Champions League day is here!! Our season has never before started in a stadium in Reykjavik which holds less than 3,000 people but, on paper, it is the perfect venue. Should Celtic qualify for the group stages, there will be greater challenges, and when they come, we will be grateful for these competitive games.
Cameras will focus on Ronny Deila before kick-off. I am beside myself with anticipation to see how his team plays, but it will be a while before we get a true picture of that. Tonight we’ll see Neil Lennon’s team, inspired by little more than encouragement from Ronny and John Collins.
A win and a clean sheet, please, Celtic.

The long hard road to the promised land begins tonight. I’m goin for 2-0 Celtic. Hail hail.
Down to the serious stuff tonight already & it’s still only July just want to wish Ronny and the Bhoys all the best and hopefully can kill the tie tonight
Jobo –
agree with the point regarding entertainment – it’s in the club’s DNA, I’d also like us to play more of the younger players.
Standin’ up for Big Ron an’ JC.

Wow, What a statement by Ronny must say I’m flabbergasted.
Incredible first ever competitive line up by Ronny.
Very good team
Biton not fit? Anyway, a statement of intent from RD. COYBIG!
Team pretty much as expected. Remember the opposition. Ronnys philosophy is to attack. Looking forward to this tonight.
Mon the hoops

…and off the field…
some public and very obvious doin’s to the SFA so that even the most sceptical are aware that the club will not stand for further hun chicanery…should the tribute act complete their ‘fantastic’ journey…..

Could be 4-2-3-1, a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 formation with those players picked. Interesting. Happy for McGregor and delighted RD has given one of our own youngsters a chance.
Not as I expected LiviBhoy, McGregor, Commons, Leigh & Anthony.
OK Celtic here’s the deal:
You get to the CL Group Stages………………….
and I will use the WC winnings to fund a wee trip to cheer you on!
H!H!
And the prodigal son isn’t even on the bench!

Hi everyone, I am currently on my holidays and struggling with my internet service so CQN will be providing my match updates. Good luck Celtic, keep it tight and score a goal or two.
Hail Hail.
Right. That’s the money “confidently” down £20 Us – 3. Now for the nerves
Corkcelt
I don’t see how Griffiths can be left out. McGregor playing is a tad surprising but with this opposition it’s a good time to see what some of the young lads can do. Delighted to see him get a chance. Hopefully see more of the young Bhoys this season.

Paul,
I logged to see what, if any action you had taken against Kojo.
Well done.
I hope that is his final yellow card.
On to football, my boy flew from Canada to Iceland for tonight’s game. His dad is jealous….
Then he is off to Murrayfield. Kids these days…..
Is your bhoys name IC

Think of that bigoted bully swaggering around the playground acting the thug because he knows the big boys are behind him. Somebody gives him a burst nose and he is suddenly the whining victim.
Anyway, enough of those losers. Into the Deila era we go! Mon the hoopy Hoops tonight!
Pleased McGregor’s getting a start. Surprised Pukki and Bo Derk aren’t! Interesting…..
I think ole Ronny’s picked a side for either shock or shark effect.
Soon find out.

Great post, mate. It’s quite depressing that a section of our society can vent such bile so openly without being challenged.
The hordes cannot argue the facts. In fact, it’s a source of pride that they refuse to acknowledge the facts.
They seem to think it’s acceptable to abuse/threaten someone simply because he/she has a different point of view.
If our political leaders, be they London or Edinburgh based, continue to act like ostriches on this, there WILL be “civil disorder.” Our club’s leaders also cannot sit on the fence forever in the face of the hordes’ increasing hysteria.
BTW, jimbo, there is one Rangers fan on the TSFM site who has eventually come out forcefully against his club’s tax avoidance, cheating ways. He is the exception that proves your rule. He had better have a strong tin hat.

An unfortunate consequence of the approach Celtic have adopted is folk do not have enough information to reach a more accurate judgement of how it is going or how it will go. That is the price of getting satisfaction.
Had Celtic not wanted the Res to stay alive they only had to vote against it and, given the reason that subsequently came out, that they had written to the SFA and received an answer they could not dispute, they could easily have done so.
The fact that they did not vote against the Res more than suggests that something emerged to make them stay their hand to be sure that if they did vote against the Resolution they were right to do so.
This was not burying anything, it was following the best course in Celtic’s and shareholders’ best interests at that time.
Celtic might still maintain their position after enquiries now made and vote against but that will because they can demonstrate to shareholders they are right to do so.
On the other hand they might find they are no longer satisfied with what the SFA told them and will act on that basis in order to satisfy shareholders.
A response from the SFA is awaited.
Should be interesting when it comes.
