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.

I know Ronny when talking about Tonev added that he had a slight injury, but he said 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.

You might not believe this but the exact same thing happened at Barca when they signed Messi – honestly.
scullybhoy. Its a sign I tell you a sign. H.H. :-)
Celtic probably have 38 difficult fixtures remaining
Will pop along tonight to see what the season ahead may hold ,if underwhelmed as I was last season it’s back to glancing at the away games on the telly now and again
Is it just me, or have the angst levels on the blog come down a couple of notches? I like to think it is as a result of my eminently sensible postings yesterday afternoon, but it’s hard to be sure…

Could Tonev’s maw not help out at stan’s mates burger van to let the wee fella way to the fitba?

I let’s Use your word besmirch people in here who start with the happy clapper guff, I said it and I’ll say it again, it’s Hunnish, and is made up by Huns in here and they can GIRFU them, all I do is love Celtic, are they perfect, are the board perfect, is PL perfect, are you, am I? No, no one is, it’s the constant moaners in here every day, moan moan moan, I say good things about the club the team, the management and Pl, and I’m the bad guy, some Celtic site this is, it’s amazing how they get in here ( Huns) and so called Celtic supporters back them up, I play it my way the right way, support them all the way, as far as I am concerned 70% of negativity is from Huns in here playing the sleekit game they know so well! and if they happen to drag gullible. Tims in with them nothing to do with me, the constant BESMIRCHING of the club should be looked at in here not me supporting it, or is that to hard to understand, everyone in here knows what I am and a few know me, yes, half full, that’s me, I said before “to fall in love with Celtic is awfully simple”…….”to fall out of love with Celtic is simply awfull” lurking Huns GIRFYs.
The reaction to Tonev having a slight knock is hilarious.
What else can we find to be depressed about?
Let us all know if there’s a bulb out on the floodlights – cue the anguish – “what a joke of a club we are!”
I think the comments from Ronny regarding Tonev’s mother are meant to be a wee joke but with his dry delivery I think it’s been misunderstood.
Don’t think we’ll see him on live at the apollo anytime soon let’s just say! ;)

George Galloway responds to DUP asking that his planned event in Belfast be reviewed..
made me laugh..
In response, Mr Galloway said: “To be lectured on good relations by the DUP is a bit like being told to sit up straight by the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

OK – make sure to pop in and let us know. Can get a bit dull in here at times. BTW – I went to KFC yesterday. I don’t think I’ll be back for a while.
Ronny Deila has said that he has decent money to spend on a wildcard depending on the result of the Legia appeal.
Here’s an idea.
Why not spend it anyway to improve the team, especially if it’s a goalscoring striker. Legia lose the appeal (likely) we are better prepared for Maribor.
Win the appeal (unlikely) we will do better in the EL and domestic competitions.

My Mrs is keen to go to the world pipe championships at the weekend . Anyone been before ,and is it ,how can I put it delicately, an all inclusive environment ?
Kev Jungle. In the main we get hard games from Saints and Utd I dont think its anything to do with downsizing and it will be interesting to see how we get on.Also Saints and Utd have improved over the last couple of seasons and we are in transition.I am looking for Celtic to win both games and get our defence of the league title off to a flying start.

Tonev’s surgeon at Ross Hall has indicated that if the surgery is successful, he should be back in light training when the plaster come’s off in November.

This is not a trick question but, can you tell me the last time that we weren’t in transition?
The thought that some folk are hoping things go breasts north for us tonight and on Sat just saddens me.
Till later all
So Legia Warsaw were aware of the players ineligibility before the game but went ahead anyway.
Looks like they may owe Celtic an apology, if they ever acquire a shred of decency that is. They may not be the only ones either, Some of our own might want to rethink their criticism of Celtic for not “doing the right thing” or “taking the moral high ground”.
tonydonnelly
Anyone in particular you want to “out” as a hun on here ? I’ve been asking for a while why anyone who makes any dissenting remark about Celtic is labelled thus. Could it be because quite a few people are hurting at the direction our club is going at present ? I dont believe for a moment that there are as many lurkers as you claim.

I never said anything of the sort smartarse. You said you’d scroll past me – you went in the huff because you couldn’t answer a simple question I posed, remember? Obviously not. “Mindgames” I think you later called it. Don’t do irony, do you Kev?
Last week ronny was an idiot for putting a signing straight into the team because he could not possibly be ready. This week, it is absurd that a guy signed yesterday can’t play tonight.
At least be consistent.
Surely if your a Celtic supporter that is not just when we are winning but also when we are losing.I think the club needs support even more when things are not going our way it is easy to be a fair weather supporter but true supporters are there through the good times and the bad. H.H.

Only gettin a chance to respond to your bullshit. I read that tonev might be possibly fit for the return leg. We play 4 matches before that it’s not rocket science.
My problem is we got thumped by Legia we got thrown a lifeline and as it stands we are WEAKER as we have sold Forster. End of story.
FAB Virgil
If you are looking in apologies for not being in touch but I wrote your number down on my note pad and then it went missing at my work. I have a ticket for saturday tho. Many thanks for your kind offer.
Thoughts on the game this evening. I assume we have brought a centre back in to play him so I would go with the following.
Gordon
Lustig
VVD
Denayer
Izzy
Ambrose
Mulgrew
Johanssen
Commons
Forrest
Griffiths
Might on paper look a strange selection but if all players above are fit and ready then I would play the 4 at the back and Efe in front to allow VVD to stride forward and slot in when required so the new Bhoy isn;t exposed.
Playing a sitting midfielder may be viewed as defensive but the 3 in front are attack minded with the exception of Mulgrew who would also be able to tuck in.
Commons and Forrest can switch from the wing positions or in to a free role behind or supporting Griffiths who I believe is the only striker we have who can play up front on his own. When attacking this front 1 becomes 3 and there is pace and guile and goals within that front 3.
Looking forward to viewing the match tonight. I’m hoping to see some goals.

It’s the constant moaning, every single day, morning, noon, and night, can I out them? Of course I can’t , I know it’s wrong but not knowing to many in here I’ll tread softly and unfortunately the one s I don’t I pigeon hole them as Huns, it doubt if it would bother them as most are, the ones who are not, need care not a jot.
