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.

Ironically they scored their second from a free-kick taken about 30 yards upfield from the offence!
Morning CQNer’s

East Germany? Sachenring Zwikaw?
Got to watch the second leg of this game at school, helped having a Marist Brother as headmaster.

Same M8….only, I seen the entire game at school
St. Joseph’s primary in Blantyre.
I’m sure KK and Daniel Fergus McGrain and a young
Roy Aitken played in that game.
I think it was the year after the huns stopped us doing
10 iar :o(
It was also the year that a young KJ featured in the Celtic
View as – This weeks Celtic Bhoy :o)))
I got my pic taken along wi – Big Shuggie !!!
BS was the last player to score v’s the huns(Ithink) before
the photo was taken so, he was the current hero of mine :o)))
HH
Off oot again to keep the peace.
Bairds Bar………………………..announces that they will not be honouring vouchers
Key to the tie for me, is how Wanyama plays Pirlo.
So which countries have teams that have beaten The Rangers …. oops
TOURTENAY
Apologies for the lack of overnight insanity-due to unforeseen circumstances,I had to work for a change.
Not best pleased-but if the malingerer in question isnae back on Tuesday night,I won’t be able to watch it on tv. Then my calm disposition-which usually signals a “don’t get mad,get even” train of thought-will start to kick in.
Gordon_J backing Neil Lennon
The Arabs beat them last week!

Dont care where they train, Why would Celtic spend a lot of money on a second training facility for teams they are hoping to beat? still plenty more money can be spent on lennoxtown
Are you really unhappy with Celtic just now?
*Wondering what time the MSM build up to the biggest game in Scotland for years, starts*
Whyte faces bankruptcy as SFA sues over £200,000 unpaid bill
“However, a source close to Mr Whyte, 42, said he had no intention of settling the bill and was instead planning to sue the SFA for £40 million for loss of earnings and damage to his reputation.”
Got to love his style!
Does Pirlo like Monster Munch?

Bairds Bar………………………..announces that they will not be honouring vouchers
—————————————————————————————————————
If so ..former Bairds Bar frequenters will not be paying the tick book.
GORDON J
Hmmm. Loss of earnings-unlikely,as he is on record as saying RFC had an annual £10m black hole in their accounts.
And by liquidating the company,he saved himself £26m to Ticketus,just for starters.
Damage to reputation. Well,interesting angle,Craigybhoy-I wish you luck on that score.
Gordon_J
If Whyte is successful in suing the SFA they will have to sell Hampden!
…but who on earth would want to buy it?
Queens Park might not be too happy also!
Dont they actually own it?!
HH!!
VOGUEPUNTER 1045
A tick book?
And you waited until the place was shut down to tell us all this?!
To all of you going through trials and tribulations, my heart goes out to you.
I guess it’s true that “life is what happens while we are busy making other plans.”
And Tom McG…..have as good a visit to glorious Glasgw as you can.
HH!
One other question from dumb old me…..where do I send a donation for the bike ride for wee Oscar? A bit belated but I’ve been reoccupied of late.
Ta.
From Sevco propaganda pash-
“At least if there is a 10-team third tier next year in any format Rangers will be playing different teams which will at least perpetuate the notion of a journey. Playing the same teams again will be difficult on so many levels.”
What can be so difficult about playing Elgin, Annan, Berwick etc????
There are still some 20+ acres at Lennoxtown to be developed.
The facility opened in 2007, and the club said that phase 2 would involve building a new Youth Academy which would include residential units for some of the young players.
Not heard anything for quite some time, but would expect an announcement soon involving some of the money from this season’s CL.
Then there is the ‘Celtic Triangle’.
HH!!
BBC REPORTING THE POPE IS TO RESIGN.
Tourtenay
Old Fox and Hounds directly opposite one of the Croydon stations, forget which one has a CSC upstairs so most likely showing the match.
Off topic – but the Pope’s resigning
Is the Pope allowed to resign? I though their god decided these things?
OG: I know you said the story was HUGE but what has it got to do with Sevco?
O.G.Rafferty
Whit Craigy Bhoy has tapes of the Pope, who’d a thunk the Pope’s goat Ra Deeds!!
Your comment is awaiting moderation?
All I said was – Is the pope allowed to resign? I thought their god decided these things?
Pope Benedict stepping aside next month.
Was that O.G.’s big story?
Peter Lawwell @PeteLawwell
I’m forcing the Pope to resign because he said he fancied Juventus to win tomorrow night. I gave him a ticket to the game and everything!
The last Pope to resign was in 1415.

You’ve just got to have sympathy for Fat Sally
I mean he only has the second largest wages bill in the country, so he needs to play his young players
Not like that Queens park mob, who are amateurs and include schoolboys in their team.
Or that nasty Dundee United team, whose average age was younger than Fat Sallys so called youngsters
Fat Sally is almost as much to blame for the huns demise as their tax advisors, but is lauded as some sort of hero because he hung around after last years St Valentines day massacre. Its not like he is doing it for free now is it?
Regarding the Gordon Waddell piece yesterday, I wonder what has prompted him to speak out now, if he didn’t think it over the past 12 months.
Maybe someone had intimidated him so he was scared to say anything against the Klan club
Perhaps he just realised that Chucky was playing the bigot card almost weekly, and in the 21st century he is out there alone with his rabble.
Maybe he has heard one of those stories “that journos cant print” like this time last year?
Maybe he doesn’t like Jabba hogging the headlines and dictating the agenda ?
Who knows? Not me, it’s a strange one, Ahm telling yees, if the leckie fullah jumps aff the orange band wagon next, they must be seeing the flames licking their lamb filled bahookies
Bournes receipe
The Journos have started their build up already, the biggest story in the redtops today is Kris Commons saying, “so juve are training in Glasgow? so what”.
I guess when you are a 4th tier team that is as near to a glorious sevco victory as they can reasonably expect. Pathetic and they know they are.
Is this anything to do with your story O.G ?

I know I know I know,he likes rattling his gums but he may have something this time
He’s alleging that with craig whyte knows that the SFA/SPL knew before he took over he was a disqualified director before he took over RFC,he’s going to use this as a defense in his case against not paying his fine
If this is true this Its major because this is where the whole transfer embargo nonesense started,not only that if proved we have a case against the SPL/SFA,now the SPL look on shaky ground,that leaves the SFA left to carry the can,we all know that something will one day blow the corruption in scottish football apart,I wonder if this could be it
Time will tell though
The Pope is to resign at the end of this month in an entirely unexpected development, reports from the Vatican say.
The 85-year-old became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005 following the death of Pope John Paul II.
I wonder if it is ill health? Strange one if otherwise.
Oh Well, prayers are with him.
The Pope is taking early retirement.
The Cardinals are all jockeying for position.
HH!!
The ploy of the Scottish media is to get The Rangers into every story.
New Scotland manager – will he be as good as Walter?
New Dundee United manager – Sally first to congratulate him
Celtic in the last 16 – Juve to train at Murray Park.
Perhaps we could offer him a position on the Board.
BMCW & Balhambhoy.
Thank you for that, I am on-call tomorrow night and will probably be out and about, will try the Croydon bar. HH
Pope to retireon the 28th february
The Pope to resign and Celtic playing in the CL – seems like a good week for someone to bury bad news.
