Maribor slight favourites

2143

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.

    As an added incentive I’ve decided to offer some prizes for the top 3 come the end of the season. The winners will each receive items of their choosing from the Official Celtic Webstore to the tune of

  5. Got to go but before I do I just have to comment on how welcome it is to see the blog brought back to life by this dramatic news.

     

     

    It’s great to be a Tim!!

  6. Eyes Wide Open on

    If we are setting out our stool and Sammi is the level – could we coax Anton Rogan out of retirement?

     

     

    Best wandering left back I ever seen

    Mistertaximan. I think your view would be in the minority amongst Celtic supporters the rules are the rules and for whatever reason Legia broke them. Celtic have had a lucky break and it doesnt happen to often so I hope that we can capitalise on it. H.H.

    Ach I think I was on my way anyhow….

  9. Just watched the interview with henning berg on sky sports news. I feel for him but astonishingly the interviewer asks him if he felt it was celtic who made the mistake would the result have been different!!!!!! Np erg says that’s just speculation.

     

     

    Absolutely disgraceful to implicitly suggest that this is to help celtic!!! Raging

    Just been sent that by a Hun

     

     

    I responded by telling him it was mildly amusing 6 months ago when told about man city being pumped by Barcelona

  13. Thought Ronny was a stubborn fool for insisting on his 4-2-3-1 rather than the diamond formation, but if he’s going to persevere with it, bringing Sammi back is a no-brainer.

  14. Celtic have really got out of jail here. After watching one of the worst performances ever by a collective group of players on Wednesday, I don’t hold out much hope for getting past Maribor.

     

     

    It is time this Board backed Ronny strongly with serious first team players because the last 2 games for me, have shown that most of those players can’t be trusted to play for the Celtic supporters, if they have indeed had their noses put out of joint by Ronny.

     

     

    We were lucky to only have a 90 minute journey home, we noticed a bus that was from Wales and the effort those players put in was totally unacceptable to all the supporters. IMO, most of those players don’t deserve to get a third chance to get it right but, somehow, a lot of them will against Maribor.

     

     

    There is no excuse for not getting 2 or 3 first team picks in over the weekend, if not, then there is something badly wrong at Celtic Park.

    Celtic to be investigated for fielding an ineligible player against Legia Warsaw on Wednesday night apparently the player was not listed on the Celtic team sheet.The player Declan Sanchez scored the 3 goals which put Legia Warsaw to the sword.A spokes person for Celtic said it was a genuine mistake. H.H.

  19. Auldheid

     

     

    You got off lightly!

     

     

    Hilariously, at the time, I went up to a bloke in platform 5 the other night and politely asked, ‘excuse me are you Auldheid?’ cos he looked clever, handsome and basically was your spit….

     

     

    Wtf d’you mean?!? came back the response!!!

     

     

    Explaining that he looked just like a guy I spoke to online didn’t exactly appease him!!!!!

     

     

    Laters Timdom!
