Kilmarnock don’t enjoy visits to Celtic Park, winning only once there since 1955, but seldom have they been on the receiving end of such a humiliating result from such a young and inexperienced Celtic team. You and I have seen these games – especially in the League Cup – go wrong so many times in recent seasons: Morton, Falkirk and Partick, to name just three.
What we have at the club now is energy and purpose that makes even our experiments seem potent. Brendan Rodgers must have been delighted at what he got from his players.
For some, like Leigh Griffiths, it was another hour nearer full fitness. These minutes are crucial in preparation for the almighty test of the season against Astana at Celtic Park one week from today.
Really pleased Roy Aitken will be around Celtic Park more often in future in his new role as Club Ambassador. Roy was a huge figure at Celtic in the 70s and 80s, but there’s at least one generation since who know little about him.

I suspect the 6 they rattled against an average championship team was no fluke
6 is the number of the beast after all
What will be BT’s live game be?

Think they won their games games away to thistle with last minute goals
PRESTONPANS BHOYS on 9TH AUGUST 2017 9:58 PM
Thistle bottled it twice

Sevco in away tie shocker
*tae the only team that didnae take a point aff them.
Well, at least the Zombies get to return to Firhill, scene of their greatest and most celebrated footballing triumph.
A bit like Lisbon for us.
Happy enough with that draw so long as we avoided the monkeys.

Heard The Wick has been taken over by two right good Tims.
Just been told three of the four quarter finals are live on BT

=========================
HT, one of them, yes, so I heard; was told about it last week on holiday and he was refered as a ‘Celtic man’ I was supposed to know; couldn’t plac ehim at the time.
I know the other from a while back – more a rugby boy, but football allegiances with us.
Next few weeks will reveal all ;))
I wonder what Celtic would have done had someone been slashed in the standing section.
G67- we are away to Sevco on the Saturday , so you can bet the Thistle/ huns will be on the Tuesday…
How many home cup games have we had in the last three to four seasons?
Three?

Apparently actively promoting the Celtic games from what I’ve heard.

—————————-
That was rerrrrr for us on home ticket scheme :O)(O:
Not exactly a far away tie for them
Still its far and away not Ibrox
The plucky Partick do have a chance against Pedro’s poseurs
Hype from the media does not a better player make
Although I do expect the headlines to be gushing for them tomorrow 6 of the best type of nonsense ( they have to be it sells papers) I doubt anyone will be stupid enough to brag about grabbing an extra goal against a championship level team.
Not when you consider Celts sent out the kids against premier oldco elbow in chief team Mc Culloch and got a wonderful handful
Was someone slashed at the game last night?????
!!BADA BING!! on 9TH AUGUST 2017 10:12 PM
They play Thistle at Firhill on the previous Friday so that will probably the Tuesday game.
Makes no difference we’ll play the B team at Dundee, it’s the midweek between two CL games

oh dear, let’s find out the facts first, I think you already know but not on your agenda
Daily Hun headline……..So the dens park riot revisited

Four out of five last season in both cups
RobertT
Yes someone was slashed in one of the lounges
Mag7
Absolutely no agenda here though it was a rhetorical question. Rain it in.
Liverpool reject 100m euro bid for Coutinho. Mad!!!
HT, or is it CraigmarlochTim :-)
Hearing the GB not attending our next home game ? Their decision

====================
Didn’t want to mention it, but the wife – who used to work for one of them – came home last night and said they were putting out a banner/board advertisitng our game v Killie.
And you know the broadcasting situation last night soooo…
May have upset some Prestwick huns. :))

Reign surely, I thought you were a teacher, not English I hope :-)
Evening all. Met a cat at my front gate, and he recognised me from the kettle of boiling water episode. He left.

…
obviously English is not my strong point either ;-)
Gary67
Just a mental block…. or maybe just the mood I am in…. :-(
Getting wound up by Huns suggesting it is a shock we were away from home and I knew for sure we went a fecking long time without a home tie!!!
Cheers anyway.
Right, just hearing about that. Disgraceful.
Baith wrang.
Rein (as in a horse’s reins)
Away to Dundee midweek before visit to Huns away noon Saturday so would imagine that we will both have to play play same night ?
Interesting as BT will televise one game each night (ties are Tues 19, Wed 20 & Thurs 21 Sept).

MacLean a nightmare ref
Dire.
Cowiebhoy
A lot going on in the background but hopefully it’ll be resolved soon. BR has also been involved.
Sandman
Was hoping to go down Saturday/Sunday but sadly not.
Mag7
Ha ha I realised as soon as I posted but thought there was no point in rectifying it :-)
Still no agenda though just an observation.

Motherwell v Aberdeen will be the Thursday game. We’ll be Wednesday, they’ll be Tuesday, possibly vice verse but probably not. Either way we can’t be the Thursday night so neither can they as we play each other on the Saturday after the quarters

I know, just admitted my mistake, and not for the first time :-)

fair enough, I thought you were trying to make a point regarding Green Brigade treatment, lets wait and see if this was a random attack, or not
