There was a spring in the step this morning as we look forward to Celtic taking to the field for the first time under Brendan Rodgers against Slovenians, NK Celje.
While the usual caveats apply – we’re unfit and will look it, the manager doesn’t really know the players yet – it will be interesting to see the formation, and how it contrasts to Ronny’s reign. I would also look out for wee clues as to how we will play, like how the keeper distributes the ball, and where the full backs play.
16 years ago Martin O’Neill took his team to the Netherlands and was well beaten, but he returned to Amsterdam a few weeks later, where he ripped up the form book, so don’t get too stressed by what might happen later.
Once in a lifetime opportunity……
There are rare experiences and then there are extremely rare experiences, but the chance to appear in the Celtic team photo is incredibly rare.

Yet again – great movement from the Celts.
Nobody dilly dallying on the ball – always looking to go forward.
Rogic dinks it home (2-2).
Sublime finish from Tom Rogic
McCart booked- good professional foul
Sign Tom up man, just do it. Classy.

I posted bravo there for a laugh at the previous poster who wants the bravo guy hit with a microphone
And I flick back to see we scored so.
Bravo.
So far- my view of the best 11 from our two teams tonight is :-
Neither goalie shone
Fisher Schiavchenko O’Connell Tierney
McGregor Armstrong Henderson
Roberts neither CF shone Rogic (for the goal- he edges Forrest)
Honourable mentions to McCart, Christie and Forrest
Better, out on a message. Who scored?

Stylish?
If you think you look good in your glasses,you need glasses.
Some difference with this midfield 3.
Faster and more direct.
Less sideways and backwards.
looks like Brendan is the Mhan to take us all the way to Cardiff then ?????

Interesting to see that Calum is the capitano this half, I did say yesterday that I thot that he would feature under Brendan, it seems that he is his sort of player by the looks of it, I am happy about that, he has what it takes imo.

Good play by Armstrong again- star man tonight
SA shot easily saved
Nice wee flick by Ciftci- nearly came off
Hearts losing 1 nil
cheers for the updates bhoys !
Shocking late challenge on Janko……think he saw it comin though.
Good start to pre-season
The advantage of playing 2 teams for 45 mins each is you avoid the pre-season over-training strain injuries we saw last year.
The downside is – lack of continuity and no 90 minute stamina being built up but those are just early days problems
A yellow for Ciftci’s prof foul now
Jamie Lindsay getting the last 2 mins at LB to avoid Janko suffering any strain after the bad tackle.
In fact, Callum goes to LB and Jamie is in midfield
