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.

Wembley ticket applied for,UEFA at their corrupt best re Mastercard.
A few guys on here hate the Catholic Church as much as the most bigoted hun on FF.
It seems that some of us are offended by lighthearted posts about the resignation.
I apologise if my own posts have caused any such offence.
None was intended.
Benedict is not dead.
It is not an occasion for solemnity or mourning.
No matter.
We are all wired differently.
I wish Benedict a peaceful retirement.
Hi everybody
Long time lurker.
I am looking for a ticket for Tuesday for a friend, I know demand is high and it is a long shot figured it was worth a try. My friend is happy to pay face value but said he would be willing to stretch to £60. If anybody was able to help it would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, one of us would be willing to travel to pick ticket up in Scotland.
Thanks in advance for any help
I posted this last night and still on the lookout and will do so again when the new article comes up (hopefully first :)). Also congratulations to big Efe, annoying he may miss the game tomorrow but tremendous achievement nonetheless.

Aye,that’s the sensible heid on.
Wait till the bill comes and you’ve all had a few,haha!
Enjoy it mate-I know you will.
As I said to KIKINTHENAKAS-green wi envy.
My thoughts on who becomes the next Pope. Give it to the guy who feels he is the most undeserving of the honour

I have decided not to rise to the bait but, some of the posts about His Holiness are the sort of pash you would expect to see from the fuds at FF.
But I am not surprised when I look at the names of some of these so-called “Celtic” posters because their previous comments have raised suspicions in my mind about who they really support.
Help please.
How can I see the game tomorrow outside the UK as it’s only being shown on ITV (no Sky via sports bars etc) and my satellite cannot get ITV any more.
I never see anyone complaining about posts expressing pro-religious opinions. Only against anti-religious ones.

Sorry you can’t get to the game, I am sure there are quite a few like you….I am sure you will all be there is spirit and me and oldtim and others will be full of the same thing…..
Good day, nervy night but great occasion….

Don’t think Benedict has ever been accepted by the Italians. JPII was a hard act to follow.
Afternoon bhoys from a cold, wet,hun free mountain valley.
One more sleep, another scandal about to break, Pope to retire, wifes laptop fried again, and first day without the fags.

Goodness me! Some sensitive folks on here…
EASTERN EX-PAT
I know BET365 carry live streaming of matches if you have an active account.
Not sure how to find out which game is on-best man in that respect may be THE EXILED TIM.
Guy on BBC tweeting that he hopes the Church breaks with tradition and picks a female Pope.
Anyone see the flaw here?
I guess this guy ain’t a Catholic.
The evolutionary level of the sevcovians:
If you place a frog in boiling water it will immediately exit forthwith.
If you place a frog in water and slowly raise the temp. to boiling point it will remain there until expiration occurs.
++++
Now, I have no idea who would come up with an experiment such as that (seems a tad cruel) but to me it displays the mindset of the average sevcovian.
Their level of denial is absolute in the face of incontrovertible evidence…..i.e. the temperature is rising and they just won’t jump out.
S o t.
I suspect we will train at the same facility we used the last time we played Juve over there. If its Torino’s, so be it.
Half of the so called defenders of the Catholic faith on here have not seen the inside of a proper place of catholic worship in years . Some of them like to boast of their catholic credentials in the belief that it reinforces their Celtic credentials. I am quite sure that in dioceses all over the world there will be light hearted comments passed by senior clergy regarding the Popes impending retiral.
A curious tale:

..oh. oh..
I managed to get on to UEFA’s website quite easily. I dont believe there’s anything underhand about preferential treatment being given to MasterCard holders, it’s purely a way to get one of their sponsors a bit more business.
Anyway, hope I haven’t jinxed it by applying!!
