Celtic will face Maribor from Slovenia in the Champions League play-off round. Maribor, of course, played a critical part in the death of Rangers, when they eliminated Ally MsCoist’s team from Europe a few months after Craig Whyte took over from Sir David Murray. Having heard the 6-1 aggregate result against Legia, they are already celebrating the draw.
Maribor gave Wigan two hard games in last season’s Europa League, winning their home tie and causing the FA Cup holders more trouble than expected in England. They progressed to the knock out round before going out 4-3 on aggregate to Sevilla – a feat Celtic would not have been capable of. Right now, they should be slight favourites.
If you missed it, today’s earlier article on Lady Luck, HMRC and money is here.
Join the Celtic Graves Society, Fergus McCann and many more at Kilsyth Cemetery on Saturday, 18 August, to commemorate the final resting place of the great Jimmy Quinn. Full details below or at Celtic Graves.

Murdo in ten men won the league and big Roy for scoring at ibrokes and seeing their scarves coming down as one and his celebration at scoring third goal at CP in 81.

Thank you for your reply.
Any suggestions why I should care?
‘Cos I don’t.
Highs and Lows? Been there, done that since 1954.
Would not mind posting more frequently, but people like you are not worth the effort of an intelligent debate .
Am I being unkind? Probably.
Do I care? Grow up, sunshine.

Not my point
The mendacity re Gordon’s signing is embarrassing
Bets ..should Gordon remain fit he’ll be a great signing ….then again I’m going to win the lottery tomorrow ..

Bang on the money in everything that you said.
GER57,
why dont you use a bit of the grey matter you possibly have in your dome.
I never compared May to any I mentioned.What I said was they were playing for Diddy teams,doing quite well,until we signed them.I dont think one of them had an International cap.We saw the promise,bought them,and they flourished.
Dont know why I am answering you.If you cannot make out my point from the 1st post,you are lost.Gie me peace,until you can understand the meaning of peoples posts.
Hunskelper ? Big Bad Bobo Balde they were scared of the big guy.

On the big screens at Murrayfield on Wednesday before the game it showed Big Roy’s goal at CP against them when he charged down the right wing, tried to cross, the ball came back to him via a Jackson block and he lashed it into the roof of the net past McCloy. He then turned and runs down the touchline, in the days when they had half of the front of the main stand. They didn’t look happy as they lobbed many things at him!

We learned a few things this week.
1- our team is shite.
2- we need a clear out of the senior players.
==================================================================
Were you saying that at the end of last season?

He may well have been, and he wasn’t great but he knew how to score against them.

Think I’ll have to agree there

Different universe aye?
So your big idea – when we have limited funds – is to spend some on a striker, who by your own admission isn’t ready for cl, leaving us with 4 spfl level strikers & an Amido Balde? Cool. Suppose it’s all about opinions.

Alternative view…………..the foresight to pick up a former £10m keeper on a Bawsman whilst knowing a player wanted to go back to England, and picking up £10m to boot
What a clever club we support?
Pf
Still not sure of your point.
Ff has been going for a while , clearly.
We need a replacement. Gordon seems to me worth a punt.
Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t recall him being touted as a world beater.
Good night Celtic Supporters
Hope Saturday is as Good a day as Today :-)
Hail Hail
Gave = have.
Sorry for my appalling typing.
Big cup winners,
Tell you what, you keep an eye on the sheep and I will focus on the Hoopabhoys.
All the best.
cowiebhoy- I posted after Derby lost play off final ,Bryson, Chris Martin and the full back Forsyth would be good signings,but….
I think Rod’s music is pish.
Like him for all the other reasons tho >}

We don’t have limited funds. We have plenty of funds. Use them.

Hun skelpers
We have had several in my time who caught my imagination.
Here we go:
Boruc, David Hay, Billy McNeil, Jinky, Bobby Murdoch, Bertie Auld, Henrik, Alan Thompson, Paul Wilson, Lubo and Paul McStay.
They all skelped thems in different, but very effective, ways.

From what you have seen of Deila …why do you have confidence in him
,………….
Confidence … V man not a lot
PF we will still be Celts while the plc move on. I think this point should be amplified (thumbs up )
GER57,
I forgot to add,Wispy,Choccy,and Dixie !!!!!!!!?.FFS,yes you get points for knowing their nicknames.Did you know them before they joined Celtic.
Is it so hard for you to understand the point of a post.Good Lord.
Night all; getting late in Deutschland and the golf course beckons in the morning :))

That goal in the 3-1 win as a personal favourite of mine. Especially as he ran round the track fist in the air right in front of the Bassas !
Enjoy……ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vTS6XBR0o
EddieinCarmichael,
I have no idea, I am not a goalkeeping coach
My point is that some folks are blessed with loads of natural talent and squander it, whilst others have less natural talent but work hard, listen to feedback and become a success.
To me FF is a a guy with less natural talent than say Boruc, but has worked very hard to achieve his justified success, and I suspect will be Southampton’s No1 at Boruc’s expense

Do I detect a touch of reluctance there?

How could I forget Bertie Auld as a hunskelper!!!

A belated thanks for the drinks tip.

Hey, that’s life……

Nah, don’t go in very often. The Avenue ? has that place changed name again ?
Just a by the way,didn’t see the match.Tom Cairney who scored for Blackburn Rovers tonight.
International career[edit]
He has a Scottish father and an English mother, meaning he is eligible to play for Scotland and England at international level. He has represented the Scotland national under-19 team.[21] Despite having played for Scotland at youth level, Cairney is still eligible to play for the England national team, and his Hull City captain George Boateng described him as being potentially a “huge asset to the national team of England”.[22] However, Cairney committed himself to Scotland and made his debut for the Scotland under-21 side against Sweden on 11 August 2010.
Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:
“In the second half we didn’t play well with the ball but we sorted out the problems that Tom Cairney, especially, caused us in the first half.”

Who thinks Ronny D should stay on ? I honestly think we should sack him now and bring in a Manager who can work with the current squad of players. I am sure Ronny would eventually get things right in the long term but unfortunately we only have 2 weeks. We have been given a lifeline and the chance of £15-20 million lets grab it with both hands !
