Hot on the heels of a former Celtic player becoming the most expensive defender in transfer history, we watched Dedryck Boyata stroll through Belgium’s win against England last night. I would be more animated on this subject if he was secured on a five year contract, but as he his current deal only has one year to go, such a high profile performance could reduce our options for the player.
How many of you thought we would be in this situation after the Ibrox game in March? That day Brendan Rodgers said there was better to come from Dedryck. He is still not the finished article, but he’s a key cog in a team who fancy their chances in Russia.
Stiliyan Petrov match worn Champions League shirt raffle
We have a very special raffle, which ends this afternoon! The shirt Stiliyan Petrov wore in Celtic’s 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich during our 2003 Champions League campaign is available. You can buy a ticket for £1 here on ebay. Stan signed the shirt.
All proceeds go to the Stiliyan Petrov Foundation to aid research into leukaemia and cancer treatments. Stiliyan’s recover from leukaemia shows us just how far treatments have come, but as our own CQN community knows too well, more progress is needed. The draw will be made at Woodside Hotel, Aberdour, where the 14th annual CQN Open Golf Day is now underway.
Hope to see you later.

Morning Bhoys
Had a great night at TRNSMT last night with the wife and niece. At least one Gallagher hasn’t changed his attitude to music and life.
JOBO don’t know you but seem a decent kinda guy.
BIG JIMMY don’t you feckin dare.
But if you both do and “IF THE WORST COMES TO THE WORST AWE THE BEST”
KEEP THE FAITH
P.S. Jimmy
you were right about the beautiful women at TRNSMT and I was lucky enough to be with 2 of them for the whole show.
Good morning CQN
Great wee day yesterday and so good to see Lionsroar67 looking so well.
Fantastic food at Malaga Tapas. If you have not tried it, go in and see Cristobal.
The beer in the Bon Accord was also flowing v. well. Thanks to everybody that was able to make it and have a few beers or 6! Posters and lurkers combined. It was good to see a few faces that I had not seen for a while.
Jobo-enjoy your wee break and then get your flouncing backside back on here, even if it is just to lurk.

I have never met you and was hoping you might be in the Bon Accord yesterday!
We will miss your input greatly and I hope that, if you do decide on a sabbatical,
it will be only for 24 hours!
This blog needs posters like you!

Big Jimmy
Again I hoped to meet you yesterday but it was not to be!
Really enjoy your blasts at the ‘Chumps’ and your horsey
tips
Please reconsider as we need the variety that people like you
and Jobo bring to the blog.

Sorry I missed talking to you yesterday (I was the tall good good looking
grey haired guy standing at the bar (I’ve got to say ithat as no-one else will!)
Hope to see you at the next get-together (hopefully in the Bon Accord!)
Hail! Hail!

Two games scheduled for Tuesday.One a closed door game against Linz,the other Sparta Prague.Seems we will be seeing Brendans CL team,or as near as he can get at this stage.Should be getting the fitness up to scratch.
Looking forward to this one.
Just a thought about yesterday’s WC games.The two guys we had to face up to in the PSG GAME really showed what they are capable of,against top opposition.And that was without Neymar.Magnificent strikers.
BSR…that gets you off the hook then!
Would all Carp and Roach please put your fins together for….
Spain v Russia.
Double —– over 3.5 goals and over 11 corners.
Low odds but likely.
Iniesta should sit this one out and let Thiago run amok.
Iniesta isnae a Xavi but he can still be very effective.
England if they beat Columbia, they are hard, will stand a good chance of winning the Tourney.
Uruguay look very solid. France are probably the favourites right here and right now.
FBS
Deschamps was aware to get Bayerns Tolisso on straight away when the booking happened.
Mbappe passed through Pakheads gates.
;))

Cavani ?
Yes – I banged on about him . probably banged on more re Pastore and Dybala – both of whom struggle to get a game for a very iffy Argentina . It’s worth noting that several Italian journos have longed claimed that you only get a game for Argentina if Messi likes you .
Banged on a lot here ( verbally) re Lucas Torreira ( from Fray Bentos)- looked great at Pescara and even better at Sampdoria . I thought he was great last night .Rumor mongers have him signing for Arsenal for £25 million .. Not bad -Sampdoria paid 1.5 million euros for him.
Cavani is a wonderful Number 9.
Always on it.
Every game – Everything given.
Uruguay is small – looks United to me.
Mbappe v Neymar at the World Cup……..

