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.

The tree was an ugly oak but was on my neighbors land. I would have had it down years ago.
Huge canopy though – big enough for a CQN coarner gig.

Ciftci is on from the start.
Griff on the bench.
HH!!
WHATS ZENMATE??
Griff will play plenty of games this season, good opportunity to let Ciftci bed in a bit before his looming ban.
CTV not looking encouraging fer me… buffering every few seconds. Bandwidth must need some of those vein expanders.
Well that’s me heading out to beautiful downtown Hamilton Ontario for the 2015 Pan Am Football. Tonight it’s the women’s version with Brazil v Ecuador followed by Canada v Costa Rica.
I also coach minor soccer here as well, boys u16, that and watching the men’s version it’s not uncommon to see players grabbing their crotch as they adjust themselves. However, cannae fathom why the lassies do this, unless there are a lot of Caitlyns out there.
Anyway, good luck to the leather belts and will be back in a 10 hours to read about our victory.
