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.

Welcome mhate, I don’t fancy the chances of getting a ticket, but worth a try.
O.G. Keep it coming.
Doc is Neil Lennon
Thanks
We both know that it is a long shot, but if you don’t ask you don’t get and all that.
Whilst out here on holiday in Jamaica, decided to watch Mexico v’s Jamaica on Wednesday night.
Very very impressed with Jamaican left back – Demar Philips, kept Hernandes out of game
Hail Hail

Welcome and good luck
juve chances on Tue ce La Folie
Just looking at the Inverness highlights.
There was a sparse crowd – no wonder with the 12 o’clock kick off.
Of it had been at 3, there would have been more locals – dads taking their kids to Saturday morning activities – more Celts – no 6 a.m. start and no punters thinking it’s on tv why should I bother.
Would that add up to 3000 more fans at £25 a pop = £75k.
How much do Inverness get each year from tv money?
I reckon the SPL would be better off without any tv deal.

I’ve often thought that …
Our tv deal is so miserly that clubs may be losing more money thro poor attendances than they are gaining thro the tv deal

cowiebhoy,
Where does he play now?
Before we delve into Celtic’s history, let me state that there is drink taken.
Unfortunately England beat us today and we are now suffering the consequent’s.
Juvé are on a high at the moment.
We were robbed against them last time we met.
However, this time will be different.
We are a very good side.
Watching Ambrose tonight, I realised this is an exceptionable team.
We are in with a feckn great chance,
One thing we definitely need to watch out for on Tuesday is the diving and cheating and the diving, oh did I forget to mention the diving. I do not want to stereotype any one club or the Italians but
Doc – some team in Norway, wee bartender who serves me my water, said he was best player in team, so I watched out for him.
As said very impressive.
PS – Ghirls due to arrive in 2hrs, and arrangements made for Tuesday.
Enjoy the game
Hail Hail

I agree the TV deal is not worth the bother and that attracting supporters to the stadium would be better. But it’s the TV deal that is out of kilter with the rest of football. Most countries, even countries the size of Scotland, have proper national broadcasters that want to cover their top leagues and are happy to pay for the privilege.
We are stymied by having only a pretendy national broadcaster that barely knows how it to tie its shoelaces. A total waste of space.

Apparently Craig Whyte was pretty busy with that tape recorder of his. I wonder who’s a*se is tweaking the most
Sorry ghuys, Petethebeat, not PeteC.
pf ayr – thanks for the reply.
I often think clubs don’t go for the ‘semi-detached’ market of fans enough – the sort of guy who supports a team but due to family, work or money constraints (or maybe not fanatical enough) who only wants to go along twice a year whether he supports Inverness, Aberdeen or Celtic
The empty seats make the game look worse than it is. Had it been under floodlights with a full house, it would have been considered a belter.
I don’t think anybody in England who isn’t a Celtic fan is interested so why all the tv coverage?
Aw Naw,
There’s only one effin Efe… sorry, that should read “there’s only one “F” in Efe!
(have you no’ heard the song? :)
Don’t want a yellow card from Paul!

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.
______________
True story – Sport’s night at CP (many years later) – Dixie in our team.
Questions on various sports – our table plays our ‘joker’ for double points on Celtic in Europe. The pen miss is one of the answers – bit of debate about who scored etc.
B-in-law says to Dixie: ” your pen was last seen heading towards Bridgeton X – quick as flash Dixie says: “I – but I scored a hat-trick the following Saturday!”
We scored max points x 2 and still finished 3rd in the quiz – no horsey men at the table!
I suspect it will be out in the next couple of days
Celtic First
Thanks also for the reply.
The broadcasters who employ people like Burley try to downgrade the tv product. Especially, when Celtic are winning.
CowieBhoy, I take it he’s young and in keeping with the profile we have been recruiting for the last couple of years?
And there is a lot to come out
Sipsini,
I much prefer the bragging rights anyway ;-)
OG
Can’t say I’m surprised …welcome nonetheless
What continues to amaze me are the number of reasonably intelligent Huns who have been taken …desperation must be the excuse
The TV deal is garbage. And then all that gushing Goebbels guff urging us to take an interest in the fourth tier. Self-defeating. If they want to put fourth-tier teams on, Scottish football will inevitably look bad.
What would it be like if so-called Super Sunday concentrated on the fourth tier of English football or the Saturday evenings showed Spain’s regionalised third division (18 groups to choose from)?
Efe …sorry
HH
CF
Who watches that Hun fourth tier guff ….Huns …a few Tims hoping they get beat …nobody else could be interested
….PFayr, 22:47
No shredding in this one – in fact quite the opposite.
Doc – just checked him on google – 29, and says midfielder, he played left back in the game though, never heard of the Norwegian team
Hail Hail
Sevco on the telly is like the airhead chics hanging around a stupid, ugly dude because they think he’s got money.
Stomach-turning.
PF Ayr
Exactly. What’s the point? There are a lot of them and broadcasters think if they say nice things to them the Sevco support will give them money. It’s obscene.
O G – I had intended a day off CQN tommorrow, should I stay tuned in ?
Hail Hail
CF
Aye…when in fact he’s skint !
