Surprised we got two in yesterday, as Manchester City under-grad, Jason Denayer, signed for a year-long loan last night. The 19-year-old has yet to play first team football so is likely to be considered as backup at Celtic, though reports are promising.
Not surprised that Legia Warsaw have lodged an appeal to Uefa to be re-instated into the Champions League, they have to try everything possible. It has not been confirmed what ground Legia have appealed on, however, at the weekend, Polish FA chief exec, Zbigniew Boniek, suggested an appeal would be made on two grounds:
That only one member of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body was at the hearing to made the decision, and
That Legia were not given the chance to make a submission to the Body.
There are 10 members of the Disciplinary Body and rules state that decisions require the attendance of at least three, unless the case is “urgent”, when a decision can be taken by one member. To defend their process, Uefa need to insist that the circumstances were urgent, probably citing the Champions League play-off draw, which was due to take place two hours later.
While the Disciplinary Body allow submissions to be made prior to a hearing, Article 34 authorises the Body to undertake a hearing without submissions and “in the absence of one or all of the parties”.
In the unlikely event Legia won an appeal on procedural grounds, a subsequent hearing, perhaps with more Disciplinary Body members in attendance, would take place, and would inevitably reach the same conclusion.
Article 21, paragraph 2, of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations state, “A match is declared forfeit if a player who has been suspended following a disciplinary decision participates in the match.” There is no ambiguity or lateral for the Disciplinary Body to exercise a different reprimand.
Legia’s appeals can carry on all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but Celtic will not be involved in any future issues. NK Maribor represent a vastly, vastly, greater risk to their Champions League aspirations.

On field cheating is not always done in a split decision. Sometimes it is more calculated. Could Celtic please do the decent thing and ask UEFA to change results of those games where one of our players cheated?

Your words, not mine.
Just heard from my nephew at Dundee Utd, that Ryan Gauld has been told by Sporting that he is not first team ready and will train and play with the SL B team this season.

The idea that any bunch of players would sacrifice their own careers to spite a just arrived manager is just ludicrous.
Agreed – they are playing poorly and the work-rate of our strikers is poor. But that can certainly be put down to incompetence and not having a gameplan rather than some sleekit, crazy, backfiring, shoot-in-foot plan

After Deila’s first selection against Legia I wouldn’t be surprised if some players were pissed off
Izzy …dropped for a RB ….
Berget …straight into the team
Pukki …becomes first choice striker( fir one night)
Two in midfield , four attackers …leaving the midfield swamped and the defence exposed
Ten mins to go and he brings on a striker
The players must have wondered wtf was going on ….
I’m not suggesting it’s acceptable …but so what understandable
I see some are still jumping in before reading/understanding what I originally said…
Anyone who isn’t happy with the rules being adhered to should perhaps refrain from watching Celtic in the next stage.

I may have misunderstood something you said.
The people I feel sorry for are the Legia Warsaw fans there club has let them down badly.However,the rules are the rules roll on Maribor.H.H.

You not back to school in the morning? Away n get yir jim-jams oan…
Whit a baw by bale.
Why was the player not registered for the St. Pats games if he was a first team squad member.
Anybody know
Clink/
It seems to have been a clerical error.
Superb ball from Bale ..CR…goal
Personally I don’t think there is enough evidence to make any judgement on Ronnie D. What I would say however is that there is reasonably substantial evidence that our Board have taken a punt on him. As they did with Lenny as they do with just about every signing we make nowadays. Our Board don’t believe in paying for tried and tested. So all of those either asking for RD ‘s head or bestowing tremendous faith – show me your evidence.
If I was a betting man I’d say RD is unlikely to be successful . I hope Im wrong but so far he still has plenty to
Prove…
Good Evening Timland.
Back in the day when I stood in the jungle and a Celtic
employee was being attacked we circled the wagon’s.
I don’t know if RD and JC are the dream team,but I do
know it’s far too early to say either way.
I’m very disappointed to see so many posters whom I
respect on here are already willing to throw both mhen
under the bus……shame on you
Goodnight Timland?
Clink/, sorry,
I types that out carefully, iPad doesn’t like that.
What a pass / goal ….!!!!
Cultsbuoy
Its the players that have plenty to prove.
Sorry
Cultsbhoy.
Oh dear, realise that I misspelled Ronny being in too much of a hurry To be called a hun by someone from the Port makes it a bad night indeed. Especially since I having been following tic since before hew was even thought oabout.

Congratulations Joe. You’re first sentence above is the first to have grasped any part of what I said. Now, if someone, anyone, could just get their head around the fact that what I said in relation to your second sentence was – and I made a point of highlighting this several times – HYPOTHETICAL, then guys could stop foaming at the mouth.
Joe – You’re by far my favourite CQNer from my short time aboard. Not just from this, but other things you say.

Real are going to take some beating this season ….. Hopefully, Barca can rise to the challenge

“The idea that any bunch of players would sacrifice their own careers to spite a just arrived manager is just ludicrous.”
The expression “sacrifice their own careers” IMO appears somewhat melodramatic in the circumstances. There are dozens of examples of football teams basically chucking it with a view to enforcing managerial change.
PLG, AVB at Tottenham, Aberdeen losing 9-0 at Celtic in a shameful display all readily spring to mind.
Are you telling me it doesn’t happen??
pfayr …
Point taken but if team selection is a factor, then what we’re facing is bordering on mutiny
Our problem is, as somebody suggested earlier, is that nobody will take our duds off us.
The players have more medals than Ronny . Some might have even managed at a higher Level than Ronny ;-)
I suspect we are witnessing the remnants of a power struggle between the C.E.O and our former manager and Roy Keane was just an indication of how much in touch our de facto owner really is with the club

Really?
I’ve only read Follow Follow once before I couldn’t take anymore so posted and was subsequently banned.
It was nothing like CQN.
We play tomorrow night then Saturday. The Tuesday. When is it possible to organize and play legia. They have to win appeal only way possible.
Don’t question the CEO , the management , the signing policy….or your not a proper supporter….
Utter bollox
raberto67. Dont let them get to you its your opinion which you are entitled to as much as they are to theirs.We all get slagged at times on CQN but try to remember most are Celtic fans but not all.Thanks for your kind words but there are a lot of terrific posters on CQN that I look up to.H.H.
apologies if already posted………..
Manchester City on Denayer:
In his short time at City, Belgian centre half Jason Denayer has proved himself to be a classy operator on the ball and an excellent reader of the game at the heart of the back four.
The 19-year old struck up an excellent partnership with Shay Facey in defence throughout the 2013/14 season as the boy Blues went deep in four competitions at home and abroad.
He scored his first goal for the club in the 6-0 UEFA Youth League win over Bayern Munich at the start of October and continued to shine throughout the season, earning himself opportunities to train with the first-team at Carrington.
A Belgian youth international, the ambitious Denayer was nominated for the EDS Player of the Year award after a fantastic 2013/14 campaign and joined Celtic on a season-long loan on 12 August 2014.
I don’t think I have disliked a player (other than those who played fro deadco) more than Pepe.
he gets my bloood pressure boiling just seeing him on the park……
