With Lionel Messi and Barcelona focussed on winning their final group game against Benfica tomorrow night Celtic must achieve a better result against Spartak Moscow than Benfica manage at the Camp Nou to progress to the latter stages of the Champions League.
Aiden McGeady has suffered a recurrence of a pennate muscle tendon injury and is doubtful. Georgian creative midfielder, Jano Ananidze, is also out injured, while coach Valery Karpin is under pressure to axe Argentine defenders Juan Insaurralde and Nicolas Pareja after both picked up red cards on Friday night against Zenit. The Russian media have also turned on Dutch midfielder Demy De Zeeuw, who was at least partially culpable for the Zenit defeat. Celtic could face a more cohesive Russian team tomorrow, although perhaps without some of their more talented players. Who this troubles most remains to be seen.
Reading (and writing) Celtic Quick News you learn of the thousands of actions Celtic fans take in order to assist others or alleviate pain and distress. In aggregate these actions can and do move mountains.
Yesterday it was announced that one of our family, Rod Stewart, is donating proceeds of his new single, Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas, to the Celtic Charity Fund and Teenage Cancer Trust to fight this horrible disease and assist those afflicted by it.
The single will be available for download from this Sunday, 9 December. It offers you and me the opportunity to raise awareness – and funds – on a level we would otherwise never be able to achieve. Charity is part of your job as a Celtic fan. On this occasion, on aggregate, we can have an enormous impact.
Still looking for tickets for tomorrow night?
You can email an auction bid for two Wee Oscar Write Bands, each comes with a free ticket to Celtic v Spartak Moscow. Send an email with your bid to weeoscar4life@gmail.com. Competition closes at 20:00 GMT tonight.
You can buy the CQN Annual at the Cathedral House Hotel before the game tomorrow night. The Hotel are organising a lift to the game too!
We’ll pick up on the SFA president once the more important matters are out of the way.

Huns knock back tix for Dundee Utd game.
Thems is awfy huffy .

#Rangers say they won’t take up their ticket allocation for Scottish Cup match against #DundeeUtd at Tannadice. #BBCSport
Wonder if they’ll still want half the gate receipts???
vp,
good news, should be sanctions as well as a loss of shared gate :o)
Sevco no taking tickets for tannadice, well that’s the picket line burst.
If there was any team I would trust to do the hounorable thing ( apart from us , of course) that team would be Barca.,They are a club of integrity unlike the manky mob, speaking of whom , surely in the name of justice , they will be nailed in the appeal.
Like to see Jabba talk his way out of that!!
Cheating Orcs
Hail hail 3 – 1 the hoops the morra
the prince of goalkeepers
Even if not one ticket is sold by The Rangers they will still be entitled to take half of the gate money, well they are always entitled aren’t they?
One of the more stupid ideas in a litany of stupid stupid ideas.
Looks like I started the diet too early.
Jelly and Ice Cream back on the menu!
vogue
This not actionable – if a club does that? (even a Deed club)
Hope Dundee UTD sell out…..maybe a few hoops faces could swell the crowd !!!
I’m up for that
Sevconians will save themselves a lot of pain by staying away from Tannadice. The pain of seeing their team get a thorough skelping.
So Chuck sets a precedent of his own by stating unanimous decision to not take their tickets due to certain SPL Clubs stance when they were in a perilous situation. Come on down Chuck. Does this mean that you will not take tickets when you play CFC 1888 anytime in the future?
What a wean, what a numpty…or could it be he knows they will not be in business come February.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Kate Middleton is pregnant?
Kept that quiet over the last couple of days.
Lads I’m up for going to UTD to help them out but i won’t go if half the cash goes to them.
From a quick skim over the news Radio Scotland, BBC and Clyde(on their fb page) all distinguishing between the new Rangers and the former Rangers today – I wonder if any names were put to articles?
The truth will prevail, one way or another.

