We have seen a lot of Norwegian opposition in the last six years. Who can forget the defeats home and away at the hands of Molde in 2015? The away game provided an iconic image for the limits to Ronny Deila’s Celtic.
After a goalless home leg against Rosenborg in 2017, we won the away leg 0-1 thanks to a James Forrest goal. A year later the same opponents took the lead in the first leg at Celtic Park before Odsonne Edouard (2) and Olivier Ntcham gave Celtic the advantage, the return ended 0-0.
Three months after that Champions League qualifier, we met Rosenborg again in the Europa group stage, winning 1-0 in both Glasgow and Trondheim. Rosenborg fans probably have a nervous twitch at the mention of Celtic, but although we bettered them across the three ties, each game was tight.
Bodo/Glimt are Norwegian champions for the second season running. They put their forward slash on the map in two remarkable Europa Conference games against Jose Mourinho’s Roma, winning 6-1 in Bodo and earning a 2-2 draw in Rome – Roma equalised with 6 minutes remaining.
Right now, Bodo/Glimt would fancy their chances against Celtic. This could change by the time the teams meet on 17 February. That game is four weeks before the Norwegian league season is due to start. Notwithstanding our injury peculiarities, Celtic players will be at peak fitness, Bodo/Glimt’s will be two months without a competitive game.
Glimt also have the curse of the successful small club to deal with. Their squad is vulnerable to more resourceful clubs, and there are hundreds of more resourceful clubs in Europe than Glimt. The team they deploy in 2022 could be quite different than this season’s draft.
Ignoring their preseason status and other difficulties, this is a tie Celtic should have more than enough in the tank to win. Football is hard against vastly more resourceful teams, so when it comes to Ross County, Hibs and Bodo/Glimt – who attracted 5,652 fans to the Roma game, we have to get the job done. Mourinho is rubbish too, so big deal.

Good evening,
great to see you posting, genuinely, I always look forward to your Friday night music posts, so I was disappointed that you had missed a couple.
All well here, enjoying watching the ‘tic just now, I believe Big Ange is on the right road, just hope he’s backed properly in January.
Take care and keep safe.

Pesky CCTV!!

Remember when we used to treat colds and flu with chicken soup, saltwater gargles and warm tea instead of Fascism?

Thanks for that my friend, he has worked so hard for this opportunity, the pandemic has made it really difficult for Artists to make a living.
Funny thing is, his style of drumming is more suited to rock than pop, still, so chuffed for him.
Brian
Red cards are definitely not like they were in my day 😉

The clue is in your question: live English Premier League. They are not going to broadcast live SPFL at the same time. Follow the money…🥴

Aye , remember when we used to send kids up chimneys instead of schools
Seethin G’s Villains up to 9th, jumping 4 places. I hoped Norwich would pump them.

Yer Freedoms are almost GONE.
Booster Booster, if anyone drops out @ 2 they are then classed as unvaccinated, here we go, Round 3….. anyone drop out for the next round.
Unbelievable what is happening, well not really, it’s all so predictable.
SMSM is basically the MSM and vice versa.
I give it 18 months and it will be Papers please and I mean for most places. It’s my Last Season @ Celtic Park, I’m going because I paid for my Tickets and Celtic won’t refund me, The Pass to Paradise is over a minute behind the actual action – reminiscent of Setanta when it was doing Scottish fitba. I’ve bought a few online away games and they have all been way faster, probably 30 seconds faster and that p!sses me aff about how the Celtic Support were treated last Season.
Hibs ok in first half, Dundee absolute shite
Man City destroying Leeds 7-0 so far.
I understand you girl I really do!

In other news Darvel knock Brechin out of the Scottish Cup, 5-4 on penalties after a 2-2 draw. Darvel now away to Arbroath. ( Braw ).

It’s health and safety gone mad , so it is!
You cannot walk down the high street these days with a thermo nuclear device strapped to your body???
All our cherished freedoms are disappearing.
The right to shout fire in a crowded cinema.
The right to lick windaes.
Riding a motorcyle without a helmet and having other people pay for your brain op.
Blowing smoke into babies prams.
The right to catch black death, rabies, malaria, tetanus, smallpox, diptheria, polio and measles.
And all because you are listening to doctors and scientists who are lizard people, instead of world renowned experts like Senga fae Facebook.

Indeed.
Would like to see wee Shaun Maloney back at Celtic – good experience coaching good players under Martinez with Belgium, talks loads of sense, analyzes the game really well, makes Boyd look like a numpty (and easy hit, that one) – being a good Celtic man is an added wee bonus.
Regret seeing him at Hibs rather than us (though he’d be good for them I think). May be a good stepping-stone to Ange’s (slowly) growing backroom team.

Boost Boost, when will Boosting stop?
It’s not the oldies I’m worried about. Its the Young Ones.
The Propaganda is insane, IMO.
Crash helmets became compulsory in 1973.
Another good example of what was previously acceptable not being so today.

Good on your bhoy tell him he’s living my dream.
Tell him if he hasn’t already to have a look and listen to Patrick Carney of The Black Keys.

KEEP THE FAITH
Tom Boyd talks the Truth and cannae get a thoroughly deserved platform.
The Media is full of YES men, likely Money orientated/manipulated.
They have a radio show where you have to change the plot of a well known film by adding, subtracting or changing one, and only one, letter in the title.
Ones I remember were :-
Petty Woman
True Git &
Star Trek 3- the search for Sock
I’m sure the posters here could give that challenge a go.
Whats creeping up is a far left&far right amalgamation that is designed to enslave Everyone on this Planet unless you Comply.
