The next 19 days sees Celtic in action against Hearts twice, Leipzig twice, Hibs (tomorrow) and Dundee, the latter the only prosaic occasion among them. How we negotiate this period will go a long way to determine our domestic and European season.
Brendan will almost certainly rest Tom Rogic after his midweek trip to Kuwait but with five days until we face Leipzig, I expect a full strength team for the visit of Neil Lennon’s side.
Hibs are above us in the league for a reason, they have lost only twice this season (once domestically and once in Europe) and have the best goal difference in the league. They did very well home and away against us last season and Neil will ensure his team have no concerns about visiting Celtic Park this term.
The players know the scale of the challenge ahead, which should bring the best out of them. A sneaky feeling we might end the weekend top of the league too.

Anyone buzzin for tomorrow’s match?
This will be our toughest home league game this season. We need our Perth form from the off. Neil Lennon knows how to beat us. Hibs will be set up accordingly. This match is huge.
Mon the Hoops!

DD, Wee Leigh is unwell but I’m not too worried. We have plenty other potential goal scorers. I just hope they are fully up for it. I’m sure they will be. 60k at Celtic Park against NL and Hibs. You couldn’t ask for a better scenario.

Brendan Rodgers has revealed Leigh Griffiths is ill but could still play for Celtic against Hibs on Saturday.
The striker missed training on Friday after pulling out of the Scotland squad due to fitness issues.

Your wee namesake scored 4 in his last match.
I would accept 2 goals from James tomorrow. ?

Hope Lenny takes a dive tomorrow, disguised by a 4-2-4 formation. We need the 3 points.
David17 Wishful thinking! Ha Ha.

Nae chance. The Armagh Bhoy plays to win. Regardless the opposition.
There’s only one Neil Lennon.
Hope his team get pumped tomorrow.

Love Jim’s Hymns you post.
Do you have a Hail Glorious Saint Patrick, dear Saint of our Isle video hymn. My favourite that I sang with gusto, when MacJay’s mum played it beautifully on the grand organ in Saint Paul’s Whiteinch.
Happy Days

Your Dad sounds like a good fella. I like when Tims come from a rich variety of backgrounds. It helps us to develop as a support and to learn about important things like respect.

What a pathetic looking coupon.
Usually the type of coupon that stoats.
Getting on that wi a wee sky diver. Thanks.

Can’t wait for the game tomorrow, loved the battle of the greens ever since the early 70s when we beat them 6-2 and 6-3 in two finals IIRC. I was at both with my sisters.
Also lived in Edinburgh for 15 years so have a load of Leithie friends. Was at the game at Easter Road when that thug Souness sliced George McCluskey’s leg open.
Everybody I know is predicting goals but I think it’s going to be tight.
Only a foot would predict etc etc.
Being a fool, I predict 2-1 us.
Foot? That’s a fool who can’t spell.

DD,
Here is Shotts St. Patrick’s Brass band playing a march called Terry. It’s in 4 parts:
Intoduction
Hail Glorious St. Patrick
Bass Solo
Terry my blue eyed Irish boy.
Not quite a hymn as such but a right good wee tune. They all love it when we all go to the seaside every June. About 5,000 of us. Giving it laldy in the main streets of Ayr and Burntisland. Some people call it the Catholic ‘Walk’

My first cup final was Celtic 6 Hibs 1.
Love Hibs games.
Stayed in Edina Place off Easter Road for 3 years mid 80s. Trainspotting era. Embra was more mental than Glesca then. Smack attacked Leith heavily. Sad to witness at the time.

Do you like our banner? St. Patrick on one side and Our Lady on the other. This is us at Ayr.

Delaneys Dunky: Has Thunder Road been in touch with you?
DD,
It would be great to meet up but I’m driving up to Forres after the game and back on Monday. I need to check on my house as I haven’t been in Forres for the last 7 weeks.
We’ll definitely sort something out for the next home game. ??
This is us coming home on the special train.

I was at both Cup finals against Hibs but my favourite game against the Hibees was as a 13 year old Bhoy in November 1968, St Andrews Day, at Easter Road.
We were losing 2-1 with 11 minutes to go and then scored 4 goals in 5 minutes to win 5-2 – great days indeed.

Cannae wait to see The Charlatans at Hydro in December. Listening to all their albums tonight. What an underrated band they were.
Genius lyrics and geetah riffs. Bit of keyboards for added beautiful weekend soundtrack.

Not been in it since the eighties, I was five then.??????

*The Rev Ian Miller at Bonhill Parish Church was a die-hard Celtic supporter, it was he that traced Neilly McCallum’s grave in the parish cemetery. He has said that growing up in Kilbarchan he like his pals followed deidco until he was old enough to understand what their support was really like and so turned tae us. He is also a lifetime member of the CND which would go down nicely in an area formerly known as “Little Moscow”.
Bonhill Parish Church in the 50s had a minister there who it is reckoned paisley modeled himself on, a demagogue and brought the tangerine walks tae the Vale. The Rev Miller a good man apart fae supporting us is a breath of fresh air since then.
Incidentally if my memory serves me well there was an Icelandic minister who would fly in tae see us at one time.
Anyone recommend a Celtic Bar in Krakow to watch tomorrow’s game ?

Edinburgh was mental in the 80s. The smack problem was colossal. I stayed in Iona Street off Easter Road for 2 years around 1983 and it was easier to buy a £10 wrap than it was to get a pint of milk.
Also some of the worst football violence I ever saw – which is saying something – was around that wee metal bridge at the back of Easter Road.
The Hibs Casuals were a nasty, nasty lot.

Magic tune thanks.
