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

Let me understand this. The Kerrydale used to be reserved for the posh seats. However the club realised that opening up to ‘normal’ punters could generate some extra pre and post match revenue.
Now some people feel entitled to it and chuck the toys out the pram when it’s put back to its original use for one game.

The crowd in Ronnie Drews bar last night after the gig, were exceptional Irish Tims. The singing and huddle magic.

This weekend was magical m8ty, Thank You for just being cool as feck. How we managed to find that pub, where we walk in and the Big Man was sitting with the away Celtic top on, well, sipsini is right I reckon. They then make sure we don’t walk through total hun areas with our Green shirts unable to be hidden. ;))
The Aus Pink Floyd wurnae too shabby either. :)

Glad we did the murals by taxi today. I had never been in Shankill before today. Their murals to serial killers is contrasted to Republican murals of the victims. I found that very sinister.

Sounds like a grand time by all.
I’ll make sure I don’t miss the next one. Kip time for me. HH

The SPFL can’t even be consistent on their site.
They’ve got Sevco down as Rangers, of course, founded 1872.
Yet Airdrie, whose demise Minty contributed to, are down, accurately, as founded 2002.
Then they include their honours, Second Division champions, 1975/76!!!
How do they travel to their games?
A fukcin’ Tardis???

Never heard the saying
“Goin baws oot”?
A wee example :
You: I’m gonnae stick 50p ea way oan red rum
Me : naw, I’m goin baws oot an stickin a £1 on the nose :-)
Weeminger,
Not quite
The Kerrydale used to be reserved for posh seats – Correct
But then they stopped renewing / buying posh seats
At which point Celtic refurbished & opened up to the masses – but only because the posh folks didn’t attend.
If posh folks had shown same loyalty as ordinary punters it wouldn’t be an issue
clashcitybhoy
Well said.
The corporates beggared off and we have a big game so they’re back.
The club will only prosper if consideration is given to the faithful not the once or twice a season glory hunters
Delaneys Dunky,
Yes, Bruce was most excellent in his knowledge, I reckon he could have and would’ve continued the tour for another couple of hours.

I disagree “some people” dont feel entitled to it however imo those who stopped using the facilities did so of their own choosing when ordinary punters stepped up to fill the void they are rewarded with it being removed because the original walk away punters decide they are entitled to it again.

I’m not going to lie to you, it was a brilliant time. ;))
Looking forward to the next one.
beatbhoy,
Rest assured if Sevco go down the pan they will use the old club/company bollocks again.
It won’t be questioned.
Derry City are the exact same.
If you mention liquidation to them they dismiss it out of hand.
Recieved a text earlier from midfield maestro, to let me know that his dad passed away this evening, peacefully.
I don’t want to post his name, but I’m sure all prayers and thoughts for him and his family will be welcomed.

Just maybe the poshies buggered off to the cheaper seats when the recession hit and they couldn’t afford the posh seat any more, try thinking first

If you’re going to be outside the pools office before the game we can sort it then big guy. If not I’ll send you my number before Thursday.
The club will be quick to hand over League Cup Final tickets to a Glasgow gangster…….. sorry entrepreneur, with strong links to Sevco,for corporate gigs, to make a few extra quid
petec,
Sorry I never got to meet you pal.
I have a wee thing for you.
If you text me your address I will forward it to you.
Failing that, I will give it to you when we meet.

Your mate Iain is a good guy, Stevie too. Had great weekend with them.
midfield maestro,
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. God Bless.

That’s awful news please pass on our condolences mate. I’ll say a prayer tomorrow and light a candle on Wednesday.

Did he tell you the BT ( not blantyetim, british telecom ) story?

It’s Charlie Nicholas who does the thinking bud, not me.
However, I have thought about this KDS thing and quite honestly , having thought about it , am in complete disagreement with you.

Re; The Kerrydale Suite..
Posh Vs Public..
Corporate Vs ‘Costumers’..
Fans Vs Supporters..
When l was 11 Yrs old l worked on a Ice Cream Van..around the Schemes of ML4 and The Whifflet..
Most Schemes were then Council Houses..we would stop there and around 20 Kids out buying Fags..Cones..Sweeties for the rest of the Family or getting Tick as they were All Regulars..
Then we would Stop at the Posh scheme/Bought Houses..Lucky if you got 1 or 2 costumers at each stop and funnily enough mostly Parents came out..
Later in life l moved to Torquay worked in a Pub..You know that English saying the The Scottish are ‘Tight’ we would take in more Money in the Glasgow Fayre that we would take in the Rest of the Summer..
Maybe Celtic should compare the Bar Takings to decide who they Want in the Kerrydale Suite..
Sorry if this sounds like a Rant but..Just Saying..

if you had bothered to read my previous post , you would see that I had considered that possibility.
If you are going to insult bloggers with comments like ‘try thinking first ‘ , you should do your research …first

I dont see how that adds to the argument ……..
the fact still remains that when the KDS wasnt being used for its original use other fans stepped up and are now being moved aside for those who decide that for this game only they would like to use the facilities
I have thought about it …………..and dont like it

DD,
Don’t be telling the lads in Dalmuir you were up the Shankill!
Been in it a couple of times myself.
You get a kind of GIRFUY feeling when you are there and the don’t know who/what you are.
Got a taxi driver to take me up part of it on my way to Solitude and my boy had the Hoops on.
Great feeling.;-)

Why wouldn’t they? It’s worked before, eh?
