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

Just back from Belfast.
What a weekend, it was mental and brilliant all the way through.
A massive Thank You for the amazing hospitality by our Irish hosts Sean, Gerry and Jamesie and it was brilliant to meet all our Irish Brothers and Sisters, everyone a legend to me.
Maximum respect to all the crew who flew and sailed over to Belfast for what was an outstanding Saturday. Everyone was brilliant company, I never thought I’d be singing thisin the centre of Belfast but we were with a few rebels thrown in for good measure!!!!
Bring on the Inter!!!!
Evenin Ghuys…
Cant believe the Kerrydale is not open to the people who really matter and who support the facility week in, week out. Whose decision was it to close it to the real fans, for that’s what they have done.. whats gonna happen when the ‘Corporate’ clients disappear after Thursday night?? People don’t like being overlooked when they’ve been faithful and supported their Club often for years or decades, nor do these people forget.
Disappointing Celtic.
Good evening all.
Just popped in to say I’m delighted the Belfast Hootenanniers had a fantastic time. Maybe sometime in the future I will be able to partake in the festivities with them. Not holding my breath though. Take care all of you. KTF.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.
ps……
Has Bairds re opened yet??
Beatbhoy,
I think so.
Shankley coined it first though.

It would be great to have it as an annual event but possibly on an alternative date :-)

You are walking into a trap set by media Twitter trolls.
Stay positive about Thursday and enjoy the game.
Save your disappointment about Kerrydale until after then. Media are looking for negative spin and Kerrydale story is one they are pinning hopes on. It was documented earlier.

You’d fit right in wee fella :-)

Pretty sure it’s closed for good and is opening up as a furniture store or something like that.
Just realised that Humphrey the ex Motherwell winger is playing for Preston tonight.
Good evening friends. Briefly.

What?.. The Kerrydale??? opening as a furniture store!!! That’s a bloody disgrace… Tell you what, that’s the last I’ll be a Cellic Park.. as if theres not enough furniture stores… AND, they always have a Sale On !!!
Bloody Disgrace.
I don’t see it as a dive folks.
My take is a professional player getting himself out of the way before a goalie takes him out and potentially injures him.
If he doesn’t skip over keepers foot then he was being taken out.
Goalie very rash.

Spot on mate, think of the many games where there is no corporate attending and there is a low attendance.
An own goal from the Club on this occasion.
The Club should stand by the ordinary supporter who goes along and pays for the privilege to drink in the Stadium week in week out. Afterall there are more games that we the ordinary supporter will go along to and pay than there are when the corporate persons turn up.
They make more off us than they will off corporate over the piece.
Own goal.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

I can exclusively reveal that there’s currently only 1 team that all 4 of you have already chosen – Manchester United. So, yes, some of you have got this far without picking (or jinxing?) The Hoops!
Good luck with this week’s selection!

After reading your post, are you advocating just banning the females from alchohol consumption at the game. :)))

Nice interpretation ;)
In case DR reporters are reading, please note that I never said those words. Not that it would stop you printing them anyway.
Rooney dives for a penalty, a ‘a great pro ….’ says Hodgson
WITS/Geordie
Just saw it among some famous Shankly quotes, so seems he was first to mention it right enough.
Did spot another Cloughie one:
“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I wasn’t on that particular job”.
Jimmynotpaul, aye he skips over the keepers leg and throws himself to the ground, no need to go down other than he wasn’t getting the ball
Jimmynotpaul
Sorry mate.
The best way to avoid media spin and negative comment is for the club to stand by the support who put their money into the Kerrydale every home game.
As I said earlier. A cynical money making excercise that may end up costing money from hacked off punters

Wits – to be fair to me I was talking about that specific set of players before Falcao went off. They were rubbish and offered nothing.
The BBC will never say an English player dived
That was a dive

Disappointed with Rooney, after watching several re-runs, it was a dive and he knew exactly what he was doing….sad.
