Celtic will play KR Reykjavik in the Champions League second qualifying round with the first leg taking place on either 15or 16 July. Celtic are provisionally at home for the first let – but don’t book your flights until arrangements have been confirmed.
KR beat Glentoran 3-0 on aggregate in last season’s Europa League qualifying campaign before losing 1-3 home and away to Standard Liege. The Icelandic season continues throughout the summer, KR played a league game yesterday and have another three competitive games before meeting Celtic. Nine games into the league campaign they are three points off the pace.
From what I can tell, it looks like they have a grass pitch at their 3300 capacity stadium, which removes the big complaint from last season’s qualifiers.
This is a good tie for Celtic, who will be physically stretched by a mid-season team, but we’ll be strong favourites.
We were last in competitive action in Iceland against Valur in 1975, when a 0-2 win out there preceded a 7-0 victory at Celtic Park.

Unless the gamblers are complete morons I would imagine step 1 of How to Fix a Football Match is don’t pick any top league or high profile match.

I’m sharing a room with acgr on the golf day, although not playing, we will be leaving acgr’s car at my brothers on the Saturday in Dalgety bay before heading to the pool tourney.
It’s only ten mins from Aberdour, a lift too kirkaldy would be most appreciated.

“Good draw for Celtic. No excuses please. ”
I detest comments like the above. Pathetic.

DD,
It’s nice to see you saying mammy, that’s what I always called my mammy, never understood why my sisters took to calling my mammy mum, hope that makes some sense.HH
!!bada bing!!
FF, along with the injured Oxlade-Chambelain, will be the only players to get no game time for England.
At least he’ll be fit and fresh for Reyjkavic game in 3 weeks.

God bless your Wee Celtic mammy.
In my thoughts & prayers.

Well said, and that’s why I’m delighted that the first World Cup to be held in South America in 36 years is turning out to be such a footballing treat.

Aye wee Molly pretty frail these days, advanced Alzheimer’s, but she can still slap me roon the ear ha ha,
Catch up furra pint on yir return. Stick tae the Guinness ower there stay aff the Foster’s :)
What I don’t understand is why all those great teams in Scotland’s most exciting league were not involved in the draw for Champions League and Europa League qualifiers today.
Shurely shum mishtake?
Bwahahahaha !!!
Beatbhoy
If you were a fitba player whom by the grace of God was playing in Brazil in a World Cup finals. Would you try your very best? I would. What a buzz it must be for all they players oot there.
Delaneys Dunky
God Bless Yer Mammy, she will be in the Starry prayers the night..
Delaney’s, I hope you mammy makes a full recovery. It sounds a horrible condition. If she’s as much a fighter as Weefra’s mum, she’ll pull through no bother.
Regarding the footballing brothers, Cathkin’s Derek & Darren Young at Aberdeen.
I don’t know if John McGinn played with his brothers, Paul & Stephen while they were at St Mirren.
They’re not Scottish but the Dutch have plenty, one’s called Ronald the other’s called Frankthe, the Van Der Kerkhof twins plus Ronald & Erwin Koeman.
The Boateng half brothers, Jerome and Kevin.
Marspapa, good man.
Have you had any news on tee times yet?

I cannae imagine a better stage for a footballer to strut his stuff than a World Cup in Brazil, apart from a CL night in Paradise, of course!
I would like to think I’d bust a gut out there for my country, but, if you’d ever seen me attempt to play the game, you’d laugh at the very idea!
The crowds are providing an atmosphere for top players to thrive in, I think.
All the best for your mother, amigo.
