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. CultsBhoy loves being 1st forever & ever on

    Commons has more dimensions to his game than Mulgrew. However Mulgrew does what he does very well.

     

    For me Commons bit more at home on the European stage than CharlieBhoy.

     

     

    One of many tricky picks..

     

     

    Watt Hooper and Sami the key players tonight

  2. We owe Aiden big time.

     

     

    The great Jimmy McGrory could not have been any more selfless than Aidie, in working WITH Celtic to maximise the club’s benefit from his moving on.

     

     

    You are a Celtic HERO, Young Mister McGeady.

    Enjoying The Fear on Channel 4 with Celtic fan Peter Mullen,superb as usual in the lead role.

     

     

    ================================

     

     

    Yup – been watching it too – intense and absorbing, but sometimes uncomfortable, acting as usual from Peter. Looking forward to the next two episodes, but they will have to be via the old Sky + box – I’m sure I have something else to do this evening…

     

     

    Off oot to the lunchtime x-Bikes class at the Time Capsule – fingers crossed for later.

    just like to wish mr messi all the best tonight in his quest to overtake gerd mullers scoring record.

     

     

    No better place to do it than in front of your own fans in the champions league.

     

     

    Infact its about time you got yourself a hat~trick to dedicate to your son.

     

     

    Go on wee man you know it makes sense.

    bt

     

     

    Missed your post due to me having to do some work!

     

     

    How is Marco doing?

     

     

    Improving I hope.

  6. Chucky Green surely can’t believe that renaming Sevco the Rangers International Football Club will allow them to play in the European Championships and World Cup qualifiers.

  7. Good luck to the Bhoys tonight! Gutted I can’t make the game but ticket not going to waste so all good. Whatever the result Europe after Xmas not to be sniffed at, not when it’s only the 5th time in 32 years.
