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.

Good morning Timland.
With Legia’s appeal up before the Beaks this morning, I can’t help but think they’re setting themselves up for a fall – the poor, incompetent fools!
Enjoy the link!

European champions Real Madrid look even stronger than last season.Strengthening from a position of strength…that will never catch on!

I was thinking much the same last night. RM strengthened and Sevilla appear to have lost several of their key players.
As money pours in to the top leagues and the top teams in those leagues, to the prejudice of others, the polarisation of football will increase.
The chances of us or any other club of a similar size and league background winning the European cup , CL or equivalent is now effectively nil.

I’m a glass half full Tim that’s me, because I am that I’ve no opinion?
Gimmi a feckin break,
……………………………….
To be fair Tony, it was you who tried to besmirch another posters opinion by sarcastically asking what his point was.
Now you are playing the victim?
Corkcelt
His ma prob. Squarin up ez new flat as maws do, if you went to Bulgaria an yer maw came ti help you would you leave her on her own in a city full of Macca’s? ;)
Corkcelt
My reaction was not one of hilarity , to be frank.
Couldn’t we find a Bulgarian speaker/ professional translator anywhere to help her?
TLWIO
Word is they are not announcing the result until tomorrow.
Seems stupid if that is true.
Teams have game to prepare for next week
Eyes wide open
No I was asking what his point was, I asked him if it was a question?
zimmerman
Outcome not to be revealed till tomorrow I believe !
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Any more updates from the apeal.
Prediction
St Johnstone 1-3 Celtic
Exactly as it went.

Bulgarian loan signing tonev will miss first 4 matches and may be fit for return leg against Maribor!
So basically we are going into the first leg against Maribor with the team that got thumped by Legia minus Fraser Forster!
__________________________
Work that out yourself did you, or if it was a question then more or less with one addition that’s what we go with, your point?
the long wait is over, Apparently we did at a cost of 13k a week,
Looking forward to my first visit to McDiarmid Park tonight for a Celtic game. I was there for a youth tournament a while back, but this will be my first senior game there.
Tin hat on, but I’m going 2-0 Celtic.
Did he say 4 games, or was it Ronny , that’s my point.
Ah Ronny says its all too hard.
Well that explains it then. Thank goodness for that as I was getting very confused at our complete reluctance to build a team.
its just too hard……
Oh more negativity
I don’t think anyone at the Club said anything about Tonev being out for 4 games.
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Me and my Dad are going as well its our second visit. We went to the three-each game there near the end of the season
Corkcelt:
“Tonev wouldn’t be available for tonight because he had his mother visiting and he couldn’t leave her alone because she didn’t speak English. Am I the only one that finds this hilarious”
——————————————————————————-
Naw, i find it hilarious and rather quite bizarre at the same time. Where the feck did you hear this?
WEE BGFC –
I hope you enjoy it and we get a winning start.
Hail Hail
corkcelt
I made the same point about Tonev’s wee mammy a wee bit earlier.
If the guy is injured anyway it’s of not great consequence but,why even mention his mother in the first place?
One for the “Crazy excuses for not playing” album.
Ye couldn’t make it up
Helmski Bhoy,
The “wee mammy doesn’t speak English” is a direct quote from RD
Raman Bhardwaj @STVRaman 14s
Legia Warsaw say their appeal has been heard and UEFA will outline their decision ”tonight or tomorrow morning” #Celtic
But Deila believes the 24-year-old now has the platform to show the sort of form that earned him a move to England.
He said: “Tonev is quick, two-footed, a winger who can play No.10 and in the midfield.
“He has the qualities we’re looking for. He’s not been playing much at Aston Villa and this is a new chapter for him to get his confidence up and get back to the level he was at Lech Poznan where he did well before he came to Aston Villa.
“He won’t be available against St Johnstone. He has his mother on a visit and can’t leave her alone because she can’t speak English. He also has a slight injury we will have to take care of before he gets into the squad but Jason is in.”
It did say that his mammy couldent talk English that’s why he didn’t want to leave her alone, I read it this am ;)
Tone not playing because his maw needs a translator?
Eh,whit?
Is Stan’s pal wi the burger van not available?
What a load of nonsense. I expect he’s picked up a muscle strain or summat and will miss a game or two.
No biggie.
(Besides,most of us reckoned he was pash a coupla days ago!)
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Legia co-owners got the cheek to say that legia “havent really broken the rules” that cheating ding-bat neads to read the bluming rule book!
That was my point, no mention of 4 games.
Cheers lads….good idea…have an early morning meeting….reveal outcome 2moro…. wtf?
“He won’t be available against St Johnstone. He has his mother on a visit and can’t leave her alone because she can’t speak English. He also has a slight injury we will have to take care of before he gets into the squad but Jason is in.”
Did we really just sign an injured player?
Deary me.
you not back a school today wee BGFW ?
Hello this is WEE BGFC. Ma Dads just told me to watch my language.
Start of league campaign. Two difficult fixtures to begin with for Ronnie Delia.
First the Scottish Cup holders. Tommy Wright is a very decent manager (maybe the best in Scotland), I wouldn’t have been disappointed if he had been given the Celtic job having seen some of the names we were linked with.
Then Dundee United who on their day are the second best team in the country and have a promising manager.

Aweeeee keep the negativity coming, are we just warming up lads, another ground hog day, pathetic.
To put the record straight.
Late last night or earlier this morning someone suggested that Pope Emeritus Benedict should return as in his/her opinion Pope Francis was doing nothing to highlight the terrible situation in the Holy Land.
Perhaps if the person in question had knowledge of the Pope’s action that statement would not have been made.
1) Pope Francis invited the leaders of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples to the Vatican to discuss peace and reconciliation. Sadly though they took up the offer, nothing has come of the talks.
2) Almost every Sunday and Wednesday at the public audiences, the Holy Father asks people to pray for peace in these and other areas.
3) Caritas Internationalis, the Church’s international aid organisation was one of the first to get involved and to send in help to Gaza.
4) Those who wish to know what the Pope says on these terrible conflicts might want to log on to VIS (Vatican Information Services).The information provided can also be emailed to you daily.
