Someone asked me a few weeks ago if this was a must-win game. Clearly it’s not, the cup games are must-win, as is the coming league game against Aberdeen, but tomorrow night is an important weathervane, indicating if the club is on the road to recovery.
Since that great high against Barcelona, we have faced Italian opposition twice, both in 2013, losing home games 0-3 to Juventus and Milan. You can trace the decline in European performances through a subsequent Champions League group stage which concluded with five defeats, and last summer’s abject qualification campaign.
Indications are we are a better team now than we were in August, or even when qualifying from our Europa League group, but there is still an almighty task ahead tomorrow night. I suspect none of this recent history will affect Ronny and his players. The manager has told the players they can win. Most of them are playing like they have a point to prove, all of them are looking forward to the challenge.
Inter will know they’ve been in a game.

“What a difference a winning streak (against sub-standard SPL sides running on fumes) can make.”

Smsm BS!

Just a response to your miserable post, Ronny is in with the bricks as much as any other Celtic manager as for beating SPL teams running on fumes we can only play who is put in front of us, we play in the Scottish league.
As of this morning we’re still in four competitions, you may not like Ronny or his still but that is the state of play..
Shame you’re not excited about a big game at Celtic Park tonight…

What point is it that you are making?
Are you secretly hoping we get beaten?
Are you ‘champing at the bit’ to start a tirade against Ronny and those who appointed him, first thing tomorrow morning.
You’ll notice it isn’t tomorrow morning.
I’m giving my opinion now. I’ll leave the Monday morning quarterbacking to the usual screechers.
If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly come on here tomorrow for my dish of humble pie – there will be plenty willing to serve it up to me.
Inter will win 3 games in a row for the first time in 2 years if they win tonight.

It really is a good film, but tonight of all nights? have you not converted her to the famous Glasgow Celtic yet ?
For the uninitiated where is CQN corner ?
Do people from here hang about it with flat caps and fags hingin’ from the corner of their mouths , old scarves, never new, and the old clapper/rattle in hand ?
Just curious, as I would like to take a peep before the game tonight. then again too much excitement..
To all of us lucky enought to be going along… Enjoy … HH

John Collins – One wee slip from you since ye returned when ye said that we miss the o## f### games…I’ll blame ‘bored’ puppetry for that one…although…if I was in yer shoes…I’d probably have said the same as ye coz…why should you or I, for that matter battle to discern whithur the huns are died or no…it’s not our call…anyway…all the daft hun stuff apart…yer Celtic ‘class’ has shone through…hopefully it’ll help get RD to where he wants to go with us…I’m sure it will coz…your the real-deal Johnny Collins.
Bye.
Any question about whether we can beat Inter Milan deserves one response:
Can Bradford beat Chelsea?
OK, I’ll take of my Waldorf mask and leave on a positive.
Celtic beat Inter Milan 2-1 in 1967 – year of the sheep.
Today marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year – year of the…
…SHEEP.

Just passed Celtic nation ground – think we could fill it

No point any more – Ronny’s 4-2-3-1 is the truth, the light, and the way.

Not mine buddy. It’s my Bhoys who can’t make it unfortunately. Upgraded to an adult for purposes of passing on.

Isn’t it a joy to see a shortage of tickets.
And no, I’m not PL is disguise!

Just read an interview with Ronny where he’s asked about ’67 game, he said he knows all about it but he’s here to make history, not read about it. I like the cut of his jib…
MWD
My mate has sent a ticket from Dundee but it hasn’t arrived yet. I won’t find out until about 4 if it has. If not I’ll need to give the expectant recipient mine. Can you wait until then D?
new article posted.
No probs HT.
Let me know as soon as you know.

REQUEST.
Just received a text from Tully 57, who is Romania, in a town called Brasov.
He is on a charity trip with friends.
He asks if anyone knows of any bar who may be showing our game.
Thanks in advance.
