Ajax sit top of the Dutch Eredivisie, ahead of fourth-placed PSV, who picked up three points in the Champions League last night. Four wins and a draw, away to Twente on Saturday, is a near-perfect start to the domestic campaign, although that was only Twente’s second point of the season, if that provides a glimmer of hope.
Form has been less convincing in Europe. An honourable 2-2 draw away to Rapid Vienna was made meaningless by a 2-3 defeat in Amsterdam in the Champions League qualifiers. Ajax then endured a tense two-leg Europa League qualifier against Czechs, Jablonec, which ended in a 1-0 aggregate win. Not that we should be dismissive of anyone on European form.
What will give Ronny Deila room for some encouragement is who Ajax have faced so far in the league. AZ (13th placed), Willem II (15th), NEC (10th) ADO Den Haag (12th), before dropping those points to Twente (16th). All they can do is beat the teams before them, but they will not have been stretched domestically. Even Jablonec are struggling in 6th place in the Czech league. Celtic should be able to provide a test at a higher tempo.
By any measure, Celtic are not without their problems. We’ve not kept a home clean sheet since the opening day of the league campaign against Ross County, and we’ve won only one of our last four away games – and that was against Dundee United who lost four on the bounce. But there’s three points to play for tomorrow, and I doubt either team are taking them for granted.

If you don’t know who “FLO” is by his name then you’ve just arrived from a Malaysian jungle thinking we’re still at war with Japan.

IS IT BIG FLO THE DRIP??
Anyone able to confirm if the “personal hygiene” letter is a fake or genuine?
Looks like a fake to me, given the spelling errors.

From what I’m hearing….same kind of letter was circulating in Stockport.
More to it than meets the eye.

So if the SLO had written to the person in question and that person then went to the press would the SLO still be culpable?
It’s the going public that created the big stink. The little stink was an internal matter and whoever is to blame for it reaching the ears of deluded bluenose it’s not the SLO.
I cannot imagine anyone who is not out to undermine Celtic going public on this.
To blame the SLO for the stupidity or nastiness of another is to deflect from where blame lies.
If the SLO is guilty of anything it’s being too trusting. The last thing we need is an SLO who cannot trust the folk he is dealing with.

Many thanks, I’ve seen it in passing, and have found Moynihan’s also!

The Long Wait.
SLO confirmed it was real on Twitter.
Next time he might be more careful in who he trusts. Not a good thing in that post.
It depends on a degree of trust.

Black propaganda from the Meeja.
Who would have thought it eh.
A recent scan of the Daily Hun would be instructive.
They are churning it out.
Shocking stuff.
Something should be done.

I assumed some on here were joking with their criticism of Celtic and the FLO, some on here really need to grow up and get a life.

It was not the SLO ( that is the Supporter Liaison Officer) who went public.
Blame whoever did.
They did not have your or my best interests at heart.
Folk come on and complain about poor communication between the club and support.
It makes it very difficult to persuade Celtic they should be more open when their own supporters act like this one did.
Drawbridges go up and folk wonder why.
mind you it’s more likely to be the corruptibles who’ve convinced them to be debt free
Whos SLO????

Are you or anyone else able to go to;
Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery) register of cases-gov.uk
and check the update in the old HMRC case.
I would it myself but it requires opening some big docs. using a lot of memory.
It is updated to 15/9/15.
Hi All
From our wee website if you have the chance to check it out.
Tony attended the ALS clinic at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for over three years.
That’s why it is one of our adopted good causes..

Thanks for the confirmation but its reported on some sites that that tweet has been deleted now.
The spelling errors and overall feel suggest it’s fake.
If it’s real then I think its a PR disaster.

Who is the youngest player to make the first team for Celtic?? Yogi???

No worries !
If your into seafood ,there’s a restaurant immediately round the corner from the pub that I recommend you should try ….. Excellent food , ah think the manager is a Sporting fan …..HH
AULDHEID on 16TH SEPTEMBER 2015 9:22 PM
Letter should never had been sent. SLO should have dealt with it. But you blame the fans.
Auldheid…
If it was official as you say, then I find it rediculous that anyone would think it would not find its way to the smsm.
Why make bullets to be used on our own?

What were the spelling errors exactly?

Wish i was in the BOLD CM playing for the club i love injured or not.
What about you RON67
HH
I agree, but I like to think that i was earning my keep
–
No sign of any tweet from JPT on the letter issue,
if it is indeed a fake its time the club went after some of these reporters and papers,
sitting back and ignoring things shouldn’t be an option anymore
I have been lucky to see us win twice in Amsterdam. Unfortunately I will not be in Amsterdam tomorrow. To those there, keep safe and maybe you will witness another famous Celtic victory in Sin City. I fancy us.

Pleased to see a team Celtic eliminated in europa group stage last year beating a side from the finest league in the world tonight.
Not sure that will register with many. Zagreb had the softer draw in the play offs vs the Albanians but credit for their performance tonight.
Glad I invested in a Uefa live viewing thingie..even if it is with Faux Saccur Too Gaux.
HH
It smacks of Hunguffery…I wouldn’t be surprised if its a fake.
Black Propaganda….Anti-Celtic agenda.
Who does that sort of thing…every day?
