Kyogo’s off-target attempt at a penalty kick on Sunday brought into focus a concern we should have ahead of the Scottish Cup semi-final later this month. Josip Juranovic started the season as our designated penalty taker, with Giorgos Giakoumakis his deputy. Neither are still at the club, meaning Aaron Mooy was promoted from third to first choice.
Aaron has done well from the spot. When he was unavailable, Jota stepped forward. The Portuguese only just evaded David Marshall’s arm with his first attempt, before dinking his second penalty down the middle. Neither left me with much comfort.
If we are faced with a penalty kick competition in 10 days’ time, and Mooy and Jota are both on the field after 120 minutes – which is unlikely – we have to hope that Kyogo is also on the field and spends much of the time between now and then practising. Your guess is as good as mine as to who would hit the fourth and fifth penalties.
In short, our third-choice penalty taker from the start of the season is now our top man. He is recovering from injury and unlikely to last 120 minutes. Ange invariably changes his forwards during the second half and would almost certainly swap out Kyogo and Jota in an attempt to win the game before extra-time completes.
If the game goes to penalties, responsibility is likely to land on novices, some of whom have low expectations of playing right now, and remember, the other side get a lot more practice taking them than we do. Celtic would be clear second favourites.
Starting from a low base, we cannot fully resolve this problem, all we can do is spend the next nine days practising from the spot. Lots.

Re Joe Hart and penalties.
He’s a very engaging guy.
We routinely see him chatting amiably to the opposition.
If a pen is awarded against us perhaps Joe can just chat up the taker and find out where he plans to put it.

Is this done with full board approval?
Or a couple of major shareholders?
Surely the chickens will come home to roost at AGM time?
Huns should be revolting. I suppose that statement is redundant.

Well a controlled expolsion earlier (about2pm) just along from our offices on Petershill road and another was planned for later.
Some absoloute nutters out there.
……………..
You are right about the ” Nutters”….
Sadly, there are some on here also.
As long as you are all okay Mate, thats the main thing.

Good morning all from Govanhill.

Good morning all, Big Jimmy from another fine morn in the Garngad.
Another controlled explosion last night in Springburn.
Wonder if the roads will be shut off again or more controlled explosiins planned today.
All those poor people staying beside this crackpot have been out there houses for 2 and a half days, we put them up in hotels but because of 1 nutter….auch
Anyway, humpday and then we are on our way to the weekend to watch the famous.
Not seen Turkeybhoy o for a while. Merhaba if you are lurking hope all is ok.

Surely there is a LIMIT to any ONE Club being able to have numerous ” Share Issues” in order to BAIL them oot, time after time ?
It will be ” COLLECTION BUCKETS” at the Orangey Walk soon ?

I was happy to see REAL MADRID GUB Chelsea, especially as my CORRECT SCORE Bet came up with the 2 – 0 Victory.
I fell asleep watching NAPOLI v AC MILAN in the 2nd half. I was not happy at Napoli going oot.
Still, you can’t win them all.
No matter.
LOL
HH
My friends in Celtic,
Watched Chelsea getting comprehensively beaten by Rezl Madrid.
I think back to our game at Parkhead where although we were ultimately beaten 0-3 we missed glorious chances to go ahead.
We were not outclassed and that is heartening.
Regarding Pauul67’s article on penalties, I am more concerned about any European penalties we may get.
These penalties will be like gold dust and we need to ensure we convert them.
HH to all.
David 66,
I share your sentiments about nutters and explosives. It really brings it home when its on your own doorstep and affects you personally.
Imagine what it was like in the North of Ireland pre 25 years ago.
Peace has brought so many dividends to ordinary people.
Yes we can solemnly remember.
But singing about such events at Celtic games is so yesterday

Greenpinata – Exactly.
Myself and my Daughter work directly with this person and to think she could have been held or whatever…does not bare thinking about.
Anyway we are safe, unlike a lot of people you mentioned.

HH Mate.
Well, that’s the award for “assist” of the season in the bag for Milan’s young Portuguese winger. Takes the ball deep in his own half, off like Usain Bolt, beats 3 Napoli players on his way into their 18 yard box, just the keeper to beat, but unselfishly squares the ball to a very grateful Giroud to roll into an empty net.
I say grateful as the Frenchman had missed a penalty and squandered another good chance to open the scoring and put Milan 2 ahead on aggregate.
Take a bow, Leão.
Seems CCV will have knee surgery after the semi final
Aberdeen’s appeal over the red card shown to Graeme Shinnie has been dismissed.
He’ll now serve a four match ban, three as a result of the sending off & one extra for submitting an appeal that is deemed unlikely to succeed

……………
I could be 100% WRONG…..But in the past other players have been in the same boat, as they might have something floating about in the Knee/Cartlage, which requires minor surgery ?
In the meantime they PLAY ON, until the end of the season.
Im would think that ANGE will ask CCV to carry on for as long as possible, maybe til after the League and hopefully the Cup are in the bag, and then CCV can have the surgery ?
YUKI MAY get more game time IF CCV gets surgery before the end of the season ?
HH Mate.
And so the word went out far and wide, soon everyone was writing about a cash boost…

Do you feel the same way about songs like the boys of the old brigade ? Grace ?
Are all rebels songs off limits at Celtic games in your opinion?

You should read Brendan Sweeneys Trilogy on the early years of our club.
It’s fundamental links in origin with Ireland
It’s fundamental links in origin with Roman Catholic Church.
Supporters of Celtic have sung songs of Ireland since day 1,it covers identity slanders by unionism over “the good ol murderers of the old ra” right up until today’s “bad terrorist ra” it helps unionists with a comfort blanket of a(wrong) definitive word that negates unionist violence both as a state since the stateens bastard inception right up to Scots resident mad steroid Adair,the latest state(uk) assisted assassin.
The Catholic population and their Protestant neighbours don’t need to imagine the trauma
they were at the very core of what went on they don’t need to imagine what went on in the stateen 6.
I will put a request to Celtic fans called the green brigade to sing God Save our class system,hopefully that will suffice and all the biases and bigotry our Club,players and fans have ever received will vanish and never ever be heard ever again….well your ‘so yesterday’ lazy comment is a shout for your own identity politics
and you know no Celtic fan is going to do what any unionist asks o the singing front.
Greenpinata,
What are you shamed about in your Celtic identity?
What is it you want ceased with expressions of Celtics Irish background.
What do you want Celtic fans to stop doing ?
Gp Being a supporter of the finest example of the Irish Diaspora at work on this planet of ours daily needs tending to,we have been working since we left the hall to build Celtic Park into a living breathing memorial to An Gorta Mor,a symbol of hope from the carnage of genocide.
So Celtic fans will go on singing their songs,writing their words to accentuate and augment Celtics identity. Good ra and bad ra are unionist concepts.

Agree with FRANKTERRY. Charlie was a great Celtic man. Will never forget meeting him in a Cafe in Estoril the morning after the Big Cup win. He agreed to my friend and I visiting the Celtic Hotel and when we got there actually asked Big Jock to allow us to go up to the room Jock shared with Sean Fallon to see and hold the Big Cup in our hands. What a moment that I will never forget.
