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.

Decent start for the newly-promoted team playing their first season in the top league.
Will need to start winning some games to achieve their 55 point target.
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Does anyome have any spares for sunday!
HH
WEE BGFC
Think I will switch on SKY to see what the excuses are. Hope that little jump the dyke McCann is on, just to see his pain.
Missed the 2nd half,not a bad point for the
newly promoted side,think they’ll make a
decent fist of it this season,could even finish
top 6.
Craig Paterson and Steven Thompson sounding a bit glum. For some reason…..
Sevco in the SPL………… Nothing to see here
Will be driving tomorrow as we hammer Hearts. Anyone know what time it will be shown later on Celtic TV? Can’t find this info online. Would it be 10pm? Then I just need to avoid radio, CQN, helpful eejits, etc.
Reality check for the MSM.
Hamilton will struggle to win a game this season, they are dire. And yet Sevco struggled to break them down.
Easiest possible start for them and they fluff it. Imagine they’d been at Pittodrie or Tynecastle? They’d have been humped.
I think every team in the league all be able to beat them, some quite comfortably.
Haaaaaahaaaaamilton …..this season is going to be awfy awfy braw…..
Oh I just love it….
Beatbhoy \ Bendigo……..loved that clown stuff…..I will put ma good self out on a limb here….by stating that no other blog …worldwide was discussing Arab\Judean micro politics….whilst simultaneously having a discourse on punch lines from Circus jokes….
What a braw place this can be…
Braw.
Will Waguero’s injury speed up the Van Persie signing? Seems to have gone a bit quiet on that one……
Just switched on Shortbread – what’s with the post-match ‘Piano Sonata No. 2 In B Flat Minor’ (by Frédéric Chopin) theme music?
Did I miss something? :-)
The salient point of this afternoon`s proceedings.
Massimo Donati has a Celtic tattoo.
Burnley will earn more TV money this season than all 42 SCO clubs combined over the next 4 seasons.

Praecepta
Mozart`s Requiem might be more appropriate.
Turned on SKY to get some gen about the deid team’s game: 2 of their players and a supporter summing things up. Even McCann reckons the Accies deserved a point. So, probably they deserved to win.

Reality check for the MSM.
——-
Not sure the MSM do reality!
BSR
Is that a fact?
Every sevco cheerleader got a wake up call today even there deluded supporting hordes they are going no where they are a very average side whose big name signings Barton & Kranjar are just there to load up there pension. It is a long season & this lot will be lucky to finish mid table
But the propaganda will still be pumped out relentlessly about there return to the SPFL but lets face reality this lot are going nowhere soon
Today, with Sevco is the first time a newly formed club has graced the Scottish top flight since Gretna back in 2007/08

=================================
That really is hideous.
And what the SNP should run with.
You know we can go on all we like (and yes I am aware that I do on one subject) about behind the scenes skullduggery, but football has a way of righting itself where it counts for everyone – On The Park.
I have no doubt skullduggery took place in 2011 to allow RFC a bite of CL money to pay the wee tax bill, heck SFA cannot even get their story straight, but at the end of the day Malmo and Maribor made sure on the park that it didn’t matter.
Today Hamilton told us that mighty as the media portrayed the mighty Gers, that football might not agree with the script.
TRFC look good going forward but error prone in defense. A one all draw v Hamilton- how is that going to be spun?
Check the three articles on CQN Magazine about an alternative reality that today’s result suggests is much nearer the truth.
Was nearly getting my humiliation t-shirt looked oot there!!
4 mins injury time and it looks like a load of zombies been told there’s a Pokemon outside
VG
The New Rangers had 63% of possession. They conceded seven free kicks to Accies nineteen. That might be roughly what would be expected when considering the Possession difference. Let`s see if that hold true for Celtic games. I know it didn`t last season.

Amo talking sho!te on Sky…..accompanied by the incomparable McCan’t and the horrible Spanner! ……………………. hahahahahahahah. Hurtin’ Huns!
Hot Smoked
From a Guardian source, so must be true
Wee McCann is hurting, good enough for the little hun fecker.
Sounds like a funeral on RS.
Barton named man of the match !!
How did they work that out
2 things really excite me this season.
6 in a row
Triggers broom fc being relegated.
One is a given.
The other a distinct possibility
Sevco finding out that it’s a wee bit more difficult playing against full-time pros instead of part-timers who also have day jobs.
Nothing to see here Sammy, move along!
HH!!
That’s 1 point on their way to a target of 55.
Up The Hoops.

There’s so much evidence for SNP in business and football. Anybody football fan
let alone Celtic that subscribes to Sky is a fool.
Watching the round up of the hun game, I see mc Coist and Durrant are being kept busy with the lawnmowers.
Zombies getting an inkling that football without EBT superstars is a difficult game, even with the ref on your side.
All the acrimony discarded….
the poly-con insights abandoned.
Tims having a laugh……..
……….at the expense of the Ibrox jobbies.
No better feeling.
Hail Hail
I’m not saying anything until tomorrow
HH
Cracking start to the season, haha. Does anyone know any Celtic friendly pubs in Aberdeen for the game tomorrow?
