Benfica will arrive in Glasgow tomorrow without having played a competitive game since 2 September, when they thumped Nacional 3-0 in Lisbon. They arranged a friendly against Real Betis on Wednesday in an attempt to prepare them for this week’s Champions League challenge but the lack of meaningful football is less than ideal, especially at a time when clubs are looking to build sharpness.
Celtic were idle for two weeks before Saturday but have played nine competitive games this season compared to Benfica’s three. They also have the benefit of not having to sacrifice a day’s preparation to travel.
Fitness late in the game, perhaps accentuated by the use of substitutes, could be crucial. Celtic’s best chance of winning this one will come in the second half. Run the lungs out of them, Celtic.

“Saturday was one of the worst Celtic performances in a lot of years.”
Usual insight and accuracy from Murdo.

Thanks mate , I try to avoid the Scottish news .
You just know they are going to mention the now dead club in a favourable manner , to keep up this masonic charade that everything is alright at Asbestos Dome.

Yep same on the HTC but now using laptop and the H in Hamilton is capitalised. Not sure I like it :-)

Will that maybe be like a decade since St Johnstone managed to beat Celtic, type insight and accuracy?

Like above.
Your right! Makes you look like a door handle.

It wasn’t wasn’t communal by no means but the individuals concerned could be heard by those who may want to exploit the situation

Full report, TFPLG interview, highlights of the flop at Annan, virtually no coverage of the SPL.

You can’t do it via iBone. You need to use your PC, lappy or Mac.

You mean like Celtic ‘supporters’ who would use it as a stick to beat our support with?
A little distraction over on Etims, pretty funny in my opinion
regarding AJ’s No surrender defence of the EBT’s.

Trust me I’ve been all of the above today!!!
Heard on Clyde this morning that 2 huns went to Arran at the weekend instead of Annan.
Oh I hope it’s true :-)

Just go back to ignoring my posts , I’m used to it at work , in the house , everywhere.
I just live in my own wee world and talk to myself , I usually bore myself to sleep.

Terrible result, yes. Performance?
From last year alone:
St Johnstone (H) 0-1, Kilmarnock (A) 3-3, Hibs (H) 0-0, Aberdeen A (1-1) – all a heck of a lot worse than Saturday. (In my opinion, of course.)
Also, Murdo annoys me. I want that recorded.
I haven’t heard a decent pundit on that show for a lot ae months.
Investigation into betting irregularities on SPL game at the weekend
Apparently a £1m bet was placed online on St Johnstone to win 2:1 with Commons as first scorer placed at 100/1.
The ispn has been traced back to Celtic Park and the computer of one P Lawell has been confiscated.

To a typically negative post.

Was hearing that we were going to have a look at Thomas Hitzlsperger the other day.
I believe he is still a free agent.
Could the mystery trialist be him?
=====================
That would be interesting.
He has, as the great commentator Partridge put it, ‘a foot like a traction engine’.
Happy Birthday to ………eh FourGreenFields bhoy!!!!
(seeing as his daft faither didn’t see fit to give him a name :-)))))))
Your very welcome Four Green Fields.
Very… Snooooorrrrrrreeeeee

Only joking buddy. Keep up getting involved. I like non Troll posters like you.

Stop ganging up on me , I’m a poor wee sensitive soul.
His names Aidan by the way.

Will keep the wee man in my prayers this week.
Can you ask him to mail or text me please, he has some stuff that he’s prepared to donate for the quiz night mate.
Muchos…..
I rarely post however I couldn’t let the appointment of Mr Collum to referee a champions league match pass without comment. This appointment confirms the influence of Hugh Dallas is still alive and well Collum is an acolyte of Dallas and is being rewarded for his “loyalty” from within the corridors at Nyon
Collum is without doubt one of the worst referee’s I have ever seen and never strays from ensuring he is “on message” from the SFA blazers
I wonder if the UEFA Delegate will judge Collums performance with his back to the action
Milan should be afraid as they will never have encountered such impending incompetance ……..
Good luck to Wee Marco Bhoy.
Fingers crossed them darned good docs in Yorkhill get them legs working.

Aidan, MANY HAPPY RETURNS WEE MAN!!!!!!!
