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.

Amazing. If anyone had said a year ago that the rangers support would be watching a team play in div3 and out of both cups after selling all their best players then I reckon we would have questioned their sanity
Now we sit just 2 sleeps from champs league last 16 game which we might win having beaten Barcelona.
They are in even worse a state than ever and the old media is in turmoil. They are run by an impresario who makes david murray seem like a realist. Yet still their stupid support don’t get it. This really is an amazing time to be a Celtic supporter.
Just back from seeing The Australian Pink Floyd, brilliant evening. A tribute act granted but probably the best there is.

no meltdown. another one of these admin file the right form issues, its mega exciting to some but to others its well..
Thx huddle, all good then?
My dad was at that first game v lazio in the brutal nil nil game. He was at the scots college at the time and attended with his fellow students in their robes. Funnily enough just the other night he was showing me a signed photo of the teams with all the signatures on the back.
I’m glad he left the college before being ordained or I wouldn’t have been able to post this.
OG,
Does it impact SFA or Sevco ( or both :)) )
OG
Just catching up.
Is your story oldco or newco?
pigalle
Just putting two and two together
O G says what he has about a worried man and Barcabhoy says:
Barcabhoy@Barcabhoy1
Apparently Craig Whyte was pretty busy with that tape recorder of his. I wonder who’s a*se is tweaking the most
So if its no Craig thats worried its Charlie or Campbell or David (sir) or all of them.
Notts County due in court to contest a winding-up order for unpaid tax.
Possible new project for Charles Green? It’s much closer to home.
There will be a lot to come and it will come soon I am sure.
and it’s not just about one (worried) man
Given the recent turn in the media articles, I’d guess ‘Sir’ David is following through his farts.
NN & HH
This story can save until Wednesday though. ;)) a massive game coming up.
That’s 150 years’ unbroken history you’re playing with there with Notts County. Will The Notts County be able to convince people it’s the same club?
And a wee link to this week’s other events is that Juventus wear that black-and-white kit in homage to Notts County.
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/
I will ask him next week , I think he did play there.
Thinking about that mobs death again, loving it.
Keep it coming O.G
Notts County chairman is confident of wining the day in court and is contemplating action against HMRC for putting them in this predicament. He bought the club in 2010. For £1.

Cannae sleep now OG.. geez never mind Tue! Perhaps LNS will send a wee valentine card !
Night all.. ( was that Dixon of Dock green) How old am I getting?? !
mon the hoops
OG thanx for what you are doing, we all know there is a storm brewing again with the zombies. If you look at the figures they just dont stack up. I know many zombies in my job as im in the licensed trade and come into contact with them and they really are hurting but try and hide it but I never let up in letting them know that they died. So whatever it is i cant wait so i can spread more bad news of sevco around my flock
Auldheid
Good to know yer on the case.
I would be further delighted if bad news turned up on any of the C’s ( or that D) :0)
In OGR we trust.
Make Tuesday the best ever YNWA.
Dig out yer auld scarf, and get it on.
I’m off to bed.
Let’s see what tomorrow brings (laughter, jelly, ice cream?)
Groundhog Day approaches.

I’d love for us to do the ‘light show’ with the mobile phones.
I think it would be spectacular.

twice tae……..been a while
Reading back quickly…sounds like some history is in the making over and above the Juventus games. I hope it’s what I think it is.
Margaret –
What do you think it is then?
Go on, spill.
Juventus are a right good team so no surprise there and it’s 50/50. Given where our team were after BTM and what our Manager has achieved since, and the financial obstacles put in our way then just being in the last 16 is out 4 minute mile. With Celtic I wonder every day just how far we can go! How many football clubs in the world aren’t in the last 16? Have we over achieved? Absolutely. Every time I park my car and walk up to the Park with my sons I’m in wonder and I know I am a lucky man. No matter how the Juventus tie goes I’ll always be there and of the billions of people on he planet I was lucky enough to know the history. HH.
