Have yourself a troubled night in Glasgow

1188

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.

  1. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    specialbrew, the last time I slashed my wrists to music I was listening to a version of M&M’s Slim Shady sung by the Carpenters.

     

     

    The time before that it was the billy boys by The Brotherhood of Man. That was truly shocking. I should have gassed and set fire to myself as well.

     

     

    That’s no way to sing a hate filled song. They totally killed it.

  4. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Before I go…….here’s a brilliant little bit of film footage shot from the perspective of the Barca support down in Main stand / maybe the corner of the LL, Either way, it show’s they had a fantastic night at our place and they got some of the best pictures of the display.

    Sitting in an Irish bar, (not my local) where lovely lady Emma from Donegal, controls the bar and the numerous TV’s. She was showing the Victorias Secret Fashion show on all TVs tonight… Controlling her customers with that and her own music. Smart girl Emma…

     

     

    Then commercials come on… New movie called Playing For Keeps advertised…. And there is a shot of your man Gerry Butler, wearing the Hoops (CR Smith), celebrating a la Ken Loach’s gym teacher in Kes.

     

     

    I reacted…

     

     

    Zoom, just one look and my heart went boom.

  8. Estadio Nacional on

    Mornin…

     

     

    Just under 15 hours to kick off, its bad enough being concerned over one massive game but being worried about another at the same time is going to make it a long day, 22:45 kick off here.

     

     

    Hope domestic form doesnt creep into the game and has dented confidence.

     

     

    22 confirmed for the newly formed Doha CSC, had to split venues for this one.

     

     

     

    A Baltic 19 °C here.

  9. whit on earth is anyone doin up at this time of day?

     

     

    Can’t sleep? That’s just infantile.

     

     

    Get back to bed unless you’ve got a really good reason for being awake.

     

     

    Me? Well I HAD to get up to trim my nasal hair.

     

     

    Hail Hail

     

     

    Estadio

  10. Good Morning to all.

     

    My prediction for the game. Vmhan will be happy after first half but but nervous. 1:0 , not full confidence. Vmhan will be very happy after final whistle with three goals up.

  11. Morning cold but dry Celts.

     

     

    Coorslad and the Derry no 1 on way to the game already, as I said to him earlier………..3-1 to Celts and Benfica to draw with Barca.

  12. Estadio Nacional:

     

     

    It was a Baltic 42c here yesterday and I was out concreting in posts. In the end I had to take my jumper off.

  13. Zybysek, ha 3-1 mi amigo!

     

     

    Canamalar the rangers are dead mate, you knew that right? it’s merely the Zombies that remain.

     

    Enjoy!

  15. I can’t speak for all Celtic Supporters, but of late, I get a wee bit scared on the night shift!

    You mean one will score own goal? Caltic players may read this blog. Don’t cause the panic :-) No one would like to score OG.

  17. Morning all.

     

     

    Mightily cold in ML3. It’ll be nervous and nail biting but I expect both Celtic and Barcelona victories this evening.

  18. Kano’s Birthday is on the 15th, you might like to put it in your posting diary and on the day, using Paul’s Cyber Juggernaut of many colours (that Paul pays for to serve us for free) send him your best wishes, or a joke, or a memory.

  19. Good morning friends from a cold frosty windless clear skied East Kilbride.

     

     

    Loads of layers packed for tonight. Work – couple of shandies – bite to eat – Champions League – celebratory nightcap. What’s not to like about life!

     

     

    This is the day – rejoice and be glad!

     

     

    13 hours…

  20. A dusting of snow over the aul’ Chilterns…

     

     

    Big nicht the nicht, Lenny has got quite a few decisions, with injuries/suspensions who to play, take the game to Spartak or sit back, listen to news from the Nou Camp and act accordingly or concentrate on the goings on at Celtic Park.

     

     

    Luckily all that stuff is above my pay grade – I’m just looking for a Celtic win and a Barca master class.

     

     

    C’mon the Hoops

     

     

    Hail! Hail!
