When they dispensed with Unai Emeri last weekend, Spartak Moscow brought to an end an experiment to bring sophistication to their team. New caretaker manager, Valeriy Karpin, was manager immediately before Emeri, was also the man who appointed Emeri and stood over him as general manager of the club since moving from the dugout in the summer.
Karpin relies more on his strong, authoritative, personality than tactical innovation, which is likely to mean we face a more disciplined team in Glasgow next week that we faced in Moscow – there will be no brothel at the back.
My main concern is that the Kilmarnock/St Johnstone/Inverness tactics of defending solidly and taking their chances when going forward is perfectly suited for Karpin’s Spartak. Against Benfica and Barcelona at home, Neil Lennon played it tight and incredibly tight respectively, which proved to be excellent decisions. He has a huge call to make against Spartak, playing an adventurous game could leave us exposed.
This result is not to be taken for granted.
CQN Annual – perfect Christmas present
It was some comfort to see Celtic back on form last night, especially down the flanks, which were crucial in Moscow and could prove to be so again next week. Hopefully the knocks and strains which have hampered the squad in recent weeks are beginning to fade ahead of our Christmas Cup Final.
Fancy writing an article for the next edition of CQN Magazine, due out after the Spartak game? Get in touch, celticquicknews@gmail.com.

So as I promised to BT, Richie and WDH tonight,I said how I would write how became a Tim.
It will be up shortly but remember the first bit is memories of before I was born.
Hail Hail
Estadio
swatson, Its impossible to get total unanimity on any subject, we are all Tims on a great Celtic site talking to each other every day and we can’t agree with each other. The song debate reminds me of a trip a few years back, there was about 40 of us over staying in the Hotel near The Scotia Bar. We had a traditional band with us and after a good few bevvies were belting out a good few Rebel Songs, we were singing for about an hour and no one seemed bothered at all…. A Scottish Lassie came up and asked us to sing “The Fields of Athenry” so obligingly we struck up the tune, within a minute or so we were closed down, Management had received a complaint.
Just had a wee squint at zombie media… On a post about renaming ibrokes.
Amongst other delusions of grandeur i noticed
” can the crown sponsor football stadia …. ”
Surely a timperloper having a larf

I know of the guy you on about now . Never had the pleasure of being introduced to
him tho- HH.
As Mrs TET is in cleaning mode,and too busy to cook, I was sent out for a piza, when I walked into the bar, a massive Real Madrid bar, where were you last night, we had the game on, what game asks mi, the Celtic de Glasgow game……..they loved it, they were blown away by the support.
Seems after we humped Barca they just can’t get enough……
Little inroads all over the world :>)

CRC, looking forward to it, permission granted and the 10th booked as a holiday.
A good protest for the GB if they want publicity.
Turn up dressed as the keystone cops with hats, tunics, whistles and rubber truncheons.
Beat each other about the head in a slapstick style, they would get good publicity and also save Glasgow’s finest a job into the bargain.
The boy jinky.
Will do. Jc was reminiscing about games he went to with yourself last week.

Hows About they just support Celtic
Just reading back a bit, what is the story with the Rangers International, is it a new company registered at Ibrox, or is it a renaming of The Rangers?
CRC, too far;-)
DJBEE- brilliant idea- but I think that Salmonds camera crew were first to try that
Getting really concerned for BT.
At the end of the day a job is just not worth it!
