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.

Coulson carries the can.
Kinda calls into question Cameron’s judgement again.
I wonder if the judge will now say something about Dave’s comment in support of Brookes which almost caused the trial to be abandoned?

‘Craig Gordon is a bad person’
##
No one has said that.
Some have questioned whether he’s an appropriate signing target.
Different thing.
Ernie…I paraphrased……
But your version is even worse…! He’s not a good signing target because he tried to get a result for the team he was playing for???
A lot of time spent on here, dreaming up reasons to hate people. I seem to remember people questioning Gordon Strachan’s credentials because of how he played for Aberdeen.
Like I said. Oh dear………….
Aye ye kin see ye hid some qualities
Yuv jist furgoat where ye left thum
See ye thursday;))
Frank Haffey,
If my memory serves me well big Frank was taking a free kick from the left hand side of the box. Tried to pass to Dunky McKay and it ended up in the net, ball had never left the box and was therefore not in play, so retaken..

Maybe Keano was informed that Celtic wanted to speak to other candidates and this was too much for his ego so asked not to be considered
