Hapoel Beer-Shiva delivered Olympiakos first defeat in a Champions League qualifying match in six years. The Greeks have competed in the group stage every season since, holding their own throughout the period, so getting knocked out by Hapoel was the equivalent of losing a Scottish Cup semi-final to a lower-league club.
Hapoel are not better than Olympiakos, not nearly so, but they were good enough to progress when they got the breaks. Anyone who thinks we’ll easy past them into the group stage is being ridiculously complacent.
I’m trying to avoid the nonsense coming out of Ibrox while we have more important things going on, but good grief! Please, please, have them follow through on the nonsense of ditching their legally contracted Puma strips to wear something else.
That stadium seems to be a beacon attracting stupid people doing stupid things.
You’ll note the INDEPENDENT SFA report on crowd at the Scottish Cup final recorded no assaults whatsoever on Newco players. This clearly caused some dissonance at the media organisations who reported utter fabrications after the game.
Never mind, Newco is in the same good hands which were on the tiller when their disastrous EBT plan was enacted, and the players who benefited from EBTs are front and central of Newco media coverage.
If you can’t see how this story ends, you’re not looking.

Surprised McGregor kept Joe Hansen out.
I thought Joe Hansen was good when he came on against Astana.
Happy to be proved wrong Callum :)

Weak midfield but that’s all we have, Lustig and Tierney better be on their games today.
Wee Leigh to be our star today.

We need two midfielders in, first team not squad filler, on deep lying playmaker, one box to box goalscorer.
The problem is we have eight or nine players who play in the central midfield so would need to get at least four out before we see any new faces in there.
Celtic at minus 3. 9/1. 4-4-2 clinched it for me ;-)
MADMITCH
The Dagenham Girl Pipers always have two up front.
Selected the stay at home version, so thanks in advance for all live updates.

Anybody in Embra?
MadMitch…any chance you could publish an initial dictionary?
BTW…what’s your opinion of KT?
KT? He’s A OK ;)
Forrest McGregor and Armstong hope BR is right, but I see this as a batlle in midfield today which will decide the game
WEEBOBBYCOLLINS
Which one?

Celtic park steward must have needed a Saturday shift….
——————————————-
(the)Rangers launch investigation into claims steward was ejected from Ibrox after bust-up with Hamilton supporter
21:03, 6 AUG 2016 UPDATED 21:21, 6 AUG 2016
BY RECORD REPORTER
THE Ibrox club tonight confirmed a probe is underway into the alleged incident which came as Rangers opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw.
*******
Can’t not have some sympathy for the steward being “probed” at Ibrox.
Must be Spare the Goat Day over there.
In the Captain Morgan in Hayes to watch the game. Good Celtic pub.
Our midfield is very lightweight, which makes it an attacking looking line up, with two up front.
I hope BR has got it right on his first SPL test, but I expect Johanssen and or Rogic will play a major part of this
game.

Its Dembele…..big smiley thing

Spot on – I’ve been saying for months – 10 (Delia/ Lawwellprojects) out 3 BR selected quality players in.
Great to have a a proper manager managing.

When I read that SS was on the bench I thought, ‘oh no! Stuart Slater has re-signed for us’…
I would like….
Wee Leigh to put the maroon hun to the sword.
Just because he can. And will relish the opportunity.
Two up front , B.M. ?
Cannae whack `em.
So I`m told.

Heard Brendan is investigating why recent team line ups appearing on social media hours before kick off
###
He was.
Now he’s investigating how it’s been posted on social media that he had been investigating why recent team line ups had appeared on social media before kick off.
And presumably he’s now investigating………….repeat ad infinitum.

I’m hoping Rogic is just lacking in fitness. But let’s face it,we can only put eleven on at any one time.
See Alan “Blinky” Sneddon is summariser on Celtic TV
V Real Madrid, European Cup QF 1980, his finest hour in a Celtic shirt.
