Technically we’re not preseason anymore, but today’s friendly away to Dynamo Dresden is an important step. There are six weeks before the end of August, with five Champions League qualifier match days in that time.
Tuesday’s gentle introduction to competitive challenges was probably a good place to start for Celtic, this week’s run-out at Murrayfield will allow more of the squad to get some miles under their belt, but you can be sure we will meet our match at some point in the next six weeks. It would be better for all that Dresden expose as many weaknesses as possible (at the time of writing that doesn’t look likely).
As usual, the mantra for these occasions is: no injuries.
Legia Warsaw are on league duty this evening. I hope we have someone watching.

If Lizzy can lay a wreath for our republican dead we can accept her at Celtic Park – end off as far as I’m concerned.

Pete,
Are you a St.Pat’s Dumbarton man like me or St Pat’s Dublin man? ;-)

I just want Celtic to play St Pats. And if St Pats knock out such a guid team as Legia. Celtic better be ready for a real battle.
God is incredible, I do him an injustice saying that, he is a lot mair than that.
Dumbarton born and bred and still staying here with Mum & Dad. People that Love me unconditionally.
Apricale,

Murdoch’s goal in that game will live with me always.
His rocket shot hit the underside of the bar and bounced up and down a few times before nestling in the rigging.I can’t for the life of me remember us missing a penalty though.
Good squad of posters on tonight and the tone of the blog is witty and informative.
The clip of the zombies’ rally outside the big hoose is hilarious. That was an amazing PA system max headroom was using.
And folk are worried about them challenging us?? Hahahahahahaha!
For the PC brigade…. I changed the title to “Whitesout“.
The Frankfurt School is Real, IMO, always remember that I know absolutely NOTHING.
Stop and look around – you could miss it.
Petec,
I had this feeling you had moved into Dumbarton.
Don’t know why pal.

If Griffiths is played in the proper position he will get the goals.

Aye, as I said to 16 roads in the email, I will need to get an updated drivers license…. Biometrics, not too happy but I will get it sorted. Argyll Street was mental, it was almost like going hame frae Cheers in Dumbarton when I was a lot younger.
Tricoloured. Agree mate. He is the only goal scoring striker we have
Time ti Ditch the dead wood
Stokes. Always looks as if he will do it but fails again and again
Pukki. Failed as a goal scorer at every club he has been at
Balde. Not even going there
Iceland dude. Heard he was piss and what I saw of him yesterday confirms that
This is not new. If we had 5 if the best coaches in works it would still be the same
Lawell get the biscuit tin opened now
Petec,
Rant away mate, enjoyed your company at the pool tourney along with all fellow cqners.
Kip time for me. HH
Tricoloured Ribbon 03:06,
He is waiting, anticipating and ready to pounce.
I am working alongside so many people who are not young, they certainly ain’t old and about 75% of them still take Coke and E’s. The temptation is so strong, I know those Class A’s definitely open up your mind quicker, I’ve been there and chased that Ultimate feeling ever since it happened.
It was incredible, when I’m over there, I will tell you it all. It was a hook to get me to open my mind enough to let Spirits enter, that didn’t care for me one little bit.
Never Judge Anyone, is all I can say.
Sydneytim.
There are two out and out strikers .
Griffiths and Tony Watt.They are the best two bar none.
I love Tony Watt,just hope to God he can screw the nut.
Pukki,might just might,make it.

Tricoloured Ribbon,
Ye are like 16 Roads.
I wondered a while ago if WolfTone was a FreeMason, I think Henry Joy was likely one.
Control All sides…..
Tricoloured ribbon. Watt is a project never been a prolific goal scorer
Pukki has never made it anywhere don’t see any reason that will change
We need a prolific goal scorer no more projects

Hi ST, I hope ye are well.
I disagree, I think Pukki will be sensational next season and merely excellent this season.
Derk and Amido might not make it, although I wouldn’t discard them so quickly.
RONNY Deila highlighted the positive outcomes from Celtic’s draw against Dynamo Dresden as focus now shifts to Tuesday’s visit of KR Reykjavik in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.
The Hoops made their early pressure pay in Germany when Kris Commons clinically found the net after good setup work from Teemu Pukki and Callum McGregor.
At half-time, the manager rang the changes as all of the travelling squad got further game-time under their belts.
Sylvano Calvanious levelled the match for the hosts midway through the second half as an entertaining match finished one apiece.
Played in sweltering heat, and following some intensive training sessions, the manager was pleased at his players’ efforts when he spoke exclusively to Celtic TV after the game.
“It was a very tough game with the heat and I’m proud of the boys as they worked hard for 90 minutes after I had trained them hard yesterday and then they had the long trip to Germany,” said the Norwegian. “The result was ok and now it’s all about getting energy into the game on Tuesday.
“The first 20 minutes were good, and I think we got the physical shape out of this. We had a lot of chances in the first half and again at the start of the game but we need those periods to be longer.
“Every player got 45 minutes in a nice stadium with a good atmosphere so it was worth it. But now it’s important to let the boys rest so we are full of energy and have no excuses going into the game on Tuesday.”
Craig Gordon started between the sticks to make his Celtic bow and the Scotland internationalist turned in an impressive performance, making several excellent stops.
There was also a debut for Icelandic frontman Holmbert Fridjonsson, who came on at the interval in place of Teemu Pukki.
“Holmbert is a talented boy and he needs time,” said the Hoops boss. “It was good for him to get 45 minutes, his first appearance in the top team under me. He did well and worked hard.
“I was very pleased with Craig. It was a fantastic performance and he was like a cat in the goals and everything seemed easy. I am happy for him after two years and three months since the last time he played.”
Stand-in skipper Kris Commons caused some concern when forced to leave the action prematurely after a clash towards the end of the first half. But the manager was hopeful he would be fit for the second-leg encounter against the Icelandic champions.
“He got a knee in his thigh,” he said. “It can hurt but I don’t think it’s very big and I hope he’s ready for Tuesday.”

Sydneytim,
This project bollox is precisely that.Bull.
Tony Watt and Griffiths will bag goals galore given the chance.
You know as well as me this board ain’t gonnae spend big.
There’s a guy though who will do the biz.Nicky Powell.
Not in Van Gaal’s plans…Lawwell go and get him.
Goodnight .
