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.
Thanks to Malorbhoy, we have a £5-a-ticket raffle to win the chance to appear in your very own team photo, alongside the Celtic players and management at the preseason photocall for 2016-17.
You will then meet treble winning captain, Tom Boyd, who will give you a personal tour of Celtic Park.
Celtic will provide you with a strip, which you will retain, and you will receive your team photograph, framed and signed by the team, on a specially prepared mount.
This is an incredible experience for any Celtic fan.

Almore, I’m off to Donegal for a week this Sunday, bad planning.
TWOTUNTIMFROMTEDDINGTON on 30TH JUNE 2016 9:39 PM
Nial mcginn scores in 93 min to make it 2-1 then Rooney makes it 3-1 in 97th min!
———————————————————
Wait till this season if Ra Gers are losing 1-0……97th minute will be the norm. ;-)

And the Wee Reds managed an away draw in Luxembourg
Well done Aberdeen. We need everybody firing on all cylinders to improve the ole coefficient.
Well done to Cork City for a great result behind enemy lines.
How did the Jambos do? I hope they won also.
Good night all round.

Good result for Cliftonville too.
Sheep leave it late to get a result, they should go through now, cans the Minis taking on the chin in Estonia..
Well played Cork..
Thanks for the updates everyone.
Corky: I understand. I miss the AICSC dinner this weekend as I am attending a wedding. Enjoy Donegal and belated congrats on your 30th anniversary. I’ll be cheering on the rhebels in the return leg.

I had a few jars of the Sagres in Ashton Lane last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will we lose all these fine Euro beers when we finally leave EU? I think we should be told.
Glad we got back to 2-2. Contrary to mainstream thinking, I think results in friendlies ARE important. Developing a mindset that you don’t lose games is important.
I thought Rogic played well, and Stuart Armstrong was excellent. He is a form player who needs confidence and hopefully will benefit from encouragement from the crowd this season. Like many others on here I would like to see him in central midfield, as playing on the left stifles him. Moving forward I think he can be a big player for us in the years ahead.
Nadir Shift Key looked at least a stone lighter than last season, and took his goal well. Again I think he would benefit from encouragement. He didn’t get a lot last year, but I think he may yet prove to be decent player for us.
Nobody looked to be badly hurt and lots of players got game time, so it was a really good exercise.
The Brendan era is off and running.
TOSB….
I’ll text a link to Lennybhoy and Bmcuw that you can use on the iPad if you have eithers number.
The Euros to date have been insipid and uninspiring.
Absent of entertainment.
Overcoached in a fearful manner.
By contrast the Copa America was brilliant viewing.
Down with the fearful possession obsessed.

For quite a few I reckon that tonight’s match and others in this mini tour will be a shop window – “I am fit and available”
Just noticed a semi-clothed individual invading the Veledrome – naked from the waist down – half man – half horse, think he was heading for the Centaur circle.
