The Football Specials will be packed today with optimistic Celtic fans ahead of their opening competitive game of season 1966-67 at Tynecastle. The Glasgow club hope to win the League Cup for the fourth time in their history. They face a Hearts team looking to win the League Cup for the firth time, which last season became increasingly dependent on lightning-fast striker, Willie Wallace.
By comparison, the reigning Division One and League Cup champions have two of the best wingers in the country. Bobby Lennox and Jimmy Johnstone were the only Celtic players to score in their final eight competitive games of last season, as Jock Stein’s team’s fitness proved crucial with a barrage of late goals.
St Mirren visit Clyde in the other Group 4 game, the only group with all Division One teams, but it’s the two giants who meet in Edinburgh who are favourites to produce the group winner.

Oh Dear, sitter
Another great lay of from Ciftci, Armstrong should score though:(
SA should have scored one on one with GK
Confidence shattered I think
Armstrong continues to be very very very poor. He is completely out of his depth in this team. How many chances does he get to prove he offers nothing! Henderson looks bright and Celtic like.
nice take by christie from a good boyata pass but his pass hits his own man on the back……….armstrong in 1 on 1 but keeper saves
Janko is looking really good.
no a bad cross from izzy!
As a first team regular I was expecting more of Armstrong but he continues to disappoint.
He seems to lack confidence.

Be careful wi’ that cricket. That’s how I started 35 years ago as a student. Something to watch in the days before daytime TV.
Totally hooked on test Match Cricket now. Fantastic game though, the ebb and flow of a match is a thing to behold.

– Scottish papers trying to attach blame to Scott Brown a week after an incident where Hearts player has already been found guilty of cheating
– Radio Scotland still talking about the incident as though it should never have been reported
– Hearts trying to get the Celtic captain into trouble somehow even though their players has been convicted
– Sky TV pundits putting down Celtic with every touch of the ball
– People at the back of the bus missing their stop and still singing the same songs in an attempt to make everyone feel guilty for being a Celtic fan
Pure rubbiage bein’ a Sellic fan, innit?
:-)))))
there never seems to be wee guys playing for italian teams…….even the short ones are powerful
Has Andy Walker said anything positive about Celtic? A man full of resentment for some reason.
Shot bouncing off Fasan
Liam gets a sore one.
great strike from eder but its straight at fasan who parries it away
Another decent save Fasan
Don’t really see the point of signing Doris
Janko looks great!
henderson caught again
Fasan looks like he’s cut all the hair off the sides of his head and stuck it on his chin

Whatever will be will be.
It’s not just Wa*ker that’s negative, that muppet commentating as a list of negative facts that he brings out for every player,.
I wouldn’t afford them any interviews at all ever.
Sky sports run by Huns for Huns
:O)
Thought Italians were all meant to be handsome devils?
One or two of that Inter team could pass for huns_))
Boyata staking his claim for the development squad.
Huddle
I actually thought, for the money, and likely potential he was a good buy at the time. Being optimistic still hope he will come good but given that we seem to be shopping in a different pool with Brendan opportunities will run out.
HH
fasan saves low
He held it this time
Just a wee reminder for Sky, a Celtic back up side is playing a Serie A side
Italians stopped being handsome devils around the same time they stopped being great at football :O)
good save again from fasan diving low to his right

Will Dorus have his Day?
Ciftci and Armstrong link up well but the tangerines are still level.
A bit behind,but can I call mickybhoy diddums?
Much more polite than my first choice.
As long as he disnae turn out to be calamity Jane.
Que Sera Sera
Clown of a ref books Henderson, who has been kicked off the park.
