Miku, Lassad and Ambrose need to stretch legs

842

If you are going to Celtic Park tomorrow you will see a lot of photos like the one above.  Outside the ground 200 bucketeers will be collecting to raise money to send Oscar Knox for treatment for neauroblastoma.

Be prepared.  Bring spare cash with you, have it ready and do your bit for Oscar.

For the second week in a row we take on the team at the bottom of the table; see how that worked out last week.  After an awful August which saw Dundee’s return to the SPL marked with one point and no goals scored from four games, they picked up three points at Tynecastle before losing a lead late in the game against Motherwell last weekend.  Manager Barry Smith will have watched how St Johnstone went about their business six days ago and will believe his team can nick something at Celtic Park.

Neil Lennon (and some of us) will welcome the drop in intensity from Wednesday’s Champions League tie as Celtic are likely to give game time to those who joined the club three weeks ago.  Miku, Lassad and Ambrose all need to stretch their legs.

Big shout again for the guys raising money for Celtic Youth Development through TicPick.  It’s £1 to enter and you win £1000 for predicting 10 results.  I’ve gone for Celtic to beat Dundee, West Ham to beat Sunderland, Aberdeen and Motherwell to draw, Man City to beat Arsenal, St Mirren to beat Killie, Dundee United to beat Hearts, Man Utd to beat Liverpool, Hibs to beat Inverness, Chelsea to beat Stoke and Spurs to beat QPR.

    A year oot, and a goal oot,but for forty years ago,not bad…

  11. Morning all. Another glorious day here in North Ayrshire.

     

     

    Why the black on the new strip? For the rest, it looks fine to me. Give me green and white every time.

     

     

    Only read the foreword to Downfall but if Phil’s book is every bit as good, well….

  12. Just read the piece by Glenn Gibbons. Brilliant. Sounds like a man getting a wee bit of his own back for something. Pity he draws attention to McCoist’s failings. He and thon deid club deserve each other.

  13. GourockEmeraldBhoy on

    Good morning CQN.

     

     

    Slept in for work so never bothered, looking forward to the game and more importantly donating to the bucket volunteers for wee Oscar. Could somebody direct me to where the wags will be situated so I can mistakenly walk that way to donate ;-)

     

     

    No program or food for the bhoy today, told him he’s giving it to Oscar instead.

    Forty years ago isnae the problem,bud.

     

     

    Last week is the problem….

  15. Good luck to all the Bucketeers today at Paradise, I really hope the rain is not falling like it is here in the valley, 12 hours straight and counting.

     

     

    Looking forward to see some of the new Bhoys today and a positive return to SPL duty…

     

     

    Hopp Celtic Glasgow…

    You might have had a tear in your eye – but I’m in bits here

     

     

    Everyone – Please give what you can

  17. All the best to the bucket load of volunteers. The result of that is more important than a celtic result today so dig deep everyone.

    I can’t make the game but the people who are using our tickets today have been instructed to give generously.