C’mon mate.
There’s is nothing to fear in that duo.
Nothing that a good solid experienced centre back wouldn’t curb. Celtic have loads of cash floating around, just that we won’t spend it. And there are loads of that type floating around the English Championship.
We have 2 bombscares at centre-back, just now. One of em has somehow bluffed his way into the Belgian team.
In other news Arlene Foster has spent weeks of reaching out to communities to which her party has not traditionally been well disposed.
Had a great few hours in the Bon Accord yesterday, great meet up with some old friends, especially Lionsroar67 and also meetin a couple of new friends.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Delaneys Dunky,
A brilliant Dumbarton banner in the Celtic end @ the ST Pats Massacre.
I had went to other things back then…. dance music.
I loved seeing that this Morning.

The best away Celtic trip to England I experienced was on the Dumbarton Harp bus to Highbury for Paul Davis testimonial. Those older Son’s of the Rock, took three teenagers fae Knightswood under their wing and taught us how to drink. Great men.

DD,
Not sure thats a Great thing but hey. Love is the Dave. Surely. I realised I wished I was there rather than elsewhere.
BCW,
Praying for those Leaders ye dinnae like is powerful.
Especially now.
trump up the Jam isnae a Religious Leader – he is a Politician, actually he has never been 1.
I know Nothing. I know the World is Full of Very Good people.
Arlene going to an orange march is terrible. FFS she is Orange!!!!!!

Our old friend the Urban Fox is going at the Curragh today 11-1 in Hills FOXYHORSESCSC
Current first squad has 29 players, probably could add one or two other youngsters to that. In terms of numbers we are well covered in every position, in terms of quality we definitely need to improve in some areas for Europe. Can only see us signing players once we have moved maybe half a dozen or so out (eg De Vries, Gamboa, Allan and Christie are obvious candidates to move on, with Ralston and Miller going out on loan).
GK – Gordon, Bain, De Vries
RB – Lustig, Gamboa, Ralston
LB – Tierney, Miller
CH – Boyata, Ajer, Simunovic, Hendry, Compper, Bitton
CM – Brown, Ntcham, Kouassi, McGregor, Allan
AM – Rogic, Christie, Johnston
W – Forrest, Sinclair, Hayes, Morgan
ST – Dembele, Edouard, Griffiths
Don’t think we’ll see much incoming transfer movement until English transfer window closes on 9th August. We’ll be going with what we have for the first three rounds of qualifiers at least.
We will no more Sing the Song,
For Stuart Armstrong.
:(
Very disappointed as he had Drive when he was on it.
Olivier is gonnae play the game well defensively but can hit that killer pass.
He is also very menacing in that midfield, in an exciting way.
Moussa Dembele.
Pete
Arlene is following a fine tradition of Irish Orangemen coming to Scotland for a bigot festival. Fife is full of Arlene supporters sadly.

Going out for a walk before the Spain game. Might pop into Hills Dalmuir first. Thanks for heads up. Run Reynard Run.

Delaneys Dunky,
If you have a spare Prayer gie her a wee mention.
We all need help.
It is not Flesh or Blood we battle G-thang..

No sign of Nir Bitton this pre-season. Is he still a Celtic player?

Adagio for Strings in it’s original form is a song I would expect to hear on my Judgement Day. Tiesto trance mix did it Almighty Justice.
Come Kingdom Come.
I’ve not witnesses any of the Celts this pre Season.
I’d dearly Love Ryan Christie to make a mark.
My Dad is the Greatest, Last year he praised Scott Allan to the Heavens.
I’d not seen any games he’d seen.
Given a choice Scott or Ryan.
The Auld Fella knows his stuff. Scott – need that pass to be picked.
