Brendan Rodgers would be happy to have given pretty much his entire first team squad a run-out yesterday. I’d expect a similar usage of the squad in Ljubljana on Wednesday but Saturday’s game against Maribor.
There’s seldom anything more than fitness to take from these games but when a young player scored what proves to be a winner, it’s likely to matter more. Ryan Christie looked stressed at the end of last season when five Celtic players scored before he – when playing as striker – got on the scoresheet. Yesterday’s win against Sturm Graz will count for Ryan.
So Bayer Leverkusen are after Efe Ambrose. Not surprised at that one. Surprise isn’t an appropriate word, not at all. Everyone just look at your shoes, don’t make eye contact, poker faces, please.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 4TH JULY 2016 11:37 AM
Bobby.
You have to stop seeing politics through the prism of your own preferences.
How did the people vote ?
Do you accept their verdict ?
Are you suggesting that the people were too stupid to make a reasonable assessment ?
Surely not.
B.T.W. It would appear that you have Blair onside.
That would be a huge insult to them.
Smacks of elitism.
WEEBOBBYCOLLINS
Well,I stayed in Streatham for a few years!
Seriously,I get your point entirely. The realisation that you were identifying that must have scared you more than the shootings did.
I hope you’ve now moved far away from Moss-side(!)
Macjay,
One of the reasons that the Brexit side won in some many Labour heartlands was, in my view, all that was offered was REMAIN.
Remain with Frankfurt and London imposed austerity, zero hour contracts, no job, falling education standards. housing problems, crime, immigrants competing for jobs and services?
Who’d want to Remain in that. No vision, more of the same.
Your side has now got to start delivering on all of the promises about the NHS, investment, immigration, Brits in Europe etc.
Or maybe it won’t be delivered, that’ll probably be the Europeans fault or the immigrants anything but London’s.
Very harsh on Efe today, did Paul67 write the leader?
The boy is an athlete and he can defend (as he sometimes does for us, and often does for Nigeria).
I think it’s unfair to put his loss of form at Ronny Deila’s door. The sainted Neil Lennon should never have played him in the home tie against Juventus within 24 hours of Ambrose getting back from the Africa Cup of Nations, whether Efe declared himself fit or not. Poor, poor management, and after his howlers that night Efe’s never been the same player since.
He needs self-confidence and he needs support, which for him at least has been sadly and shamefully missing from the terraces this past season.
Just my opinion, of course!

‘Mosely was a socialist.’
###
There’s no beginning to your erudition, is there?
Mosley started off as a Tory, switched to the ILP (in part because of his disgust at the behaviour of the Black and Tans) and eventually became a Fascist.
To describe him as a socialist is like calling Judas a Celtic supporter.

Point me in the direction of one single post where I have suggested a second referendum.
I will refer you to one which says that I would vote to ratify the original.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt-that you may have attributed a comment to me which came from someone else,as happened the other night with BMA-rather than suggest that you are making up a narrative to suit your point.
I have too much respect for you to even suggest such a thing.
(I do,actually)
Fieldofdrams
I believe Paul67 penned today’s article. I don’t believe he would ever write about our CEO with the same candour though?
CLOGHER CELT on 4TH JULY 2016 11:47 AM
You do believe in respecting the will of the people expressed in a democratic vote ?
Surely ?
The antithesis of Gerrymandering .
Your analysis of “why” is simply your analysis.
Don`t you think it smacks of pseudo intellectual arrogance to suggest that the British people were ………….wait for it ……………
DUPED ?
ERNIE LYNCH on 4TH JULY 2016 11:49 AM
Away and talk to somebody else.
What has Brexit got to do with Celtic?
( other than increasing cost of players)
.. Just asking?
MACJAY1 FOR NEIL LENNON on 4TH JULY 2016 11:57 AM
The British people were led to believe, by the Leave campaign, that Brexit would ensure an end to migration from the EU. We were also told that leaving the EU would ensure that an additional £300 million would be spent on the NHS.
I appreciate that, living in Australia as you do, you would not be aware of these facts, nor would you appreciate how such lies might have encouraged people to vote in a particular way.
So some on here think Paul is being disingenuous about EFE.
If reports of £1.5 m are true how many of you would knock it back?
Back to politics I see.
just saw Lambert spouting the decision to ‘demote’ sevco was a crazy decision – he just doesn’t get it – supporters cheated for years.
FIELDOFDRAMS
I reckon it was indeed written by our esteemed leader.
Now,where would he be to post at that time?
Is it the usual lunchtime post? Western Australia/Thailand timezone?
After a night out on the US/Canada Eastern seaboard? Prior to one West of that?
Or-my own choice-after a night of shots and partying hard in Ibiza?
Time will tell,but I fancy my chances of a few podia this week!
Macjay,
I’m off to the 6 couties, Rostrevor, County Down. Home of the infamous Anglo Irishman, Major General Robert Ross, you know the guy who burned down the White House in 1812. A wee while after the end of the War of Independence.
A terrorist?
Duped? By politicians that would be a first. Do you feel in that category?

