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!!

It looks like Whinhall residents and St Andrews parishioners are making a power grab for CQN tonight.

It depends what you mean by” progress”
Sometimes wishy washy is not so bad.
Extremes and zealots scare me. Compromise is always good.

On the earlier question of who is a hun and who is not;

That pretty much accords with my sentiments and definition too.

I have been to several Scottish weddings and always wore a kilt
Jamesgang..
Just how i feel mate…Embarressed…Just my Thoughts..
DD…
The kilts magic, wore it on many occasions, yerself being hung like a Delaneys Donky should have no issues :)
The huns – a lumpen, drain blockage of backward bigotry.
If they wanted to help thumsels they’ve had a hundred
years.
What’s keeping thum?

No need for anyone to be ashamed on either side. As long as they voted for honourable reasons.
It will happen though. Thatcher’s most significant legacy. That tickles me.
HH jamesgang
And I’m sure you’d be made so very welcome.
As long as you don’t wear your blue Stephen Thomson tap!!!
;-)

I’d go along with that.
Glorious balance sheet
Good post.

I only have Gdansk and Sligo blood in me. I will feel like a fake Jock in a skirt, giving my daughter away to a Catholic in a Rangers tartan skirt.
Huns.
Ra lot of them.
Well, that’s my bhoy got in…magic.
Any Celtic hater,
Catholic hater,
Irish hater,
Immigrant hater,

Shocking revelations tonight.

Seth Roth,
Self indulgent pish.
That’s what Sinatra gets for playing Ibrox.
DD…
It’s imaterial what that boy wears, they chose each other and if they are happy that’s all that matters.
Just make sure you get the wee man the hoops first.;)
Anyway off to bed.
The plan is to e mail everyone tomorrow, with dates, times etc.
Don’t want anyone coming back and saying they heard nothing.

GG @ 11:08,
“It looks like Whinhall residents and St Andrews parishioners are making a power grab for CQN tonight.”
Well my many a relative of mine lived in Whinhall, but as a ghuy from Burnfoot, if I made it from one end to Coatdyke, I felt like John Wayne as he emerged from Apache Country.
But certainly from the same School and Parish, Altar Boy an all.
Think I remember you went to St Pats with my cousin. You’re Coatbridge though???
BTW: On the first page of the last Blog, Mort posted a link to CQN 2005 – Think a couple of Gavil Ghuy’s posts were there.
If you’re into that self-indulgent, narcissistic kind of thing.
Hail Hail
Stivs
Aye, agree re bbc4
Even the mad juice doesn’t make is entertainment
Eddie
Surely you mean in your opinion…
In my opinion regardless of colour or creed if you played for or supported Rangers you were a Hun.
Why is that sectarian.
Your definition is more sectarian in my view.
My mates a good Hun but he’s still a Hun and he knows it. Couldn’t care less what religion he is or isn’t for that matter.
I haven’t considered yet whether the new Sevconia are Huns yet as I don’t see them as the same club. But considering it is the same supporters pretending then I suppose they are Huns.
I look at a picture of Huns and see Huns. When you look at a picture of Huns what do you see? How do you determine a him from a non Hun.
MWD said AYE
WITS: I went to a political debate one time and one of the speakers said that “politics is the art of compromise”. That had a profound effect on me. No matter how strong your own views are on particular issues, you must acknowledge those of an opposite view point. So yeah, wishy washy works sometimes. Other times, you have to remain faithful to your core beliefs.
Cloghercelt posted a link earlier to a BBC debate where Jim Allister of the TUV rejected the idea of a bank holiday in the North to celebrate the 1916 Easter Rising. His views and those of Sammy Wilson (I think) were hardly surprising but the audience reaction was interesting. People in the North seem to be coming around to the idea of ‘agreeing to disagree’
Meant to say…..
If you’re into that self-indulgent, nostalgic kind of thing.
Narcissistic? Well that’s one for my shrink.
Hail Hail
WITs,
Hope to see you there. I have a few emails asking for you to show the lhads around Glasnevin etc. you are very popular.

BT,
People paid money to watch that, ffs.
Why do orchestra s need a conductor.
Clogher
I will bring them to the grave diggers pub
Dim Awistur…….?
…..guid grief!
The Twadishunal Voice Of A Hun.

Re Allister and his ilk
I wouldn’t expect anything else from them,
Next year will be difficult for them. Irishness will be celebrated everywhere except in the “besieged”loyalist enclaves of norn iron
Chairbhoy /GG
Forgive my ignorance ,but do any of you actually live in Whinhall ?
WITs,
The lads are coming your way!
WHAT IS THE STARS on 7TH AUGUST 2015 11:33 PM

Nicola is my favourite wee cousin out of the 32. 31 Tim young cousins. One buddy. Every family has one pure beautiful rebel. Hahaha
Butsybhoy
Yes it’s a fab pub
Do you live in Dublin
WITS: Couldn’t agree more. Cloghercelt is right, you should get involved. 2016 will be an exceptional opportunity to re-promote the core values of the Irish Republic envisaged by the Easter proclamation.
