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. Indifference is the opposite of love.

     

    Hatred requires too much emotional input. Drains ye.

     

    Leave that to them. Hopefully they’ll just drain thmselves away.

  2. Lads on here recently were getting a bit bothered when Thompson resigned from SPL Board that moves might be afoot to fast track the zombies into the top flight. I think their Boycott effectively means that any fast tracking is absolutely dead in the water. Another reason to be cheerful on this Happy Day.

    I don’t think it’s “beyond a joke now”………lhowever, I do think they are a joke now …… LOL Also think it has finally got home to them that they are finished, and the bitterness is, once more, to the fore ……..what a Xmas this could be……

  4. Rangers were listed on Plus market, a joke really with no serious protections for investors. The Rangers want to float on AIM which is a half way house with some protection for investors but only if the new company takes its responsibilities seriously (no laughing at the back). It’s Cenkos who’s reputation goes on the line as they will be responsible for ensuring Rangers are properly advised to comply with AIM rules.

     

     

    Looking forward to full disclosure of current investors in the AIM admissions document / prospectus. That document must be in circulation by now in pretty much final form if they are marketing to potential investors and if any chance of admission to AIM on 19th Dec.

    The monetary value of winning tonight’s game from available figures.

     

     

    UEFA prizemoney for the win-1m

     

     

    UEFA prizemoney for last 16-3.6m

     

     

    Match receipts,est,for last 16-3m

     

     

    (All above figures in euros)

     

     

    So effectively a win tonight is worth a minimum of £6m to us,with approx the same again should we win that.

     

     

    But it all pales into insignificance at the pleasure of watching assorted huns faces turning green……

     

     

    So for whichever reason you prefer,a win will be just champion tonight.

     

     

    MONTHEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!!!

    As you can see I have a pretty full schedule for the day,I will enjoy the game tonight and after a deserved victory,the second half of the night begins.Sore head tomorrow?.

    I don’t think thems boycott at DU will work

     

     

    Thems will not be able to resist a big game, and suspect enough of thems will defy what they will consider to be bullying by more extreme elements if support (I know..)

     

     

    There will be a view that the team needs supporting and expect a growing groundswell of support for that view – then cue the massive about-turn by Chuck and Sally

     

     

    The notion that they will ‘picket’ the game with threats of zombie on zombie violence is hilarious … Well, it would be if it were not so serious – I hope the special task force currently targeting Celtic fans for singing and lateral movement, will now be reassigned to identify and arrest the Sevco nutters advocating violence on-line.

     

     

    Hope United fans don’t get caught up in the shambles, and turn out in huge numbers to cheer on their club.

     

     

    Anyway we have CL game to look forward to later and guaranteed Euro football as we head into the Spring

     

     

    Springtime is Greentime

    Brilliant ……. Better not jump up when we score, or you’ll drown……LOL

  16. How many Huns does it take to change a lightbulb..?

     

    20. One to change the bulb and 19 to blame Neil Lennon for breaking the first one…

  17. Q: Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, a Rangers fan and an old drunk are walking down the street together when simultaneously they each spot a fifty pound note. Who gets it?

     

    A: The old drunk, of course, the other three don’t exist.

  18. Sunny — cold wind / 12 degrees – way down south .

     

     

    Local bookie won’t accept bets on Shakhtar / Juve being a draw .

     

     

    UEFA hinting that they will be watching closely .

     

     

    Shakhtar and Juve engaging in a war of words / trading insults..[ wonder why ?]

     

     

    We’ll see.

     

     

    Italian media have Balotelli going to AC Milan .

     

     

    Italian media have Sneijder going to PSG with Inter taking the wondrous Pastore in exchange [ plus paying 10 million euros ] Watched PSG last night , just to see Pastore —– a wonderful football player ! .

     

     

    Busy day — game to watch tonight . Enjoy !

    Q: What do you call a Rangers fan who goes to University?

     

    A: A janitor…

     

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

     

    Wrong answer……janitors are intelligent, caring individuals……answer should be…….’LOST’

  20. Some criticism on the late shift of the Arab statement on Sevco boycott.

     

    I am going to assume that those making those judgements have never read the tales of Uncle Remus.

     

    When Brer Fox has Brer Rabbit in his evil grasp & is deciding what to do him, the wily Rabbit pleads with his tormentor.

     

    ‘ Do whatever you want with me,..but Please, Please. Please, don’t throw me into the briar patch’.

     

    This pleading, of course, results in Brer Fox doing exactly that his victim has suggested.

     

    We are left with the image of Brer Rabbit happily singing in his natural thorny habitat, to the consternation of the gullible Fox.

     

     

    Brer Arab is playing his Sevconian rivals like a Stradivarius.

     

    I like it.

     

    ‘ Please, Please, Please , Don’t stay away from Tannadice. It will damage our club & yours.’

     

     

    I like that.

    —-

     

     

    Your team is very close to the one Lenny will pick

     

     

    But – I suspect he will make room for dead- ball Charlie at expense of Kris ( personally I would not risk Broonie and would let Ghoops click his heels on bench for Lassad or even Tony Watt)

     

     

    Lenny will go with tried and tested and I trust in our talented manager.

  28. thetimrieper

     

     

    Personnel-wise, I think that’ll be the team (I’d go with Izzy rather than Matthews). But please! Swap Commons and Sammi around!

     

     

    Two cups of tea spilt already – nervous tic.

    Plans never work out for me,I’ve wrote down what I’d like to do but it will be completely different as the day goes on,I may see you in the Italian Caffe,depends?.
