With a little over two weeks until the league campaign is underway and, more importantly, five weeks until Champions League qualification starts, Celtic’s three games in France in the coming week take on an importance beyond results.
Many of the teams we could face in the early qualification rounds have been back playing football for a month and will be at peak fitness for the European qualifiers. Celtic normally face this fitness deficit in the qualifiers only against Scandinavian opposition but there is a high probability we will face teams five weeks ahead of Celtic in match fitness.
This autumn, European football will split into the haves and the have nots. Celtic could be a team in the Champions League, picking up talent at a price not seen for a decade, or we could lose more money than at any time in our history. Champions League qualification is up there alongside winning the league as the most important objective for the club, even this season, when 10 is on the horizon.

AN TEARMANN, BLANTYRE TIM, TONY ROME….Anyone ?

Big Jimmy
Jinky red star confirmed the pub was indeed the Ben Nevis , on the corner of Minerva St and Argyle St, just around the corner for the office I worked in ore lockdown , I’m due back in for 1 day in 27th July then back to home working until Wee Nicola and her advisers tell me I can start visiting the elderly and vulnerable again
Good morning cqn from a very wet Garngad
Sorry for any confusion bhoys regarding codes I have text my son in law about it to see what the email said.
I am sure he said we had 1 code between me, him and the grandson.
It wont matter to me as I have IPTV.
Again sorry for any confusion and I will report back shortly
HH
D :)
I can’t see one code being issued per household. What if one holder say a son worked away from home, that would mean he would have to travel home to watch every game,
That would be totally unfair,
AS a Ticket Holder he should and I have little doubt will be free to watch the game wherever he likes/,
Good Morning all
Thanks for the info David 66. I thought I was missing something..!
HH
Again apologies my son in law is checking his emails maybe I dreamed that.
Ffs again apologies
D :)
All the talk of the young crew going to have a drink at the Howgait is making me thirsty 🍺
Also, new Slaters gear and a new leather jaiket for Big Jimmy, definitely on the pull
Waiting for word today that Irish pubs can open as pubs(not eateries) on Monday. If all goes to plan, I’ll be in like Flint for after work bevvies Monday night
Friday will be like a scene from still game in the clansman.
😂😂😂

Good morning, friends, from a grey and drizzly East Kilbride. One more sleep ;-)
Are there any Joiners about these parts, VFR needs their services for work in St. Mary’s Calton urgently to have Church ready for Masses on Sunday. If you email me there details I’ll pass on details lennybhoycfc@gmail.com
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Good morning from a drizzley North Staffs

If you were mistaken my offer still stands.
Gene – I will get back to you once my son in law gets back to me also if I was mistaken then and the club decides to let us all know what’s happening.
Again apologies.
D :)

Belated congrats on your 30th anniversary.
Just realised, it was about 30 years ago, you disappeared from Knightswood. I assumed you were in Barlinnie, but I realise why now. 😂👍
DD – Garry -😂😂😂

Another day another ‘sell moreorless’ story – this time it’s Lazio – well similar right wing fan base

Grandad says I love these films with Sydney Potter in them, Rodney looks up and says Poitier not Potter, after debating for a couple of minutes Del comes in and Rodney ask is it Poitier or Potter . Del says neither that’s Harry Belafonte you muppets.HH

Sorry…but this is taken from Daily Rectum..
European football could be set for a huge shake-up, as the Dutch and Belgian top flights open talks on a potential merger.
Clubs from both nations commissioned a Deloitte study into the financial impact of creating a unified BeNe division.
The consulting firm calculated that such a league could generate in the region of €400million in television revenue per season, with the individual leagues currently raising around €80million each from broadcasting deals.
Belgian sides Gent, Club Brugge, Genk, Anderlecht, and Standard Liege commissioned the study along with and Ajax, AZ Alkmaar, Utrecht, Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and Vitesse from the Eredivisie.
The move will be of interest to Celtic and Rangers, following previous proposals for an ‘Atlantic League’ to compete with the Europe’s giants.
EPL transfer window to open the 25th of July. That’s when things will really kick-off.
I imagine the Spanish will do something similar since their season finishes on the 19th.
Does anyone know if the Celtic/spfl players plan to take a knee in solidarity for Black lives Matter before the first game of the season? I was a bit disappointed none of our players supported Defoe – or maybe they did and I missed it?

I am in the unfortunate position that I cannot take the knee.
This is due to both my knees being knackered, one due to a fall and the other due to old age.
Can they not invent something else in a standing up position in order that I can show my support?
I believe this is discrimination against the old, infirm and unfit.