Off to see the mighty Port Vale
behave yourselves

Agree Dundee Utd should sell their tickets and refuse to give them the money.
traditionalist88
No names on the BBC article (ツ)
expect the sfa will be turning a blind eye to one club trying to undermine their premium competition
SFA must act re the gate sharing as Sevco have backed the boycott . There can be no gate sharing when one side boycotts a cup game. The police must also act against the UnterMensch who are threatening to “deal with” any Sevconian or more likely some innocent bystander who dares to attend a game of football.
They should be expelled from the competition and be made to pay compensation to Utd.
The difference between the reports on HMRC’s decision to pursue the dead club are quite subtle, but important.
The BBC very clearly make the distinction that there is a new club in Div3 after the old club was liquidated.
STV, however, go with the ‘old company’ who ran RangersFC. This is what the huns/sevco fans want to hear. That it was the company who were liquidated not the club.
We need to hear more of the former and less of the latter!
SPF
Sevco in bringing football into disrepute shock………………………….
Is there anything in the Scottish Cup rules about ticket boycotts? Does the away team have to sell tickets?
canamalar
It’s like ‘Lord of the Flies ‘ over at ole ipox,Ally can play Piggy of course.
Hopefully no grownups enter to spoil our fun.
The huns take the moral low ground

That’s fantastic. What I’d LOVE to see now, for a laugh, is Peter Lawwell turn round and offer the old p*sh-stained alky a column in the ‘Sunday Liam’.
The U-turn would be a tornado and PL would lose a hand.
Re: Gary Hooper –
Anyone thinking Hooper should NOt start tomorrow night isn’t viewing the full picture.
His form might be iffy but in his position as main striker the memory of his splendid performance in Moscow is his most important weapon tomorrow night – those Spartak central defenders will be extremely anxious to see his name on the starting teamsheet.
That alone, makes his inclusion a must. It’s a matte rof inches, gentlemen, and the psychological inches gained with Hooper up top to start could be worth £10 million. That and the known phenomenon that strikers perform well agianst certain teams (I refer for tap-of-heid-example to Tommy Coyne, hammer of Hearts); Spartak might be Gary’s chosen European victims.
ScotPats
When I read the BBC report I checked STV to see if they’d followed suit.
I hope Sevco refuse a ticket allocation against Celtic should we ever have the misfortune of having to play them.
Scotland without a Sevco would be great but Scotland without a Sevco travelling support would be a nice start. If it’s confirmed that Sevco aren’t entitled to a share I wouldn’t mind a wee trip to Tannadice to have a look at Russell and Mackay-Steven.
Keep up the good world Chuckie!
If Rangers get no money from Dundee Utd game how many Celtic/Aberdeen etc buses will go?
How stoopid are these guys?
Richard Gough tells BBC sportsound that the club is wrong not to take up cup allocation at Tannadice.
Chortles Green CSC
I cant think of any precedent of a club backing a fans boycott. Maybe on grounds of safety or whatever but I think it is unprecedented . They have to be expelled from the competition.
LOl if it wasn’t so sad:
BBC Scotland make a story about HMRC and the Hun tax appeal into a shameful spin regards ‘top accountants’ emphasising need for Huns in top flight or other clubs ‘could find themselves in bother’.
Pathetic, biased, b*ll*cks.
DU should charge £1 per ticket but you need to buy a programme at whatever it costs to make up to normal price of ticket (say £14). Capacity = 14,000 = £14,000 gate receipts. Take away costs (police, stewards etc) the Zombies get the square root of hee-haw. DU keep the programme money to themselves, £196k. Simples!
Chuck has stated Sevco wont take tickets for Utd and urges zombies not to attend.
Why would anyone invest in this circus of a club?
Auldheid
We could have a Celtic End doing the Huddle when Utd score?
Magic CSC
Absolutely no way should they get half the cash and if the Masonic cabal that is the SFA don’t kick them out, united should refuse them any monies , their fans should stay away. Half of hee haw is hee haw which is more than they deserve !’
The Sevconian hall of shame is ever expanding.
