Europe a sideshow to league duty at Fir Park

1000

A Europa League tie against Rennes on Thursday would normally set midweek pulses racing but when Celtic have such a crucial game ahead in the fight for second place Neil Lennon has a major decision to make, does he rest players for the Motherwell game?

Sunday’s game at Fir Park is set to become one of the most important games of the season for Celtic and I’m sure Neil would prefer a clear midweek to prepare for it, but resting players, with the inherent increased chance of defeat, could further damage fragile morale.

Celtic need a confidence boosting win but they need heads focussed on beating Motherwell even more. The consequences of defeat on Thursday are unpleasant, but the consequences of defeat on Sunday are incalculable.

    Anybody not standing up for Neil Lennon at this historical time even if we were 25 points behind should be ashamed.

    maybe in my old age im missing something here, but unless ive totally lost the plot none of my posts have mentioned Lenny?

  8. Good evening friends.

     

     

    I regard Thursday’s match as very important and don’t think we should be looking any furtehr ahead. That’s not to say we shouldn’t use our pool of players and it might be the game for Wanyama, McCourt and Samaras.

     

     

    Big European nights at The Park are always special. I really do hope we get a 35,000+ croed and a good positive atmosphere.

    Hi big pal, he got out on Saturday, the fifteen pins ain’t permanent thank the lord. The bhoys are sorting out a charity night for him, I will keep you updated mate. I will be having a wee night in Blackpool soon on the way back from ‘bonnie’ with my mother and Mrs G, I will give you a shout and join you in the Shammy for a pint if that’s okay.

     

    P.S Paddy is staying in Jersey for the time being…

    I predicted earlier in the blog that the big and wee Huns would combine after administration and would be known as

     

     

    Reekie Club 1690

     

     

    Chairman Alex Salmond

     

     

    Home games to be played on pitch loaned from Holyrood Palace

    I agree with you and look forward to these nights.

     

     

    Can not disagree with your choice of personnel either but not too many changes. Bhoys have paid good money to go to the game and moreover travel from a far – not to see the reserves.

     

     

    Mrs Prestonpans asked if she could go with me, that cost me £28 plus £1.75 to print it off, ouch!!!!!!

  14. MWD,

     

     

    I did ask you nicely before I went on my Honeymoon to refrain from

     

    Your Passion of pulling the legs off of Jenny long legs but you being a former moderator of the church of CQN you just couldnae resist.

     

     

    The more you step in shite the further it spreads but its clear you willnae listen to me you animal desecrater you.

  15. I am Neil Lennon on a celticrollercoaster on

    Happy Birthday BT

     

     

    How many bumps is that I owe you?

  16. prestonpans bhoys –

     

     

    Hope you both have a memorable night. I wouldn’t regard my suggested changes as being reserrves. particularly Wanyama who has impressed me in every game and I think deserves a start before Ki or Kayal. I’d have Sami in for Hooper with Paddy or Commons probably at the expense of young James.

     

     

    So I’d have –

     

    Foster

     

    Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Wilson

     

    Wanyama

     

    McCourt, Ki or Kayal (probably Kayal), Ledley

     

    Stokes, Samaras
