There are frustrations for what could have been. Leipzig did not have us under great pressure at any time in the game, but concentration dropped for three minutes, which settled the outcome.
I initially blamed Dedryck for the opening goal, but on second viewing, the incident was more nuanced. Eboue Kouassi almost got a touch on the ball, meaning Dedryck waited on the second ball instead of attacking the cross. Eboue himself only reacted when the Leipzig attacker nearest the right wing failed to get a touch on the ball.
Cristian Gamboa went to ground and didn’t get near the ball for the cross leading to the second goal. Unforgiveable, but we are parachuting a player into a high level of football when his annual game time is measured in dozens of minutes.
Despite defeats in Germany and Austria, Celtic are not out of contention. Leipzig are nowhere near as good as Salzburg. We have beaten better teams than them at a packed Celtic Park. Get a win next time out, or even a draw, and the remaining fixtures favour us.
By the time we go to Trondheim, Rosenborg will be out of the tournament. Salzburg end the group at Celtic Park, when they will have already have top spot confirmed, and want to avoid injuries, suspensions and hopefully be keen to give experience to squad players.
I have spoken highly of Jozo for years, but the sight of him leaving the field on a stretcher after going down holding his ankle confirmed any remaining doubt about how appropriate his physical frame is for competitive sport.
Was Brendan resting players with an eye on Sunday? It looks like it. Mikael made an appearance from the bench, while Filip Benkovic was also fit enough for the bench. If these two only have one game in them this week, the semi-final at Murrayfield is the wise choice.

In no particular order and if I missed any please let me know:
Ajer
Simonovic
Benkovitch
Brown
Johnson
Mulumbu
Griff
Comperr the season ticket of injurys
Rogic
I am sure I have forgot a few, butt ffs that is nearly 11players a full feckin team out injured.
We must be doing something wrong at training, if players are picking up injurys at training or on the field of play. We cannot have that many players who are so easily injured that when they train of play they are out for a while. It must be either they are not fit to begin with or our training regime…. Surely.
D. :)
David 66
Not so sure it’s the training. The muscle injuries pre-dates Ronnie’s time. Pretty sure NFL was plagued by sililar to his squad.
All had their own coaches, presumably all had different approaches.
Only one constant, Lennoxtown. Very exposed site, but the surface is soft.
Papa and Grandma overnight duties there with our own wee gorgeous Gift from God, Maria Rose. Up since 6.45 and not a minute for CQN until now. Priorities! Anyway, a beautiful dry, crisp, clear skied morning in East Kilbride with just 1 more sleep until we get to see The Champions attempt to maintain Brendan’s 100% record in domestic competitions.
CQN Coupon picks to follow along shortly…
Gerry thats really helpful. If you get the chance try and repost that had considered getting the train from the east end tomorrow and I’m sure lots wont be aware of that closure.
Today’s CQN Coupon –
AWALKACROSSTHEROOFTOPS – St. Johnstone

Bet modestly or not at all!
Good morning CQN from a crisp and sunny Hamburg. Heading to the airport soon and back for tomorrow’s game. I spent yesterday chilling after 3 days on the lash.
My summary of Thursday’s game – The more things change the more they remain the same.
BCW- I know it’s not a new thing with the injurys and it does seem to be since we moved up to lenoxtown.
Probably also because we have such a big squad of players then the odds are we will have more injured to someone like Murderwell, who might have a quad of say 20 players compared to our 30.
I just wish Brendan was able to field his first team picks on a regular basis, to achieve some consistency.
Anyway I hope we skelp this horrible mob mañana
D. :)
Jobo being grandparents is indeed a gift from God.
Enjoy every moment.
Our little fella is 6 years old now and a season ticket holder in paradise.
He has been to Millans ground, Arsenals, West Ham, Wembley, White Heart lane. To name a few down south.
I need to try and get him to some away games up here.
He loves the footy.
D. :)
Off at a tangent as usual but any suggestion for cheap internet security systems!. Had McAfee for last year which is fine – but £69 to renew for another year seems over the top!
Aff oot for a bit; with a pushchair ;-)
Oh I forgot the Camp nou and Tenerife ground.
D. :)
Jobo
Try malwarebytes , think its about 29.99 ,I have used it for years.
Good Morning Jobo, from a bright, warm, and sunny North Cyprus.
I’ve been using ESET for the last three years, and have found it cheaper and better than McAfee.
