The last two teams out of the pots for today’s Europa League draw left to former European Champions. Celtic will face Inter Milan, who they have met twice before in European competition. The teams faced in the European Cup Final in 1967, when Celtic won the tournament, and again in the European Cup Semi-final in 1972, when Inter progressed on penalties after two 0-0 draws.
It’s not the draw I would have handpicked but it’s a great draw from many perspectives. Inter will bring genuinely tier-one talent to Celtic Park, and provide Ronny Deila and the squad with an invaluable chance to test their progress.
The games will take place a few weeks before the 50th anniversary of Jock Stein becoming Celtic manager and set his team on the road to dismantling La Grande Inter. History is made of great stories and no sporting event in history has been so infused by story telling than the first meeting between these clubs.
If all these stories teach us anything it’s to fear no one. Bring it on.
Among many great features, we have an interview with Dixie Deans in the 2015 CQN Annual, see above, who among many things, discusses “that penalty”. Still time to order yours for Christmas.
You can also order the CQN Annual and DVD bundle here. It’s a great offer, check it out – oh, and there’s tons of photos, fresh stories and comment on the first time Inter faced the green and white hoops.

I must have been a jinx.
The Celtic dugs always got gubbed when I was there.
I blamed the ref Dug-gie McDonald
Bomber Brown on Radio Scotland
I’d be extremely embarrassed if he was spokesman for our club ….
The media reporting re Sevco has changed markedly ……Easdale / Ashley and Co being treated as villains …suggestions that Sevco are a reincarnation …no more same club nonsense
Is mark 3 being prepared
Gerrybhoy
I see you’ve been sorted , if anyone else has trouble getting a ticket let me know the offer is there
Would’nt want anybody to miss out .
Things seem to be going well , expect the SFA to throw mighty big spanner in the works to try and deflate/ devide us .
TTT
and a very valid opinion. I am keeping my eye on it. The only fly in your ointment is that Sir David Murray has left a lot of rich people that bit poorer and they tend to get their pound of flesh. Also all parties involved in the 5 way agreement were in on it from the beginning. Hence our reticance towards Resolution 12.

You’re welcome just drop a line here I use this bournesouprecipe@gmail.com for when Jobo or Eurochamps67 try to contact me (⊙_⊙)
Casa Rebelde only have a few Stolen Souls t- shirts left incase anyone is looking to get one
B-)
Mcgeady gets a start to night.
Thanks to those who restored my sanity by confirming that Celtic Dugs played Rangers Dugs every year at Kelvin Hall.
Chievo v Inter Milan just kicking off on BT Sports 1
Jobo,
No offence taken I was only a bit concerned about the consequences of your patellofemoral pain on BSR’s sensibilities.

I’m hearing a deal has been struck for JG and the fee is £3M
Anyone?
SFTB,
No wonder the Celtic dogs always lost.
They must have been about twenty years old.
They were much friskier whenI watche them at the Kelvin Hall in the 50’s!
Whatever happened to the Kelvin Hall Dug money?
i think the sfa s only mad option now is to declare the Mash thing as illegal and disassociate them from the orcs – cococt a new reality -arguing that the spirit of mordor cannot die-
this just gets more fascinating by the day-you can be sure there will be a blockbuster of a movie somewhere down the line-lots of drama with hardly any pitch action-off to lie down
I see I can buy 2 additional tickets with my ST for the Inter match.
Would be happy to help out a good CQNer

Great to hear. Not sure if GB Jr can get the time off work but will certainly get back if he can manage to get there. He works in Stuttgart and is a great Tim, as are many German Bhoys!
TBJ- Good chance NL would have been paid up until he took the Bolton job.
I wonder if Jim Ballantyne will be in the building when Ashley goes to Hampden?
Awe Naw,

I believe that is what the Sevco deal was about.

Howdy sir where have you seen that about the 2 additional tickets for ST holders?

blantyretim.
Booked a hotel room for the game immediately I knew who we were playing,Yes back to the Millenium. One more chance.
Canamalar,0967? is that an age thing,if it is, I’m not as old as that.

Naw, it’s a boots in the boz thing when you catch up with him!

HamiltomTim,
No worries, I was struggling to keep up with the various conversations going on, so if you were, then I didn’t notice.
I had a similar ticketing issue myself and was very disappointed at the attendance as I gave out 5 tickets for yesterday myself.
That is one of the things that will be so good about the Inter game.
A full Paradise.
Think it is time to rewatch the 125 yo birthday Barca game again.

19:40 on 15 December, 2014The Phil story is a bit far fetched. Zombies will be playing out of Kilmarnock/St mirren or who ever
Remember a director at St Mirren was sacked for showing one of Challs’ men the books….

Thank god you’ve no been eaten!

Check out his booking fee before you get too gushy.

Your more than welcome ;))
I’ll be very surprised if its not near capacity
Big Inter keeper saves Chievo 1-on-1 header from 5 yards.
Has a reputation as a penalty saver, Ronny

I would be grateful of those
I think the Cektic dugs were not following the Ronny Deila diet

Wee bit pricey for Jim Goodwin…..

As blantyretim says – tickets available from Wednesday (17th) for ST holders – on website
Eurochamps67
Good man.
Yep, I posted earlier upon hearing the draw that it’ll be great to have a full stadium again under the lights.
Fair play to Celtic for ticket pricing too which should help.
BT
Cheers mate.
Hahaha, every half hour Sky Sports News is now showing footage of the Lions winning in Lisbon.
It’s like some kind of ‘A Christmas Carol’, ghost of Christmas past retribution for every Hun out there.
Dickens couldn’t have written it any better, they’ll all be curled up on the floor tearing at their hair, mewing, ‘make it stop, make it stop…’
Ahhh, karma…
John Greig played in the Rangers dugs team….
Ashley will get a Not Proven verdict from that shower!
Interesting times!!
Craigybhoy back on the scene
