A quick check of the fixture list reveals that St Mirren are the first scheduled visitors to Celtic Park after 10 August, the date Clinical Director, Jason Leitch, said he hopes to allow capacity crowds into football stadiums. St Mirren were the last visitors to play in front of supporters at Celtic Park, on 7 March 2020, which will be satisfying, for those who like their fixtures with a bit of symmetry.
Olivier Ntcham’s hopes to earn a rewarding contract appear to hinge on Celtic providing the player with a free transfer, one year before the end of his current agreement. Deals like this were once regarded as rewards for players who gave the bulk of their career to a club. Subsidising Olivier’s potential wages from AEK would be an extraordinarily generous move by Celtic.
The player really needs some football next season, if not, he will be 26 when his contract expires, having played very little football for two years. I would rather pay him to remain the squad (with strict instructions to stay out of the Celtic penalty box) than lose him for free.
It’s great to see reports of talented young players on their way to Celtic, but we all know the script when it comes to transfers. Confirmative press stories mean nothing, just ask Celtic boss, Eddie Howe. If a player is on Celtic’s radar, he will be on a few others.
Speaking of Howe, his phone will have gone a bit quiet since four weeks ago. He rejected Celtic within a day of Real Madrid sounding out their new boss, Carlo Ancelotti, then manager of his boyhood club, Everton. Everton and Crystal Palace are both trying hard to appoint a manager who is not Howe, although he remains on both clubs’ lists. Southampton and Newcastle retained their managers, against earlier expectations.
Shay Logan, weeks after posting the message, “You can’t polish a turd” below a photo of Scott Brown in an Aberdeen shirt, was arrested and charged with an offence under the Proceeds of Crime Act. He remains as classy as ever.

🤣😂 just think what a french Swalex would say …….

But yes response from google might to be what you want in your internet history….😉
Its been some game – the Swiss player who tried to play on when he was halfed by the French defender was rightly awarded the Penalty via VAR.
The player allowed to miss 3 penalties in a row was definitely an error of judgement. France take total control and play the best fitba of the Tournie so far and are soon 2 goals ahead and Cruising into the 1/4s.
Respect the player who started all this! with his honest play.
Superb game. The earlier one was good but this has beat it for me.
No criticism from me for anything I have watched today.An absolute feast for the eyes.
Anyone think these games would have been as remotely entertaining in empty stadiums? The atmosphere at both games has been brilliant. Lifting the players, driving them on.
And how did the Swiss become so good at football? Tremendous team.
Whichever Ref we sent to S America,in the swap deal,does not matter.Europe got the better deal..
Brilliant refereeing.
TET,
Great call,shocking from the Bookmaker.
Even after all these years Andy still capable of putting us through the wringer
A Pogba masterclass in passing.
TB
Yip, it’s all about making the muney
Three minutes then penalties.
Think the Swiss might just do it.
Brilliant Switzerland, beating the world champs!!!!
Merde!
Main overall bet done, Italy now my team.
Full credit to the Swiss!
Great for the Neutral…..#irony 😉
Well done Switzerland, last time they were in a quarter final of any major tourney happened only three years before Celtic walloped Der Hun 7-1 in the League Cup Final in 1957.
Well done Switzerland.and Spain earlier.
splendid football on show.

Even after all these years Andy still capable of putting us through the wringer.
have you ever seen him go thro airport security.that new metal hips beeps lol
Great to see him back,i will enjoy seeing him play as a bonus now.He has scaled his everest with his 2 wimbledons. so hope he goes far as that is his drive.
hope your good,have you heard from ot67?
need to catch up wi him

I’m surprised that Clive Tyldesley and McCoist didn’t seem to know that when Thuram stepped up to take his penalty, he as facing his club teammate, Yann Sommer, at Monchengladbach.
What a game. Well done Switzerland 🇨🇭👏⚽️
Has anyone noticed how often McCoist says ‘it really is’ after he makes a statement. “That’s a great shot. It really is.” I’ve decided to start counting them from next game.

You have an unhealthy interest in McCoist. Unless you are his ex wife’s gardener, stop it.
I think france might be wondering why they never took dembele

Andy had the alarm bells ringing after the third set, and that was without the metal detectors!
Haven’t heard directly from the aul bassa OldTim67, but from what I do hear he is still self isolating despite being double vaxxed. Might be holding up in that Green Hoose of his. Well at this end, and now seeing the real possibility of seeing the Celts up close not too far from now. Was there when we played the Saints last March, so looking forward to that if all goes well. Hope all is well with you et al, maybe get to meet up soon.
Hail Hail

Edouard and Dembele up front would have torn the Swiss a new one. France looked knackered in the main tonight. Young blood will win this tourney.
Great football today and the golf sudden death yesterday wasn’t bad either.
Hello again all you young rebels.
From a frosty Melbourne morning, long time since I’ve seen that.
But 16 degs and sunny later so not bad for a winters morning.
Victoria Covid free at the moment but borders closed to all other
states as the Delta variant has sneaked into them.
Good to see a bit of positivity on the blog re Big Ange, think he
might surprise a few people given a bit of time, will he get it ? I sure
hope so.
Meanwhile hope everyone is safe and well.

……………………………………………………………..
Let me guess, Bet365.
Scum is utter Scum.
I’d rather not have that option – if it gets taken away or suspended whenever it suits em.
Try telling a Gambler to boycott. It’s another Addiction. At least the Celtic one is Good.
Missed the Spain-Croatia game today and only caught France-Switzerland from 3-1.
Both sounded like crackers.
Heard from a reasonable-ish source today that Clive Tyldesley is quietly being paid a bonus of £1k by Sevco for every live ITV commentary during which he mentions them.
Got me thinking – has he actually done a game so far during which he HASN’T done so?
Shocking betrayal of neutral journalism if true but unlikely we’ll ever know.
Gutter media types rarely investigate their peers.
I suppose if Sevco issue 30,000 new shares in the near future that would suggest something.
Hhmm.
Melbourne Mick,
I think most of the Support know we are unlikely to win the SPL next Season because of the state we are Apparently in.
I Hope Dominic gives Ange Free Range to get Celtic Rocking Europe with true underdog Spirit. Not this Season though – only a miracle worker could Phatts&Small this turnaround necessary so quickly.
The whole Fenian Army is with you Ange.

It’s a big ask to turn a shambles about in one season, will our
fans give hime time ?????
And…and… will the board back him ????

Sorry B- don’t think I do
Melbourne Mick,
We will see soon enough…. on both fronts.
The refereeing has been top notch at this tournie. VAR has been quick and decisive, not one Controversial two. ;)

After a promising engagement with the CEO last week …
…. I am personally quite disappointed that some outlets in Celtic cyberspace have chosen to run with the reaction to the event by a totally discredited hack.
The fact they are reacting to him? Mission accomplished.
One website in particular frequently publishes articles with a, frankly, repetitive theme viz …..
“Isn’t it terrible what such-and-such is saying about Celtic”
Yawn.
No. It’s not terrible. It’s entirely predictable.
Deny them the oxygen they need to survive instead of rehashing their drivel.
We all know what stance these hacks will take long before they’ve opened their mouths.
The hack in question is banned from Celtic Park.
He supports Sevco.
His crass observation about Covid-19 tells me everything I need to know about his intellect, perception and judgement.
Most effective way of dealing with attention seeking morons?
Ignore them.

Always faith in our hearts mhate.
