After another Double Invincetreble we will be 17 domestic games undefeated short of 100.
I’m not being presumptuous but as I said at this stage last season I just can’t see any domestic opponent beating us.
It may happen but it will take some effort with I believe the team that does it scoring 3 to manage this feat.
This is the biggest prize in Scottish football right now – Stopping the Invincdoubletreble.

Good morning CQN from a cool and breezy East Devon.
Once again thanks to those involved in last nights updates, greatly appreciated.

PS KT’s concession to the cold? He puts a bib on!
Kid is hard as nails!…
@@@@@@
Was laughing at that myself last night, the subs were warming up and KT had a bib on, Moussa looked like he was dressed for an Antarctic expedition.
3 v 1 win but if yon haddy up front hadn’t missed 2 sitters it could have been a messy 69 last night.
Still bring on the 70’s, everybody knows it was the best decade for music, so hopefully the fitba is the same…….

Morning all
Waiting at the bus stop on first day back at work. Went flying on treacherous conditions. Broony carded as a result I believe.
Official attendance given as 53000 plus. I thought there were the 30000 empty seats oor Kev craves but my eyesight is not what it was.
Mind how you (and I ) go

Work kept me away from Paradise last night, but I managed to see most of the Hibs game.
That was a mugging. Hibs were by far the better side and denied only by bad luck, lack of composure in the penalty area, and a heinously biased spot of selective blindness by the linesman, who, despite having a clear view of the handball by one of Sevco’s useless young defenders, kept his flag down.
Murty is a pound-shop Wattie. He plays turgid, defensive, safety-first football. He sets his players out to disrupt the flow of the game and kick their opponents (another 5 bookings last night). The chaos at Aberdeen combined with 2 hugely biased decisions against Ross County and now Hibs has combined to give him momentum.
But this Sevco team remain as poor as Pedro’s. If Brendan can get our players totally focused, and banish complacency, we will destroy them on the 30th.
Ah well, some people are never happy. A very controlled 3-1 going on 7 or 8 if we had taken our chances.
OK, there was some slack defending again, (but we only had 1 defender on the pitch all evening) and they had a couple of chances that they missed. Them’s the breaks.
Interesting team selection last night. I watched on Celtic TV as I couldn’t make the game, and from the TV pictures, seems BR had Armstrong and Ntcham playing a wide midfield role when they could with McGregor and Ajer taking up the flanks.
I thought it was a very good performances in parts with McGregor and Ntcham outstanding. That diddy Sinclair has only scored 3 goals in his last 2 games with a couple of assist. I do hope he returns to form soon!
Looking for 70 on Sunday; it seems that no matter what team we put out we can cope with any domestic competition.
3 games; 7 points; 10 goals for and 4 against. Not too bad!
KTF
VFR
Lies, damn lies and statistics!!
Scotty Sinclair. Lovely finish as I said. But for the majority of the game he often played the ball straight back to source.
He did make some lovely ‘unfound’ runs. Often ‘unfound’ by the other Bhoy Low in confidence/form Armstrong.
I hope they both recover their swagger soon.
HH jamesgang
In the 5 games to the break we should be starting with Krisstofer Ajer in all of them. See how he fares in the higher profile games at Tynecastle and home to 2nd & 3rd. Potentially our best CH, if he plays, and plays well, then we should be looking to sign an experienced CH in January to play beside him. The likelihood is that by the end of the summer window at least 2 of our 3 CHs (Erik, Jozo, Dedryck) will be gone so makes sense to have settled pairing in second half of the season with a view to 4 qualifying rounds for CL in July/early August.
Oil Ntcham should also start all 5 games.
*Oli
Ntcham was slick!
And yes, more Ajer please!
Oil be seein’ ya Gary.
Was good to see Paddy Roberts was outside pre match at the foundation candle lighting
He chased mini BT for a picture.. :-))

I thought Sinclair and Armstrong had their best games for a while. Neither back to the form of last season but better than recently.
Sinclair has scored 8 league goals with 3 assists so he’s doing not too bad!

