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.

RWE,
Mrs nctim doing OK, a bit fed up with the facility at the moment —- constantly having to train new girls who don’t read the instructions :<(
Enjoy the rest of Topsail and pass on our regards to all.
Hope to get back in touch when you get back to Charlotte.
Missing those Philly Cheesesteaks :<)
desertbhoy,
I’ve found either drop to ordinary stream instead of HD stream that’s streams 1, 2 or 3, or illegal link, for what ever reason illegal streams play better than CTV.
Anybody got the Stjarnan team?
Tallybhoy.
Hi bhuddy, planning on making it in.
Has the wife been keeping you updated on
the booming tourist numbers arriving in Troon on the rare occasions when the sun shines ?
Buckfast galore ;-)))
Athens riots kicking off, austerity no a done deal
According to my boys at Celtic Park, Jo Hansen has been injured in the warm up. Someone stood on his foot.
Boot off straight away.
Wait…
Looks he’s going to be OK
Mahe the Madman cheers i’ve got phoenix… which makes me giggle a fair bit for obvious reasons but will try that one.
Now inside the ticket office.
Should make kick off.
Hundreds behind me have no chance.
Any cures out there for a very slow lap top??
Griff will be our super sub and come on when they are all Jacobed.

RWE … I think LG could come on and score (just a hunch) … but not sure about them tiring … I think they are half way through their season, so I expect their fitness to be pretty good.
Shortie – resolutely refusin’ to get carried away with the Celtic, Champs League
feel-good factor…..
Wireless muted.
