If you are missing your competitive football fix you’ll have devoured the fixture list this morning but it’s still over seven weeks until the first league game of the season, when the league flag will fly before we face Ross County (we will have played a Champions League qualifier five weeks from today).
Thereafter, due to the postponement of a home game to allow for a financially lucrative friendly, Celtic are on the road six times in nine league fixtures, so if our away form is anything like it was for much of last season, it’s likely we will be in the mix, instead of clear leaders, come the end of October.
After an absence of some time, Celtic have a local derby to look forward to. They meet Partick Thistle at Firhill on 26th October with the return game at Celtic Park set for New Year’s Day. We are scheduled for two trips to the Capital within a month but don’t go booking your flights for the Hearts game in September, just in case…..
Curious news today that Celtic director and BT chief executive, Ian Livingston, will leave the telecoms company after five years at the top to become Minister for Trade and Investment in the coalition government. Livingston will serve from the House of Lords. How about boosting the ailing Scottish football industry by lobbying for a merger with a neighbouring league?
Have you bought a ticket for Firday night’s Lions Roar event? Join hundreds of Celtic fans and the Lisbon Lions to watch the Lisbon game and for a Q&A afterwards.

Who was the dentist….marvin Andrews?
People were talking earlier of great footballers. To me, the forward line that had Pele, Tostao, Gerson and Rivelino was the best ever. World class each and every one.
DER rental was brill. If you cld open the wee box at the back to go for a pint on a Tuesday nite!!
gaun yersel big man..
johnlennon..csc.
Whilst talking of great players, its always the attacking midfielders and forwards who spring to mind. What about the defenders?
McGrain Beckanbauer Baresi Maldini
dream team back 4, best I’ve seen in their positions
Puskas!!!
Gunter Netzer at Wembley in a green jersey gave one of the finest displays of football I’ve ever seen.

If The England Squad Had Been Able To Have The Same Level Of Preparation…
As Was Possible For The S.American Squads…..
To Allow Them More Time To Adjust To The Climate And Altitude…..
And Had Not Been Forced To Play Each Of Their Crucial Fixtures…..
In The Heat Of The MIdday Sun…..
A Disadvantage Not Accorded To Their Main Competitors…..
There Is No Doubt In My Mind…..
That These Enchanted Sceptred Isles…
Would Have Retained The Jules Rimet Trophy…..
Brazil….For All Their Natty Strips….
Were A ‘Powder-Puff’ Outfit….
Prone To Over-Elaboration….
And Possessed Of A Fragile,’Latino’ Temperament….
And Would Have Crumbled In The Face Of Good Old-Fashioned Anglo Steel And Workrate…
Pinkety..?
Thuram for Parma was some player at CP.

Thought Lee Naylor merited inclusion before that no mark Maldini!
Jimbo67,
Netzer , Wembley ’72, absolutely outstanding

he was, but my favourite was franco baresi
Burghbhoy
And if we don’t get into the CL?
IMO if we forced Hooper to stay he’ll huff like he did after the Jan transfer window and will be a waste of a jersey
CFC don’t need players who don’t want to be there
Jimbo67
Nezter could play allright. Another german midfielder i admired was uli stieleke. Played for gladbach and real madrid. Nothin fancy but hard as nails
Cabrini as well.

Think you got your Lee’s mixed up, you must have meant Lee Martin
masty is neil lennon @ 20:11,
“my god imagine this boy playing alongside messi scarey
Are you suggesting if we draw them again in the Champions League NOT to depend on the three points?
Thought Neymar was a we bit lightweight when he was first on the scene, but the Brazilians know how to develop Footballers.
His physicality has markedly grown, without loosing his pace and his technique is even better – sublime.
Masty is Neil Lennon
Bobby Moore – best English player of my lifetime. Majestic is the word.
Jimbo
watch this one also….

jimbo67,
Cant disagree with anyone on that list, all outstanding, Best striker I ever saw was Gerd Muller…………….. But Im sure Messi would think the same about Eric Morcombe, absolute P$%h
HH
Can’t quite work out the commonly heard argument that Messi has to win a World Cup to move up the rankings of best player.
Where does that leave players like Jinky, George Best or even World footballer of the year George Weah who in footballing terms played for minor nations.
Does that make World Cup winner Jack Charlton a better player
jimbo67
21:23 on 19 June, 2013
I’ve seen them all and there is noone to compare with Jinky and Messi…….I have also never witnessed any player who loved any team more than Henrik loved Celtic (Paul McStay and Tommy Burns come a VERY close second……..still gobsmacked when I think back on Henrik….
Chairbhoy
gies peace, I am only making a observation, and you are trying to put words in my mouth…were have I said anything about us chucking it , should we meet barca…
PF Ayr
Last fav at Kempton (last exit to Brooklyn)
Too bad to be true
Got a call on Monday to get on it (machine etc)
Opened at 7’s last on bet 365 and into 7/2 immediatley,by this morning it was 5/2
by the time I backed it (just in a treble) it was 15/8
Disgraceful,never looked like competing
A bookies plot
Anyway onwards and upwards
Green Door and Roca Tumu tomorrow at Ascot
Jude,
Cowdenbeath didn’t reach the WCF in 1958 !
Celtic Football Club, open to all, I’m proud to say…..even Socialists!

Point taken.
Tend to agree with you about if a player not happy , get shot.
I am convinced Gary would stay with us if the money was comparable to lower/middle ranking EPL teams and that he loves being with Celtic.
You can see the enjoyment he gets and the team spirit and camaraderie is obvious.
If we paid Gary comparable money do u really think he would go to Southampton/Reading/Hull?
When he goes to Barca, I hope it’s diving Neymair.
am I the only one thinking this has an equaliser all over it?
cue brazil up the park and score.
67heaven
You are having a giggle?
Henke loves or loved the Club.
Tommy Burns lived for it.
No comparison fella.
Greenyinfurrafenian
Stielike. Great player – I like real hard men like him, Tardelli and Davie Hay who can really play
Jimbo
I see others mentioned those Brazilians I mentioned. Nobody, I think, mentioned the other forward, whose name I couldn’t remember earlier: Jair, I think. A sheer joy to watch those,
Tigana, Giresse and Platini were a midfield to dream of, as someone else said before.
Forward combinations – Gullit & van Basten (1988)
Defenders – Baresi & Gentile.

That was my impression also…..Gary was great for us, and he will now move on…..what a shock he is going to get
did jair not score in every game?
the singing detective demands the resignation of campbell ogilvie
