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.

Thanks for the link mate.
Big Roddie with the first goal.
Never really rated Roddie as a young Bhoy but tell u what when I look at old footage he scored some number and real important goals.
I would have been 10 at that game and I guess it was the first time I saw those black numbers on the back of the hoops.
Never liked that.
Gerry I share your disapointment about Davie in later life, but when I hear his name my mind rifts back to his performances in my youth.
I try not to let what he does now sully the memories.
His goal in the 85 cup Final might still be my favourite goal ever!
HH and thanks Bhoys
Well done Andy Murray, ruthlessly dealt with Ronic, who will go on to be a grand slam winner.
Also thought Kim Sears handed royal Kate her erse.
Fernando Chalana
Now that was a midfielder CSC
SID,
Royal Kate is just an average looking woman of her age with money to dress well and have ‘beauticians’
If France score in the first 20-25 minutes it could be a decent game. If not it could be pretty dismal.
Not a big fan of the lump of wood, but this game might just suit him – Portugal will defend deep.
Not sure I’d have brought Pepe back in – always liable to do something stupid.

Great memories, Davie’s free kick nearly bettered by Frank rubberman McGarvey’s header…. Brilliant stuff

Thanks for that video. I was 14 and took a ghirl from school to that match on our first date. Successful night all round. :-)
I’ve thought about this and reckon Andy Murray is by far the best Scottish Sportsperson I’ve seen in my lifetime (born in 61), can’t think of anyone better.
The England team has just agreed to play a friendly against Iceland on Tuesday next to boost morale.
If that goes well they plan to play Tesco on Friday and Asda on Sunday…..

Excellent show on TV 3 – nice to have a choice for a change
Now I know that John James can make accusations for a bit of dramatic effect.
Having said that, I would like to know if Celtic have authorised the transfer of honours to Sevco, maybe Paul 67 can clear that up.
Now that UEFA have confirmed what we knew, I assume our club will take action to have the relevant records amended.
They will right?
Rock Tree Bhoy 7.30pm
Chris Hoy maybe ??
Good Evening.
New blog. A traditional Clumpany blog taking the p*ss out of Sevco and the MSM https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2016/07/10/the-magical-mystery-guffaw/

Hope you dogged the train and both of you got lifted over

I`ve just had a look at great Scottish sportspeople. Andy wins for me.
In cycling, track is not up there with road so, for that reason, Chris Hoy loses out.

Glad you had a good time in West Dunbartonshire this weekend. Nice part of the world if the feckin rain stops. Orange walk free is the winner. :)
Cherry Haundree says you can’t win a major tournament without a top-class goalkeeper. Obviously hasn’t seen the 1970 World Cup. Felix!
Could’ve made Brazilians very unhappy!
Veev lay Frongs!
Been the best equipe, so go win it and make the crowd at the big Meccano piece tres jolie!
Proudboy,
Re Vegas next year if you drop me a line I will try to help

Hail Hail
Anyone heard how EL DIEGO Bhoy is?
Not on much these days.

Cheers, we had a great time, sun splitting the trees on Friday night then peeing down all day yesterday, still good to get away from the hatred, it’s definitely on the wane, I just pray I live to see the day it’s gone…..anyway too much airtime for nomarks
Viva La France (& Grizeman the French Larsson)
Did someone leave the lights on last night
More moths than people in Stade de France
FOXY@7.39pm
I second that.
In the year of the underdog in the EPL – I take Draw Half-Time/Portugal Full-Time @8/1.
Cant wait for footy season to start. Withdrawls. HH
I’m going for France tonight but my predictions so far have been Brad Pitt.So,congratulations Portugal. ;)
GFTB.
Think your bet is safe. As I said I have gone in again on Portrugal and Ronaldo to score at any time. Also same a wee France halftime, drawnfullmtime at 17, s with the bonus. So I splashed another quid/ euro on that.
Anyway, here we go……’mon the glorious Cristiano!!!!

Tims attacked the last Orange walks in Clydebank and Dumbarton many years ago. Tooled up. My exes dad did 6 years in Bar L for a machete attack on the big drum and drummer.
Some anthem and some singing from the French.

Andy Murray? Even better than Tom Forsyth?
Going for a turnup tonight

Nobody should do time for that mob, it’s a total disgrace

Had a fiver free bet from ladbrokes so lobbed Ronaldo hat trick at 50s, that’s France’s best chance of marking him :-)
Enjoy the fitba

That 4 inch rocket/stumble still shown all over the World .

Colin Jackson is my favourite ever bear. His goal in the 4-2 10 men won the league game swung it. Big Tel Butch and his og’s puts him in second place. Bobby Russell, who was a Celtic type player comes 3rd.
Allez les …. Feck it I can’t bring myself to say it, C’mon France.
Great save
Great effort Griezmann! Showing plenty of intent the French.
Fek …these red n blue strips ,it’s like giant fussball.