The bold Broony gets very little recognition by anyone when it comes to MOTM .I cant ever remember him getting this award on TV,from Sky or BT.Same at the game.Have the sponsors ever named Broony their MOTM?.
I have no idea why this should be.Is it because he is just terrific every game,and has lulled the public with this,so much so,that he would have to score a hat trick,and lay on 5 assists,clear 6 off the line,and make 20 amazing goal saving tackles,to be even considered,for MOTM.
My God,are we ever going to miss him when he goes.
What a bloody cheek, i don’t know if these letters have been sent exclusively to season ticket holders sitting in the north east bottom corner where my son sits, but one certainly arrived through my door this morning.
The ticket office have written to Dear supporters stating that season tickets are for the use of the named season ticket holder only and the use by any third parties including family and friends is NOT permitted
they further state that in all cases relating to the use of season tickets photoid is required
Well Ms Angela Forbes Ticket Office Manager if you could be so kind to pass on to those in a higher position than yourself, unless I have the freedom of choice as to who uses my my season ticket ,which I have paid for, the chances of me renewing next season and thereafter are quite remote.
It may come as some shock that Celtic FC are not now as important to me as they once were and they are certainly not going to dictate to me as to who and who cannot use a product that I have purchased.
Turkeybhoy
As the ever-wise JJ remarked earlier, basically Broonie is our most influential player in pretty much every game and could receive pretty much every MOTM.
I think he doesn’t because of an element of giving others a share of the credit; too many take his contribution for granted; his skill and influence don’t fit with the MSM clugger image they’ve tried for years to portray.
VFR. I saw flashes, you saw the whole of the moon!
HH jamesgang
Ajer looks decent but plays in matches where he isn’t really tested. I’m all for giving him a chance but I don’t think the Manager trusts him at this stage. If Boyata isn’t fit for Sunday I think Bitton will start. Ajer will get another run out next Wednesday.
Ntcham is improving a lot. His passing is quality and he had an eye for goal. At the moment he goes missing during parts of the game, which happens to everyone. The important thing is he learns to keep his concentration when not on the ball and keeps working. Like all good Celtic players the making of him will be when he takes a game by the scruff of the neck when we really need it.
It was a vote of confidence in Edouard last night. He looks raw but full of endeavour, confidence and ability. His work for the 3rd goal was outstanding. It’s looking like Brendan likes him a lot. My feeling is he won’t think twice about shelling out the cash when the time comes and will want the deal done!! After all we are told Brendan spends money like there is no tomorrow…
Mickbhoy 1888.
My mates son got refused entry to a recent Euro game because he did not have photographic proof. The validated ST was not his. I assumed this was a one off. Disappointed if this is to be a regular occurrence and will certainly make me question whether a Season Ticket is viable.
HH.
Goooooood Morning CQN
Firstly
Imatim – heartfelt sympathy to all the family on the loss of your Mum
May Agnes Rest In Peace, and let perpetual light shine upon her
Now, last nights game
I I’m a huge advocate of Brendan rotating the squad and giving Ajer, Bitton and Edouard a chance, (thought all 3 done well)
But
My goodness we give opposition teams some amount of chances – full midfield needs to tighten up, and get a grip ( accepting 2 of the glaring chances for Hamilton came from total lack of concentration by defence) – I pick on midfield as huge huge gaps allowing opposition freedom to move into the space and time to pick passes creating the danger in first place
Thought we gave Hamilton more opportunities than Hibs at weekend.
Another now
Should we show Hibs any sympathy on being shafted by FtSFA and their referees ??? Reaping what mr Petrie, let’s move on, Sows, with Petrie actions ???
FtSFA and their cabal just returning to normal practice of benefitting their preferred club
Lenny no longer at Celtic, so no sympathy from me ( even though I love the Bhoy)
Final Now
Big J, what way were you re-routed that you nearly visited my beloved Cowie :-)))))
You would have been with lots of Bhoys if you had
As for me, through Denny, Dunipace and back onto motorway :-)))
Hail Hail
Now, another thing
£35 for Europa league a wee bit steep
But
In the words of KevJ, we all buy into the £49 game – not me I will not be attending this charade
Hope they don’t impose photographic evidence for my seats at these games
