Hibs, Zagreb, Atalanta’s Celtic blot

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Hibernian arrive at Celtic Park tomorrow in the elevated status of not being bottom of the league.  Two added time equalisers against Aberdeen and a 0-3 win at Motherwell a week ago were enough to pitch them above bottom side Hearts.  Like Glasgow, relative status is more important than absolute status in Edinburgh.

After a draining top of the table clash on Wednesday, and with a game in Zagreb on Tuesday and a cup final the following weekend, Brendan Rodgers will surely rest some of his key players for this one.  Luke McCowan, Adam Idah, James Forrest and Liam Scales should all be hoping for a start.

Dinamo Zagreb are at home tonight against midtable Slaven Belupo, so have an extra day’s rest ahead of the Celtic game.  This should be a comfortable win for Dinamo, after three difficult games: a home defeat to Dortmund and two league games against the sides above them in the table.

A consequence of that run is that it has been four weeks since Dinamo scored a goal and longer still since they won a game.  Let’s hope confidence has taken a hit.

Our earlier Champions League opponents Atalanta are on an incredible run of results, winning 11 of their last 12 games, the best the Bergamo club have ever achieved.  They sit second in Serie A, a point behind Napoli, whom they beat 0-3 in Naples last month.

There is a sense in Italy that this could be their season.  The game they didn’t win during that run was, of course, home to Celtic.  Distance does not make the achievement that night seem any less impressive.

    I will remember Setting Free The Bears as one of the first and one of the best contributors to this website. Very proud Celtic supporter who knew a lot about football. On top of that I will remember him as a gentleman and a family man. True and honest friend. It was my privilege to have him and Shirley here last year.

     

    Rest In Peace, Tony.

    The fact that SFTB has ZBYSZEK coming back onto this site says it all.
