While Celtic were taking care of business in Dundee, Ferencvaros had the weekend off to prepare for their Champions League qualifying game in Glasgow on Wednesday. This means the Hungarian champions have played only two competitive games since the end of June, one in the league and last week’s qualifier against Djurgardens.
Rested players are better than tired players, but I would not be happy if Celtic were going into this match having played so few games. Neil Lennon will have learned things from Saturday’s game that will inform his plans for Ferencvaros.
French clubs have been European champions as often as Scottish clubs. PSG have two of the most talented and expensive strikers in the world, but they both failed to take the gilt-edged chances that fell their way in Lisbon last night, so France and Scotland stay tied on one win each.
90 minutes pass quickly in knockout football but the pain of regret lingers, just think back to Cluj or Copenhagen. I would use post-match photos of Neymar to motivate the players ahead of Wednesday. No one wants to feel like that loser.

Corkcelt…has that plane landed yet? 🛬
EXPAT_CELT
Anywhere near Pentwater?
Worst performance in the DU game?
Not AD as the MIB
Not JF as the fandancer in chief.
It was AW with a performance to bore pigs with — he really is stealing a wage.
Horrible attitude towards us and football in general — he has single-handedly reduced interest in the SPL by 50% — SKY are just phoning it in now in huge contrast the the BT crew that actually tried to talk the league up.
AW is a disgrace to humanity never mind CFC if he thinks his performance is acceptable. People are losing their jobs in the SPL because he tries to talk the league into irrelevance because that is the herd instinct of a media Ludge in Scotland that denigrates what they can’t win / control.
Useless idiot would be my best description of the job he does.
Yawn.
Anyone else unimpressed with the standard cryptic nonsense modern footballers (and their acolytes just for deniability) indulge in via social media?
Duffy is a solid, unspectacular pro whose three decent seasons in the EPL should equip him comfortably for the SPFL.
His experience at Brighton (typically on the back foot against bigger clubs) could potentially help Celtic in Europe.
If he signs I’ll be happy.
If he doesn’t I’m Gloria Gaynor.
Next step – either signature or silence.
Hail hail

WBC. Someone posted that the flight was from Gatwick to Dundee & that Brighton have a pre season training camp at Dundee. Seems a strange choice of location but there you go.

Pentwater? No. I am in the SW – St. Joseph. Quite a few German descendants – walked in to local soccer club and could not help noticing Germany WC memorabilia all over.

Ah, OK. I used to travel up to Grand Rapids and then on up to coast. Did the UP once or twice. Nice part of the world.
If you pass through Kentucky drop me a line and I’ll take you to a bar with Celtic flags on the wall.

Turnbull undergoes medieval examination
We had better show respect to Ferencvaros or we could get a shock, this is a team who reached the 3rd qualifying round last season and fell into the Europa League group. They only lost one game in their group and beat CSKA Moscow in Moscow, they have now knocked the Swedish Champions out in the first qualifier. This isn’t a Red Imp or a Reykjavik, we have to be up for it.

Peter Lawwell still jousting with Duffy’s agent
If he’s going through a medieval then he’ll sign by tomorrow knight ⚔️

Thanks!
I don’t usually read his posts but that caught my eye.
Thought he was talking about a current player.
If Turnbull fails his Medieval again, will there be an Inquisition?
Space Exploration.
Ian Brown has had his head turned.
Yer Bro is Always threre Bro.
Duffy has a habit of hoofing the ball which I don’t like. But 90% of the games we play are against defensive blocks that don’t press. So he should be able to make a simple pass or two.
I’m not sure what he adds that Jullien doesn’t but I certainly would be happy with Duffy for the games against the zombies.
I trust in Neil Lennon.
Unless I am mistaken only three clubs became European Champions in Lisbon.
Celtic, Real Madrid and now Bayern Munich.
Thanks for update Lennybhoy. I think he will be an excellent addition to the current squad.
Anything on Duffy?
JIL HH
He’s failed his medieval as the scan picked up signs of Black Death.
Coneybhoy, apparently he’s part Spanish on his mother’s side (you know what’s coming) so would it be a Spanish Inquisition??

Apart from what’s out there, I am told there was movement yesterday, to what that means not be able to find out yet.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
DBBIA – very good.
If we are trying to sign Duffy in order to regularly play 3-5-2 then I’m all for it.

Thanks for the updates, your posts are the one (semi) legitimate reason I have for spending inordinate time on here!

Lennybhoy, thanks for update.
Hopefully Duffy signs too, just what we will need when playing against Sevco this season.
