Shakhter seem convinced they will eliminate Celtic tomorrow. Their friendly journalist explained why to Kazak readers today:
“Despite winning comfortably enough in the capital last Tuesday, Celtic remain confident of overturning the deficit in Albion (sic). Getting to the group stage is not a forbidden dream for Shakhter, it is their right as a result of recent domestic success.
“Shakhter have the mining spirit of resilience, respect and strict discipline. Glasgow also has a long mining tradition but Margaret Thatcher closed the mines in the 1980s (!). Since then, Glasgow people lost their previous spirit once and for all.
“Neil Lennon was unprepared and the Celtic defenders unable to do the job in Astana. Just like BATE Borisov, they think they will overcome the result in the second leg. Just like BATE they are still unprepared for Shakhter.
“Albion’s (sic) best managers are from Glasgow, Busby, Ferguson, Stein, Shankley, Dalglish, Moyes, but the current Celtic leadership chose a man from Ireland, Neil Lennon, who is permanently under fire from fans of the “Celts”.
“Celtic have an epidemic of injuries. Stokes, Commons, Forrest, Boerrigter, Kayal and Samaras.
“The referee is from Norway. Scandinavians appreciate a tough fight. The game is a very sensitive, contact, martial arts sport. Svein Moen will understand.
“Before the game in Astana Neil Lennon said Shakhter play a very British style. Why wasn’t he able to find an antidote to this? Maybe he got Shakhter completely wrong.
“Karagandy’s three central defenders are impenetrable. They close down space and do not interfere with each other.
“The “Catholics” refuse to acknowledge that Shakhter did not miss a ball against them in the first leg. They think that because they can from 0-2 down against Inverness they can do the same against Shakhter. This is unacceptable. It will seem more absurd if the Miners open their account in Glasgow.
“In defeating BATE, Shakhter have already eliminated a higher seed than Celtic.”
Leave nothing in the dressing room, Celtic.
Charlotte Fakes
When I started Celtic Quick News in 2004 I had neither contacts nor inside information. I started writing about the accounts, which was hugely consequential but, at the time, largely ignored public information. Soon after the blog gained some momentum this changed. People would come to me with information and views which were used to direct articles.
It only took a matter of weeks to go from zero contacts to having a network of people feeding into the blog.
I have no idea how Charlotte Fakes acquired some of her early information but, with doubts over the matter, it is understandable that the media was hesitant at touching it under the shadow of Leveson.
The Charlotte Fakes story has moved on, recent revelations have nothing whatsoever to do with Mr Whyte’s mailbox. We are now in the territory of cast iron whistle-blower information. She has her own network of people feeding legally acquired information, which the whistle-blower believes is in the public interest to reveal.
Some people in the game have had their snouts in the trough for so many decades a reservoir of resentment has built up against them among those who were once collaborators but are now cast aside. You are reading the fruits of this on Charlotte Fakes.
The only question is, while the rest of the world has a new-found appreciation of the value of whistle-blowers, are ‘all the president’s men’ still prepared to look the other way in Scotland?

BT, I hope big T’s day went well on Friday. I’m still a bit gutted I missed out and it was a cracking day for sclaff baw. I sent the big chap an email to wish him all the best and let him know I’ve not forgotten my promise of a game at Carnoustie as pledged at Aberdour a few months back.
I trust he raised a huge amount of cash for his excellent cause.
Tomorrow is nearly here, cant wait for kick off even if the nerves are a wee bit shredded already.
Celtic bhoy
This is my first since my op in April.
Greenwells what type of fishing and where?
Acgr.
Weather held up and mucho cash raised for spiritaid good child foundation and a further charity that escapes me now..
He certainly hasn’t forgotten. O)
Turkeybhoy
Spot on, our board cannae imagine us without them. Imagine John Lennon. Mr Lawell
Is the upper LL open tomorrow night or will we be a few thousand short of a full house?
I’m sure there’s a map on the site so I’ll go see if I can answer my own question before anyone else does. Three, two, one…….
BT
I take it from they fact you are going means it went well…certainly hope so!
I had some complications and was taken back in last week,had the op two weeks ago , tomorrow. I have to go back in to hospital tomorrow but should be allowed home to get to see the game on tv.
Enjoy it mate you have earned it paradise is a special place to be.
saint stivs is forever 19.
add that to the demographics
your only as old as you feel csc.
Quick question …… if the SFA were ever officially deemed to be unfit for purpose and effectively put in the same plot as their beloved dead club ( which is perfectly feasible given the the weight of incriminating evidence being amassed against them ) ………is there any mechanism currently cemented to oversee the running of the game in this wee best country in the world ? could we continue as an association of sort ? serious question as I really don’t know ……
So before I go to bed, a big thank you for all the kind wishes for Wee Oscar and name changes. Over the next couple of weeks I will get these printed off and put into a nice format and sent to the family, as well as the cash raised.
So for the 125 moniker changes for Wee Oscar, lets highlight some key numbers, although all participants were equally important and gratefully appreciated, as was all the kind wishes and thoughts.
Podium= me (of course as my idea)
50th name change = CaltonTongues#TeamOscar
67th name change = Dan Supporting Wee Oscar
88th name change = pc67…formerlybigmoniker SupportsWeeOscar
100th name change = ulysses mcghee is praying for Oscar
125th name change = 19LisbonBhoy67 is praying for wee Oscar Knox
Thank you to Macanbheatha for inspiring me to do this, with his post

