Some players always report fit, whether they are or not, but no matter which way Leigh Griffiths views his calf strain from last night, it is likely that Brendan Rodgers will rest the player for Friday’s Premiership game at Hamilton.
With six Celts playing both recent Scotland games, and others performing elsewhere across the Continent, Brendan will surely take advantage of one of the benefits of having a strong squad in a weaker league and rest some limbs.
Patrick Roberts must be itching to get back into competitive action, while Calvin Miller could comfortably deputise for Kieran Tierney, who has already played a lot of football this season. I’d have Cristian Gamboa at right back.
One player who is likely to be rested for Friday is Tom Rogic, who played in Japan last week and is currently halfway through Australia’s home World Cup qualifier against Thailand.
19-year-old Odsonne Edouard will not have met many of this team-mates yet, so you could understand if Brendan Rodgers was cautious about starting him on Friday, but it could also be the perfect opportunity for the player to make a memorable impact.
Who knows, maybe we’ll see Eboue Kouassi pick up the reins in central mid?

So, these four Neo-Nazi army guys, I wonder if they have ever been invited to ibrox?
Half Time Nil All. Fairly even game but a huge huge improvement in performance by Ireland.
What’s the chances of seeing joso on Friday night , very slim I would say , as he can’t play on plastic pitches , or may declare himself unfit , and I would think he needs game time too . Not a good position to be in .

0-0 Wales

Watching game on Sky and looks to me like ROI are playing ‘ the Scottish game ( c. BR )’ as they hump it up the part 9 times out of 10! Made that half-Celtic mob last night look good :)
That McClean disnae half cover some ground,speaking of which ,last time I was there was Good Friday 2016! Only place selling drink! Also saw wee Karamoke that afternoon TALENT!

I’ve been once, never again, Walsall is a hotbed for the EDL, anti Irish songs throughout the match, made a hasty exit. But I’ve got a wee local where they put the hoops games on.

Vale has a bit of a hooligan element – but just hooligans
No pubs round me showing the bhoys so it’s BT and Sky

Serbia throwing themselves to the ground at every opportunity
MON going mad on the touchline

Teemu scores for Finland.
Corkcelt,
if this is a big improvement i would hate to see how bad
the last game was,although they should have had a penalty,
plenty effort but not much skill .

Teemu Pukki arrived alongside Amido Balde and Derk Boerrigter in 2013. Those were the days.
Well that is that, Only a win away to Wales, might get us into 2nd place & play offs but the sad truth is we have no business being in the Finals, we simply are not good enough.
Won’t stop me shouting my head off at the Wales game but when the dust settles, I’ll just be glad it’s all over.
I reckon Martin will go after the Wales game & it will be start all over again.
No news on the accounts.
Getting later every year.
Hopefully not news management.
Wonder what the cash position was on the 30th June?
North.of £20mill?
New Rule Idea- after 80 mins , any player from a team who is winning , who goes off park for treatment, he is off the pitch for 1 minute, and 1 minute added to injury time, any player booked for time wasting in injury time,1 minute added

Never make the trip to Brum?
The Irish Centre has shown games in the past.
