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.
Your donations go to Celtic FC Foundation, to support their work in Health, Equality, Learning and Poverty. The Foundation deliver often life-changing support and opportunities to children and adults in Scotland, Ireland, the rest of the UK and in many needy areas of the globe.
Many thanks and good luck!

macjay1,
I got Liam Fox @ 50/1 to be the next Prime Minister. I don’t know what the price was before BOJO left the race.
The wee guy goes to St Andrews and St Brides, I know it ain’t the same exact school, it is just like St Pats & Notre Dame I’m guessing, I know little about these sorts of things.
Ever the optimist, I’m hoping that the UK Unites better than terrible Unions like Unite. Big problem with Centralizing POWER. Small Unions – Massive Thumbs Up.

FFS seems like the Demented one is going radio rental – The Lord Almighty told Everyone he Lost, It was taught to us All at a very young age – Very Impressionable as well.
Blah Blah blah – Divide them more, Get another Referendum. You can talk sh!t about Labour and the Conservatives until the cows come home. Get that SNP out of Office by hook or by crook would be my Advice.
It is Always the Will of the People that must be adhered to in a Democracy.
Back open for Business soon – I hope
I had hoped that Jeremy, like was mentioned on QT tonight, he had went for Brexit. That has killed him, IMO.
Despite Rockets like Ernie trying to paint dumbos like me as Racists, or did I just expose his Marxist Education. Let’s face it – we have all been Educated, Some Might SAY, that way.

Parliamentary democratic system is flwaed but less flawed than every other system.
Referenda are corruption and should be outlawed.

Alright BOBBY M.
Looking forward to an Exciting season @ Celtic?
I hadn’t ever seen this new Bhoy. He is a talented unit. Seems like Brendan is wowed by Griffs Finishing abilities, Keeping Paddy Roberts as well.
I had predicted 5-0 first half games at the start of the Ronny D tenure. It didnae quite happen that way.
Ronny is still a Young Dude and has so much knowledge obviously. He will be welcomed Home anytime he wants to return.
The Stadium is Full for EVERY game next Season.

Howdy,Pete.
Aye,looks as though the signings since January will improve the team.
There are only eleven places though with maybe another dozen or so in the main squad.
That’s a lot of dead wood to chop through.
Give Brendan the time and the backing,we will have a proper manager,with a team to be proud of.
And full houses the norm-it will be like the good old days!
HH,bud.
Mick – Me and Aidan, the Quiet Rebel, will be right beside the Huns when we take them to SCHOOL fitba wise.

I was delighted he seemed happy I voted for Brexit when I picked him up Friday.
He has heard me gibbering My Belief in so many conversations.
Thanks

Look out for Info. I can’t tell you much but I do know that Jesus Christ Died to take away all of ma Sins.

I hope you and Aidan are still talking about how good the last game was every time you walk down The Glasgow Celtic Way!
It’ll be good to be able to do that again-those “did ye see?” “D’ye remember?” “What about when” conversations that football fans are meant to have after a game.
BOBBY,
I’m better not being too optimistic.
I know the Wee Man is going to love being right next to the Sevco as we take so many Goals aff them, not that he will antagonise them, nor I.
I could have moved seats courtesy of the cqn dotters.
All I’m saying is Thank the Almighty, His Mum is so cool…….. she takes him doon to the front when the Stone Roses are playing their gig. I was Toby Mangled, lost and found, no echo whatsoever….. too many comms working @ the 1 Time. His Mammy led him doon there because that was the last she saw of me….. I headed into the crowd.
This is the One

Praise Yeshuah
Karen is so cool…… She went doon to Glastonbury to work as a Steward then came back up to Glasgow and went straight back doon to Blackpool to be with her 2 youngest Sons for a Holiday.

An provocative ” take ” on the foundation of Celtic .
Perhaps even a rabble rousing “take “.
And just before the return of the hun.
Unfortunate or perhaps expert timing.
What , you have to wonder , was the intention ,
Because there certainly was one.
Bums on Ibrox seats ?
===========================================================
Celtic’s genesis in 1887 to 1888 were imbedded in Irish Catholicism. The club was founded by a Marist Brother called Walfrid from Sligo – in the image of Edinburgh’s Hibernian – to maintain the dinner tables of Catholic parishes in the east end of Glasgow. The popular story is that money was being raised to feed poor immigrant children who suffered severe prejudice in a city that perceived them as ignorant, unwashed incomers with fathers that would provide cheap or scab labour.
For those Irish Catholics in the city that were treated as second-class citizens, Celtic were the riposte to their oppressors. The club enjoyed immediate success because it franchised a group that had never been interested in attending games
Yet, the truth is that Walfrid wanted to establish these food kitchens more because those on offer from indigenous Scottish churches carried the threat of straining his parishioners’ Catholicism; even demanding it be renounced for the food on offer. Walfrid’s main driver for Celtic was to stop the Irish Catholic immigrant population “taking the soup”. That Celtic was more about symbolism than sustenance to the go-getting Catholic businessmen with deep held convictions about Irish Home Rule is reflected in the fact that as early as the club’s financial accounts of 1893, not one penny was donated to the foods halls Walfrid had supposedly established the club to support.

I would be satisfied with a EL group place in Brendan’s first season, as he re-shapes and builds the squad.
Is CL qualification a MUST in his first season? – Probably it has not been budgeted for – but of course it would be nice if we get there – let’s hope heads don’t go down and the moaning start, if we don’t.
Just scanned the CQN night shift That must be a record. 15 seconds it lasted, which was how long it took me to scroll past a certain poster, and that was that.
What will today bring?
First day of the transfer window.
Into the unknown.
Joe Allan please.

Somme. Unthinkable carnage, that brought pain and suffering to a generation of Europeans. Ordinary men the fodder of ruling classes heartless ambition and greed.
100 years on, and those same ruling classes act with the same disregard for the wellbeing of ordinary men and women.
Tragic.

I want what Celtic supporters are entitled to expect.
At the very least , a place in the C.L. group stages.
After two barren years , however , I do not entirely expect to get what I want.
I remain optimistic , however , Mats.
