Borussia Monchengladbach missed two penalties as they were held to a goalless draw at home by 10-man Hamburg.
Gladbach should have taken the lead in the 26th minute when they were awarded their first penalty for Cleber’s foul on Lars Stindl. The Hamburg man was sent off.
However, Andre Hahn’s powerful penalty was saved by Rene Adler, who guessed right to keep his team on terms.
Gladbach were awarded another penalty on the hour mark and Hahn this time left Stindl the ball, but he struck the crossbar with his spot-kick.
It summed up a frustrating afternoon for the Foals, who failed to bounce back from a 4-0 defeat to Schalke a fortnight ago and remain outside the top six as a result.
A Wonderful Finish by the Most Excellent Dinky Sincy.

Now Celtic are hoping to spook Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
Bitton believes Sergio Aguero and David Silva were thrown off their stride by the cacophony of noise in an incredible 3-3 draw with City last month.
And the Israeli midfielder knows the fans can play a massive part on Wednesday night against a side that have only won four times away from home in more than a year.
Bitton said: “The atmosphere lifts us, everyone saw that against City. They had world-class players and for the first 20 minutes they were in shock.
“If you look at players such as Aguero, David Silva, you could see they were shocked.
“There was panic in the defence and the players were just booting the ball. Aguero has played for a long time in the Premier League, but, with all due respect, they won’t have faced that kind of atmosphere there. No stadium has that atmosphere.

macjay1,
I really hope so.
You are fighting an impossible battle being a Right Winger.
The First time he has played in a League game in Australia since he left as a 16yr old to ply his trade in England..
Been wanting Celtic to sign him since He Left Everton his Attitude before during and after this Melbourne Derby in front of 44,000 Fans was Incredible..
Amazing that Soccer has Only had a Local Derby for the last 6 Years..
The City franchise seem to be doing everything correct with Melbourne City and New York City..
How does the man who drives the snow plough get to his F##king work ?

It’s dark outside.
Portugal awaits and a very, very much needed break. Unfortunately, it means missing Celtic’s next two games. My gut feeling is two wins for our beloved Hoops.

Tim Cahill. Ahh indeed I ageee
But he and Robbie Keane will be sitting in their wheelchairs in years to come and their grandchildren will ask
” granddaddy. Can I see you medals “. Of course the answer will be ” no don’t have any , but have stacks of cash”. At that point the grandchildren will walk away
Having a few cold beers in mercantile at the harbour listening to music
Cahill has never been about the Money I don’t think.. He probably Now realises he maybe should have come home maybe 2 Years ago..
Australian Football is really coming of Age and maybe a 3 Week Winter Shutdown in Europe would help entice big clubs like Celtic Down-Under in our Summer Time which would Negate the long haul flight.. imo
Hope Yir Guid Buddi..

Today I will be at 9.30 Mass, then gym, then parents house followed by cooking the a Sunday roast. Maybe a couple of bottles of Becks to round off the weekend.
On this day in 1937 the great Garngad legend James McGrory fromerly of St Roch’s played his final match for Celtic, a true legend of the game, and for his sins being born a Roman Catholic and played for CFC he was capped 7 times, and scored 6 goals, they tip toe by it in the UEFA article below , shame on you Scotland.
And folk wonder why Aiden chose Ireland. Same old bigoted shite has blighted Scotland since the Reformation. The dafties know theiy’re cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Have you seen a handsome hun?

