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.

Why would the pope be resigning? Very unusual news.
I hope there is not a scandal involved!

I used to frequent The Fox and Hounds in the early/mid 90s.
Always sold a cracking Guinness. Or ten.
Only decent pub in the centre in those days.
Though I was partial to the boozer across from LOMBARD just north on the A23 (South Norwood?)-I was the only white face in there most of the time!
Perhaps the Pontif has links to Sevco mystery shareholders and is about to be outed?

Game will be on in the Sports bar just beside the Opera house

Bigger than that

I am gracefully putting my name forward to become the next Pope. #UnseenFenianHand
BREAKING NEWS-PETER LAWWELL TO SUCCEED POPE BENEDICT.
The Pope is a Bayern Munich fan – good Bavarian Tims.
HH!!
The Pope runs ticketus and has been exposed as the major shareholder of The “The Huns” scandal. The shame of it! :-)

Reuters News Agency deny rumours that Pope Benedict is set to take over from Ian Ferguson as manager of Perth Glory.
Perth fans had been praying for a miracle but some things are genuinely impossible!
Malorbhoy.
Are you about. Important to call me.
Exclusive: Vatican Bank revealed as secret investor of Mr Charles. Ratzinger resigns in shame.
Mark Hately says the pope chucking it is like a new signing for The Rangers.

If the Pope can step down, so can Campbell Ogilvie.
Nipping out to the bookies to put €100 on PL to be the next Pope.
HH!!
Has Sammi been seen on the training pitch?
O.G. has your story anything to do with proof being presented that the SFA knew Whitey Bhoy was already a disqualified director ?
“Habemus Papem” is a great movie if you haven’t seen it, about a Pope who doesn’t want to be Pope..
ASonOfDan @ 20 59.
” Loving the fact that Juve and their fans are totally dismissing our team “.
It would be great if you would post examples of that total dismissal..
Anything I’ve watched / heard or read has been very polite / bland . Standard Official mantra has been – Respect / Difficult / Beat Barca / narrowly lost[ at the death] in Barcelona .Fabulous atmosphere etc .
I reckon I’ve spoken to @ 10 Juve supporters since the draw was made . —- Standard line ——– they ain’t good enough to take anyone for granted -especially a team that beat Barcelona.
Met a guy from Avola on Saturday night.He is going to the game on Tuesday . He certainly isn’t dismissing Celtic —– His reasons .
Celtic are a strong team . Celtic beat Barca . Shaktar gave Juve the run a round in Torino . Juve were lucky to get an away draw to Danish mince . Juve have been poor in 2013 . Juve don’t have a reliable penalty box striker.-they miss a lot of chances. Conte’s 3-5-2 means they play high up the pitch and and really vulnerable to counter attack. They are without Chiellini -their best defender / the man who organizes their defense / their only defender who is good in the air . Juve are too reliant on Pirlo . Pirlo is ageing / Pirlo is tiring .
HARRY REDKNAPP has been installed as bookies favorite to win the Rome by-election
The Pope is Retiring not resigning.

It’s mid way between me and my brother so it’s for convenience really.
I hadn’t been there before this season’s CL, in fact I’ve only experienced the heartbreak of late away defeats there but otherwise a great venue. Maybe watching home CL games there isnt jinxed though maybe I should stay away just in case!
Oldtim67
Shouldn’t be a problem for tomorrow regarding you filling us up on the port! Phoned the restaurant, manager isn’t in but was quite happy, might be a corkage charge tho.

Heard that Vatican officials have accepted a bid from HMRC for Bendict and he is said to be delighted at prospect of turning out for them stating to wee chick young ” if I couldn’t displace big Peter at the tic it was the next best move”

BREAKING NEWS.
When word reached Murray Park of Pope Benedict’s imminent resignation – where the Juventus players were training – Jimmy Bell the kit man was heard to make a disparaging comment and was seen laughing loudly.
He was promptly given a ‘Glasgow kiss’ by the Juve club chaplain Father Rocco Carnera, who insisted that Bell had …”taken a dive. I never touched him!”
HH!!
” Looking forward to coming to Glasgow, but I’m gutted to hear about Bairds Bar closing down”
Andrea Pirlo
Gordon j- Both Radio Scotland and Clyde sports news shamefully led with “Juve have arrived in Glasgow and may train at Murray Park” headlines. Subtle as a sledgehammer.
Tamrabam- Maybe Gordon Waddell is not as intimidated by Ibrox now that his big brother and David Murray uber-sycophant Bruce Waddell is no longer editor in chief at DR&SM.
Calm doon ya bunch a fuds, the new pope wull just buy the auld popes history so it’ll still be the same pope. #TheThePope
First Pope to resign voluntarily since the 13th century. That’s a long time.
Seems sad somehow.
The new man will be the 8th pontiff in my lifetime, if I survive until the election.
No doubt some of CQN’s wags will be predicting Cardinal Sicola as the new man.
Not sure if that is sacrilegious.
“This isn’t the first time a Pope has resigned, notes Alex Fenton-Thomas.(The Guardian)
“The best known example involved Pope Celestine V in 1294. After only five months as the Bishop of Rome, he issued a solemn decree declaring it possible that a pope can resign and then promptly did so.”
Just like Scottish football then – if the rules don’t suit just make up a new one.
Bada
Very good, porridge spat out on the carpet…..
Uefa site having problems coping, there’s a surprise. Must be they 500 million sevco fans trying to create a new world record for attendance at a competition that they are never likely to compete in.
Feeling sorry for the wee dragon who runs and fronts a great wee bar in Scicli .
Every time the tele news featured Pope Benedict —she would shout this —
” He has ways of making you believe ” [ having lived /worked in Germany she is good at speaking Italian with a German accent].
It got a laugh the first time but it soon got boring
pope resigns in protest over Bairds closure.
