Icelandic champions, you say? Not much to worry about there, you would hope. But Stjarnan knocked Lech Poznan out of Europe last season, and Poznan went on to take the Polish league from our old pals Legia Warsaw, who were a pretty decent team last season.
Stjarnan were not nearly as good as Lech Poznan, nor were they as good as Motherwell, who they also put out of Europe a year ago, but get your close-season wrong (the Polish Ekstraklasa doesn’t break until June), and you’re out, no matter if it’s Stjarnan or Maribor on the match ticket.
Let me put it another way, I wouldn’t fancy St Johnstone against Stjarnan right now, and Saints won at Celtic Park as recently as March. A red card in the wrong place (need I remind you of Efe, big Dan?) and you’re in trouble.
I’ve not seen the new livery on Celtic Park, the photos of which look superb, so I’ll be along early tonight to drink in the summer atmosphere. There’s also the anticipation of looking forward to seeing a few new faces in competitive action for Celtic for the first time.
The most important performance of tonight will be from Dedryck Boyata. More than any other area of the team, defence is all about partnerships, so how quickly Dedryck fills the Jason Denayer gap will go a long way to determining whether Celtic qualify for the Champions League group stage this season.
Remember to swap out your old season ticket from your wallet with your NEW ticket!
Bring it on, Celtic.

I could not make Vegas this year. Was with John in New Orleans last year however. Still recovering from that week!!
TC45
Missed New Orleans, sadly. This year’s was good. Lots of long lost pals. And a few beers……
weeron,
heard a lot of good reports on this years bash, even with the late hotel change. We had 21 there from our club.
2017 should be a special one!

Can’t believe Iv come to Ireland for holiday and not going to see the Celtic game anywhere
I understand the board want full stadium but it’s really unfair on fans who can’t get over .
If I had of known this a week ago I would have got flight over but as family time is very limited I thought I’d stay at home and watch it with me da at home or if I had to go to bar and watch it.
Poking round laptop now at kick off hoping for decent stream.
Anyone who is getting to the game ..enjoy it and back the bhoys.
God bless the tic

Yes, 2107 is definitely in the calendar.
I remember 1997, when we had all of the surviving Lions over. Unbelievable time.
Any intrepid Gazeboans making it along tonight?
Need to know how much Ring-bo-ree to chill.
Hello to all Tims from the aptly named Cape Fear area.
NO sitings of sharks but then that is a false comfort – we know they are out there.
Summer storms have also restricted their activity with the rougher seas.
Unfortunately the same summer storms brought down a 60 foot oak tree at our home in Charlotte. My neighbor called to break the news but he said “we got a huge break – it fell across the driveway and onto the road. No damage to house or anyone hurt.”
Turns out it’s a good week to be away from home after all. :o)
Mon Dedryck, Mon Nir, Mon Leigh
Son and grandson (he’s laid out his strip, flag, scarf) will be joining me straight from the beach.
2 hours and counting.
HH
Looking forward to a professional home performance against Stjarnan.
So far – and not tempting fate
Wee Ron
Re OS season ticket,
Ronnie,
You know when you buy the OS season book, your CelticTV subscription is the basic version
If you want the premium TV i, you have to upgrade. Another 48 quid
Cheers Ronnie,
TL in L.A.
Good luck to the Celts tonight, we should be ahead of this team.
Don’t know if this has been posted before but it is the BBC England view on Phoenix clubs, will it catch on in Scotland??

Hello folks, I’ve just delved into the world of xbmc (or kodi as it seems to be known now) and have tried downloading few add ons…. Being careful what I ask for on here as I suspect some of it will be frowned upon, has anyone else had much success using it?
TBB
Still on holiday, and checking d̶o̶d̶g̶y̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶ CQN for gazebo updates
Need to hit the ground running tonight but i believe we will.
4-1 the hoops!!!
Pretty much agree with GG’s team earlier although i think wee jamsie will start before GMS.
Would prefer it the other way about btw but just what i think Ronny will do.
Hopefully all you bhoys n ghals will enjoy the game tonight.
Please keep those updates coming please….some of us bhoys will need kept in touch with whats going down……

So I have Celtic tv .. Got it in oz and pay my bill with an ozzy bank account.
I’m in Derry on holiday ..
Will my login work to watch the game live or am I only going to get Audio commentary ?
proudbhoy
I’ve got a funny feeling that ‘the internets’ will know you’re in Derry and only give you
audio, as it’s UK.
Hope I’m wrong.
Clogher
Sent you an email re some history stuff if your lurkin or read back hope you are well and will catch up.
Re the game tonight cmon the bhoys and remember these shirts don’t shrink to fit. H.H
Proudboy, I’ve never had celtictv as live in UK, but I suspect a VPN would help

Proudbhoy,
Hoopy bhoy is bang on, you’ll need a VPN
The old VPNs are quite smart and tell your silly confuser that it’s not where it thinks it is. :-)
