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?

Twists I .remember my first european game my dad and my uncle charlie took me and my older brother to see celtic play dynamo kiev
Your namesake was outstanding that day and I vividly remember my uncle charlie saying after 15 min “burns is definitely in the mood tonight”
Big rambo mcinally was upfront but I think we only managed a 1-1 draw
Hope my score prediction is wrong but I can’t see celtic keeping a clean sheet
That looked good before I posted it…honest :-)))
Thunder Road
Thoughts and prayers , lost my auld Da in between the 2 Liverpool games in 2003 , sang a few wee songs of his after the victory at Anfield , hope you can do the same tonight .

You attacked my posts.
I never heard or read of you before tonight, until you have a go at me for…
For declaring I’ll be BACKING Celtic and giving the mineshafters grief for their negative fantasies!
So I reply and you decide you don’t like that? You think I’ve no right to go against the current fad for bashing the Hoops’ operation? You think that Neil Lennon’s words today were empty?
Jeez.
Dear oh dear.
You accused Celtic fans on the blog of bleating. I suggested you were the one doing the bleating. You then launched into accusations whereby I and others were aiming vitriol at Celtic. I asked you to repost an example. You then accuse me of attacking you for backing Celtic, I have done no such thing.
The theme running through your posts seems to be your idea that somehow you are a gallant defender of all things Celtic against our enemies. When I’m reading the blog and people are putting forward coherent, sometimes eloquent arguments showing concern for aspects on the running of our club, I think of Celtic supporters concerned at the running of our club. You seem to see them as the enemy.
So do you get the idea? You post something on the internet I don’t agree with, so I respond to what you have actually written. It is then your prerogative to counter that but it might be an idea to respond with something that hints at you having read my post.
Unew
Fingers x’d bud.
One of my earliest European Tie’s was Atletico Madrid……I am sure you’ll remember that one!!

Get the medicine into you bag now before you forget it.
I’m down the club with my dad at 10 to give the beer lines a clean. I’ll get him to drop me at station when done.
Phone later..
So far i think our squad is suited alot more to europa league, hopefully we get past tonight and bring in the quality needed to make good account of ourselves.
Another 20m gives lawell less excuses about spending money aswel.
Enjoy 2nyt everyone.
Let the people sing
I think my first European game was the Sparta match when we first wore the numbers on our shorts. I think we won 5-0.
Thunder Road,
May your Dad rest in peace in Paradise.
Well the big day has arrived and all the talking must end and the action must begin no amount of talking has ever won a game. I dont know if we will have a full house tonight or not but we must lift the roof to support the bhoys and hopefully unsettle Shaktar lets hope its on of those great nights that go into the Celtic history books with pride. H.H.