These things happened and where just a, ah well we won’t print that, now the SFA are shown up for what they where/are, anti Celtic and anti Catholic, god bless the Internet and James Edward McGrory.
The First time he has played in a League game in Australia since he left as a 16yr old to ply his trade in England..
Been wanting Celtic to sign him since He Left Everton his Attitude before during and after this Melbourne Derby in front of 44,000 Fans was Incredible..
Amazing that Soccer has Only had a Local Derby for the last 6 Years..
The City franchise seem to be doing everything correct with Melbourne City and New York City..
I was almost 12 years of age and already a six year ” veteran” of attending Celtic matches albeit with my dad, uncle etc ?
My memory of that Wednesday morning was that it rained heavily in Glasgow , and this was to last all day and into match time ?
My excitement of knowing that I was going to the Celtic match that night, was heightened in the knowledge that ” permissions” had been sought and granted that meant that I was going to this match with my school mate, without our dads, uncles etc!
This would be the first time that we were entrusted to travel on public buses ( Glasgow East end) on our own by our parents/ guardians !
Arriving at Celtic Park in plenty if time, we quickly got soaked as the rain battred down, but we didn’t care a hoot. We also took advantage of the opportunity to save our Bhoys gate money that we had been given, by hanging around outside the ground ( not for to long), and working up the courage to ask complete strangers, ” mister gonny gies a lift o’er” ?
My mate wee Johnny G was maybe mair gallus than me about approaching strangers, and maybe I thought ” he’s done this before ” given how little wait we had to have Celtic adults happily oblige ?
We were in !
We took our place in what used to be the enclosure a few yards behind the Celtic dug out.
Those of you old enough will remember that the Celtic Park enclosure wasn’t exactly ” enclosed” ? We were standing there getting more soaked, but still we didn’t care as we were there to see our heroes without an adult interventions !
Not long after the game kicked off, some other Celtic Bhoys were jumping onto the track right next to the Celtic dug out, and saving into the dug out etc.
After this happened three/your times, big Jock Stein the Celtic manager had had enough !
He stormed out of his seat, and shouted at all of us to stop jumping onto the track.
ALL of US ?
I remember me and wee Johnny G being not only being f##king terrified at the fact that Mr Stein appeared rather angry, but that he also wrongly assumed that me and my mate were with those other Bhoys ?
As the other Bhoys ran away, I stood my ground and faced this giant of a man Mr Stein ( in all honesty I was probably frozen with fear ?), and said ” Mr Stein, it wisnae us, it wis they big bad Bhoys” !
Mr Stein appeared satisfied that it wasn’t us to blame, although he’s maybe took one look at me and we’d Johnny G shaking with a mixture of fright and being freezingly wet, and thought, they wee bhoys are suffering enough ?
As the game went on, Celtic were 2-0 up and coasting .
At some point me and wee Johnny G must have looked at each other, and thought ” the games won, and we’re F##king drenched” ! Neither of us was wearing a watch, and in all honesty in all the excitement we had lost track of time.
We decided to make our way home, very pleased with ourselves that we had got to see the Celts without the need of any adults ( apart from Mr Stein), telling us what to do, and given that Celts had played well and were 2 goals up .
I can vividly remember as we walked quickly to get the green SMT bus home after leaving Celtic Park, looking back and being amazed at the sight behind us.
The rain was still falling heavily, but when it was against the Celtic Park floodlights it seemed so magical to us wee Bhoys !
We got home safely, and my grandad was shocked at the state I was in.
He said, ” Jamesy your soaked wee man” and then wrapped me in a large bath towel in front of the blazing coal fire, and started drying me off whilst ma granny was heating up the Cadburys hot chocolate ( I had been in Paradise and now Im in heaven ?)
It was while he was drying me my grandad asked, ” what was the score Jamesy, cos your hame a bit early” ?
” Two nuthin for Celtic ” was my reply !
” ya wee dafty, you missed EIGHT Celtic goals cos they won TEN nothing” was his response !
Not that I doubted my grandad, but he explained that he had heard the score on the wireless, and that Lennox and Chalmers had scored FIVE goals each !
As I went to bed that night I have no doubt that my grand parents would have been having a chuckle at the fact that I had been to a Celtic game, and had missed EIGHT F##king Celtic goals !
The Celts had beaten Hamilton Accies that night in what used to be a League Cup Section, and I think Celts won the away game 5-0 ?
Me and wee Johnny G decided not to bother with the away game !
In 2001, I was to meet and speak to Bobby Lennox about that night and he remembered it well. Along with Buzzbomb was auld faither Ronnie Simpson and Tommy Callaghan, and before I was finished Tommy asked me ” Was I playing that night” ?
Quick as he was on the park, wee Buzzbomb said” Naw Tommy, you couldnae get a game for us” !

===========================================================
Perhaps on the blog.
There are now powerful and alarming ” right wing ” forces at work throughout the world.
From Beijing to Budapest.
The causes are obvious .
Incidentally , for me , ” wings ” is now a lazy description which has a different meaning in all probability, to those who use the expression.
Affoot , pal.
Thindime,
Nir is going to be MASSIVE for Celtic.
He will be a definite pick against BMG.
The way he first times passes………. It is ideal for the BR EXPRESS.

The BMG will be welcomed to Celtic Park like Every Great Team.
BMG might beat Celtic by 2 or 3 goals, Celtic might beat BMG…. Howevaaah.

CELTIC/CHILDHOOD,
1968 ( October / November ?)
I was almost 12 years of age and already a six year ” veteran” of attending Celtic matches albeit with my dad, uncle etc ?
