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.

He’ll get the BBC gig back as soon as Sevco go bust, same as Duffield did when he
baled out of the SFA, and then Deedco.

Evening all.
I wonder if any of you who are knowledgeable about consumer rights can guide me here. I purchased a tablet in June or July and it needs repair. I thought I had a warranty for a year (have to confess that I didn’t read the small print) but have been told by the seller that they only gave me a warranty for 3 months and therefore they weren’t responsible. Are they right? Until now, I laboured under the impression that a year was the minimum time frame was a year
doesn’t matter what guarantee they are saying it has, it’s got to be “fit for use”….a tablet that lasts less than 3 months is not fit for use, let them know that you will be taking it further if they don’t replace it or refund you
The cunning chuck has missed a real trick here….make no mention of boycott, let sevco zombies spout there pash.
Take tickets from Dundee Hibs, and sit back and get half the gate, but no.
The chuck decides to hang his hat with the angry.
And I still haven’t got my 12 shares prospectus.
Man is class, in a very funny way.
bournesouprecipe – will the bus have a photo of Katie or King Billy at the front?

Who was the Spanish bloke sitting at the table in the bar in Barca, was he with you ?
Hearing the SFA will announce tomorrow a special disciplinary meeting will be convened to discuss sanction of expulsion of TRFC from the SC.

Evening all
I don’t usually care what the zombies do but I’m really annoyed about an official boycott, the chancer in charge over there is playing to the gallery and setting a dangerous precedent.
The z’s are lapping it up but what state is the game going to be in when he walks away in 18 months, pockets bulging, and scottish football has infighting like never before. Disgusted.
Anyways big game tomorrow, took Barca -1 @ 11/8, avoid defeat and we’re through!!
HH
StumptownBhoy and a few previous-Thanks for your best wishes .HH .Dortmund 9/1 is a team i hope we are in the draw with,but dont get !
I think this years champions league knock out stage will have a very balanced number of quality teams in both the group winners and group runners up positions.
So, to cut a long story short, finishing first or second will not be a massive advantage (the luck of the draw will mean some group winners and some group runners up will get hard ties, and some will get less hard ties).
So, the prize for Juventus tomorrow is to qualify, and not to upset their hosts by trying to win and top the group. There would be no real material gain for Juventus to go for the win.
Now imagine Shaktar knew that if they did not annoy Juventus by trying to win, that Juventus would reciprocate by not crossing the half way line whilst in possession.
A draw would of course also elimenate a major rival in Chelsea.
Are the bookies still daft enough to be offering odds on a draw, however short, in this game?
bournesouprecipe – surely they would have to pay compensation to Dundee United for the loss of gate money. Mr EBT Ogilvie would never agree to the expulsion or the comp, he would rather resign.
Bada
All the best ole man.
Hope you get what you wish for tomorrow.

I posted the other week about the odds on that game being less then usual for the draw.
Can’t see any other result, but you never know.

Told the BBC ages ago to stuff their license where the Jabbahole don’t see daylight. Several weeks later two knuckledraggers came round to the door and I told them the exact same thing. Also told them that I would start paying my license when they started reporting actual news and not pap, told them I would rather go to jail than pay t.v license. I can easily afford to pay license but will not pay for propaganda on a local, national or international level. I will give the BBC 5 to 6 years and they will fold. What have they given you in the last 5 or 6 years.
By the way have not heard from them since.
Is Elvis, our ex Bhoy, now managing Borussia Dortmund or is it his twin?
TET,
I remember. However, at that time, I thought the carrot of winning the group would have meant Juve would have made a game of it.
However,
Win the group – might get Real Madrid.
Finish second – might get Shalke.
Neither are easy, but one is easier than the other.
I think Juve will be very relaxed about being pragmatic tomorrow.
Sorry> Confused..

i have a tkt for to-morrow nights game against spartak.its a concession price 20 pounds ,its in the front stand near the away dug out
Is this a ticket for sale?
kikin
Hoping so, but working can’t guarantee so passed ticket onto your friend SP just in
case.
Spirit of Arthur Lee – I am absolutely wetting myself here – this is all far too funny. Its crazy and getting crazier. The huns just look absolutely stupid and I look forward to the SFA intervening. I mean there are no conflicts of interests and the SF……oh thats right Campbell Ogilvie.
Awe Naw – so let me get this right Jabba is defending the huns to the hilt – hilariously HMRC appeal and its all up in the air again. Jabba flounces around and then goes and work for the huns. Meanwhile he thinks he can keep his job with the beeb? So there are no conflicts of inter……oh actually there is…..
Is it just me or is all of this absolutely mental and completly surreal.
Am I living in a parallel universe?
