Apologies for recent radio silence. Lots going on with some weighty matters which will soon be of interest to you, unfortunately didn’t have time to blog for a few days.
So much going on simultaneously but I can’t really focus on anything with the daunting evening ahead tomorrow. Season Two of the Brendan Rodgers era will be considerably influenced by the events in Trondheim. Rosenborg are a shadow of their former glory, but Celtic must patch a team together and win (or secure a score draw) in Norway to reach the Champions League group stage.
Most Celtic fans I speak to expect us to win the game, but we’re an optimistic lot (cough). Let’s hope that’s based on sound reason.
I was surprised to hear Shaun Maloney has been speaking to Brendan Rodgers about a youth coaching role at Celtic. Shaun was a rare graduate of the Celtic youth system under Martin O’Neill, breaking through as an 18-year-old in 2001. He will also know more about Lennoxtown than practically any player, as he gorged on gym time there during lengthy periods of injury, while others were resting.
Does he have what it takes to be a good youth coach? This is a difficult one to answer. Look east. Ian Cathro had an exemplary record as youth and assistant coach under some talented managers, assisting at Valencia and Newcastle. But Cathro’s success was down to the management structure he flourished under. On his own, at Hearts, he perished. Sacked four days before the league kicks off.
If Shaun joins the Celtic coaching setup he will begin a new tutelage under Brendan Rodgers. The manager may be looking for an intelligent, open, canvass, to work with.

tinder mo chara, just look up bicus x
Sad to see Auldheid getting treated appallingly on here. He has been an incredible advocate for justice during this whole episode.
Taking the time and showing a great deal of patience to impart the intricacies and intrigues so we can be informed.
He has shown great resilence and persistence and deserves some respect.
—————————————————————
Think Leigh should be OK from an SFA charge.
He can cite Peter Lawwell’s Rory Bremner episode.
That was reported to the Compliance Officer but no charges were brought;)
Just Admonished by the SFA President.

PL’s other Clouseau is an ex cop, the sight of him at Murrayfield a couple of years ago pointing out to stewards to eject guys was shameful

Worked in Prague 6 weeks a year for the last ten.
I watch mostly on Celtic tv.
But the Dubliner in Old Town Square had a Tim behind the bar who would always put the game on for me.
There used to be a Celtic supporters club showing games but not sure they exist anymore.

There is an Irish themed sports bar sitting in the corner of the main square, should be on in there
Ekbhoy – he was still there last season, wrong the main front door entrance

Brendan Rodgers to review Celtic travel plans following Leigh Griffiths incident
By Giuseppe Labellarte, Reporter
Filed: Tuesday, August 1, 2017 at 22:54 UK
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he will review the club’s travel arrangements after Leigh Griffiths was verbally abused at Glasgow Airport.
The 26-year-old striker was confronted by a holidaymaker – and retaliated verbally – as the Hoops flew out for Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier against Rosenborg in Norway.
Rodgers told BBC Sport: “Incident or no incident, it’s something we can look at that allows us to travel safely. The club knows my feeling on our travel and the organisation with that. That’s something that’s internal for us and, with the help of Glasgow Airport, we can maybe get something more suitable.
“Any team in any airport in the world, if you’re going from the first entrance of the airport right the way through to the room where you have to pass every element in the airport, every restaurant, every bar in a busy period, of course there’s always a risk.
“If there was an incident, it’s certainly not something that we would want and not something that a team or anybody else should have to go through. You want to go, get checked in, get to your plane and get to the country you are travelling to safely and without anything else.”
Griffiths missed the goalless first leg of the third qualifying tie through suspension but is expected to play some part for the return in Trondheim.
