Fragile limbs

674

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.

  5. We definitely deserved the draw. Real winner probably Scotland but the draw keeps us in it.

    Was a cracking night at the Kano Foundation do. An arena packed full of good yins. Oor Sannabhoy and his pals are a credit to our club. Met a few Green Brigade bhoys last night who are doing ‘invisible’ good things in oor community.

     

    The Celtic family is very healthy.

    As both are very close to his heart, I think you are being Conservative in your estimate. :P

    Neither Scoland, Poland nor Ireland showed the same level of intensity , speed of closing or pressing game that Celtic now show every week.

     

     

    We have come a long way this season.

  11. Great finish by Ireland. Really thought they were going to grab a last gasp winner.

     

     

    Group really is wide open now.

     

     

    The June fixtures will be an exciting end to the season after we celebrate the Ronny treble.

    Happy enough with today’s results, Long’s late goal was better news for me than it was for Bet365 as it gave me a nice wee treble.

     

    Having said that, great to get the International break over and roll on Paisley on Friday night as we get back to league business. Have just noticed we have ICT on back to back weekends in April, am sure they will go the same way as Dundee Utd did in March.

    He and Quinn were present for both games, Petec

    My four children betted 1-1 too, on my advice. Happy night and my Polish and Irish relatives are both happy. Beautiful Day!

  15. A bit of a blood and snotters game. Ireland deserved at least a point. What a qualifying group. Hope to be at the next game in Dublin……..supporting Scotland btw.

     

     

    Loved the Kano video. Made me realise that, apart from the odd few quid in a collection bucket before a game, I’ve done nothing to support the foundation. The video has inspired me to change that.

    21:47 on 29 March, 2015Would McClean do a job for Ronny ?

     

     

    The SMSM would have a field day with him……

  17. Thankfully we’re now back to focussing on Celtic.

     

     

    Our record at new St Mirren Park hasn’t been the best and it’s often a difficult game.

     

     

    A huge task ahead on Friday.
