Under different circumstances, we would applaud, or stand in silence, to mark the passing of Jim McLean, the former Dundee United manager, who died on Boxing Day. McLean’s achievements in the Scottish game are eclipsed by few, perhaps only Jock Stein and Alex Ferguson. His team United the country with wins on the European stage that could scarcely be dreamed of now.
During his term, United received an accolade from Uefa ahead of a Celtic game. Post-match, he spoke warmly of the Celtic support, a generous moment. I am glad United visit Celtic Park to mark his passing today, it is just a pity we are not all there to share it.
Live updates will appear below from 15:00.

MON The Hoops Today.
Let all our energy and focus be on Todays game…a comfortable win, clean sheet and no injuries/Red Cards etc….

Surprised by the Barkas decision- I thought Hazard getting the nod for Hamilton indicated a settled choice. Why not give Barkas the last 2 games to prepare for Ibrox?
SFTB
Any manager with a bit of nous would have done that.
Brown rested for Ibrox?
SETTING FREE THE BEARS FOR RES. 12 & OSCAR KNOX on 30TH DECEMBER 2020 2:07 PM
I have been saying that Barkas should have the jersey for a few weeks now.
Lennon again changes it although this time I think he’s right although Barkas should have, as you say, been given the jersey before this…

True, especially as Hamilton would’ve been an almost certain clean-sheet…builds confidence.
I’d say that the 3 coming in – Barkas, Jullien and Laxalt – are better than the 3 dropping our – Hazard, Bitton and Taylor. And with the ‘front 6’ unchanged I’m very optimistic of a good performance and win today.
ONENIGHTINLISBON-He would have to come in and hit the ground running.
Has he done that anywhere recently?Give me the Paddy from the first time around.
Why not just give our own player MJ his chance
I fear for us at Ibrox if we play Frimpong at right back…..
Anybody got Celtic Tv working .

SFTB
Totally see your point, I’m just thankful he got there in the end.
Why am I so confident today? I’ve been rarely this buzzing this season.
Like the team too, zero complaints, good finishing = run up a score today.

Good point, he’s a great wee player, of that there is no doubt.
Tunes just started on my Celtic fc pass-18 minutes late
SFTB~you’re asking us to second guess our manager.That’s not easy 🤷🏽♂️
In spite of the fact that it IS, this doesn`t feel like a match day to me.
Also, United are no pushovers. They are capable of dull but able defensive displays.
HOT SMOKED
Agree about United being no pushovers.
Hoping for a good performance, a win and no injuries, reds or covids.
Got tunes now thanks,
stpatricksbhoy Hail Hail
I have just Logged In. No problem and The Fields is blaring….not , it has just ended !
Now it`s `It`s a Grand Old Team ` :-))

Agree wholeheartedly with that.

I still believe we’ll smack them down but do agree that Frimpong is not the man for the gig in that battle.
Bloody car wouldn’t start..aaaagggghhh.
The team is what the team is as mamma used to say.
So let’s get the possitive mental attitude going bhoys.
I will stand by my premonition of 5-1 to the Leather belts.
COYBIG
D :)
When does celtic tv prog start?
BBJ and Jackie looking healthy.
I’d have stuck with Taylor… Laxalt gives far too many free kicks away… Keeper not fussed all very very average…… Irrelevant if he’d played at Hamilton…. Absolutely nothing to do!!!
In ither news…………..
Kap’n Arfield no’ reportin’ for doooooty???
Aye, heard it.
The scouse ned’s a mirakle worker – is he no’!
HHH.
Passing in unsubstantiated rumour.
Games will be suspended after today.
Gerrard stuck in Liverpool.
Speculation by me alone…
Yet again, game against them not going ahead when we’re are on the rise and they are on the wane, with players injured.
Gerrard knew there was lockdown after Christmas and therefore knew he wouldn’t be allowed to travel back. Regardless of any professional sporting status. And he knew that (repetition).
Why? Does he know they will be selling players in January? That they won’t replace. And he doesn’t want to be part of that. Won’t see him again?
It’s fun to speculate.
Happy with the team selection for today. Need to rack up some goals.
got it
thu’ll be loads a guff abooooot………………..
;)
HHH.

Play on without the manager. Other clubs have had to do it.
However, I wouldn’t object to null and void :)

Any guff abooot people finding it a scoosh case to log on?😊
Good interview with Leigh,
Personal opinion, I think all sport will take a circuit break sometime soon, and it will be in line with restrictions being appied to the general public and it will be country wide.
50,000+ declared by day, I
Hate to be the merchant of doom and gloom but too many people talking about running up a score today puts the fear in me. Let’s just hope we make sure we win the game against a team that made it difficult for us last time around. If we happen to win by a few then that would be brilliant. United might want to show their respect for Jim McLean by pulling off a victory.
Come on Celtic!
Again personal opinion but i thought it was madness to allow all those establishments and shops and travel in the run up to christmas, we will pay the price through January.
Go and win the the game Celtic, another clean sheet and as many goals as possible.
HH ☘️
What has Conor Hazard done wrong ?
Poor show from Neil Lennon.
HH.
Anyone got link for the game please?
Wee William reffing us today? Better keep the high boots low then ,bhoys .
