The overwhelming request from an international break is that our players return injury-free. Nir Bitton made an appearance as a second half substitute against Wales last night but left the field 18 minutes later, with a foot injury.
Nir is in the best form of his life and has carved himself out a deep-lying creative role in the Celtic team. Central midfield roles don’t come up for grabs too often. Two of our strongest players, Scott Brown and Stefan Johansen, compete for a small number of central midfield jerseys, although they are different types of players, so it’s important our Nir doesn’t spend too long on the side-lines.
Fraser Forster’s terrible knee injury last weekend was sickening. The big guy is one of the most professional players in the game and is absolutely dedicated to his development. His form in the FA Premier League this season has been sensational, recording more shutouts than any other keeper.
It’s a blow to Southampton too, who gave Celtic £10m for Fraser’s services seven months ago.

Head to head not goal diff
Brady final ball rotten.
DD – Poland
DD…
The huns have no other team to support…bar their pub team ;)))
Ireland playing quite well now. Why didn’t we start like this.
DD nightmare for you:). Great pressure from Ireland. Hope it comes to something

Sounds like MO’N’s side is similar to hs previous ones. The Irish golden age has gone.
Delaney. Excellent point about pricing. Got mates from all over the place who would want to watch Celtic but the total cost is prohibitive.
Is MCcarthy playing? Liam Brady isn’t impressed by his commitment.
Why the fk did we not play like this from the off

Ireland 10-8 ahead on attempts but nae coconut.
HT, 100% agreement from me.
Pricing at a realistic level, 3pm kick off, crowds will go up.
Long winter break too, football at Christmas through to late February is dismal fare, cold wet and miserable. Not the weather to attract crowds.

Yep flights are expensive.
Ireland building a bit of momentum now, deserve to be level
Time running out. Deserve a point at this stage.
Oh Seamus
Ah bloody Hell
Oh dear Seamus Coleman
Sometimes you get the feeling that you could play all night and never score………..
McClean been much more productive for Ireland than ‘ wee Aiden ‘
7 minutes to go, time for the long ball.
Before 2002, Ireland used to punt the ball up the park. Do they now Euro it?
Lots of flares let off at Ireland game. I wonder????

If your parents are first cousins you tend to look inwards and become The Peepul.
Coleman has been awful ever since I put him in my fantasy football team :o)
Stupid Mc Carthy

McLean and Aidan have had better games than Brady and Hoolahan
Cracking song for The Kano Foundation, well done ghuys!! Heard it last night, fantastic!

Poland had just one real chance in the 90 minutes.
That Hoolahan is making mistakes all over the place
I just had a look at the tables of each qualifying group. Wales and Northern Ireland will probably qualify while both the Republic and Scotland could easily miss out. I really wouldn’t enjoy that scenario!
Agree – Brady’s crossing has let him down , Hoolahan get caught in possession too much.
Thought Aiden started brightly enough but didn’t create too much, was unlucky just before half time
Goooooaaaallll….!!!!
Long 1
GGGGOOOOOAAAAALLLLLKL
Goal!
Group wide open again!
CCCCCCCCúuúúúllllllllllllll
Long time coming…
Good result now for Scotland
