Bayern Munich left Glasgow with three points, but that was two more than they deserved. The game was decided on a 22nd minute lapse. Dedryk Boyata should have headed but allowed the ball to bounce behind him. This is the kind of mistake which primary school kids are shouted out for. From that moment, Coman was clear through on Craig Gordon, who made the mistake of coming out of his box in the vain hope of reaching the ball before the French international striker. That aside, Celtic were excellent and deserved a point for their efforts.
As with the corresponding game in Munich, this was a game for James Forrest, not Patrick Roberts, so I was pleased Brendan Rodgers’ hand was forced with the injury to Patrick. James was outstanding. He regularly drew three defenders, kept his head up in possession, and created the chance which allowed Callum McGregor to convert.
Watch James again at the goal. He played the magicians’ trick: “Look over here, watch me.” Every Bayern Munich player was focused on him before he pulled a rabbit out of the hat, it was a thing of beauty. Wing play is difficult, although it seems it is more difficult for some to understand it, than it is to play there. I enjoyed watching Arjen Robben, but James was the more productive winger last night.
Screeds have been written about a momentary lapse by Nir Bitton at Firhill, which cost Celtic nothing. Last night, under the most intense pressure, the player grew in stature in the central defensive position. I heard “What are you doing?” as he chased down a loose ball in the Bayern right back position a moment before the Celtic goal, but without that, or his build-up play which led to the goal, we would not have drawn level.
It is also worth recording that Celtic still had the option to make a substitution when Nir received a head injury which resulted in several minutes treatment and the application of a substantial bandage. If his appetite for a scrap was in question (you know what I mean), he would have left the field at that moment.
I was getting frustrated for Callum McGregor, who constantly showed for the ball, but in the central role he started the game, seldom received it. It was a brave move for Brendan to hook Scott Sinclair and push Callum wide, although Scott was clearly below his best, but this change was pivotal in getting Celtic level. The aforementioned build up play from Bitton, the run and delicious dink from Forrest, cut Bayern open. In true Halloween fashion, Callum wasted no time in burying ghosts of past German encounters.
Scott Brown was imperious, while Stuart Armstrong will still be replaying his early chance to open the scoring over in his mind, he can be satisfied with his performance. Lustig and Tierney put in mature and energetic efforts.
Moussa Dembele had little scope to shine; an early left foot effort which he didn’t connect with cleanly was the sum total of his genuine opportunities. Celtic wisely put numbers in defence and midfield, leaving the striker isolated.
A word about Dedryk. He dropped on his knee on the final whistle, no doubt feeling the pain of his earlier mistake. You and I have been watching football long enough to know this is part of the game. Big Billy shared a couple of similar memories with me, which he carried like old wounds. Dedryk has recovered from darker places during his time at Celtic and can use the hurt from last night against PSG, and when his countrymen visit on match day 6. It was an infuriating moment, but he is a player unrecognisable from the Dedryk we lamented in Molde.
There is so much to be positive about. On similar form, we will destroy Anderlecht and no one will fancy coming to Celtic Park in the Europa League. So what do you have to worry about? We’ll talk about that tomorrow.

Tully achieved this feat again in 1953, not once but twice against Falkirk in a Scottish Cup tie at Brockville. Tully took a corner for Celtic and swung the ball directly into the net. The referee, presuming that the ball must have been placed outwith the arc, instructed Tully to retake the corner. Tully did so with the same result, swinging the ball into the net directly from the corner.
Thanks for putting up that information re CPT , re my conversion from being a Falkirk Supporter to a Celtic Supporter,I thought I was twelve when I was at that game,but you have enlightened me, I was thirteen when I converted to Celticism. that day and ever since I have supported Celtic,Thank you Charlie
And by the way when Charlie took the first kick there was a cops cape which they wore in those days was lying about two feet away from the corner flag, and CT put it about 6ft away from the corner only for the cop to try and put it back to where it was typical hun trying to put Charlie of his kick,they had a wee chat and agreed about ft would do.It didn’t put Charlie of, to win against a cop and putting the ball in the net for another hun ‘the referee’ to knock the goal off and Charlie had to take it again and we all know what happened, yes, Charlie scored again.
A thirteen year old boy watching that, CT having a debate with a silly cop,then scoring twice at a corner converted me immediately, I was a very lucky Bhoy to be at that game and to be converted by a two minute wait on a corner being taken.
It’s not just being converted by Charlie Tully, I think about my life now, Coming into Glasgow for the football, but all the friends that I have met from all over the World.
Thanks CT & CQN, you’ve made me a happy Bhoy.

