European football forever shocks, never more so that when Hibs and Hearts eliminate two teams you have heard of. Rosenborg’s star rises and fades with the clock, but they are still vastly more experienced in Europe than Hearts. Coming from two goals down in the tie to win last night was an heroic result.
The ground under Easter Road has been rumbling since the season kicked off. Defeats in both league games to St Mirren and Motherwell, on top of the away loss in Andora in the last Conference League qualification round, suggested Hibernian would lose to Luzern, with Lee Johnson packing his bags before the Festival ends. If he could win next week’s home leg against Aston Villa, they would erect a statue to their diminutive manager – or maybe a life size figurine.
Tottenham’s Irish hero from the 50s and 60s, Danny Blanchflower, once said, “We aim to equalise before the other team score”. It’s a brilliant quote and I forever see echoes of it as teams prepare for a loss. They look for an easy headline, something that shows them on the front foot, before an impending defeat.
For evidence, just look at the headlines Newco have made for themselves this morning. They’re all ‘demandy’ – for tickets to Celtic Park, proffering faux grievances. 700 tickets is not a safe allocation for these games, I have been there and can testify. That lot really need to take crowd safety more seriously.
7,000 is the correct allocation. 700 is an arbitrary nonsense. If forced, I would offer 19 tickets, nine each representing our two nine-in-a-row campaigns and one for our European Cup win. Let 19 of them honour Celtic in this unique way. I am being ridiculous, of course, but they started it.
All we need to see a resolution here is patience. When I first started going to Ibrox, Rangers were rubbish and Celtic fans were welcomed at three sides of the stadium. The Broomloan Stand, half the Standing Enclosure, a third of the Main Stand and the unsold part of the Govan Stand. You can see the stars aligning again!

Who had Sevco penalty on 59mins.
You gotta laugh. So predictable. 😑
And even the bbc say the hun penalty is soft!
Rainjurz anomaly……. 1-1
I hope the PSV manager isn’t watching the Sevco v Morton game, he’d be tempted to put out a 2nd Eleven against them.
Said to son in law, when MIB gave morton a pen he would have to give huns two.
How long to go at hate factory?
If it ends in a draw it’s straight to Rainjurz anomalies with no extra time.
Where’s Aaron Ramsey when you need him ?

Done 👍
Is the blog broken ?
Aye quiet for a Saturday.
KLV
Well, they were fortunate they were playing a lower league side. Morton were a bit unlucky but didn’t have enough.
Do not trust the Orcs.
Clearly lulling PSV into a false sense of security and trying to stop our board feeling the need to spend more money on our squad.
I mean, they couldn’t just be not very good could they? They signed 12 million pound players (for buttons) and spent big on a Brazilian leg-end. They must have improved.
Don’t trust ’em.
Not been on here for a while after getting dogs abuse for no reason from a Neanderthal, however I must share this. A fried of mine who was a Wolves season ticket holder until last season was not singing the praises of Prodance, very hit and miss, blows hot and cold we’re his words, last year of contract and want him off the books.

🇬🇧 “Rangers’ last victory at the top level was a 1-0 home win against Turkish side Bursaspor in 2010”
______________________________
Aye, their very last, and they’ll never have another one.
“A plucky Morton side were no match for the much classier Rangers. The minnows were given false hope from the award of a very soft penalty but parity was soon achieved when Rangers were awarded a much more obvious spot kick .
As was to be expected, the Ibrox team`s quality shone through and, although only one more goal was scored, a 5-1 scoreline would have been a truer reflection of the mastery of the Gers. Indeed, 5-0 even more so as the Morton penalty was a VAR clanger. There won`t be any team looking forward to an Ibrox tie in the next round.”
I have applied for employment as a Footballl Reporter at the BBC and sent this in as my job application.
I am looking to buy a ticket for the Celtic end for the match against Killie this.

Good on ye……I think :-))
Do you think they willl overlook the extra `l` in `Footballl ` ?

that “raangers” record in europe cl , that is not true, that is the old rangers, the deid wan.
the 2nd rangers record is even less impressive.
6 goup games, 6 defeats
so they have never won a cl group game.
thats it.
Big Jimmy @ .2.39
Simply the second best HH
2nd rangers top all time scorers in the champions leage group are Scotty Arfield (I salute him) and Tavernier with em guess whit, a penalty.
One apiece, what a history.
Champion the Wonder Horse had a dug called Rebel, like half the dugs in Coatbridge.
My favourite TV dug was the littlest hobo and the adventures of a wandering alsation which would go from town to town solving peoples problems before leaving for the next town.
The best League in the World?
For me it has to be the Bundesliga.
Nae Wonder Harry went to Bayern.
All the German teams visiting the Holy Ground make a heck of a racket.
Goals Goals Goals….
….in that League.
I put this bet on over a week ago.
I just need either Hoffenheim or Freiburg to score & theres always an and, either Stuttgart or Bochum to get wan mair goal.
Irrespective if it comes in or not the Bundesliga has it all. Supporters first.

Gene,
Just looked in again. Thank you. That is the very one.
There was a dug in Carmyle called Feeney definitely not a proddy dog
Reporter from Ibrox just said on Final Score Danilo, the £6M striker scored the winner, £6M? I don’t believe it!