Think the photographic tickets is for the controlled standing section, so all misdemeanours can be identified, if any occur which Hawthorne doesn’t like, so mickybhoy188 take up with your ex colleague, I bet he doesn’t play the Rebs in his taxi
Greenpinta
Wonder if they will be instructing their stewards on match days to stop the practice of unused season tickets being held aloft to advertise their availability to use by a non season ticket holders
I would have always imagined if you bought a ticket for anything, then it is yours to do what you like with. For many years when we had a functioning CSC, we had 4 season books shared & paid for by about 20 of us and we took turns to use them.
I cannot see what benefit it would be too Celtic to have an empty seat rather than an occupied seat, the seat having been paid for can’t be resold anyway.
I am not sure if any other Clubs in the UK operate this type of Policy but it is clearly one that needs to be resisted by all Supporters Associations,
It is extremely shortsighted & will cause a lot of damage to Celtic if it is pursued.
Cowiebhoy
Quite sure that Ronnie Hawthorne is renumerated enough by Celtic FC ,that he has no need of of an income from a taxi business. No doubt like every other private office within Celtic Park he has the Reb music piped into his office at full volume
If this issue about photo ID on a season ticket is club policy, it will need to be stadium wide, otherwise it looks like discrimination, if it is stadium wide, there will be a lot of seats empty if season ticket are sold for that seat, as, people for a variety of reasons, do not attend every game, and would hand it on to a friend or family member, cant see this being a successful strategy for whatever reason it is being introduced.
From KDS Transfer thread
Compper at CP today. Deal expected to be done, although medical won’t happen until post Xmas for some reason. Things could change , but this looks like a done deal.
Two more “young talents” expected to sign.
Season tickets? This is going to get very complicated for our CSC Chairman as all of our 55 books are in his name; does he now have to go through the turnstile 54 times with an individual club member on his back, come out again and then for the 55th time get to through by himself?!
So the club big up up our charitable ethos when mumping their gums about the foundation (whom we contribute to) whilst not allowing fans to bestow a charitable act on a fellow supporter …
Hmmmm charity begins at home, unless it involves a ST
Season ticket ID is doubtless a directive from the police. Probably as a result of “identifying” a troublemaker via his seat location,only to discover he wasn’t actually at the match.
If so,Celtic should have told them to eff off,they will only enact it if legally bound to do so.
I’d be interested to know if any other clubs have conformed to this latest Stasi-like initiative.
Commper is not any taller than Erik and he’s 32.
And like Erik he appears to be out of favour with his club.
What’s the attraction?
What happened to the young talents Benyu and Ebouie?
Ok letter in full
Dear Supporter
Season Tickets 2017-2018
We are writing to all our season ticket holders to clarify an issue relative to the use of season tickets at Celtic Park. This relates to the use of a season ticket by someone other than the named season ticket holder and, whilst this may not be applicable to you directly, we hope that by clarifying the club policy on this matter it may prevent any confusion arising in future
Season tickets for Celtic Park are for the use of the named Season ticket holder only and the use by any third parties ,including family and friends is not permitted. Further information can be found in our 2017-2018 season ticket terms and conditions a copy of which can be found at http://www.celtticfc.net-Tickets.
This policy is in place to ensure supporter safety and security and ensures the the club is compliant with SPFL regulations.
In line with the above policy, the Celtic Ticket Office is not obliged to provide information about named season ticket holder to any third party,or facilitate access to the stadium, for any individual who is not the named season ticket holder.
The Celtic FC ticket office will of course always endeavour to assist named season ticket holders, however in all cases relating to the use of season tickets photo id is required
I would like to thank you for your co-operation in this matter
Yours sincerely
Angela Forbes
Ticket Office manager

It’s dark & freezing here & I wasn’t in the best of form but thanks to your post had a good laugh out loud moment which has cheered me up a lot.
As Corkcelt pointed out, there is no financial benefit to Celtic by not allowing the ticket to be used by other than the holder. My very uneducated guess is that it will be a legal matter to do with identification in the event of any `incidents`.
JJ
Corkcelt
I’m glad I cheered you up, it’s dark and miserable here too!
I don’t know how I’m going to break it to our Chairman, he’s not going to be happy and him with his bad back as well!