I would think that list relates to Rangers FC (dead). The football debts would have been paid by the new club/company (Sevco) in order to get a licence by the Strong Rangers Association to play football.
My point is – how do we actually KNOW the football debts were paid? Particularly the non-Scottish ones?
Did the Strong Rangers Association write to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City? Or did they just ask Charlie and he said yes?
I’m not suggesting they weren’t paid. I’m just wondering how do we know they were. What was the process?
Maybe they could be transparent and publish the correspondence, as with the recent exchanges with Celtic…..

The Brite Bulb, Bishopbriggs £3,209.64 – couldn’t have been that ‘brite’ or they wouldn’t have dealt with the huns.
Just completed jury duty, a four week fraud trial where the accused (now convicted) wound up one company and opened a new one with same name except for the bit in brackets.
The defence lawyer remarked “and of course we all know you can’t just start up a new company and transfer everything over to the new company can you? Except if you are Glasgow Rangers FC”.
Caused a chuckle among the jury. Not least because his client was a supporter of said teams (as evidenced by money coming out of the company to pay for RFC tickets).

I would think whether the debt was paid by the new club or the dead one ,if the list published today was an up to date one .
The football clubs would not be listed as they would no longer be creditors .
Also why ,if they are the same club ,in the same stadium, sitting on the same seats ,watching the same teams players .
are the debenture holders creditors to the tune of nearly £8m
Just booked my Hotel room for the Christmas bash on the 8th of December,another of my favourite day’s with CQN buddies.

a long-term security yielding a fixed rate of interest, issued by a company and secured against assets.

“A great orgasm of almost 60,000 Scottish throats.” – Germany’s Bild reporting the crowd’s response to Callum’s equaliser.
That has to be right up there with that Russian guy a few years ago – Spartak Moscow was it? – describing his defence: ‘We were a brothel at the back’.
I think this may have been translated too literally, for a great orgasm, I think it should have been translated as a coming together.

The fella you refer to is indeed a legend,and of an age with my Dad.
Whose all-time hero is also Charles Patrick.
Hard to argue with either of them about their memories of Celtic,mine are good and long,but theirs are a darn sight longer!
I’d say that he is worthy of his status amongst the Celtic Greats just on those recommendations alone!!
Auldheid
Thanks, I wonder if anything will be said by the board at the AGM about the CO investigating the licence in 2011, dont see anything on the Agenda maybe an AOB item,I would like to know how long this is going to take, he has the information, maybe the board will also say something on the EBT abuses that cost Celtic opportunities for titles revenue and participating in European competitions and where this is going as the SFA/SPFL refuse to review these. Maybe I am prone to wishful thinking.
FergusSlayedTheBlues
You could be right. Not an expert on this stuff.
Could the liquidators just remove the debt just because someone else paid it independently? Don’t know.
As I said, the Strong Rangers Association could surely show the evidence of the payments if they really are transparent?
Oldtim
My late dad loved Charlie Tully too. My dad would have been 18 that day at Brockville. That and 7-1 game in ’57, were his main talking points of Celtic in the ’50s.
Great post D.
SUPERSUTTON 1944
Outstanding comment from the highly-paid professional. Didnae miss,did he?
I would think that such a case would be widely reported in the press-you know,fraudster systematically ripping off the public and the public purse into the bargain. These things used to be quite a regular feature in the news pages.
Very strange that there has not been one report of a Phoenix company being done in court in the last,say,five years.

Thanks for posting that. Whilst I have genuine sympathy for the companies and people who were left high and dry by Rangers liquidation, and who are about to have insult added to their injury with a 4p in the pound settlement, I find reading that list, somehow therapeutic.
It really brings home the genuine distress suffered by so many people and so many small businesses. Real distress that cheapens even further, the tawdry behaviour of everyone involved in the attempt to reanimate the Sevco corpse. You expect nothing better from legal firms (sorry MIT) and the assorted spivs who have torn flesh from the corpse, but we have a right to expect better from the individuals charged with fair governance of our National game.
Reagan, Doncaster et al, hang your heads in shame.

Would those employees you mention have done what they did if they knew the clubs were not having it and demanded that this new club is just that a new club , no titles and now has 5 yrs history. This was not done and placemen awarded the titles and the history to Sevco, corrupt and fraudulent.
Ive forgotten – why did the liquidators not sell their real estate .?
Stadium -carpark – training ground.
That would have helped the poor ripped-off creditors a bit.
