Celtic will face Kazakhstan Champions, Astana in the Champions League play-off round later this month, with the first leg at home. The teams faced in the same qualifying competition last season, with Celtic progressing, winning the second leg 2-1 after a 1-1 draw in Kazakhstan.
Astana eliminated Legia Warsaw in the last round, securing a 3-1 victory in the first leg, before holding on for a 1-0 defeat in Warsaw after 8 minutes of added time.
Although Brendan Rodgers will know what to expect, the enormous journey, the heat and the fact that Astana are 21 games into their league season, will give him cause for concern.
On the positive side, our man in Warsaw tells me there is a new pitch at the Astana Arena, which Legia report was excellent and a near-grass experience. He also tells me Legia should have done better in this tie, were the better team home and away, but were caught by Astana’s counter-attack.
They “parked the bus” in Warsaw and showed signs of indiscipline against Legia, which Celtic may be able to exploit.
Strikers Kwumasi and Kabananga, and midfielder, Maevski, are their danger players, while their keeper is “awful”.
It’s there for you, Celtic.

A pal who posts on here , showed me the letter for those in the Safe Standing Section, the recommendations are mostly laughable, but as someone who sits in the Main Stand, why did i not get the same letter? Is it not the same rules for everyone in the stadium? The rules are in the ST contract, but guys who have done nothing wrong are being victimised here IMO
to…

Pass on my best to V

Delaney’s at 10.36 , Murray’s paw prints would have been allover Masterton’s bank and their decision to call in the overdraft we had.
My cousin and his family have lived in Dalgety Bay for over 20 years.
We were invited to the silver wedding do for my cousin and his wife in June 2003. It was in the East End Park function room . I didn’t want to go as I was beelin about Dunfermline ‘s ‘efforts ‘ a few weeks earlier at Ibrox plus Yotkston’s previous pops at us.
We did go and had a good night . I found out later my cousin wanted to have the party elsewhere after dunfermline ‘ lay down’ to the huns but his wife said no.

For my sins i’ve never really got into the background of any of my favourites .
Nile Rogers is one of the all time greats for me.
The right time and place and all that :))
I listen to all genres of music
Never really look up the artists names or the country of origin .
As above- i think Jobo posted earlier on same issue
BTW – No directives for away fans , breaking seats,throwing seats, wrecking toilets,singing illegal songs….

Of course it is victimisation.
Ex desk jockey cop Hawthorne and his mob’s paws are all over this.
Do pigs have paws??
Bada Bing , my son got his letter on Tuesday. It was addressed to the parent or guardian, he’s 17.
It took him all of 5 seconds to look at it then threw it in the recycling bin.
I read it. Instead of do’s , it was just dont’s.
Let’s hope our team put on a show tomorrow.
Lurkers and lapsed posters
Dallas
When I lived in Fife, I found Dunfermline and East Fife fans very Celtic friendly. Raith Rovers and Cowdenbeath fans less so. :)
The Pars loved the Jock Stein connection.
The lovely Miss Manson

Have you heard of Garbage?
Huge USA band. Shirley Manson fae Bathgate is their lead singer.
HH
Declan Patrick McManus
for all absent friends who would have been at Celtic Park later today
Dallas- the rules should apply to all not some , if you took all the recomendations to the letter, might as well just put the seats back permanently HH
BSDA BING
I asked that very same question to THETIMREPER earlier do the rules only apply to our fans .
SOAL will do pal .
Oops BADA .
Getting tired ;))
