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.

2 suggestions.
1. Write to Celtic and voice your complaint.
2. Don’t buy and do what corkcelt Is doing and go to the chip van.
Jelavic blessing himself as he car on there, don’t recall him doing that when he was down Govan way, wonder why?
Car = came
timbhoy2
I’ve heard you should be sticking to salad mate, so leave the pies alone!
TwoMacaroons, I ‘m dining with the aristocracy of Celtic Quick News at a secret location, but yes over the years I have been known to patronise a particular Chippie Van. Its the busiest one by a mile you will see 5 or 6 vans alongside with one or two patrons and most of the crowd milling about this one.
Just to confirm that the 9 in a row CQN Open will be on Friday 14 June. Application details soon. Aberdour GC is booked!
The slight error on the date (which Paul has promptly corrected) is due to extreme sleep deprivation in the Taggsybhoy household in anticipation of Tuesday night. Not only for the momentous 90 mins which beckons but because I won a Mastercard competition for Taggsybhoy jnr to be one of the match mascots! He is hyper, almost as hyper as me :-)
timbhoy2
Your (mis)use of punctuation and upper and lower case is quite shocking!
Bring a ‘piece’ on Tuesday!
HH!!
Jelavic blessed himself coming onto the park there……few tellys destroyed ….pathetic bhuns
Timbhoy2,
I think we should be playing pizza slice at LB with hot dog the holding midfielder. Mince pie can support the forwards with steakbake being our target man and chips feeding off him,want do you think?
AwayforabovrilCSC
Nice date for the Golf day Paul, just a coincidence it’s a year on since thems were told a CVA was pie in the sky, and that they were doomed to Liquidation.
Whit ye like!
HH
corkcelt which McDonald’s are you meeting at? :-)
The team in green and white won the most important one!
Paul 67.
not only did we win the big one, it brought the demise of them as they killed their club chasing the dream that we enjoy.hail hail
Efe 20/1 first goal, 7/1 anytime goal scorer……. why no!!!!
Timbhoy2 – you any idea how much a great number of CQNers would love to be able to enjoy (or otherwise) a pie at Celtic Park this coming Tuesday night? Haud yer wheesht and stop moaning…
estorilbhoy
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Thats Jelavic on the list now!!!
Ghuys
Tactics for Tuesday , solid back four with Izzy and Adam ordered to hold back fo the first 20 to 25 minutes, 5 across the middle with wide men ordered to watch for the switch ball from Pirlo and protect the full backs, Chas utilised in midfield.
We need to force the Italians into the middle where they will run into traffic.
We should look to push Pirlo back and one of the 3 centre mids needs to force him back, my initial preference was Broony but I believe this should now be Joseph with KC also given a watching brief when he comes on second half for Joseph.
Assuming Effe will be cream crackered , the team picks itself….
———————————– Fraser ———————————–
Adam —————– Mikal ————- Kelvin ——— Izzy———
——— Scott —- Victor ——- Joseph —– Chas —— Sammi
———————————- Gary —————————————
If Effe makes it then Mikal switched to right back.
Not seen Juventus play, but they will be a solid outfit but I suspect that we will need to grow into the game and I can see us winning 2-0 with the second coming late in the game when the Italians push up looking for an equaliser.

OOOPS The things we can regret we say

someone asked for this. Charles green admitting new club has no history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fEkbSD56hlY …
Doctor Whatfor Thom thetim
I wasn’t at the game but I have the programme so guess it was my dad. I was under the mistaken impression for many years that Celtic had played a team called Benvenuto al Lazio!
Two Macaroons, If I tell you where we are meeting, I’ll have to shoot you, so better that you do not know, however. I am assured its haute cuisine all the way. No Chips & batter burgers here.
Jellyfish and now Naibalance… what price Evertons third sub will that Tom Daley fella?
I’ll get my coat…
corkcelt
Haute cuisine is it! That’ll be a wee bit of not much in the middle of a big plate, aye he’ll need a sausage supper after that right enough.
listen im just making a point about the shocking ciatering facilities
Horsemeat……….

New world record for the size of the boycott list.
Timbhoy2
Just because you’re talking about food doesn’t give you the right to talk like Gordon Ramsay.
Martin 42
A big hello to you, amigo.
corkcelt
Aristocracy of CQN??
Must be Philvis and Kojo???
Don’t forget Thursday……..for the special one in your life.
HAPPY ADMINISTRATION DAY
Was Willie O’Neill the answer to Q7?
Funny that, can’t ever recall Jelavic blessing himself at the Bigotdome, does anyone think that someone had a word with him like they did with Sandaza?
The steak bake kid reckons he doesn’t have a problem with it so who at Mordor does ?
Celtic first,
Was thinking about you and your daughter this morning.
How is she?
Our mutial friend in Mossend has serious health problems, not enough to lay him low, but bad in the long term.
Still never got back to Chester to see Fr. Francis, but hopefully manage it this May, if he is at home.
Will keep you posted.
Martin42
googybhoy, hopefully not, if Kojo turned up I think I’d crack up. Not sure who is going, I think Old Tim, Papa John, Blantyre Tim, kikinthenakas are amongst the luminaries,
I’ve never met any of them before, but am really looking forward to it.
