Bookings, injuries, tactics, fitness. Tomorrow night’s about everything apart from the result

168

I was away last week and missed the Rennes game, so I have that ‘Can’t wait to see Celtic in action’ buzz right now.  The outcome of the tie was decided in the first leg when Scott Sinclair added Celtic’s third goal, but the game is important preparation for the stiffer challenges ahead.  Boli Mbombo and Christopher Jullien need every possible minute on the field to become part of a solid defensive structure.  Everyone in the squad has fitness work to do, and remember, this is Neil Lennon’s first proper chance to work with the players on new tactics.

It was at this stage last year that Jozo Simunovic picked up a red card suspension, despite Celtic winning the away first leg 0-3.  It made no difference in the end, but there is no point making life complicated; let’s not pick up unnecessary bookings that can count against us later in the competition.  I know it would be asking too much to hope for 90 minutes without injury…

  1. “The Record UNDERSTANDS,that Tierney has not asked for a transfer,and is very happy to stay at Celtic”.

     

     

    A friend pointed out yesterday that there is not one positive Celtic news story on Celtic News Now, and the Daily Record is growing impatient with Kieran Tierney and Arsenal who haven’t made an acceptable bid.

     

     

    This new KT hasn’t asked for a move ‘twist’ is classic ‘the Daily Record UNDERSTANDS’ Central Quay code for lets wind up the Celtic Support, lots of whom are always ready to take an anti club stance, on any issue.

     

     

    That rag single handedly turned a portion of the Celtic support against Fergus McCann due to incessant negative coverage.

    You are of course correct. I for one won’t be tbere tonight.

     

    However that same reasoning is applicable to all our home games in the league.

     

    The fact that with so many available ST’s up for grabs, we still manage to sell what was available is remarkable.

     

     

    To me it represents a great declaration of faith.

    It is a daily occurence for Newsnow Celtic to carry a preponderance of anti-Celtic stories . What really irks me is the habit some supposedly pro- Celtic sites regurgitate them.

    The addiction to the rekkkord and all it’s anti Celtic can’t be helped by those of a certain age,it’s in the papers’it must be true, as those waitintobetelts done Sir David of Liquidations bidding,they never once questioned their master.As you point out 5 years of masonic knucklement and story setting from the liquidated knight,once even comparing the man who “paid the bills as it was the right

     

    thing to do” with Saddam Hussein!

     

    To those who have “tuped” their addiction after 2012 need to have a look at themselves also.

     

    Classic Meejah English employed by the loo roll,it’s the sort that has Catholic schools blamed for racism and 7 year old club’s with additional 140 histories.skewered and as gocki as flook.

    Read what you want, watch what you want.

     

     

    But don’t take everything as Gospel. Treat some articles or persons with contempt if you wish.