Floodlights on, you see the opposition and your mind is made up that We are going to do them.
——————————-
Ive allways though, Fergus missed one marketing trick, the iconic element.
he could have kept one of the big floodlights, maybe having to reposition it, but kept it all the same, and turned the beams upwards, like you see in America, and created the beacon that drew the celts
from every street in glasgow
Would love to see Upper LL pay at the gate ten pounds tomorrow. Roar it on Bhoys
Count me in as one of the oldies. Still going at 60 years old.
So the upper LL is closed. Still lots of seats available in other areas but I’m glad to see there is not an empty seat in 402.
Even with the few empty seats we can show the world how it should be done. Did anyone watch the PAOK / Shalke game, what was the deal there? Was there a ban on support or do they have some issues we’re unaware of?
45K -50K would look to be about right without doing a full count of the dots, ha ha. I remember someone done that last season for the Juve game. That’s dedication.
Celtic
I am 57 but, tomorrow at 19:45 I will be 17 again roaring on the Hoops.
Night Bhoys.
#Fearless Wee Oscar is on a Celticrollercoaster
Didn’t know that
I hope I have eventually worked out how to change my ainm
Let’s see
Hurrah It worked!

……aye and attracted the Luftwaffe!
CRC, well done on the moniker change idea. It just shows what a great organiser you are. You do realise what that means buddy?
We can chat over a dram in sept about keeping your talent to the fore:-)
Hail Hail bruv.
BT
Hope you don’t find it too much walking and kicking every ball tomorrow. There were two guys got the knee replacement when l was in they were in a lot of pain. I am still trying to get use to sleeping completly and only on my back to avoid dislocation.
Hope you don’t have many stairs to climb to get to your seat. Avoid that lateral movement too.
Evening All ( as George Dixon used to say )
I have been for a wee nap for the last couple of hours as is my want…… by the way I am 19.
I always remember the Boavista home game in the semi final, being very strange as it was a summer night, BlantyreKev mentioned the floodlight thing to me today and I hadn’t thought about it.
They’ll be on the 2nd half when we make it 4-0 in honour of my birthday (now yesterday)
Thanks to CQNers for the kind birthday wishes Ive been receiving via twitter, Facebook and text – all much appreciated.
I posted earlier about us beating the huns 6-2 on my 27th birthday, they panicked started the fateful EBTs and then died ;-) hopefully a quicker death for Shakter tomorrow night without a sheep in sight….

Great stuff!! Always liked Matt Mc Glone. True Celtic Bhoy!!
For you ThommyTheThimmy the war is over :O).
Being of a certain vintage my computer skills are woeful , but there was a link to a wonderful video put up here by a few of the faithful which was taken by a Barca fan during that unforgettable night in November …….. that Barca fan really got it , got us , and had he been born in this part of the world he would undoubtedly be one of us …… he truly captured the essence of all that is Celtic that night and tomorrow will be no different , it will once again appear in all it’s glory ….. maybe one of the kids could resurrect it ……-:))) HH

Love it when a hun tries to tell you about the floodlights. …l usually say l am amazed at that as they weren’t installed untill 1957. Their faces are a picture.
TTT, the floodlights on for the Luftwaffe always cracks me up. That’s a story that is passed from hun father to hun child at the moment of hun conception.
Even when faced with the stark reality of truth they refuse to absorb the truth. The last person to run it past me was a very educated hun engineer. When I burst out laughing and said FFS are you really that dumb, for a fleeting second I saw a look of doubt and confusion on his big contorted coupon.
I love that story / myth / fable / bullshit / hun comfort blanket. It’s such an easy one to open up ripping the pish oota them.
Emerald Green – happy birthday

Celticbhoy, it’s even better when you manipulate them into checking it out themselves. Check their coupons the next time you bring it up.
