“Old Firm game for Wembley”. Heaven help us. I don’t doubt International Champions Cup owner, Charlie Stillitano, has a sharp eye for what he could turn into a commercial success, but there can be fewer worse ideas in the history of sporting endeavour.
So many things could go wrong with such a fixture, some would go wrong, and the contagion would spread to Celtic. There’s no mention in any coverage of this item that Celtic have been consulted at any level, so I’m assuming they were as surprised as the rest of us at the moment (they were at a similar suggestion of a game in Australia a few years ago).
Stillitano cites hosting Manchester City-Manchester United in Beijing later this year as being something of an approximation. It’s not. I suggest he looks to somewhere deep in the Monglian hinterland for a venue for a Glasgow derby of this nature. Even then I would decline.

Not very Christian of you Jobo .⚽️
I’m too young to remember the game although I seem to remember wee Jinky sitting on treatment table showing his black and blue legs after the disgraceful treatment from them
Timbhoy3 – Im sure ifd you scroll through the freeview channels it’s there somewhere. Or if you have Virgin I think it’s 548.
Timbhoy3
If you have Freeview its CH59
I reckon Bayern need to score here,if there’e one
side in Europe who can defend a 1-0 it’s AM.
NYE Bevan,
Did you make Sunday, my back went and wiz also full of the cold, seems I missed a belter of a match :-)
Hail Hail the Celts are Here!
I am watching Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich in the European Cup semi- final.
I played in four semi final games. We won three of them. Two against Leeds and the other against Dukla Prague. The other one was a draw in Prague when we sat in and got the job done.
I have just seen a photograph of that night at the final whistle. We had just got Celtic to the European Cup Final. We were all delighted!
We were on the road to Lisbon!
Wonderful memories.
Jobo
I was just about to say the same thing, albeit less eloquently.
Regards Ashley and king
There’s an old saying.
Money talks / bullshit walks
In a court of law this is normally the case .. if you hire the best legal brains at the relevant cost you can get away with murder
Shirley big mike wants a result here and his counsel will get that for him
Timbhoy3
It’s on my freeview channel 818
Just scroll through till it comes up BT showcase
If you’re playing Atlético, your first touch better be absolutely spot-on or you’re losing that ball.
Bayern struggling to make a dent in them.
As it’s half time, here’s a wee reminder of 1974…

Good evening Celtic legend.
In your opinion who do you think will take the managerial hot seat ?
Tommy, nice to see you on.
In the learn something new every day, i just saw this week that two Tommies actually scored the goals in Lisbon.
did you know that allready ?

Tommy Gemmell

Was Dukla the best side you played against on the way to the final in ’67?

Nail on head. I hope Ronny has named those players to DD and they are removed ASAP.
Otherwise they will start the same keech with the next manager if he has similar views to Ronny on fitness, diet and professionalism. I still think he should have ditched the champions of the irn bru and chips squad at the beginning rather than trying to convince them.
Myself and a few of my mates thought at the time that he was making a rod for his own back by letting them away with it.
TinyTim from earlier.
No mate, not me at the Etihad.
I’ve only met a couple of guys from CQN so far, something I’m looking to improve on soon.
As per the throat cancer question, definitely not me although I do have a cough at the moment. Thanks for asking though, I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight !!

I think Pep could do with you over there tonight.
Some of those Germans could do with a boot in the arse!
TOMMY GEMMELL.
Hope you are feeling a lot better.
My granda Joe took me to the games when I was young and constantly raved about your goodself.
Great to see your moniker and hopefully auld Joe will be looking down and raving about his grandson conversing with a legend. Hail Hail
Jobo,
I’m with you. Never seen such hacking. Absolute scum.
Having said that, they look the better side tonight.
And Lineker steals my Saúl patter!
That can’t be good!
Tommy
What a great surprise. Never had a chance to partipate on the blog with you previously.
Hail hail & you were my old boss’s insurance mhan.
He was in IT
Take care

I’m just really disappointed we are losing this dude – Hopefully not.
He came in and straight away he said a few things were not good enough.
Celtic isn’t a mickey mouse Club. It is a team that has Won the Biggest prize in Club fitba.
No offence to Paul67 but his insistence on KC being some sort of mega player was nonsense.
Neil Lennon was forced to build his team around KC because he was not Supported enough by the Board.
KC, and sentiment should never come in to it, has never been a CL player, it is nonsense to suggest he ever has been.
Every proper, as real a deal, CL player has been Sold. We are left with the ones wanting it Easy – God Bless Kieran Tierney.
Tommy Gemmell,
A.Madrid better team first half, Bayern may wake up second half.
A Big Tam special there off the bar from Alabar for Bayern!
Pech!
What a shot… A Tommy Gemmel special.
BEATBHOY…
Are you a typist :)))

Why doesn’t predictive text misfire when you want it to?
