Fraser Forster has missed the last two games with a neck injury, which Neil Lennon suggested could have been sustained as a result of sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow in Spain last week. Fraser has been treated by a chiropractor but it might be a few games before he is back between the posts.
This is a known phenomenon. As well as bikes, spare tyres and pumps the GB Olympic cycling team make sure that each cyclist brings their own orthopaedic pillow on each journey. Olympic cyclists, like professional footballers, are finely tuned athletes who stress their bodies each day. Muscles are continually bashed and stretched making their bodies especially vulnerable a whole range of ailments.
The GB Olympic cycle team also used heated trousers. To be best of my knowledge velodromes are not particularly cold but as much as any type of athlete, cyclists require their leg muscles to go from rest to full throttle in an instant. Warm muscles are less prone to hamstring, calf, rolled ankle and ligament damage.
Did all this fine tuning get them anywhere? GB cyclists won 7 out of 10 gold medals available to them, so they are doing something right. Jock Stein was the first British manager to take food with the team when they played away in Europe, soon everyone was doing it. The need to find ways of ensuring Celtic are as well prepared as possible for every training session and game remains just as important.
Orthopaedic pillows and 20 minutes in heated trousers before warm-up would cost less than £1000. They would support neck muscles and potentially reduce our horrendous muscle-injury record. Best practice suggests we look into this.

Fifty-fifty chance. Depends on us not conceding a goal at Celtic Park.
theweegreenman
If we dont concede at home ,we will qualify

Que sera sera….

Aye ur naw…….
The Weegreenman
Difficult one – but I am more confident than I was prior to our previous last 16 with Milan and Barca.
theweegreenman
An emphatic No, most likely a glorious failure. Nothing to do with any weakness on our part, just think Juventus will be too strong for us over the 2 legs.
I am sure our background team are aware of various stresses possible to body.A stiff neck is not because of pillows actually plane journeys are a bigger cause. BUT it is not a 2 week injury. A strain, in training, is most likely cause or resting on a sun bed.
Heart says yes
Head says no
BobbyM
Aye, not much you can say about that
Personally
I think we will do them at CP. Hopeful of a draw in Turin.
On paper we will lose. But I am not writing on paper so : Hell Yes.
THE EXILED TIM
I’ve forwarded it to a few friends.
Even ny Mum said what’s up when she saw my face as I read it………
I didn’t show her the content though,couldnae.
There’s still quite a bit of water to flow under the bridge before we play Juventus, too much to forecast the result.
Will we still have Hooper ? will they have Lorente ? Could Rogic hit the ground running and make a difference ?

“Aye ur naw…….”
Aye. We’ll reach the last eight.
theweegreenman
Yes we will
theweegreenman
Yes I say!
Could be on away goals – 1-0 at home 1-2 away!
All my Italian friends who hate Juve hope we p*mp them!
HH!!
If we can marry the defensive parsimony of the Barca win with the clinical attacking of the Spartak away leg we will make the semis.
Will we qualify against Juventus? Probably not.
Can we qualify? Definitely.
Weegreenman
YES YES YES and once again YES.
BobbyM
No many things shock me, but that did., I sent it to a fair few on the blog as well.
Things like that really need to be told IMO
What does Bob think?
YES WE CAN
Evening pop pickers….

Think we need to score 2 at CP to have a better than even chance.
Juve score an average of 2 goals per game and have only conceded 14 in 21 league games – the longer we hold out 2nd leg – the more their crowd will get on their backs.
Doable but think we will need to score away goal(s).
The SFL have issued a statement saying that for the remainder of the season, Sevco’s opponents will start the game with 10 men.
This will make for a considerable saving in SFL administrative costs.
I only found myself there once….even if one of the edifices was icoic instead of iconic!

Is it Chuck Greens ivory tower?
Tet.
Feel a bit left out here,what’s going down?
…..can’t wait to see how this interesting new character unfolds……….
Ole Lance Armstrong didn’t need heated trouser on account of his pants being on fire all along…
I have absolutely no idea estadio, nice architecture though.

It is a shocking picture and a terrible indictment on our press for not printing the truth about what is happening.

The Burns monument/memorial (?) in Mauchline in deepest East Ayrshire perhaps?

Me too, what’s going down if you don’t mind me asking?

I say brace ourselves for a big bid for Fraser Forster !
