Iceland calls

806

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.

    That Hulk is finding it exceedingly difficult to score tonight ….. But not Fred …hahahahahahaha

  3. beatbhoy,

     

     

    The defending leaves a lot to desire.

     

     

    Still, the forward movement is an art and a joy to watch, as it was when I was a kid in seventies World Cup watching with my older brother.

     

     

    A wee thought…did anyone else have an older brother that when it came to football or dummy fighting you were always the underdog?

     

     

    I was always the red Indian, German soldier or the Japanese soldier, football wise, I was the duff teams, then again he knew better than to try the hun mob…smelly football socks in his pillow slips. ;))

    Yes, yer mammy is well qualified to go the distance, as is my wee maw. Ye cannot beat Clydebuilt. She was born a govanite, and proud to be one, and will die a govanite. My wee maw just loves govan. At 94 she is doing great. How many 68 year old pensioners can say their going to see their mum. Yer mammy will have the ole govan fighting spirit which no one can take from them. :-)))

  9. Linden Arden Stole The Highlights on

    What a player that Fred is! Obvious why he’s first on Scolari’s teamsheet. Now, let’s see if Hulk can beat the offside trap too…

    prayer said for her tonight mucker

    Was gob smacked when I was reading back the posts earlier and seen your post you had me rushing to check.

    I’ve already apologised, sorry if you missed it. Never been so embarrassed in my 9 years on here. Sorry bud.

  13. Full repertoire from Neymar now, while centre back gives the ball away right in front of the Brazil penalty area. It’s just like the old days!

  14. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Fred only gets a game because he,s got compromising photo,s of big Phil up the Manaus ludge wi the lama.

     

     

    FACT

  15. Weefra

     

     

    No need to apologise mate and certainly no reason to be embarrassed, that ref in the Mexico game just failed to spot a stonewall pen now that was embarrassing

  16. Evening all

     

     

    Just in from work and haven’t had the chance to read back. Anybody else receive a letter from Fergus McCann? Encouraging me to renew my season ticket as I haven’t yet

     

     

    I’m quite touched but I feel I should

     

    point out to him that I did renew it. Either that or Celtic took £204 out my account for the good of their it’s health.
