Really pleased for Tony Ralston, who along with Kieran Tierney, is included in the Scotland squad for the World Cup. Also going are Benjamin Nygren (Sweden), Sebastian Tounekti (Tunisia), Daizen Maeda (Japan) and Yang (Korea).
The USA squad has not been confirmed yet, so Auston Trusty can still hope to travel to his home country’s tournament. Mexico have also yet to announce their final squad, but Julian Araujo made the preliminary list. If Julian makes it (and we include him as a Celtic player) that could be eight Celtic players at World Cup 2026.
Unsurprisingly, that’s the most since the last time Scotland qualified in 1998, when 10 Celtic players were in France for the tournament. Four Celtic players were in Qatar in 2022, can you name them? Two are easy, one is very gettable, but there’s one I think will challenge a few of you.

Keep well Scullybhoy HH
Yawn
in again
The 1966 World Cup Final between England and Germany featured a notable incident where people entered the pitch during the closing moments of the game. This situation was allowed to continue without interruption for a specific reason.
Gottfried Dienst’s Decision
Referee’s Concentration: Gottfried Dienst, the Swiss referee officiating the match, was focused on the play and did not stop the game despite the crowd’s intrusion.
Key Moment: The incident coincided with Geoff Hurst’s famous goal, which ultimately contributed to England’s victory.
Impact of the Incident
Historical Significance: This moment has become a memorable part of World Cup history, illustrating the chaotic nature of the final moments of a high-stakes match.
Public Reaction: The goal scored during this interruption has been widely discussed and remains a topic of debate regarding its legitimacy.
The combination of the referee’s focus and the dramatic nature of the match allowed the game to conclude without halting play, leading to England’s historic win.
JBA to Toulouse, done deal

Surely the most famous/infamous pitch invasion of all time is forever captured in the words of Kenneth Wolstenholme. ‘Some people are on the pitch, they think it’s all over’, and as the England forward Geoff Hurst scores the final goal, he concludes, ‘It is now!’
*Or the infamous Barca invasion after Dynamo pulled a second back and were pummelling them “they want it to be over” and then stated they were trying tae emulate us at Lisbon 5 years before

I thought that too at the time. He was raging as much as McInnes, and so I assumed he wasn’t coming to us.
Not sure it’s a great loss. A good coach, no doubt. But untested at a big club or in Europe, Wish him well though. He could do well in France.
Two great goals by Villa.All over I would think.Frieburg have nothing up front.
dessybhoy’ nothing more i have to say disappointed Askou
So, who we gettin’?
LOL.

That’s Motherwell back to being a ,Meh team.Sad really.If he kept that team together,couple of additions,which he seems very good at,could have been a top three team.He lost the first couple of months getting them up to speed with his system.
I liked him.Motherwell a lovely watch.He will be sorely missed.Now he has to start again.
Keane favourite I would say if the Despot wants him
Well,when you compare Askou to the guy Nicholson thought was a terrific manager,Nancy,it does not bode well.
Who else will choose?It will be those fekin idiots to decide again.
Frieberg manager been at the sale rail at Primark again…
Desmond might want him.The fans definitely dont.We have enough of a rift as it is.Still,who knows with these clowns.
Probably Keane. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Maloney and Fozzy, with Martin as DoF. I really hope not. Martin has done brilliantly, but he’s not the future. We need a young, modern coach with a good scouting network. Maloney doesn’t have the presence for the job, in my view.
“Chairman Andrew Cavenagh will sanction another significant spend over the coming months as Rohl is given the chance to make his mark on the Ibrox squad. ”
No FFP kites flying around Ibrox.
Best of Luck to Jans Bertel Askou at Toulouse.

Southampton appeal binned
Anyone read that Hun tr
umpet,Gillespie’s statement today?.Being the countries leading club 😅,they are prepared to lead us all,and hope the SFA,SPFL,come with them.
That’s the desperation of losers,trying to rig the game in their favour.
Ist,Scrap VAR.We have won fek all since it took total power away from officials
2,Sack most of the Refs.Bring in Brothers of a higher degree in the Masons.These presently in charge of the he games,have forgotten the allegiencies they swore.
3,Eh,that’s about it.
Well done Aston Villa
Happy brummie have a hoot

metatarsal injury
shankland tripped over his laces running for a bus.
Here we go
Kicked something very likely and will blame it on Celtic, skullduggery as MoN called it today
Maybe he just had an inkling
dessy, i am joking, making it up, like hearts players being assaulted.
You had me there, I would put nothing past them the team bus will need to be an armoured van next time we go there

Keane would do for me.
The whole managed in Isreal thing is nonsense. It would be interesting to open the bonnet on the life is some of those who oppose him. Hardly holier than thou i would imagine.
So…. what a few days we’ve had.
Two Rangers supporters were given the VAR job on Wednesday. Both agreed that it was a penalty to Celtic.
If there had been a crumb of possibility, they would have come up with ‘not conclusive’.
And all of a sudden, McInnes was screaming and throwing the toys in all directions.
Fast forward to Saturday/Sunday/Monday/ Tuesday/ and a bit of Wednesday….
Why am I focused on these days? Well, these were the days that they would have produced the evidence….
Evidence of beatings, thuggery and other bad things perpetuated on their team.
If ANY evidence was available it would have been on all these tv channels to which they had blabbered to regarding Wednesday.
Nothing.
The vacuum is still empty…
Enough of this. We have a Cup Final to win.
Cheers,
Weeron.

Who’ll put out the Celtic fires when auld MON decides that he needs to go to bed early at night and a 2 day week would be just to much of a stretch?
We would already have had the league trophy stripped from our clutches had auld MON not been in the building, and McInnis would be like a tripping oot his heid version Jack Nicholson from ‘one flew over’ on top of the Jambos tour of Scotland bus, trophy parade which would be live on every mainstream media channel with a banner on the bottom of the screen saying “GIRUYT HA HA HA”and “CRY MORE CELTIC” and “EVERY DAY IS THE 12 TH OF JULY” etc, etc.
That would be before the Jambos Special Holiday’s of Obligation from honest John Swinney with his new Jambos Tartan kilt, with thanks from 99% of Bonny Scotland.
EYE!
