I am supremely confident for us on Saturday, but let’s not get too cocky before the event. We know, or should know, what we are up against, officials, cheating diving scum player, every thing against us, so I say, BEWARE.
and ffs, keep 11 men on the park, don’t let them get to us.
Easy really

Do you sign in with your own log in details or someone else’s. We have a group of 7 and I need to make sure I log on with the details of someone who is eligible for a ticket – hope that makes sense and you get sorted.
…..and ,”BHOYS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN”
C’MON THE HOOPS.
Joe
I always have fun. 😉👍
I gambled on buying a flight to Glasgow on 25 May but seem to have no ticket. Missus won’t be happy as she wanted to go to London to watch Leinster.
Conversely , I got one last year and had to go to Newquay ( i sent my mate the ticket)
Nil desperandum, get to choose what pub to spend the day in now
Big Jimmy..in total agreement with others i decided we bet the horse .as someone said you didn’t hold a gun to our heads .I await your next one mate
