I was concerned about a trip to Estonia after hearing Hearts struggle in their home leg against Estonian opponents last week, so news that Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps beat Flora Tallinn was welcome, although the concern was tempered as news arrived that Hearts were three goals up in the away leg.
The lesson here is that in July, one more week’s training has a huge impact on performance.
Brendan Rodgers will be happy with how training has progressed thus far, but it’s only when players put multiple 90 minutes under their belts that they are ready for competitive action. There’s not necessarily a great deal of work to do to overcome Red Imps (no offence intended), but qualifiers come thick and fast thereafter. Despite beating Slovenian champions Olimpija Ljubljana yesterday, I expect Celtic will be more motivated for Saturday’s game against Maribor.
It gets serious from now onwards.

Interesting to see you whining about when leagues are being celebrated.
You are not even a regular attendee at Celtic park never mind season book holder.
Go comment on stuff you have a vested interest in ya daftie.
In the jungle with Mark McGhee and Murdo Mcleod yeah yeah yeah.
Lots of us were there. Some recognize the world moves on.
______________________________________________________________
Aye well…..
Ye see it’s like this – I chucked going to see the Cellic when MO’N walked.
Fast-forwarding to today, I can no longer afford to go.
So, does that mean that I’m not a Cellic fan anymore ?
That seems to be the case going by your mean spirited mantra.
Your retort to me spells out to me – 3 flaws.
1. You being too precious to embrace criticism of the kowtowing policies that are and will, become more apparent as the days go by of, the Old Firm Celtic PLC-Hierarchy.
2. You dismissing me as a Cellic fan because, I don’t financially contribute to the funds of the, deceitful-kowtowing-sleekit-old-firm-Celtic-PLC-Hierarchy because I can no longer afford to, and….thank God that I don’t buy the Cellic strips, ah mean when did Cellic play in black ? Would Mr Stein have sent his Lions out to play in black strips ?…Who decides these things ?
3. You, executing one of the main flaws which is so evident among the Celtic support of today. The execution of the messenger rather than, being cute, Celtic-cute….and embracing the message.
In other news…..why no announcement of the amount of season ticket sales ?
Why no blowing of the trumpets to tell us all that we’re on the same page to back Brendan to, ensure that we stay top dogs domestically and, try to make an effort in Europe ?
It’s all so grand eh.
Just wait till the 1st mibbery influenced result goes against us and, then you’ll see exactly who, is on the same page as you.
Does Brendan do…..
Ruthless ?
Crafty ?
Devious ?
Celtic-cute ?
Master of mind-games ?
Managing Effe into Celtic’s Yaya ?
Has Brendan reallllllly goat it ?
Well, he’ll need tae…..imho.
…..laters…..
Today sees the opening ceremony of The Homeless World Cup.
1230 at George Square.
I can’t be there unfortunately. I’m in transit dan sarf. But good luck to everyone involved,especially the manager of the team from Cambodia.
HH,Jimmy. Yer a proud fella today.
Good Morning Bhoys from a dry but dark clouded Central Scotland.It is interesting that we have so many midfielders and yet we create so few chances from midfield for our forwards. I guess that is one of my concerns especially in Europe that we create so few chances for our forwards we either need one of our current midfielders to become a creative midfielder or we need to sign such a player. H.H.
Paul 67 – I apologize for double post
didny realize that I was so gifted ;-)
You’ll Never Walk Alone…..in the Jungle.

Have you got no fekin home of your own ?
Morning Billybear,
I think TD’s rant was on page 35, between 09.00 hrs And 12.00 hrs.
Did you seen the Hobbit last night ? I bet it reminded you of a ” Rangers ” supporters convention with all the ugly, aggressive, repulsive , bullies, miserable, vicious, cowardly and thick Orcs.:-))))
Looking forward to the next convention in Warcraft where East meets West , alleged to have been filmed in the Loudon and the Rosevale.

