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.

A sore heid is okay but sore feet and wandering….?

Certainly not my friend.
I reckon there’s a market out there for bullet-proof brogues. Potential 5million customers.
Crickey I’m uptight……….off for a swim at 2pm……..arrive at Paradise circa 5pm…..have a meal then count down the minutes amongst friends…….
How many huns does it take to change a light bulb
500 million. Every one of their worldwide fanbase wants to be involved
Enjoying The Fear on Channel 4 with Celtic fan Peter Mullen,superb as usual in the lead role.
Lustig 20/1 for first goal……
Will have a wee bit of that. Each probably.
10/11 more than 4 bookings also seems likely.
Murdo, Murdo, Murdo, Murdo !
A wish ye wur playin the night fella !
God Bless
Been working since 5 this morning,
trying to finish about 3,
Gallowgate is calling my name, in a whispering sort of way,
family and friends are gathering,
I won’t be settled till i am with them,
then i will be like a kid on Christmas eve,
After the game straight home, mentally drained,
Loving it, being one of us,
Happy Celticing
Morning CQNers
Lovely crisp morning in Glasgow.
I think we need to have Mulgrew in the team tonight. 3 assists so far. I. Think this would make a good team

What’s your thoughts chaps?

I smiled when I read the Arab statement re the Sevco boycott .
Like you — Uncle Remus came to mind — Br’er Rabbit / Br’er Fox , Br’er Bear and, most of all , the tar baby
There is a great early 80s Van Dyke Parks LP based on the Uncle Remus stories —– Jump .

What ever team Neil picks, it will be good enough to win.
Would like to see Kris play, playing with hoops and sammi on
the wing would do me.
Charlie a hard one to call.

Don’t think Charlie is a hard one to call…..I think he’s BRILLIANT
Stringer Bell-Got Lustig 25/1 Ladbrokes mate.
Charlie will play due to set pieces.. Where is the tough question.
No way can i see ambrose in midfield..picture lenny does that and we are beat. After ambrose and wilsons performances in europe lennon would be crucified for chamging the ch pairing.
I cant make my mind up for starting 11..just wish vic could play.
Id start hooper..just about.
He can shift on in summer thou.. Hearts not in it i dont feel
Celtic celtic thats the team for me
Before we decide who we want to play tonight, I think we should establish whether Mr Commons is going to be Good Kris or Bad Kris today… If he’s going to be Good Kris, he should play. If he’s going to be Bad Kris, Charlie should play.
See, this team selection lark is easy…
The Pantaloon Duck – I miss Evil Chris Sutton. (thumbsup)
I can’t imagine that Aiden McGeady will get anything but a great reception BEFORE the game tonight. During it, I’m sure he’ll be treated like every other opposing player. I imagine he wouldn’t want it otherwise.
philvis – I think we all do…
Oldtim67
Okydoky, some nice red wine n good food if I see you there, if not see you in the lounge.
Aiden McGeady looks like a slimmer Jonathan Watson:

Philvis
Remarkably, I find myself agreeing with you….thumbsup!
67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors
Love Charlie myself, a defender that can come out of the back
and start an attack, just dont think he will play tonight.
kikinthenakas – (thumbsup) to you my friend in Celtic. (thumbsup)
Italian media delightedly showing ex World Cup Ref — Byron Moreno being released from a US prison after a 2 year stretch for having 6 kilos of heroin in his underpants .
A much hated man in Italy . His performance in the Italy –South Korea 2002 World Cup match will never be forgotten .
Many Italian pundits have claimed that the Mafia set him up and then told the American polis ..
Italian media reporting that 18 Zenit supporters were arrested in Milan for ” racist behavior “. A further 22 were arrested for theft / criminal damage and being excessively drunk.

murdo must be in his 50s mate surely to old
for a game :-)
Getting in the mood! :D

Kris is good at set pieces as well, and he offers more
in an attacking sense, and we have to take the game
to spartak and not rely on nicking a goal from a set
piece
South Of Tunis – Italian media delightedly showing ex World Cup Ref — Byron Moreno being released from a US prison after a 2 year stretch for having 6 kilos of heroin in his underpants .
How did he try to explain that one to customs?
“No, I don’t have anything to declare, I’m just really, really happy to see you, officer?” (thumbsup)
Anyone got a price on Zheng Zhi for the first goal … ?
Auden McGeady is a great Celticman and should be treated as such.
He was class at Celtic and ensured we were left with an £8m momentous when he left. Respect due and I’m sure will be given…
Hope he gets gubbed tonight obviously but he can come home any time…
!!bada bing!!
