Let’s be clear on the rules, football has been granted special status and operate within different Covid guidelines to the rest of us. This is why players could travel to and from the UK for international duty this month without having to isolate. Players were permitted into Scotland this week who in the last two weeks have been to countries where they would normally have to isolate on landing here.
Nicola Sturgeon made a personal intervention into Celtic’s season when Boli Bolingoli broke isolation rules. Celtic were not allowed to play for two weeks after this event. I was so angry at Bolingoli I did not complain. Rules were changed on the hoof to punish Celtic but there was culpability, so fair enough.
Ryan Christie is healthy. He has been told to isolate at the whim of the same First Minister. Kieran Tierney, who is also healthy, is also subject to political whim. But not by a government that has kettled Arsenal fans in the manner this government kettled Celtic fans.
I grew out of political fantasies years ago. Politicians are not your friend, they are not even good friends to those they share a rosette with. My colours are green and white only, and we will win tomorrow despite the whim of the First Minister.

Woohoo, it’s time Celtic. Let’s do this.
COYBIG.
Good morning all from Govanhill. Gerrintaethum Celtic!!
.
Good article Paul this week very much reminded me of that fixture last year. I prefer being the slight underdog or our side written off before a derby.
C’mon Bhoys let’s do it.
I hope Celtic Park is as loud as possible with the PA booming out Celtic songs from a couple of hours time.
I think we will get a positive result go top and go marching onto the the 10. 💚🤍💛

that wee video of the Celtic family and Rod singing
HOLD THE LINE, now that will get us all going.

Good morning CQN from an overcast Forres and the first sevco game of the season.
The following video may be of interest to those who may have difficulty in watching the game today. I have tried it and the quality is reasonably good.

Remember stay at home and stay safe.
Off to Wolverhampton after the game for the next 3 months if they don’t close the border. 😉

Big Jimmy – my knee is still decked, eventually got an xray on Wednesday night.
It did ease off a bit but today OMG the pain.
The only pain killer today is a Tic win and loads of T Lager.
I hope you are well, remember if you need anything gee me a shout.
HH
D :)

TONTINE TIM,
Fr O’Rourke is back staying in St Michael’s in his retirement. On his 60th anniversary of Ordination, Celtic presented him with a picture of himself with Jinky in the background. He gave a copy of it to my Dad, whom he had known since he was a young curate.
Morning Mick get the Rebs on and Rid biddy uncorked and bring on the huns !! 🇮🇪🍀💚🍷🍷🍷😎
Morning all,
Hopefully a day to remember for us all.
Hail Hail

That would suit me today.
Jobo
Excellent choice 👌👌
Good morning all.
C’mon Celtic let the people sing.
2 nil to the good guys today.
Lots of rumours online that Welsh is starting in defence.
As far as playing against them goes, Hibs have shown this season that if you get into them they retreat. Kent and Hagi can’t be allowed space to run.
Of course, the Evening Times has to show a smiling Seethin’ Gerrard and a scowling Neil Lennon on their front page…we’ll see who’s smiling this afternoon!
A very good morning from a hun free Bulgarski. ………Mon the Hoops. !!!!
The possibility of the league being called early has increased the pressure to not lose today. In a normal season you’d be confident that even a defeat wouldn’t stop eventually winning the title, but this isn’t a normal season.
Win today and the huns will likely fold, they are running on fumes as it is.
Just been sent a screenshot of a team taken from Celtic Star site. Says Welsh playing.
Don’t know if it is genuine. However I do wonder about a Celtic supporteror employee thinks it is a good idea to leak a team more than three hours before a vital game.
James Tavernier March 2020,
“Whenever anybody puts a bit of pressure on us in Scotland or gets in our face it seems to affect us too much. At the start of the season teams dropped off us and we were scoring four or five goals, but now they smell blood straight away and put us under pressure.
“We are not good enough domestically to react to that.”
That is your message today Neil. 2 strikers is a must.

===============
The other day Sturgeon referred to the Rangers v Celtic match. She might not be actively plotting against Celtic as you say, but the very fact she put Rangers first in so natural a manner shows that she buys into the underlying natural order as it is viewed in Scotland.
In my view the SNP are not Celtic’s friend and never will be. Our club and its support does not a fair deal from the establishment in a devolved Scotland, and they certainly won’t get a fair deal in an Independent Scotland.
When the UK has its first ever Catholic Prime Minster and Scotland has its first ever Catholic First Minister it will be a sign of genuine change. Don’t put your money on either happening any time soon.
Up the hoops
I also commented about that previously. I noticed yesterday that she was saying Celtic vRangers.
She has obviously been told by someone.
Favourite Uncle,
I’ll be satisfied with any score line that ends in 0.
‘Old Firm Cops’.
They reacted well to our win there early last season and obviously we went on a great run after the December defeat.
Under normal circumstances a win today would be about bragging rights, but as others have said the possibility of a shortened season makes this game crucial.
Anyone know what the problem is with Julien, as I thought he was fit
DAVID66 on 17TH OCTOBER 2020 8:45 AM
Pity about your knee…maybe you can still make the Bench Today ?
I am okay DAVID, and I finally got my replacement computer yesterday after taking delivery of a faulty one on Wednesday…I am on ” The Upgrade”…as I now have “Windows 10”.
I like the number “10”
LOL

Back injury
Today of all days with this game coming up,we still have posters being aggrieved that the FM uttered the words Rangers v Celtic game.This coming from a woman who knows as much about football as she does the workings of the combustion engine.Better to take your indignation over to The Bears Den,where they detest the FM,more than they do us.
I can’t see the team today,of all days being leaked.If it has been there will be hell to pay at Lennoxtown.
Just do them Bhoys,just do them.
