It’s a bit frustrating being so close to qualification for the knock out stages last night before a momentary lapse cost us late in the game, but there were plenty of positives. 60 minutes into last month’s game at Celtic Park against Astra, taking four points from them looked very ambitious. We played considerably better last night in the corresponding home game, or in the home game against Dinamo Zagreb.
Celtic are functioning better in midfield, while defensively they’re also looking solid. We acknowledged some weeks ago that without Guidetti or Commons we would struggle to create and execute chances, and so it proved.
With Anthony Stokes also out the picture, Leigh Griffiths got the nod to replace Stefan Scepovic and instantly brought some drive to the forward line. He was unfortunate that his ‘goal’ was disallowed for a debatable infringement, but he just brings the kind of purpose inside the box that we didn’t have until his arrival.
We’re now four games unbeaten in this competition, and we’re improving. The evidence suggests that Salzburg have also improved since we took a point from them on match day one. Last night’s result in Zagreb was impressive, but Salzburg will face their stiffest test of the group at Celtic Park.
Still fancy our chances of winning the group.

Regarding the Sevco game I suggest those attending say nothing in the 1st minute just a big R*ng*rs RIP banner and to a mhan stand in a minutes silence for them :))) then roast them for the other 89:))
But I honestly fear when our 3rd goal hits the net they will go from denial to anger in an instant and riot it’s the way they deal with things.

You’re right of course, but it’s sometimes worth remembering that the posters are just airing their views, hopes and frustrations too. Some does go beyond the pale though.
Zico Maltese bhoy, your niece is in my prayers.
Good result tonight for us with Utd losing to Motherwell. A win in Aberdeen will set us up nicely.
Two big games in the Europa and 2 (dons & utd) in the league + the cup game at swinecastle. cannot wait.
Mullet finally gets a win then. Oh hang on…..

I’ll take a stab …
I will say that our fitness looks better that it has in some time…. as someone said earlier, LG looks much leaner and sharper.
And EI looks like he is getting back to his good old form.
Although he has gone off the boil a bit recently, young McGregor looked brilliant to start (and not sure he would have gotten the same run under NFL)…
and I can see what RD is trying to do, and think there is much to like about, and there is potentially much more upside to a RD team than a NFL team …
so, lots to be positive about (and, as most who know me would say, I’m a grumpy old git… so RD cant be all bad!)

James McLean writes an open letter on the Wigan Athletic official site saying why he won’t wear a poppy.
He hasn’t forgotten !
Just a question guys for the old timers….i was at the 4-0 scottish cup final…3-0 halftime…anyone think we took our foot off the gas that day…i do…ow by the way..i was 13…can still remember what i was wearing…white shirt ..gold slipover..green flares..green and white scarf with a ST Patricks medal pinned on it …mental…
Zagreb must win at Astra or we are through
They Croat dudes couldn’t beat Ronny’s lonees at CP, and so many experts telling us how rank rotten we are…I mean, how crap must Zagreb be?!!!
It’s Celts and Salzburg into next stage without any bother to the PT instructor diddy guy
Then we won’t be able to move on here without tripping over spat-oot dummies and discarded rattles…
Zico-Maltese Bhoy
A wee prayer to St Jude shortly for your niece

thoughts with you and yours..
doc
yes, he stated his case well, would like to think that has drawn a line under the affair but no doubt if he is in the team next Friday the scoddish press will put him in the spotlight more than aiden and James McCarthy !