Oops Gene is correct. Sorry I’m not very good living in the past.
67 HEAVEN,
Open to all?
Thanks to the other posters who answered my request. Just read his comments. Sad man who thinks the CFC board can do no wrong.
Dull and grey again here in darkest Lanarkshire, not as wet as yesterday but hardly encouraging.
Anyway, back to gym today , hamstring rehab starts again, bit of shopping, cooking lunch for my daughter, bit of tennis then the long wait till the football kicks off.
Hopefully, I may pass that lull snoozing in the garden with a glass in hand. We shall see..
All the best to the organisers and participants in the homeless World Cup , will try to catch some of that later in the week if I can.

P30,as suggested. He regurgitated it later too.
The previous page is worth a read for the insane ramblings of a whisky-trammeled legend,ACGR. You’ll choke on your cornflakes.
Without even attempting to gather context some bizarre posts during the night and early morning.
This is post no 1690 :-)
Oh no , Giggsy, YOU got post 1690!!! You’d better get to mass right away to cleanse your soul !!
Billybear.
More chance of me playing for sevco. Well, I am the right age.
But interesting you presumed my faith and not a complete lack of it.

To balance up stereotype. It’s a Sunday so you not got a king Billy tea towel to wash?
Sorry, my last post didn’t reflect and catch my tongue firmly in my cheek.
As I remember, Tony Mowbray had a great pre-season… Meant less than nothing in the long run.
Just saying like-say……
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand –

Aye,and we got gubbed 5-1 by Arsenal prior to The Centenary Season.
I could gnash my teeth back then.
IMO,if a game isn’t important enough to bet on,it’s not important enough to lose any sleep over.
Forrest looking very good last night,and Wee Paddy looking poor.What a strange world.Armstrong set to be a player for us if he continues his form,also Rogic,if he signs.I like Biton,keeps the ball moving ,to Celtic players.If we got 8 million,take it.Wee Lenny looking for help at Hibs,a couple of loans would help us and him.
Giggly, what does ‘wash’ mean? :-)
Giggsy, even!
Orcs don’t wash,that’s why they’re smelly. Simples.
Brilliant news about Stan, well done mate hope you have at least another 2 seasons playing.
H.H.
TURKEYBHOY @ 9:36 AM,
“Forrest looking very good last night,and Wee Paddy looking poor….”
It was interesting to see how effective James, on his game, can be. Head and shoulders above Our Wonderkid.
Even when they swopped wings (interesting move by Brendan), Paddy was less effective down the “easier” wing.
That said, I think PR went into the game against an accomplished European side, the way he ended last Season against a poor SPL side.
Things were not coming off, he got caught in/lost possession way too often/easily.
Yet he never hid, kept trying things, got a good shot off and was part of a forward going midfield that rocked NK Maribor.
Still, the Forrest Rogic combo was excellent, paddy will come good and if we can keep them together/fit….
FORREST – ROGIC – ROBERTS
Will be the bane of many defences this Season and not just in Scotland.
Hail Hail
KevJ @ 7-58,
You have no need to explain yourself to anyone buddy.
You keep calling it as you see it.All about opinions.
Keep the Tricolour flying proudly over the Jungle bro.
God bless ye.
Somebody want to tell me what was good about James Forrest in his 30min cameo yesterday
What telling cross did he put in ? What telling pass did he make ?
Absolutely no end product
Get rid
You tying to say that you could hide the Big Hoose warchest money under the soap.
Didn’t realise I wasn’t suppose to help Billybear
Just back from Mass- Gospel on Good Samaritan
Ah well
Does anyone know if the game is on tv on Tuesday one website states premier TV, I looked on their website they are showing the Aberdeen game.
COWIEBHOY @ 10:11 AM,
“Forrest sent in a neat left-wing cross which presented an opportunity for Ciftci.
However, the Turkish frontman, from eight yards, glanced his header just wide of the left-hand post.”
Don’t you read WC’s match reports..:)

Hail Hail
Gene – great sermon this morning on ‘who is my neighbour’. Breaking down barriers and respecting differences. Thought provoking.
Billybear – always find you very civil and hope you continue to contribute.
