If you cast your mind back 50 weeks to the visit of Barcelona to Celtic Park you may remember we took to the field with a so-called skeleton squad. Captain, Scott Brown, was missing, as was Hooper, Stokes and Izaguirre. Of those outfield players on the bench, only Paddy McCourt had made a dozen appearances for the club.
We lost Lustig and Samaras to knocks during the game, replaced by Watt and Kayal, respectively (yes, an 18-year-old striker replaced the right back).
The script was written. We have another enormous challenge ahead tonight but I would rather tackle Ajax than Barcelona.
There will be an abundance of energy from the crowd, and from the Celtic players, but discipline is all important. Don’t make unforced errors, don’t take unnecessary risks, don’t pull jerseys, and most importantly of all, don’t concede free kicks in dangerous areas.
The team who makes the fewest mistakes will win the game; we don’t need to be desperately creative, just stick to task.
This is our Cup Final, let me at them…

How you doing,bud?
Recovered from the footie wi MALCEYE yet?
Heading over your way for the next Saturday we are on live. Wi yer bud’s t-shirt.
I’ll keep you posted. And I’ll try to make sure it’s the correct pub this time!
Does any one have any further info on the police stopping Irish CSC buses and questioning supporters?
RIEPERMAN
By the way,not sure 200 will be nearly enough. I hope they don’t realise this….
I am a believer, I believe that Celtic will overcome this evening.
The spirit of Miki 67 & St John Doyle and all other great Celts will ensure it.
Hail Hail
TTT, I have been told today by my company that I am to be in London on the 24-27th November. I am gutted, Mrs Doc is delighted, she is getting my ticket for the Milan game.
I hate it when work gets in the way of supporting Celtic!
I am glad my boss is in London and never comes up here, especially on these days.

These reports of Ajax fans, hell bent on causing trouble over the sale of Paddy McCourt, are worrying.
Reports of Glasgows finest taking an 8hr tea break today are unfounded
Mate txt to say ajax fans rioting in eden centre .
Where is eden centre ?
Ones called Ronald! Ones called Frank!

There is one huge difference between Barca and Ajax .(no doubting Barca are better)
Barca had to break us down on the floor.
They had to play through us.
From open play they rarely ever make you need to defend high balls or crosses.
Barca have virtually no aerial threat from set pieces.
Ajax have some really tall guys.
Also the crowd accepted having around 10% possession , as it was Barca.
I doubt if they will accept that tonight.
IMHO we should play this like an away tie.
If we don’t we will get beat.

Hmmm
Right across from Annie Millers.
Betcha the cops don’t think to look there for any CCTV match-ups or looted goods.
Half and half scarves I fully understand.
When there is a mug punter with too much money, somebody will help him spend it.
Got to hand it to Tony Mowbray for resilience. That chin must be made from Kevlar.
Good luck to the big chap.
Good afternoon CQN
Looking forward to game tonight
Will have to go for bus as trains seem to be off from Dalmuir to Glasgow
Safe journey to all travelling to and from game
Come on you Bhoys in green
Keep the Faith
Hail Hail

I think the next one is Saturday 9 Nov away to Ross County. Saturday lunchtime.
Be excellent if you can make it,but don’t let it get in the way of work or the missus.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the game. I would have too,tbh. But circumstances got in the way.
Like being 20 years too old,and 20 yards too slow!!!!

How did you get on at Leven?
Do the SFA answer enquiries or is Balde still the only player in Scotland to be booked for leaving the pitch?
