I am sure we will see a full strength Celtic team against Inter Milan tomorrow but that doesn’t mean Celtic will be able to overturn their summer form against what will be the best squad of players they have met since facing the same team in the Dublin Cup almost exactly a year ago. Inter will be formidable opponents.
The experimentation of recent weeks will be set aside as Neil Lennon prepares for next week’s enormously important Champions League qualifying game against HJK Helsinki. In particular, we are likely to see a more familiar looking back four and midfield. What happens up front remains to be seen. Celtic have struggled to get into scoring form preseason; the manager will be keen to resolve this, if possible.
Most of all we need a 90 minutes free of elbows in the face and other injuries as the real stuff is only five days away.

Should players not be reg in advance by x days before a cup competition. Unsure of cup rules.

you may be right but if they dont then they can kiss goodbye to FFP which is why I tried to get Alan Thomson interested in talking to the ECA.
I think that the SFA may well get its bum felt by platini.

is more Frankie Boyle than Danny Boyle.

what they call themselves is a massive issue, they cannot be rangers because rangers are still in existance, if they want to be rangers they can pay everything they owe, its simple.
beleive me the oldco fans care and as a fan cheated by oldco, i care, what they are called and what they claim to have done. oldco are dead the history of oldco goes with them and the sfa/spl should have told them that in the eyes of football they had won nothing and have nothing to lose. newco came into being in 2012, they cannot therefore claim to have won anything predating that time, is it that hard, ask any accountant and they will tell you a business is viewed as a living entity i.e. it lives and it dies once it is dead it is dead
rangers are dead, dead, dead
Bowie saves the day.

I want the history ending at the same time as they are liquidated, and a new one starting with the new club.
Maybe by listening to them at work etc., I get a sense of what is really important for them. If you take the history away from the new club, it will die for sure.

“No one is denying that Rangers were badly mismanaged for 10 months. Nor are we disputing that we should be punished for that. We have been. We accept that punishment and want to start putting the past behind us and move forward.”
Yeah it was only the last 10 months, everything before then was squeaky clean and hunky dory.

geez another clue.
Not surprised, they’ve been selling tickets for the Brechin game for weeks and this was their passport back in Div 3 with which they were publicly delighted, and i’m sure it was privately guaranteed, barring legal/illegal formalities, of this week.
Celtic influence on the eventual outcome of the EBT charges will remain very private, moderates Celts will say GIRUY in Div 3, radicals might see they’ve cheated extinction again.
Paul67 will probably open tomorrow with the EBT scandal remains on the table and Sevco needs to carry the can.
The struggle goes on.
Jeez, I thought that McOist statement was a wind up!!!

Lads please forget about their history it’s gone and everyone knows it.
Please don’t even mention it because any honest individual knows the history dies when company dies and if we keep going on about it they will know its annoying us.
Just read McCoist’s statement.
He really is incredibly ignorant and blinkered. I’d love to meet these ‘Celtic supporters’ that he bumps into.

Am I right in thinking the games were awarded to London the day of the Madrid terrorist attacks? Does anyone else remember?

PFayr,
The Celtic that I grew up supporting would have made their feelings known by now.
Kelly would have called them out by now and for the first time in my 60 odd years supporting Celtic, I await the new season with a complete lack of enthusiasm.
The game has died.
PS.
Don’t be drawn into a slagging match with reynard.
These people obviously have no shame or remorse, damn them to hell, Sally the pie man , shut up you are really beginning to sound silly now!
CRC – you win! YOur toughest ever ‘hoops am I’ round. Well done and enjoy the applause!
Answer indeed is Paul Byrne
