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…

Is it that it’s the only 8 letters of the alphabet it’s impossible to make a word from?

At front of bar
On the train from dumbtn to glasgow heading to blackfriars to meet my bruv and nephew and a helpful tim on twitter from paisley who’s giving me a ticket for the game ,happy days!
So looking forward to the game..what a result for the young hoops earlier..any kind of win will do me.hope yous all have a great day..stay safe.COYBIG HH
And may I say, sammi was looking utterly gorgeous today in the Metro. Those doey brown eyes – a man could find himself drowning in them.
i think composure will be more important than discipline tonight – tough to see where the goals will come from – Commons and Brown are a big loss – is lesley match fit for this level?
Different team , shape and partnerships – will be tough tonight but i’d take a scrappy victory.
Watch out for those “Chelsea Casuals” bhoys………of course they should be in Shalke…..but they much prefer a tear up in Glasgow,aye right.Will be interesting to see the addresses of those lifted.
Till later all
2-1 Hoops,
Enjoy getting your nerves shredded on the celtic roller coaster tonight.
ALL ABOARD !!!!!!!!!!! :))

Just listened to you on Desert Island Tims. Brilliant!
Good luck with your petition which I signed weeks ago.
Your wee story about listening to matches on the radio struck a chord. The Gaelic love song was nice too.
Enjoy the game tonight! HH
………………………………….
Hope we get a win tonight I am watching at home and my son is at the game.
Thanks for supporting the petition and don’t be shy about putting it round your like-minded friends.
Billy NoWell is a master and he made me sound more interesting than I am and in fact I believe Billy could even make the nasal whinings of Chic Young sound interesting….Too far but he does have a very good and professional attitude that puts the interviewee at ease.
Before the internet were Celtic fans just bampots?
amazing a son of dan

Panic over, trains running normally phew. I’d read on twitter someone saying trains were off from Dumbarton. I’ll have to remind myself everything I read on there isn’t always true lol
My excitement is exacerbating my D.T’s. I will need to have a drink. :)

Brother is on a bus from Ireland he text me earlier I got impression he was in Glasgow already

cliftonville; Cheers for the info. Thankfully It would appear that it was just a nasty wee rumour about PC Mason Boyne.

Excellent mood at the moment as the generous Dutch tax authorities have just given me a 13,800 euro tax rebate! I am as Stunned as a Norwegian Blue! Never ever paid an accountant to complete my tax return before but only having moved to the Netherlands last year and not quite understanding the intricacies of the Dutch tax system I thought I’d best play it safe and get a tax specialist to complete my return to ensure I didn’t end up owing them anything. Best bloody 540 euros I have ever spent.
Now just to work out how to conceal my windfall from Mrs O?
Hopefully Ajax will be just as generous as their tax collecting countrymen tonight :-) :-) :-)

I see our Youth Team from our much slated Youth Development programme beat the much vaunted Ajax academy by 4 goals to 1 today in their CL fixture.
Well done to all concerned.
Paul67, if the new wifi works!?!?!!? You could put the note up yourself!!
BSR/Pog, thanks for putting the link to the new Celtic Live App, looks great.
Here is a guy who put it better.

I believe Peter Grant is commentating on our game this evening. Well, that goes some way to explaining his recent comments on all things Celtic and his joining in Derek Whyte’s desert jamboree trying to support thon deid team’s reexistence.
