Delighted for Leigh Griffiths (penalty), Callum McGregor (penalty and assist) and Ryan Christie (goal) who, after a difficult few months domestically, got any reassurance necessary from a Scotland performance and result that they can compete and win on the European stage. McGregor’s reverse pass for the goal was a thing of beauty.
The caveat is that our players will compete for four domestic trophies this season, head to the Euros with Scotland, then go straight into Celtic’s European qualifiers without as much as a long weekend down the Clyde. To paraphrase Roy Scheider, you’re gonna need a bigger squad.
Footballers are not machines. They have peaks and troughs of form, fitness and focus. How many mountains can Callum McGregor climb? We have to hope Steve Clarke cuts the Celtic players some slack in the spring internationals, while Neil Lennon should have a good hard look at the remaining three Europa League games before risking his most precious assets.

ST TAMS,
Happy for others to enjoy Scotland. Just a distraction for me.
Hail Hail.
Trump trying to claim new vaccines….shameless doesn’t cover it…
Hello again all you young rebels.
From a rather dull looking Melbourne, but my mood is as bright
as can be.
Off down the peninsula this morning, first in over three months.
Rain or not I’ll be strutting my stuff along that beach Celtic top on
and relishing a few pints of the black nectar for afters.
It’s not our CSC weekend but I know a few of The Bhoys/ghirls will
be in the Dubliner, so if I don’t manage a post over the next couple
of days you’ll know I’m gaga.

Ps Night night Cummings.
Laxalt not in team or on bench for Uruguay’s 3-0 win in Colombia.
Don’t post often but read every post, so here goes ! Scotland qualifying last night has in my opinion handed Sevco the title for season 2021/22. They will only supply Jack while our 7 will suffer the inevitable consequences of burn out. I hope just this once we exit Europe swiftly and Sevco get to the semi final ( any advantage and by God we’ll need it ) as the ten is EVERYTHING to me. Get the Scottish cup 4 in a row and 4 trebles in a row and the ten & I can die happy ! The Scotland fanatics among the Celtic support I’m happy for but the thought of rewards for the bent SFA cabal makes me feel as sick as a ferry trip in a storm in 1977 and trying to catch buckets of vomit in a Dandy comic ! As always to sign off , to any lurkin Huns or SMSM Sevco are as of today 8 years & 107 days old. Slainte !
Jobo – I’m still delighted about our result last night and the part played by our present and former bhoys.
I lived through Jinky being booed and Greig instead of Murdoch – but I was also part of the wave that made us teachers, doctors, lawyers etc – the way forward is to keep riding that wave.
The past is full of injustice- if you keep looking back you’ll fall down a hole.
Forsa Scotland and Ireland – or why don’t we use a clever name which puts them both together

Not until you finally arrive
Good evening all,
I don’t really contribute too much to the on-line discussions these days. However I was passing Celtic Park tonight and with all the understandable restrictions I thought “how’s about a wee pic to remind us of all those magical meanders of dark evenings and the looming Celtic way”.
Sadly I didn’t have my all-singing/dancing camera with me, so the lighting limited me in what I could capture. With no real control over the ISO/shutter/aperture stuff, I couldn’t get a balance between light and background detail.
I’ll get better ones over the next few nights.
Anyway, it was odd standing there, the paving lit under the decorative lighting and ‘silence!” Just me….and my breathing….and a star that I’ve always thought would have done Bethlehem proud🤭

Hail Hail

Scotland result…meh…lost me forever with the appointment of McLeish…
As to the impact on our club with the insistence on playing internationals during a major world novel virus pandemic…we should point blank refuse…because no guarantee by the FTSFA will stop our players from catching it from the opposition…if it leads to court…so be it
Celtic by number is my go to site for data analysis
interesting experience last week.
last weel jucojame claimed on twatter Neil Lennon was a coward for leaving Scott Brown to do pressers after sparta
i told him he was wrong.i heard NL and SB give seperate interview.i was shining a light on his undoubted lie.
he had a lot of support,due to prev nights results/poor play. juco attempted to change the debate to that.
i advised him not to fart lies and stick to baseball.
i am now blocked which saves me reading his shite.each to their own.he fair surfs the meeja/hun narrative aganst us
blocked for pointing out his lie.
he’s a touchy wee baseball geezer.

Joe Biden will still become the next President of the USA
Just caught up with the story of the Croatian guy playing against Turkey while positive for Covid-19.
Will Barasic be forced to isolate or, in Scottish football, does that only apply to Celtic players (who tested negative) …….. on Scotland duty?
Delighted to have Ryan Christie and Calmac at our club, both excellent players.
I don’t understand anyone questioning Christie’s passion when in a Celtic jersey.
It would be interesting to know his stats regards how much running and sprinting he does in a match for the hoops, guy never stops and doesn’t leave anything on the pitch.
Personally I’m just grateful to have players like Christie and Calmac at our club. Great professional’s, brilliant example for the younger bhoys coming through and most importantly they both contribute massively to our team when at their peak ( which is pretty often ).
Ps Loved seeing Ryan show his passion/emotions post Scotland match, heartfelt stuff. I think most people even loosely connected with Scottish football would’ve been boosted by the win against the Serbs. Great to hear him acknowledge ordinary folk in Scotland straight after a monumental result, said a lot about Ryan.

Teenage Fanclub….
Many years ago, perhaps around 78/79 I believe I saw them do a gig one night in one of the band boozers in Glasgow City Centre.
I was playing guitar in a wee quartet that did the Barns Club in Shettleston on Thursday nights, Fridays in the Torranyard in Ayrshire, Billy McNeill’s old place & then Saturday nights wherever we could.
Word got back to us that a great band from Wishaw or Bellshill somewhere were going to playing this Wednesday night. Our band met up to watch them. We ended up sitting in the very front row squeezed in behind tables that’d been moved. We looked like cult train spotters watching everything they did. Members of other bands were there too to watch them – they took the piss out of us mercilessly.
I don’t even think that we knew what they were called – just that they were THE band even for other bands to watch.
I can only remember two songs from their set, Steely Dan’s “Don’t Take Me Alive” – one of my favourite’s from The Royal Scam & Billy Joel’s Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song). The drummer sang the Billy Joel tune & was great. The guitarist in the Steely Dan tune played through one of those big Roland 2x12s with the chorus effect. It was such a great version & the only live version I’ve ever heard.
I didn’t stay till the death – reluctantly, as I was still working on the black taxis in Glasgow & was knackered after a full day shift.
Now, these guys might not have been the band that became Teenage Fanclub…but I like to think they were. They were that good. I never, ever saw them again.
Here’s an oddity. Someone’s taken the studio recording of Don’t Take Me Alive & matched it to several live versions. It kind of works. Larry Carlton’s guitar is just awesome – can’t believe this recorded 35 years ago.

Celtic Mac 13 Nov 11.32pm ) Aye still very hopeful for 10 in a row, nervous but hopeful. The Huns may control the SFA / SPFL, and the state, but they can’t control fate & their luck has to take a turn for the worst soon & ours has to improve surely ! And don’t pay the ferryman, guid old Chris de Burg… “Here is your Paradise “ — Here is your book of life, where you & I will be forever more. Celtic FC, The Celtic Way, Parkhead, Glasgow !
St.Tams….you dont know me so dont question my Celtic supporting credentials…I compared celebrating a 22 year wait to a late goal against St.Johnstone an event which can happen 4 or 5 times a season …I find it strange that you cant understand the difference .Also maybe I’m wrong but you seem to be questioning Ryan Christie’s commitment to our club…strange for a Celtic supporter?
Best band to come out of Scotland?
For me, it’s gotta be the Scream
