Celtic will play Juventus in the last 16 round of the Champions League. Juve are seven points clear top of the Italian league having won the competition last season without losing a game. They eliminated reigning European champions, Chelsea, in the last round and finished above a good Shakthar team.
They are remarkably well organised and don’t lose many goals (10 in 17 league games, 7 less than anyone else), but this is a tie Celtic can plan for. Juventus will present the same kind of challenge Barcelona did in the group stage, but they are not as effective as the Catalans.
Celtic have faced them twice in the European Cup/Champions League previously, winning both home games and losing away on each occasions, controversially in 2001.
I’m up for this one. Fairy-tale story with the lovable Celts the only British representatives in the quarter finals? Loins girded.

Dontbrattbakkinanger – There are many, many more books and TV programmes made about A.Hitler than about Mother Teresa.
Also, Mother Teresa never appeared as the final boss in a computer game. (thumbsup)
I don’t know if the Horribles are ‘evil’, but they are certainly ‘wicked’, which is an excellent if underused description much used by my gran and her pal Mrs Butler.

Posted yesterday on here that Fat Sally was instructed to state he had invested as a ‘fan’ and I wondered who else was lumped into that bracket.
The share issue was an EPIC FAIL! Chuck now has lots of corporate investors who want a return every season.
It will be swept under the carpet by the MSM like everything else about Sevco…
Philvis- I’ll take your word for it.
As no computer game can possibly be better than Subbuteo I fail to see the attraction.

Worry not there will be no split loyalties come the games in Feb and March!!!!!

La Spezia v Kilwinning…….hard choice that one :-)
Having sat through some of the poor fare we have seen this season, and recognising the amount of money already in the coffers I had hoped prices may have been on the £30 for St and £17 for concessions.
To set at £37 and £25 is a wee bit rich.
Give back to the fans?
You got to be joking.
Very disappointed in PL and co – not fore the first time and almost certainly not the last.
Oh, and remember those booking fees which are ridiculous especially when a debit card used and no fee to Vias / Mastercard.
No matter, ticket will be booked.
BREAKING NEWS
SSN – a manager from the fourth-tier of Scottish football on talking about potential transfer targets … for January 2014.

Oh really?

Would have liked Schalke, they are tumbleweed at the moment but that said, we certainly owe Juve one.
‘mon the Mighty Hoops!!

So its Turin for the Champions of Scotland,
I missed the european draws so perhaps one of you guys can enlighten me
who did rangers international debt collectors get in the champions league….err the europa league err the ramsdens cup…
read it and weep chuckles
PS
I take it the rush to subscribe to sky sports is forecast as ITV will once again omit Celtic from their live games.
Ntassoola & Tallybhoy…

Garcia Lorca,
Re the FT. I e-mailed them this morning and posted it here around 8am.
What are the rules about tapping up players? Is it only in the last six months of a contract that other clubs can approach a player without his current employer’s permission?
Someone should be watching The Rangers closely when they talk about possible targets for the future.

First game in on ITV.
Hamiltontim.
Did you see my post last night re the bars I said we could have a drink in,The two bars I chose don’t allow colours to be displayed,it’s not an anti Celtic thing, they just don’t want the hassle.if you have colours on we can go elsewhere,no problem for me.
jimmci I see no reson why loyalty could not be rewarded with give away prices.
There are not too distant examples in England of £10/£15 tickets sold by clubs who had won a once in a generation tilt at Europe.
neilymochan my connection is educational rather then familial. Both sides of the desk. The old Xaverians are a warm family extending out. Thanks for the welcome.

Is it not the case that nearly all the Italian-Scots have their roots in a geographically small area of Italy?
*******
Don’t know, but my own are from midway between Rome and Naples.
ASonOfDan
suggestion is sallys “investment” was in return for monies owed from the salary deferrment, chuckles green had stated publicy and I think confirmed by the pie monster himself that he was in fact a share holder,
prior to the shares being made available
Gordon_J backing Neil Lennon – Does Sevco need to tap up players?
Surely they can get the Daily Record to do it for them, running stories describing the objects of Sevco’s affections as a “want-away star” who has issued a “come-and-get-me plea”, and then warn the club concerned that “Charles Green will not be held to ransom” when they don’t accept Sevco’s derisory first offer.

there you go they listened to my moaning then
oldtim67 I went to a pub in Islington with a couple of fellow Scots.
Politely refused entry due to wearing colours.
Politely departed.
The doormen called us back and let us in on account that we were the first ones they’d ever come across who didn’t argue.
Two Celts, one bun.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I’m a schizophrenic and so am I.
Just in, just saw the draw. Said all along just happy to be in the last 16. If we get thru, would love to play the winner of Porto vs Malaga. What’s the script with Hooper? Is this a deliberate ‘bad news for celtic on the day of the draw’ scheme. Or is he wanting to go?
Philvis- especially Jetset Willy.
Looking at our fixtures on the official CFC site, we travel to Inverness 3 days before we host The Old Lady. Our league fixture before we travel to Turin is away to Motherwell on the previous Wednesday. It looks like the weekend before Turin is reserved for internationals. Anyone know?

That’s not a problem I’ll be in my Christmas fancy dress attire in any case!!!
TTT, Toscana, NatKnow, Tally, HT, etcetera .. they’re multiplying before my very eyes. :-)

If only. It’s because we are the only British based club in action that night.

Didn’t know he was going anywhere. Sounds like a tall tale to me.
Home tie v Juve on TV3 in Ireland.
ScotPatsFan
A load of Zagreb fans went to Munich in 03 to support us. They were in a beer keller the night before the game, watching I think oldco v stuttgart on tv. They said they’d travelled there in a beat up old bus. Their love for CFC was impressive. Crackin big guys they were.
vogue punter- that’s a bit buteophobic.
