I’m not going to laugh at results against Luxembourgers or Lithuanians – it’s not so long since Gibraltarians bloodied the nose of a team who went on to become invincible treble winners. Scottish clubs have a long history of pitching up in June and July wholly unprepared for European football.
These results only retain the ability to concern if they are not resolved by remarkably improved performances. Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic grew in stature last summer until they became a competitive Champions League team in the autumn. Others may do the same this season.
What will be clear long before the lottery of the European play-off rounds, is where the gaping chasm exists in Scottish football: are Celtic our only team competitive in Europe, or is there at least one other?
Neither you nor I care who competes in the Europa League, but failure there if Celtic progress to the Champions League will compound an already acute challenge for the Scottish also-rans.

Come in off Springfield Road, drive under the North Stand on what was Janefield Street, turn left behind the celtic end and on to as close as you can get to the Superstore.

THanks!

I always knew he was a hun. But to say that on a programme dedicated to Celtic was hunbelievable.
PHILBHOY
To get the superstore just head up or down London Road and turn in towards the stadium at Big Billy’s statue. It looks like you’re not supposed to go in there but it is access to a small carpark for store customers. I use it when I’m going in and I also drive past everyday when at work. Hope this helps.
P.S.
Phone your credit card company to raise your limit before you go.
KEEP THE FAITH
Big Packy, your mate obviously doesn’t lurk enough. I’ve been on here sometimes when the mood has seemed almost anti-Catholic. It all depends who is visiting but I would suggest that being anti-Orange and anti-hun is not anti-Protestant. Many Protestant Tims that I know hate the OO and the huns with a vengeance.
TONYROME
Thanks and thanks!
What’s a credit card???
(Only kidding, unfortunately!)
PHILBHOY
Tell me about it.
KEEP THE FAITH
TinyTim – I believe young Bradley is still with us and long may that continue!

Park in the free parking in Rutherglen and get a taxi
Big Packy
If by Catholic you mean one who still believes in that faith ( as opposed to having been `brought up` as a Catholic) , then I would guess the majority on here are not Catholic.
Certainly, I have never seen an overtly anti-Protestant post on here nor, in fact, have I heard Celtic supporters decrying Protestants anywhere.
Cheerio for now.

To any bankies who care, big Pat Kelly is moving past us tomorrow. St Stephen’s, Clydebank 10am. Agood Irishman who lived a good life as a teacher and football fan.
GUYFAUKESFOREVERHERO
May your friend rest in peace.
mags this needs to be explored.do we welcome prods into the fold or not.
reading this just now.
read the 2nd volume 1st as it was a gift at christmas. the 1st volume though is absolutely brilliant. like brendans sweeneys celtic the early years, if anyone doubts that celtic (the members ) were political then you need to get reading.
astonishingly good.
