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.

Jeez -do I have to give a geography lesson as well as my Latin lesson from last night.
Italiabhoy -are you looking forward to our game in the Cup of Champion Clubs European on Tuesday?
TimsinOhio
Are you between Munich and Birmingham?
Are you planning on a trip back to Europe for the event in Milan that just happens to coincide with an even bigger event in Turin?
If. By chance that Celtic do get to Wembley,there will be some scramble for tickets,with about 25.000 over the last couple of seasons giving up their Season tickets,that will make it easier for the 36.000 to maybe get one each.
Good night all
Its not a bad life being a Tim Ehh!

HAIL HAIL
to all those fortunate enough to be going on tues ENJOY!!!!!!!

TimsinOhio

Hail Hail
Petec,
I have a feeling and the last time I had this feeling went to Seville.
Celtic_First,
On my way to Mumbai in the morning and then back to Birmingham next Friday. Yes I am trying to coordinate the trip you are thinking of but it will be via IWA and not MICAM. The p*^*#r is, IWA starts the day after Torino. Don’t want to show up in an ambulance following our celebrations.
From earlier. Should have said ” we went to Seville “. I was not part of that we as Mrs. TimsinOhio had other plans that blew that trip away.
Before I go :))

Oldtim
I. Will sell this bloody sofa bed. I bought for you to kip on to get a wembelee ticket decking thing has never been used
Old Tim
Yeah you are right so that may up the odds, however , always been suspicious if the CFC ticket distribution policy .
Ps my luck is such that if we have 36001 season tickets and we got 36000 , I’d be the one to miss out!!
oldtim67 – 21:46 on 10 February, 2013
I suspect that were a ticket available for every single ST holder and all comps required by the club that people still wouldn’t get one. I say that as a former ticket office employee.

Special indeed, the huns cheated and stopped us getting to where we should be already.
Celtic saw off an Establishment Club, Bring on that Juventus side now.
If Celtic get past Juventus and the referee then we will have 2 genuine stars on our Jersey next season IMO.
This will be the hardest game, it is all about the mentality.
What is this summer thing everyone is talking about, I seem to remember there was one in about 76, I may be wrong I usually am.
Congratulations to Effe Ambrose tonight a magnificent achievement that the whole club can bask in. Well done lad

AWe_Naw
You’re rather chipper tonight. What’s up:o)
TimsinOhio
Keep me posted and let’s see if we can meet up in Turin.
DJBEE
Ur abt 76. My youngest was born in August of that year and mrs j will never forget the heat.
EDB
Was great meeting TimsinOhio again. Had a lovely evening. Very much bouyed by the display at the weekend. Valentines day coming up. I always get lots of cards ;-) some with broken glass. Big Effe wins a major international medal. On Tuesday I reacquaint with an old hun friend where the reversing of lost bets will be high up on the agenda. I know he is only turning up cos he is sure we will lose. I have seem it all before …but apart from that I am my usual Otto Normale. Are you developing 6th senses or suhim ;-)
HH
Brill for Efe he shld get a special Celtic Park cheer if he plays or not.
A week can be a long time in football.
We’ve had an unpaid bill and one Winding Up Order made public (more to come on that one), a PR disaster masterminded by £140k Traynor, Charlie out passing the cap for the driver in the Far East, a Celtic second team playing some Quality Street football against the second best team in Scotland and in a matter of days Juventus coming to town for a Champions League last 16 game.
Well that would be enough for most I’m sure, but well, I’m greedy.
Last year’s Valentine’s Day gift was very special indeed and I believe soon there will be another big gift coming our way which could arrive any day next week.
And when that day is upon us, it will be, I hope, a Day to Remember
we will win

Keep us posted, amigo.
Without asking you to reveal any detail you are not ready or able to, if Valentine’s Day 2012 was a ten, where on the scale would it be if what you think might come to pass does come to pass in this anniversary week?
Merci.
Celtic_First
Will do my friend. It has been too long.
Celtic_First, 22:13

Interesting times ahead… very interesting indeed…
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
Celtic_First
I think the number is infinity and beyond. My guess is our dreams will come true.
Saltires, excellent link. Gives us hope, eh?
O.G
Ok then …the perpetual wet dreaming continues unabated when I really should be concentrating on work ;-(
HH
Parkheadcumsalford,
Wish I hadn’t scrolled back now,
You’re defo not alone,If memory serves ,the night Dixie blasted that penalty was bloody freezing too.
Big Billy’s blunder wasn’t much fun to watch either.
O.G – you’ve got to stop this.
I mean honestly, we’ve got Tuesday and then Valentine/Administration day this week.
I’m not sure I’ve got enough bubbly in the house for anything else.
