Lazio were Celtic’s first Italian opponents when the clubs drew 0-0 in Rome in 1950 before a Celtic Park rematch a few months later when Celtic won 4-0. The next four occasions Celtic met Italian teams would all be played on neutral ground, starting with a draw against Bologna on a 1966 preseason tour of the United States, before a notable win against Inter in Lisbon at the end of that season.
Celtic then met Milan four times in 10 months starting in May 1968. It was back to the US for a 1-1 draw, before a rematch a month later in Toronto when goals from Bobby Lennox and Charlie Gallacher won the game. The teams then drew 0-0 in the San Siro before Milan won the return 0-1 at Celtic Park, the first time in eight games against Italian opposition Celtic emerged with a defeat.
Italian champions Fiorentina lost at Celtic Park in 1969 before winning the return game while a year later Celtic drew twice against Bari on a North American tour. Inter and Celtic then met in the 1972 European Cup semi-final, both games finishing goalless, before a nine year wait until the next game against Italian opponents and the first against Juventus. Celtic won at home and lost in Turin.
Three games in four days in July 1993 saw a win over US Carisolo and defeats against Atalanta and Napoli. Four years later Parma and Roma visited Celtic Park, with the home team achieving a draw and win. 2001 saw Celtic’s first Champions League group games and two memorable games against Juventus, losing controversially in Turin before recording a 4-3 win in Glasgow.
Parma lost at Celtic Park in 2002 with Roma beating Celtic in Toronto in 2004. Celtic then embarked on a familiarity drive with Milan, drawing twice at home and losing the corresponding away fixtures in 2004 and 2007. A home win over Parma in summer 2007 briefly interrupted Celtic’s run of Italian fixtures against Milan but the teams met another twice in 2007, Celtic winning at home and losing away.
Celtic lost to Inter in Dublin in 2011 before drawing home and away to Udinese in the same year. Kris Commons scored Celtic’s goal in their most recent match against Italian opponents in a Celtic Park draw last July.
36 games in 63 years, 11 wins, 11 defeats and 14 draws. The team in green and white won the most important one!
Early notice, the CQN Charity Golf Day will take place on Friday, 14 June. More details to follow.

your a bigger tease than most ladies I’ve met.
then again you’ve not let me down.hh
O.G. Why don’t you be the hero and be the first to break the story. I’ll nominate you as CQN’er of the year, if you do.

Out of my control but the wheels have been turning since the end of last week so it should be in the next few days. Depends on just how much there is…
TimsinOhio
Tell me something. When you sit with Awe Naw does he Awe Naw the conversation? :-) Ill see you both in London. Booked my room after Barca game.
OG. Please! Gonny stop it. I have a broken rib and laughing right now hurts like hell.

Not only is he skint, he’s so stupid he thinks the girls really like him.

It’s going to be one big detonation, oh yes

Garbage is being kind. I believe it’s 1/140 of the EPL deal. That’s scandalous! We’re 10% of the UK population and I understand we account for more than 10% of SKY subscribers.
I thought BT Vision might have got involved but I’m hearing that their imminent roll out does not involve SPL games.
O G-Is it news from Nimmo Smith ?
Would never wish ill will on a football player but that goes oot the windae with Lasley. Another shocking tackle just witnessed on the highlights. Would it have been a red card against us though? Panel jokes about how they will ask him about it when he is next on. Grrrrr…..
Batteries are about done, Goodnight CQN.

No problemo m8.
A wee tip for those that are following a low carb diet.
Fibre is like a neutralising effect to Carbohydrates.
The more Fibre you have the more Carbs you can eat, if ye urnae an active person.
So for the fatties wanting to become thinner, I recommend Flax seeds, they are tasteless unlike some of the stuff I buy online and very cheap compared to other healthy products from exotic places around the World. Northern Ireland beats China and Peru for shipping costs every time.

okay – just need to stay tuned in then
Hail Hail
OG, your such a tease, but like you (Big lassy slap)
And there is one very worried and badly compromised man who is going to be getting a rude awakening very soon
OG RAFFERTY
Any chance you can hold off on this for,say,ten days.
Busy week coming up-Tuesday,Juve;Thursday,Admin day;Saturday,Australian Pink Floyd-and I doubt my liver will be able to take much more.
But what the hell-I don’t want to be selfish and ruin the fun for others-spill the beans as and when,buddy!

is it praise the lord time?
Right OG.
I’m going to need to splint this up with some strapping then. Can you not arrange to put it off a couple of weeks?
MWD
O.G.Rafferty
That’ll make my year if it’s who I hope it is..
I can’t stop this juggernaut. Best pull up a seat and watch it roll …
OG That sounds like Ogilve to me but I would prefer it to be Chuck.

So many to choose from… but don’t worry, he’s a name all right

Tommorrow (6 hrs away in Jamaica), is a special day for me, then we have Tues, for another 60k, then Ash Wednesday, followed by Valentines day – how does Friday sound ?
I personally want Monday, as another gift
Hail Hail
O.G.Rafferty
Hats off to ya.
I totally appreciate your trailers predicting more doom down Sevco way.
In fact, I just can’t get enough.

Ozzy PF are amazing although I don’t know how Australian they are now as I saw them about twenty odd years ago in the arches. A good night will be had.

This really is big stuff. Just how big I should know tomorrow

Maybe a week Friday!!!
Give me a chance to heal a wee bit. Well at least to the point were rib stops clicking with every move, breath or step I take.
:-(

OG Rafferty
I second pigalle’s comment. It’s immense fun.
However, one of the main reasons you have us all interested (apart from your having been right in the past) is that we can all read the signs to some extent.
If Sevco is not a business heading in the wrong direction on the Reichenbach Falls, it sure is behaving like one.

Please let it be Traynor……….
Right Fholks, thats me done for the night. I’m away to dream about the possible permutations of O.G’s secrets. Good Night All H.H.

Looking forward to it immensely,I’ve had a few people saying how good they are.
Apparently,Pink Floyd rate them highly too!
BBC “Ryan Giggs scored for the 23rd successive top-flight season to give United an early lead”
I’m too tired to question if that is a misprint!!
OG
More Craig Whyte recordings this week…
ASonofDan
How much is Kris wanting for the hire of his garden? Is it cost-competitive? And is the Juve chaplain allowed?
I wonder if Craigy’s bootlegs are called ” The Gutter Tapes” ?
BOBBY
Apols for not getting back to you last text, I was in the middle of something and ended up forgetting to reply. My old fella frequented the Station Bar before it closed for business and he is more likely to know the Brothers than me.
