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.

Had a few myself
Peralta,Muller, Cavani, Suarez and Messi
Messi was particularly satisfying as it was with a free bet

@HibernianCFClub: Hibernian FC are delighted to confirm Kenny Shiels as our next manager. More to follow #HFC
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
or perhaps you ‘d rather just hear some other muppet tell us how much scotland and scottish football need the Huns, and proactively go about saving theit cheating a%ses.

Ex Celtic scout Helena Costa resigns from Clermont without playing a game
Snake Plissen
Fair enough but there is a clear restriction of trade that only requires Scottish football ( not Celtic) to challenge legally.
That plus a political will could make it happen. I thought you would be up for a fight.
bada
It’s on the Hibs fishul twitter site.

If true, I think Stubbsy may have dodged a managerial bullet.
I can see the beleaguered Hibs support being totally appeased if Sheils gets it………..not….
News of our lass in Portugal:
Helena Costa: Female coach decides not to fulfil Clermont role
Helena Costa has decided not to take up the role of head coach at Clermont Foot next season, the French club say.
Portuguese Costa, 36, had been the highest-profile female manager to be put in charge of a men’s team in European football when she was appointed in May.
Club president Claude Michy said she had “decided not to honour her commitments”.
“This decision was sudden and surprising,” he added.
Weefra- if true,I’m sure that will pacify the Hibs fans :0

Plenty of off field issues though he is a tidy player.
The Kenny Shiels story is a spoof.
Nothing on Hibs website
BSR
Must be …otherwise Hibs must have seen something in his disastrous spell at Morton that everyone else missed
WeeFra
Just checked, I don’t think that’s the official site mate it’s a bam up :-)

I think he’s a great wee player but you’re right it’s whether he can start behaving off the park that will determine how productive his future will be.

Shiels sacked by Hibs
How refreshing that the blog has somehow returned to politics. I was getting worried with all this football.
Didn’t we sign our young Icelandic striker “The Fridge” from KR?
Lee Dixon
Look at the feet and the nuts ; )

FC Porto have some amount of players at the WC. One wonders how they have debts.
The inability of Scottish football/Celtic to accommodate South Americans ensures that we remain at a disadvantage. Work permit relaxations would not necessarily help us to reach Porto’s level unfortunately.

Did you get my mail?
