The immediate benefit of last night’s 0-3 win away to Alashkert, is that the manager can use Wednesday’s return game as an opportunity to get squad fitness to the required level, without having to worry about qualification.
We have 180 minutes football to get ready for Rosenborg or Valur. The former are 16 league games and five months into their season. And you do not need to be reminded, Rosenborg dusted themselves down after defeat to Celtic last season to end Ajax’ interest in European football before the end of August.
Did you notice Craig Gordon seemed anchored to his six yard box, allowing space between him and the defence for long balls to be pitched into? Not sure what the plan was here but it didn’t help. There is a newness about the defensive line-up which would benefit from the keeper taking a more active role.
Odsonne Edouard and Moussa Dembele looked a real handful. Both held the ball and withstood attention from multiple opponents. James Forrest got a goal and, technically, two assists, although his contribution to the opener was a shot he will try to forget. James produced the difference between Celtic and Rosenborg a year ago, his experience at this level will be valuable in two weeks.
There will be tougher tests for Lewis Morgan but his directness impressed.

Sevco make a bid of 3 million for a Millwall player,? were are they getting all this money from,but back to my own club Celtic,2 Million for John McGinn, being rejected,we are awash with cash,but this biscuit tin mentality,still exists at Celtic, makes you wonder were all the money from the Champion’s league etc,has went to,
Personally when I’m buying biscuits I prefer the proper Tunnock’s Caramel Wavers and not the cheap imitations you get out of Aldi/Lidl.

Shouldn’t you be more worried about the falling circulation of your paper?
Although I have a Croatian side to my family I’m taking the outlanders to win this afternoon.
This is based on the Croats having played the last two games against not that great sides and having went to extra time and penalties, they are also an aging side and have players who have played in the region of 60 games this last season.
The land thieves have a young aggressive and hungry side of pretty much unknowns, a wee bit like a certain club side in 1967. Their captain ‘arry spent his summers growing up in republican Connemara with his da Paddy.
No matter what the Auld Alliance and Irish sympathisers in 1798 and who also in April 1848 presented to Thomas Meagher, William Smith O’Brien and Richard O’Gorman an Irish tricolour made from the finest French silk wove by a group of French women will win it all on Sunday.

I agree regarding Croatia but England haven’t set the tournament alight either.
So should England get my support to win the cup

Maybe Brendan wants to keep Scott Allan?
————-
£10k a week wages mean he would need a pay off to go to Hibs as they would probably stretch to £4k p/w max, if that.

The logistics involved to get the Celtic squad to and from Armenia, arrange accommodation, food etc, training etc etc must have been considerable. Plaudits to the team behind the scenes.

TONTINE TIM,
Didn’t remember that about Joe McBride. If McGinn can make anything like the contribution Joe made to Celtic, he will be well worth whatever we pay for him.
BMCUW
Many Happy Returns Mick.
Mon the Croatia!

*We offered 22,000 and the Pars 22,500 which was accepted by Motherwell, I recall my da saying the Big Mhan was a fox and we would get Joe as all he had to do was refuse to move tae Fife and then ‘well would have tae accept our bid which they did.

You should just open the article and cut and paste that on here, saves them getting the clicks.

Many Happy Returns !! Enjoy the Guinness !!
Auldheid, and all.
There is I kid you not a website promoting the Upcoming BANDPARADES.
It gives the organizing lodge, the route of the walk, and closer to the date the number of bands participating.
If VFR is about, I dont want to step on any locals toes here, and what your already doing. I know you wanted me to email but I am away on holidays and not back till the weekend, be in touch then.
When you look at the band routes around glasgow, the Drumchapel, Dalmarnock and Bridgeton walks to routes that ALLWAYS go past catholic schools , place of worship, or celtic pubs and clubs. Its deliberate.
Why the Bridgeton ones need to go into the Calton , well there is only reason. To create that false supremacy,.
The Brigeton Orange and Purple District number 37 , will “parade” on saturday 21st July at 12:00.
The route is interesting,
Main St Bridgeton, Bridgeton Cross, London Rd, Glasgow Cross, Gallowgate, Moir Street, London Rd, Bridgeton Cross, James Street, MacKeith St, Main Street.
It will pass St Aloyisis, on the way to glasgow cross, Moir st turndown i assume is because marches up past the barras have been met with blockades before.
Its 2018, still Catholics cant be in certain streets of glasgow on certain days.
Its sickening and needs challenged more.
Happy Birthday BMCUW !
Hope you have a great day ?

Rosary beads check, prayer mat check, kippah worn – check, incense burning- check, statue of Cernunnos – check, statue of Vishnu – check, statue of Buddha – check. Hopefully all deities covered
Please, please, please, pretty please don’t let the English win tonight
BMCUW. A very happy birthday and many happy returns of this day. So born 10 minute before midnight on 11th July. Someone up there is taking care of you. Have a good night and enjoy.
SAINT STIVS on 11TH JULY 2018 5:58 PM,
That’s the route they take every ‘Walk’ – don’t know what the SNP guy was on about the Saturday one being re-routed…
There is a walkway parallel to London Road all the way from brigtin to the entrance at Glasgow Green. They could easily use this but, it’s not lizzies highway…
Connaire12,
and all those with faith.
Please pray on the passing of a great man, a Celtic fanatic , who taught me a lot, and kept me in check so many times.
Greenock east end born, Port Glasgow living , a man with a tremendous faith and a follower of celtic eveywhere.
God bless JOHN MCALEICE.
Happy birthday M

St Alphonsus.
Now type it out 100 times ?
England have only played one team in this World Cup who are ranked lower than 16 th…………………… and they lost that match (versus Belgum). Croatia are ranked 20th by the way.
