Player who has been out since April in shock Uefa squad omission. The only surprise about Kris Commons and Uefa lists is that he was included for the earlier rounds, despite not pulling on a Celtic shirt since April through injury. He was there because there was space on the A list. He’s now been omitted because we signed Scott Sinclair and Brendan Rodgers needed to remove one name to keep his options open for a wildcard.
Kris’ chances of being fit enough to play are less than Patrick Roberts’ so his name came off the list.
I don’t habitually dig up managers at other clubs, but Robbie Nielson is testing the limits of incredulity. When asked about Scott Brown calling Jamie Walker a cheat, he said “If you have got an opinion on anything you are better just keeping it to yourself.”
This is the guy who can’t shut his mouth about referees, including an incident last season when he thought action should have been taken against……. Scott Brown.
Robbie, if you can dish it out but you can’t take it, maybe you are better just keeping your stray opinions to yourself.
We collected four yellow cards at Tynecastle: Gordon, Brown, Dembele and Sinclair. None of them incurred incurred when the ball was in play. Craig Gordon’s was for not going to his line at the Hearts penalty, Moussa Dembele’s was for knocking the ball away, Scott Sinclair’s was for running into the crowd after scoring a debut goal (he’s knew, he should learn, but it’s a clear yellow card) and Scott Brown’s for dissent.
If we’re going to tot up cautions, we should at least do it during play when there is some advantage to be won. Four conceded carelessly off the ball is unusual and could cost us later in the season.
Scott Brown in particular should take note, that was his second caution of the season for dissent, the first coming in Astana. Scott’s a hugely important player to Celtic, previous absences from Europe due to off-the-ball indiscretions should be acting as an inhibitor at this stage of his career.

Well I tuned into CQN today to celebrate the great news about Rogic…
Then to my su’prese… we are more interested in a New New Rangers signing. So left it…
Howevah, it just occurred to me, if he’s typical of their defending so far… it might be worth, as the Griff scores his hat trick against them at Paradise, a rendition of Wycombe Legend, Carrot’s reprise…

Any fans travelling – just take very great care.
=============================================
Consideration for others.
The mark of a Tim.
The expectation or rather hope that the home leg will hopefully finish the tie , will create a lot of nervous energy / anxiety amongst our supporters.
I suspect the away game , in football terms , is going to be a real challenge.
Seriously hope that there is no anti-Israeli demo within Celtic Park.
Liable to cause a backlash in Israel and put our travelling support in danger.
Surprise!! Surprise!!
‘The Ibrox Warchest is being spent on Fanni !’
Nothing changes ;)
Remember lhads we could’ve had. Naylor Balde Fanni!
Night night

The ” contact ” defence.
Enough contact to create the blatantly obvious over reaction from Walker ?
You think so , Robbie ?
He went down as if he`d been hit by a sniper.
Quick post from Dubai, in transit. Great news about the two Thomas’s, big Tam Gemmell and Tom Rogic. Well back on the plane soon.

Only one thing worse than having a Scheidt play for you and that’s a Fanni.
Fanni might be 34 years old but apparently he’s in the pink.
Tom not fancying about.
Interview after his new contract.
The background is spine tingling.

Rogic for three more years – Brendan is working his way through the squad and making his decisions.
Hope Forrest gets a new deal!
Big question marks over Ambrose, Bitton, GMS, Commons, Henderson and Johansen – Allan, Fisher, Cole, Scepovic, Kazim already gone.
So that’s four in, including Ajer, and possibly eleven heading out – quite a movement.
Mats
I would hope that Henderson figures in Brendan’s plans.
I think he can do a job for us given the chance.
To the confused multi monikered that is at the moment mats nilloc
Jamesie
Give yourself peace.
Remember Your a hun.
Congratulations to kezia
Still clueless but shes winshin

