Inter have hit a bit of form recently but comments coming out of Milan indicate their visit to Celtic Park is viewed with some trepidation. The stadium’s Champions League reputation remains fresh in the memory, even if the team has been transformed since the last major victory over a truly top team two years ago.
A number of those who will play for Celtic on Thursday will have only seen those great European nights on television. Playing in front of 60,000 Celtic fans will be a new experience. Transforming this support into an energising force is our job. Inter’s first objective will be to frustrate and quieten the crowd. My hunch is that this will be difficult.
We have the line-up confirmed for the CQN11 St Patrick’s Dinner, which is at the Kerrydale Suite on Friday 13 March. Topping the bill for the Q&A is Packy Bonnar, Jock Stein’s last signing, who made his debut on St Patrick’s Day 1979.
Packy’s Celtic and Ireland team-mate, Tommy Coyne, will also be taking part. Tommy had an incredible career and speaks intelligently on football, and life in general. We’re also delighted to have Joe Miller. Joe played in the same Celtic team as Packy and Tommy. Part of our historic Centenary Team, he also scored that unforgettable Scottish Cup Final winner. More recently Joe formed the Association of Former Celtic Players.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Jock Stein’s first game as Celtic manager, which takes place that week, we also have Jock’s personal friend and biographer, Archie Macpherson will speak about the great man. If you’ve ever needed inspiration…..
I’m also delighted to confirm we have Celtic’s First Lady of Song, Patricia Ferns, who is making the journey over from Ireland for our night.
Let me know if you still need a ticket, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Not excusing them, but a lot of Ex Celts in the media, have, what they may see, as justifiable issues with the club.
Murdo, left under strained circumstances, Sutton to. if you work your way through them, there’s very often an axe to grind.
McAvennie, openly stated the club owe him cash just last week on the radio.
Perhaps the media’s recruitment policy is geared to recruit the disaffected, or maybe a lot of our ex players have reason ?

Thanks for your post earlier.
Players and supporters alike have ensured Celtic is a club like no other, we each have a role to play in upholding a pretty special tradition.
Whether playing or supporting from the slopes of Celtic Park we share a responsibility. Both players and supporters are also held to be sufficiently intelligent to appreciate the reality of the wee bit of the footballing world we inhabit. To willfully ignore this or collude with some make-believe is wrong and should be addressed wherever and whenever……
………anything else just supports the scoddish lie.

dena29,
Jim Mervyn. Thank God I have avoided the 7.30 boat though. Yes still a wee bit delicate.
Are you going, and if so what time?
Ard Macha
Yes dont know details yet Dec willt let me know Wed probably
apparently stenna are holding the boat for us on the way home so at least we wont have to wait around for 4 o clock boat like the last two European games
HH
Weeminger,
First viewing I’d say he was. Second viewing, not so much.
The rules say he wasn’t but 5 yards out and two paces to the keepers right is a wee bit interfeery imo ;)
The changing face of Association Football.

But you know how accurate they are!
Think it’s hospitality tickets only for Thursday in the Kerrydale.

How was Rooney not interfering there?
Dena have you recovered yet?!
O yes I was fine I didnt ahemm drink that much
HH
GM – I was the same. Had Rooney been on the other side of the ball, no goal – regardless of whether he touches it.

*I’ll think you’ll find that not all ex-players went to Jock’s funeral or Desmond White’s.
qf-a bhoy said earlier Kerrydale was a corporate gig on Thursday
Kerrydale isn’t open as normal. Hospitality packages only.

U deserve a medal for goin to work today

We’d beat this Man Utd team.
Weeminger/GM
The current rules would probably mean that the goal should stand because Rooney wouldn’t be deemed to be interfering with play.
It was much simpler with the previous rule and easier for referees and linesmen to implement.
I’d be quite surprised if the Kerrydale is open. I’d have thought hospitality opportunities would be being maximised.
James Forrest
By the way yet again you have eloquently expressed what I was trying to think about the decision today.

Unbelivable nonsense on here today
2 fine servants to Celtic,Paddy Bonner and Joe MiIler being called soup takers and w***ers because their view of football in Scotland doesn’t coincide with the self appointed true beleivers
Jeekers lads get a grip
>>
Totally agree. Thought police.
HT,
Aye I know.
But the interfering part of the new rule isn’t all bad imo.
I think the refs cope well with it…it’s us dafties that don’t :)
HH
qf –
The Kerrydale Suite is only open on Thursday to supporters who have purchased hospitality tickets.

I was ok this morning but as the day went on tiredness overtook me. Certainly worth it though youngster, it was good to meet you.
Not watching the Man U game but a friends at the game, great atmosphere apparently, mon utd :>)

That’s what we forget, to some it’s a job, a way to make a few shekels.
And like all workplaces spats, injustices et al, are everyday occurrences.
The fans (short for fanatics….) on here, sometimes expect everyone to match their fervour and opinions. Never going to happen.
dena29
Total admiration for all our Irish supporters .
God bless every one of you.
Though you should try * that 25 min flight from Geordie Best airport, nae time to scratch
yir erse and you’ve landed(though HT managed a power nap)
*This excludes BMCUWP*
Re the EGM venue. Does the Tuxedo Princess still exist? They could sail it up the river and thus avoid the awkward protests.
Weeminger
God bless your optimism, but I don’t think we would stand a chance against man utd
Rooney had to be interfering, keeper canny move until ball passes him as he jumps out the way to let it past, by then too late for keeper to make save
GM
Speak for yersel :-)
Was it Clough that said if a player isn’t interfering with play, he shouldn’t be on the park?
VP
Did I snore?
HT
U too mhate, big Aidan was saying how great a night it was too
Maybe do the same next year
B-)
Beat bhoy
Clough or shankly?
