Celtic will play Malmo in the Champions League play-off round, the third time since 2012 they will face champions from Sweden. The main concern for Ronny Deila is the manner in which Malmo disposed of Salzburg 3-0 on Wednesday night, but there is context to put that into. In the previous round the Swedes only managed a 0-0 at home to Lithuanians Zalgiris Vilnius, before winning 0-1 away.
Those three goals against Salzburg, which arrived inside 45 minutes, will be the subject of a lot of research over the next few days.
In 2013 Celtic struggled to blow away the cobwebs against Elfsborg, recording a 1-0 home win and a 0-0 draw away. A year earlier they beat Helsingborgs 2-0 home and away.
The most encouraging aspect for Ronny will be Malmo’s domestic form. They are current 6th in the Allsvenskan after 18 games and will struggle to qualify for Europe next season. A home game against league leaders Gothenburg on Sunday will be Celtic’s most important reconnaissance exercise.
Oh, and put out the flags, Malmo play on grass!!

What a penalty miss by Thompson of St. Mirren. You might think he meant it????
Unbelievable penalty miss by ex hun Thomson!!!
overseasbhoy on 7th August 2015 9:07 pm Would we sell out a home game v st mirren ? – See more at: http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/form-vagaries-of-malmo-for-celtic/comment-page-9/#comments
no, but it’s not a big game to us
Hidden in plain sight Thompson..

It would have been eadier to score the penalty … Two yard run up and lean back ??
Only in Scotland !
I said he’d miss by ten fit, was only one out. Yev got to luv them.
Great tackle!
And now we’re being reminded that Britain never, ever, ever shall be slaves. Bless ’em…
What’s that game years ago where you push the guys head down and the ball shoots up in the air – that was the penalty
Thomson coming off …good ..worse than a man down
Wallace carted …sore one
Seen the penalty again he made no attempt to score.
Clogher: much preferred that video, ole Jim Allister was fair getting my blood boiling in the first one. Uneducated fool!
Thompson should stick to throwing training poles at team mates, he’s got a better strike rate.
HH
Not only that, but in what must have been an extraordinary sequence of co-incidences I now hear 30,000+ Govanites telling me that against all advice from the midwives, they chose to be born UNDER a Union Jack.

If our deed is insufficient to secure our freedom then our children will with a better deed. That prick on your previous link should be made to see that and that his unionist bigotry is unacceptable in this day and age. Thanks for all these great links you post sorry I can’t be with you in Dublin at the celebration but I will be there in spirit
Totally Embarrasing comments on here regarding Thompson missing a penalty…Grow up Ffs..i thought like that..Then i Turned 15…
Thomson gets standing ovation as hes subbed.By the jaffas btw
Leaving the local tonight four souped up sevconians were piling into their taxi to poundland. The most coherent-doesn’t mean much-told me they’d see us again next year in the top league. Impossible I said, you’ve never been in it!

Papajoe,

Great to read you are both coming home.
If I can help at all, please let me know.
Almore,
I know, but it makes Dublin 2016,all the more worthwhile.
HH,

ex Celts always seem to try harder against us – natural, i suppose.
Never seems to happen with them.
Plus, we miss penalties all the time unless it doesn’t matter when we’re 5-0 up or something. They never do.
Embarrassed by the Permanetly offended..Grow up..

What a crass comment.
I have not been told to grow up since about that age.
It is a juvenile comment indeed.
I know everyone, saw it myself and thought, how can our people live up there?
To be honest, I think they are really spooked by Easter 2016.
Their world is getting smaller.

Embarrassed by the Permanetly offended..Grow up..
BTW your comment does not offend me in the slightest.
It might have done at aged 14. Not now
Was the hun who crossed the ball not offside??
Scrappy goal Orcs…game over
Poor start from St Mirren ……dragged themselves back into the game …in large part owing to the efforts of McMullan …shocking pen miss from Thomson …who did F all all night
Orcs deserve their win ….they’re a long way from being good …better than last season tho
So a Pro footballer, on the FIRST league game of the season misses a pen against a team he ONCE played for..if it was Any other team it wouldnt be noticed on cqn…Think About It…Then Go grab your comfort blanket..The song Goes…No one likes Us…You know the rest…Pathetic..
BGX…
In all honestly was that an attempt to score or appease a home crowd?
Why do you think he got hooked?
War burton is a good manager.
They look miles improved. Some fantastic interplay and movement.
Defensively they take risks and would be found out against better opposition but he has them playing great stuff with pretty limited footballers.
