Celtic should start Edouard tonight

136

This crisis cost many their lives, a number from our own community.  It has robbed others of health, livelihoods and companionship.  Those of us fortunate enough to attend Celtic Park tonight will mark the memory of those we lost with a minute’s applause.  We are not over this yet, please take no chances.

Having scored four goals in the away leg, I’m not going to insult you with a cautionary note.  Celtic will qualify comfortably tonight and face AZ Alkmaar next week in the play-off round.  AZ have yet to play a competitive match; tonight will be Celtic’s sixth.  The objective this evening must be to maximise this advantage and ensure the squad is as fit as possible next midweek.

Give whoever needs match practice a run out and blast the final cobwebs into the night sky.  That almost certainly means giving Odsonne Edouard a start.

    You are wrong on 2 counts.

     

     

    1. The entire Front Stand isn’t closed tonight. Only the areas to the left and right of the tunnel are reserved for the red zone.

     

     

    2. Ibrox had a similar red zone on Tuesday on either side of the tunnel.

  2. Embdy remember Jock Brown and his “we didn’t sell Di Canio, we traded him…” pish?

     

     

    I see there’s a new euphemism for ‘not selling’ players. Step forward Stevie G in the Daily Record: “…if the right numbers land for our players, we do have to recycle them.”

    Just sat down to my first pint as I wait for the supporters bus, leaving 4:30 and the excitement is building.

     

     

    Can’t wait to be part of a big croed again.

  4. Looking forward to, On Iron Horse post courtesy of Fred C. Dobbs, I believe,

     

    I’m just an online viewer but still looking forward to a packed Celtic Park.

     

    Hope the football is exciting, Good Luck & God Bless all those attending.

  5. Good evening cqn

     

     

    Cannot wait for kick off to see the bhoys in action.

     

     

    Managed to eventually get tickets for the Hearts game, well my Grandson did. :) :)

     

     

    Not the seats we have ST’s for but its tickets.

     

     

    D :)

  6. My Eddy preferences

     

     

    He stays for 2 seasons, becomes a legend and leaves for billions

     

    He leaves now for 15 million

     

    He sits in the stand, texting and watching. Leaves in the summer for nothing.

  7. MadMitch,

     

     

    I’m in, and it sounds a worthy charity 👍🏼

     

     

    How do we decide who has had the better season?

     

     

    I’m assuming fantasy football leagues give yearly scores for performances – though would perhaps be more of a reflection of the team?

    I’m sure option 2 will come to pass – only doubt is the fee. Celtic will want to get rid even at the last-minute even with the fee only covering the original £9m. Wonder if PSG’s ‘add on’ refers only to profit over and above.

     

     

    Option 3 is the nightmare one, in my opinion. If we can’t motivate him when he is available for selection and notionally looking for a big money move in a time-limited window, what chance have we got if he’s just biding his time.

     

     

    Option 1 is a non-starter – he has said nothing but shown plenty that he doesn’t want to be here and is simply going through the motions.

     

     

    To lose him for nothing will be a big blow to Celtic. He was always thought to fetch at least £20m – a sum that could represent almost a third of our revenue this season….concerning!

  9. Sorry to hear french eddy may see out his contract and leave for free . Could be a huge loss of finance to the club , money that could have moved us forward . We played fantastic football on Sunday but still a rebuild needs to be done in defence . Reading back over the past few days many of our fans have noted we are still suspect at cross balls ,a fault that cost us many goals the previous playing season against many different clubs , they all seemed to note we were thin on the giant defender side and pinged balls into our box at every turn , it’s a fear for two weeks time when we play them because we will get an Ariel bombardment make no mistake about that . We’re looking good middle to front , but I’m concerned with the defence .

  10. Minimal changes to weekend team and bring Eddy on later after we confirm with a goal or two our progression.

    Update for STH’s who have not booked your seat for Sunday as a result of HCTS issue, if you call 0141 230 1967 Option 1, you should be able to book your own seat and have your card activated

    I agree. Option 2 is the least worst option for both parties.

     

    Fairly sad for things to end this way, if so.

     

    Dembele is the best player I’ve seen since Larsson. I had hopes for Eddy.

  13. Intriguing words from Stephen G

     

    “I’m well aware how this club works and how it runs”

     

     

    *this* club suggests this is somehow different from other clubs.

     

    Interesting

    You’re struggling again with figures I see

     

     

    Profit from disposal of assets isn’t included in revenues.

    London rd will be a nightmare tonight due to the absurd single lane change………good luck.

  16. I have been watching the Undead’s next opponents in a vastly entertaining game from Armenia. It is going into extra time after a 2-2, where one Kairat player was sent off. The Kazakhs had several miraculous escapes in the last 2 minutes. Each team, a polyglot mixture of nationalities, including Brazilians, Russians and Africans, is trying to play football. A portly Wagner Love is still strong, skillful, speedy and with a nose for goal, and is the main threat for the Kazakhs.

     

    Hard to tell, but I think either team will give the Undead trouble, particularly away from home.
