The one positive for the defence during the international break is that Kieran Tierney was allowed home to rest, instead of facing Portugal at the weekend. Celtic players involved with their youth or full national teams have faced two games a week pretty much since June. A consequence of this has been no opportunity to work on their base fitness and practically no time at Lennoxtown to work on set plays.
International friendlies continue until tomorrow, meaning Dedryck Boyata and Mikael Lustig will not return to Lennoxtown until Thursday. Both are expected to play for their national teams. Dedryck has been crucial for Celtic since coming back into the side in September, while Mikael cannot afford to think about burnout. He needs to perform twice a week, every week, no matter the energy levels. Has this had an effect on his performances? You have to expect so.
We have two games per week until the next international break. I would consider resting Mikael for the trips to Dundee and Livingston. I would also consider substituting two defenders, if the score-line allows.

gone are the days when players actually walked to the ground, or shared a bus ride with the supporters. no prima donnas then, alas unfortunately that kind of kinship between player and fan is no more, I think there is a book about this somewhere hopefully tontine tim will no.hh. posted this earlier any comments or am I just an old fart.hh.
I see Tom Rogic scored for Oz against Kuwait and that Daniel Arzani got on as a sub to join ex-Celt Jackson Irvine in the line up.
Now I have absolutely no interest in FtSFA national team
But
I do have an interest in FtSFA and their activities
So if FtSFA national team manager was to be dismissed, how much would he get ? And would this clear a wee HMRC issue ?
Hope that manager is in the role for a long time

I was just being smart, I still think the expression is daft tho.

Aye he was good, so was Henke, the amount of goals he scored anticipating where the ball would end up was incredible

Kieran Tierney when out injured, is in among the Celtic supporters at away matches, rather than the prawn sandwich section. KT is the nearest we have to the time you refer to.

Good??????
Genius was Lubo. Much greater than good. ?

Has the media started the campaign for Alex McLeish to forgo compensation and step down from his role as Scotland manager yet?
You know, for the good of the game, the SFA, the country and all that.

Hello again all you young rebels.
For those who have Celtic T.V there’s a great interview with
George McCluskey on when he signed for the bhoys.
He tells how big Jock and Sean Fallon worked as a team to get
him to Celtic Park.
As a schoolbhoy internationalist and having scored a wonder
goal against England at Wembley clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea
et al where clamouring for his signature.
But Jock and Sean had their plan worked out, Sean would take
the auld man down to the pub and work on him there while
the big mhan watched his mother making the soup complimenting
how nice it looked and he said to her ” you know Theresa George
won’t get that kind of food if he goes to some of those English clubs ”
Brilliant !
Of course George only wanted to sign for the bhoys so it was a done
deal.
He also mentions how wee Jinky was a fitness fanatic and used to get
up at 5 in the morning and go running with miners pit boots on.
Terrific stuff and well worth a look.

Magic in them feet then :-)
Just reading Stephen MacManus’ comments about Scotland. I wonder if he fancies the job…….Otherwise, he’s talking a lot of nonsense.
DELANEYS DUNKY, garry wish we could bring them times back.hh.

My first Euro away game I was a 16 year old wi a weekend income and dogging school for a few days. First match at Paradise, Ajax destroyed us 2-2. Second match in Amsterdam on Glasgow Uni bus was a lifetime University lesson there and back. Chicken George fae Roots, as we affectionately called him, came on as a sub and sent me into an Amsterdam maryjane XTC.
When it’s Spring again,
We’ll sing again,
2-1 in Amsterdam.

Total Magic.

Remember that program Roots, great viewing, and what a
night that was in Amsterdam with George at his best.

You cannae get them days back ever.
The Money Genie in fitba is well oot the bottle. Never to be put back now.
Support the Bhoys.
They are the only team we got.
A cradle to grave love affair with Celtic and me, is what keeps me going to Paradise and away games. I just love supporting oor Bhoys.
Maybe habit? Enjoyable habit.

My mammy made sure that my sister and I watched every episode of Roots. As an anti racism message I think now. I loved Kunta Kinte hero of mine as a wean. My mammy was well wise.
We are Irish/Polish immigrants facing similar in Scotland her message.
YNWA
D.D
You’re absolutely correct about the money genie and it’s sad the way
the beautiful game is going, don’t think it’s about supporting players
you know will be looking at their next big move in a year or two, think
it’s now about supporting the ethos of Celtic and your fellow fans.
Maybe i’m wrong but just my opinion.
Worth a bit of debate though.
H.H Mick
And as others have said on here, if Celtic aren’t playing then i
couldn’t give a damn even if it’s the CL final, and this from a man
who would watch kids in a park mornings, amateurs in the
afternoon and any t.v football on at night lol.
H.H Mick
I hope The Clumpany is OK, not posted an article for about three weeks now. Used to be daily. Hope everything is alright.

DD, you right of course. I’ll try talking to someone tomorrow. I don’t know what’s wrong.
Cracking interview – Awesome the dude never bad mouths anyone – That is Love and appreciation.
THE SMSM – You are despicable.
Here is some mair Armagh stuff that is just for the Young Wans.
Listen up
I’d encourage Everyone to stop Watching/Funding the BBC.
The Agenda in Scotland is Set (just another example of the Fallen wan – they are all the same deity) Masonic jibber jabber from the Men behind the curtains.
The BBC outside Scotland could not be more Anti Family if it could try right now.
Sickening.
For Petes sake just Believe – nowt to lose
Hold On
Celtic have the Most Amazing Manager. PLC dinnae piss him off.
Brendan hooked players in his first Season for mistakes regularly.
He set the Standards.
Brendan needs reinforcements as Some players have played more than Any Other in the World over the last 2 Seasons.
@ least 2 First Team players incoming in the mythical Bad Window.
Those not so nice NEW Hun Monkees are so heavily backed by EVERYTHING to stop Celtic doing what they are doing.
The image of the Masonic SHIT on Jetskis @ SandyLane worries me so very much.
Masons/Others, the knowing ones… they have One objective and that is to Destroy the Divinity of Christ/Yeshua.
Respect

Celtic will play Neils Hibs team Saturday.
It will be an open game but Neils team has been weakened and I expect a 2 or 3 goal win.
I’m hoping that Hibs get 2nd Primarily because of Neil.
Something inside. There is Something inside.
Magical.
Thinking about you Danny.
Celtic is CELTIC.
I was Blessed to be in your company for a few hours.
Good morning all from Govanhill. Hell ain’t no bad place to be.

Good morning from drizzly Clydebank.
