Livingston’s return to action after the World Cup was postponed when the Pasta Plastic Pitch was frozen on Saturday. That leaves them fresher than David Martindale would prefer, we can hope for a rusty performance at Celtic Park tonight.
Celtic comfortably disposed of them in late October, but they have been in fine form since, beating Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, and drawing at Tynecastle. Their subsequent friendlies have provided encouragement: a narrow defeat to QPR and three goal wins over Latvians Liepaja and Dutch Fortuna Sittard. I expect Celtic to win, but they will have to work for it.
Last night: that’s football. If you think leagues are won the easy way you have not been watching as long as I have. You don’t really want them easy either, if managers, players and clubs are not working hard, malaise can set in. The handballs, VAR and consistency? I asked that the SFA would use the World Cup break to train their referees and effect an interpretation of the handball rule that is consistent with The Rules of the Game. Subsequent events will determine if this is the case, or if other acts are at play. Most particularly on 2 Janaury.

Clearly a connoisseur of both Celtic and Parkhead comestibles, my good fhellow. As a fellow traditionalist I also eschew the curry pie . The inclusivity of our good club notwithstanding , the Punjab should have no place inside a fitba mince* pie casing .
Not to mention that the Bovril must be boiling enough to take the skin off the roof of your mouth .
The great fitba’ mince? pie debate.
Rinse and reheat.

The Sting. How appropriate.
See for all the good that poor woman has done for the poor people of Denniston and the greater east end, can the press not just leave her alone, what harm has she ever done.

Can’t get Scott Joplin’s “Sting” theme out my head now.
If you want your wages tax-free
Well, we’ll give you an ol’ EBT
And if you ever get caught
We’ll say we did not
And blame it all on thon HMRC.

Third signing close?
If true we really should doff caps to whoever who’s recruitment KPIs.
(Clearly Ange is driving it of course).
Duration of Window : 31 days
Average (mean) deal completion dates
Previous : Day 30
Current : Day -10
40 days earlier delivery within a notional 31 day window.
Astounding.
Shows what one guy’s determination, brains, preparedness and thinking out of the box can achieve.
(PS – average dates data above totally made up but you get the idea)
Typo – Owns not “who’s”

Have eaten a fake MB bar from the Jungle and lived to tell the tale.
Merry Christmas, feck the huns….
Keeper, defence and midfield picks itself these days.
Up front, over the course of 90+ minutes we unleash Jota, Haksa, Jamesey, GG, Abada, Kyogo and Maeda.
Regulation 6-0 win for the bhoys.

The mighty Glasgow Celtic are back in town. Gentlemen, start your engines……
Unleash…………..…. James Forrest
Abada on the right and jota on the left please
my predicted team
Hart
Ralston CCV Starfelt Taylor
McGregor Hatate O’Riley
Abada Kyogo Jota (or Haksa)
I would like to see young Lawal or Vita get a run out if we are 2 ahead in the 2nd half
The Livingston bus has just parked up.
On the edge of the penalty box.
Could be a long night csc

I must have spent much of my Celtic supporting life in the Jungle. Only once could I not get in: the Dundee game in our Centenary Year, when we won the league. I was there about 1.40 and it was full already. I went in to the rangers end which was empty and by about 2.45 was full to bursting. There was some attendance that day.
Thinking Haksa on bench, Jota despite his new moustache should still start. Coiled spring Jamesie then Abada laters.

Same here, but had to go in with Dundee fans to get in on time for kick-off due to the crowds at our turnstiles.
Made way round at back of East terracing to join our own. Great day.
I watched the 2nd half lady night. For 20-25 mins Aberdeen were well on top and then sat further and further back. Sevco were huffing and puffing and going nowhere until Arfield came on. He was much more direct and a goal was looking likely – but two? Never. That was just so shoddy by Aberdeen.
At 93 mins, I was sitting thinking that Sevco would probably drop points at Ross County as well such would be their deflated state of mind.
Those two late goals will make that less likely now but fingers remain crossed. Their defence is ultra fragile right across the back four.
If Devine and Sands play on the 2nd we need to run at them at every opportunity. They won’t know what has hit them.
Good evening Celts…
Logged into CelticTV and can’t seem to see a ppv option for this evening’s game, anybody subscribed?

Good evening, friends.
So, tonight, please remember 3 things – (1) wrap up warm in waterproof clothing, (2) cheer on The Champions for the full 90+ minutes, and (3) after the final whistle send 3 players’ names to me at SENCELPOTY@GMAIL.COM
Please.

CELTIC: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O’Riley, Abada, Kyogo, Jota.
Subs: Siegrist, Jenz, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Mooy, Turnbull, Bernabei, Maeda, Forrest.
BOGNORBHOY
Every sub would be a starter for any other team.
Team very much as expected. GG, Turnbull, Haksabanovic and JF probably all be on when 30 mins left
It seems Harry Kane’s penalty has hit the big screen in the Jock Stein stand
Loaded wi the cauld.canny go!
yeuchcsc!
MODERATOR1888
More than likely
When defenses sit in, TheBig Greek guy is a better bet than Kyogo.
