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!!

Any spare tickets for Glasvegas tomorrow? Would love two for my son and I. Will be in the Kelvingrove area with or without ticket anyway.

God rest Mark Scott.
Never forget Devils like Brigtons Jason Campbell scum.
Personally I thought Broony & Mikael were acting a bit Hun like at final whistle against Quarabag.
However I’ve no idea what provocation went on during the games. At CP I would’ve booted N0. 10 up the arse. I couldn’t believe the “Erald actually ran an article on this today! Maybe I could.

On my fathers side, I think I have 54 cousins. I’ve only met 46 of them. I think.
Jeezo…Jamesgang and Delaneys dunkey..
Wit they like…And i get pulled up on my liking of the Glorious Ms Diamond Jackson……The Tims They Are A Changing…

Didn’t you kinda just answer your own question and contradict yourself there bud?
If they were hunning up then I’m glad Broonie riled the bassas right back.

You’re right I did.
But they weren’t the worst we’ve ever put up with. I loved SB noising up Diouff (sp?) Big Lustig is a future captain! Fitness allowing! He gets it!
GRAFFITIONTHEWALL @ 11:39,
Forgive my ignorance ,but do any of you actually live in Whinhall.
No GG who I’m sure can speak for himself is in the good aul USofA.
I left in the mid seventies to go England, Wycombe. Actually technically speaking I was at the Xavarians’ in Whifflet at the time.
As posted earlier, I was brought up in Burnfoot in those days, with the gang culture it was a bit hairy going through Whinhall. Also the ones the didn’t know you knew you didn’t go to their School – so you had to be a Tim.
No win situation. Didn’t do me any harm though.
Hail Hail
DD- Schihallion? Hill of the fairies! I’m sure you and Jamesgang will be well suited :-)

I thought I was bad with 56 1st cousins on both sides my oldest cousin had 12 sons. DD my one and only time wearing a kilt was at my daughters wedding her husband and all best men and ushers had blue kilts but mine was green. I told her I loved her enough to wear a kilt but a blue one was pushing it too far. Her husband thought it would be funny when old co beat us after a bit of referee help , my daughter found out and told him if he liked hospital food to try it again never talked football with me again.

All followers of the deid club are Huns, that’s not being bigoted by the way

There is no way on earth Celtic would be allowed to display the gold star on our Jersey if we’d died and reformed.
And yet the ultra arrogant huns get away with flaunting the five fag burns In the faces of 250 cheated, swindled and stiffed creditors.
——————————–
You misinterpret.
The OLD 5 fag burns represented one for each 10 Scottish titles they cheated their way to.
The NEW 5 fag burns – each commemorates 50 stiffed creditors.
Dignity ‘n ‘at, man.
Papa
Like your style. My view too. ;)

One of my many cousins lived in Duntocher for many years they were brought up in Maryhill road then went to Knightswood and then Yoker before marrying and moving to Clydebank . Season book holder in jock stein upper mid 60s he is now,but a diehard he has a big family you will probably know him or some of his sons
The mighty Celtiic are on the march. Defend like we did on Wednesday, keep possession and take our chances and we will be okay.

I didn’t live in Whinhall, but I had relatives who lived there, plus another from Wilson Street, which is more or less Whinhall.
If you lived there or still do you may know Googsy.
I used to live in Golfhill and attended St Andrews many moons ago.
Bmcuwp our manager has got us to this position. With good tactical nous and the support at CP he will take us to the CL.