Would not disagree – feel Tierney is like a benchmark fot the present youth- usually if you are going to make it big, you stake your claim early.
Michael Phelps…WOW – love the swimming – what a man!!!
What has happened to the Aussies?
Used to be top swimming nation.
Have computer games ‘hoovered up’ the young?
Come on O’Connor !!
The hits keep on coming this pre and early season.
Fans sell out season tickets and fill the stadium.
New innovative safe standing area opened.
New management team in place and making an impact.
Brendan sets and gets his targets.
Money spinning pre season games.
Team strengthened with new signings.
New and intriguing tactical changes made during games..
Tricky CL qualifiers successfully negotiated.
First away test in league overcome.
And as a bonus new signing scores winner.
Can we keep up this pace and even increase the already high
“Feel good factor?”
Rangers need to fill hole in defence; Rumoured to be looking at Fani.
CQN’ers, (a wee reminder)
for those whose football interests extend beyound the SPL, and also like to indulge in the official Fantasy Premier League game :

Maybe a new contract for Forrest this week to keep the feel good show on the road?
If people were getting on the Deila bus, what is Brendan’s mode of transport? An Airbus A380? Well, we’re gonna need the space…
Good morning friends and welcome to Matchday from a dry, calm, bright and cheery East Kilbride.
Good morning, CQN
I hear that Hearts are pushing for SFA sanction against Scott Brown for publicly saying what we all know, that Walker cheated.
Is there no end to the moral deficiency at that club? So much for the Mme. Budge call for integrity. HH
An Teach Solais
I heard the patwnts office are after Scott as rhe term cheat is wholly owned by rfc and its baby rosemqry.
:-)
HH
McNair looks as though he’s going to Sunderland, they have agreed a fee with Man U.
Henderson back to Hibs?
Rangers will swoop for Fanni and I hear John Brown has been brokering the deal. It should come as no surprise if Fanni jets in as it isn’t the first time a John at Ibrox has approached experienced Fanni.
I think the blog has had plenty of jokes about Rangers potential new signing,there’s nothing I can add that’s not already been said.
But…
Is he any good?
He spent the second-half of last season on loan at Charlton. Virtually ever-present.
They got relegated.
Happy Hooooooopy Birthday to
TONYDONNELLY ‘s wee Mammy!!!!!
I’d forgotten that Martin Bain was at Sunderland.
The Daily Rangers fanzine says Fanni is not one of the names being considered by Rangers. They say exactly that. It’s as though it’s undignified to say Fanni is not on Rangers radar or Fanni isn’t a target. He’s a right back. They don’t need a right back unless one of their pals buys Tavernier.

Best wishes to your mammy on her 90th birthday.hope youz all had a good day
HH
T.D.
Your wee birthday mam should be delighted about the fact that her boy doesn`t cop any…………..
………………..poo.

I’ll leave this one alone, I’m sure it’s all been said.
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS
The player in question certainly has a good pedigree in terms of clubs played for. However it would seem that he is another one looking for a final payday. You would have thought Qatar would have been that but no, he wanted to give us a few hours of juvenile amusement :)
“..And the balls slapped against Fanni as the target Brown goes too wide receiving a piledriver from outside the box.”
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes regarding my mothers 90th birthday today, it’s very kind of you all, and very much appreciated from all of my family once again, thank you and HH.
TONYDONNELLY67 on 10TH AUGUST 2016 8:08 AM
Well ,thank god for that.
By way of consolation , I hear that Japanese striker Nooki may be available .

Shocking stuff. Australia has the right to refuse entry,but this is surely not the way to do it.
And btw,at a cost of $1.2bn a year,it works out a $1m per detainee.
It would be a damn sight cheaper to let them into the country. It might also do some good to their faltering international reputation.
Still have time for a wild card I think the deadline is next Tuesday, will Brendan play it? & who is it ?
It’s a new day so I think we should move on from last night’s childish puns.
For my part, I’m off to the gee gees.
MURDOCHAULDANDHAY & WEE OSCAR
I think we might get a keeper in. The other position we seem to be on the lookout for is a central midfielder.
There may be more movement out than in before next Tuesday (if that is the deadline).
Logging on this morning I was kinda hoping all the Fanni jokes might have dried up.
Happy 90th birthday to Mrs Donnelly
