Hearts won the opening game of the league campaign against Celtic in controversial circumstances when the teams met at Tynecastle on July 31. Despite bossing the Edinburgh club in the league and League Cup at Celtic Park, Celtic won each game by a solitary goal, with Hearts finishing the stronger on both occasions. Even when we played well, created a hatful of chances and had Kyogo leading the line, we didn’t manage to decisively put Hearts away.
Of our likely starters tonight, only Greg Taylor, Nir Bitton, Carl Starfelt and (perhaps) James Forrest will have played before at Tynecastle, with its unique brand of hostility. It is doubtful Celtic have visited with fewer players of prior knowledge of the ground since 1945. And Carl’s recollections of the night will be far from affirmative.
We have watched this Celtic team grow since that night in July. Players have arrived, performances and results have improved. Without their captain and many experienced heads, new men need to become the leaders. This is a game for Carl in particular to show how far he has come since arriving in Scotland.

Such pretentious arrogance.
Good riddance.
skelp the minis
Has the team been announced yet?
bbc headline on Wim includes the term ‘backdrop of dysfunctionality’. Apologies to forstergrant and others who hate me banging on about them but where are the headlines about a club who are financially a catastrophe let alone a mess\/
There’ll be a lot of stamping tonight so I expect our players to scream out loud when this happens and the rest all to get in Beatons face and let him know that we know what’s happening. Ok.

Pre-game excitement – been up since 4am after we hosted a multi-nation wee Aus Day lunch. Lithuanian bread and salami, foodstuffs from Melbourne’s ‘bagel-belt’, vietnamese pate, Scottish oatcakes and English scones.
Yummm.
Post lunch, Ms Quad and I were discussing the retrospective red card red herring and, ever sage, she says:
Why don’t they deduct a goal off the team whose player gets a retrospective card thereby punishing that team for the game their player offended… Admin aside, it’s not a bad wee thought.
That’s a good line-up the Boss has selected: Tony R woulda been my favoured RB but Jura doesnt shirk either.
Will it run as a 4-3-3 ?
Mon the bhoys!!

Yes, the overall tone of the blog has deteriorated in the last year or so. Rational argument is interpreted as subversion.
One frequent blogger seeks to establish himself as a GRAND OLD MAN of CQN. Yet some of his blogs reek of psychosis. I do hope he is well.
This evening some of the more intolerant members of our community are trying to galvanise support for a witch-hunt. That is a million miles from what Celtic is all about.