Shhh.
That’s all in the past.
We must all move on now.
Btw,the rest of your post was spot-on,IMO.
OK I warned you….
RED AND GREEN!!!!! CELTIC COLOURS!!!!
Black? Lime? Yellow? Bah!
BMCUW….No not a Mayo man….not even Irish though of course there’s some coursing through lol
Just an opinion……
Referenda(?) Are less democracy than mob rule! They should be banned totally. Political pigmies hide behind them. If they are a one and for all decision how come we’ve had two European refs????
HH
Ernie
maybe we should move on from Brexit :))

Democracy is over rated
It is however the best system we have.
The British people were duped over Brexit.
Its easy to dupe people,PROMISES PROMISES PROMISES
Its a tried and trusted policy,The romans gave the plebs bread and circuses to keep their minds off more serious issues.
Hitler did it and got almost 20% of the vote,Donald Trump is doing it.

Bobby.
I know you accepted the view of the majority and I complimented you for having done so.
This is what I disagreed with.

Hmmm…
Another snake dies by its own poison as Nigel Farage resigns.
=============================================================
I am well aware that you have never suggested a second referendum .
You must be aware that I value our discourse which has always taken place with mutual respect .
And almost inevitable disagreement.

You want to try it some time.
I`ll induct you over a few Guinesses ,a guitar and a few tunes of my yoof.
Some of which may be familiar.

Anecdotally only, – (but with one daughter presently on an internship in Madrid from Glasgow Uni)
I’ll be interested to see how the isolationism vote helps Scotland, where every day voters for Brexit are
suffering ‘a riddy’ following the news with each passing day.
Scotland should have ditched the Union before it excluded us from Europe, any fool can see this now.
BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 4TH JULY 2016 12:23 PM
Free thinkers??
“All money raised goes towards shares.
All money collected by RangersFirst goes towards the purchase of shares no money whatsoever is spent on anything other than the purchase of shares in RFC.”
Till later
MACJAY
Brexit politicians did not set out to dupe anyone. They set out to tell whatever lies were appropriate for their cause.
And in the case of the lead politician behind it,he penned an article for his weekly column in The Telegraph to outline why he was lining up behind the Leave campaign.
He also penned one outlining why he supported Remain.
All of them have either jumped ship like the rats they are,or been jettisoned against their will.
So no. We were not “duped”. We were lied to. You can sit in the comfort of a faraway land,etc. Your ideals realised,sovereignty over all else. No more money to Brussels. Etc etc etc.
We are left with the reality.
FIELDOFDRAMS on 4TH JULY 2016 11:49 AM
!00% agree mate, once our ‘support’ sense the blood of a scapegoat they are relentless.
Didier Agathe’s treatment was equally shocking.

Agreed(!)
It’s not Efe I feel sorry for it’s his replacement

The EU would impose very severe budgetary conditions on a separate Scotland if it applies for membership.
Not so many people can see this yet. Most, of course, aren’t looking, probably because they’re afraid of what they’d see.
BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 4TH JULY 2016 12:23 PM
I have three Aussie kids who are the proud possessors of E.C. passports.
And wondering what their future ” rights ” will be.
What Scotland does is for Jocks to decide,
Tell you what , though , I`ll go along with what they decide.
It`s really not for me to advise.
But I do , of course , have a point of view.

Didi was never the same after that Neilson assault.
He deserved more support after that than he got.
Smashing player,IMO.
Afternoon Timland, as hot as it gets for this time in the hun free mountain valley.
I would wager that well over 90% of those who voted to leave in the ref, did do on immigration grounds, I would also wager that the self same 90+% didn’t have a scooby, nor did they care about any financial fallout re the vote.
Macjay –
It’s not about me being superior. I made it clear in my comment that after the referendum I argued that we must accept the result and get on with it. I then stated that it was what I had discovered in the following days that changed my mind and that the voters were lied to.
There are plenty of LEAVE voters who have sincecome to the same concusion.
