Within a few hours the first leg of our Summer Cup Final will be upon us. Make no mistake about it, these are the biggest games of our season.
The players and manager have learned plenty about European football over the last four weeks to know the scale of the task. Maribor will be given due respect but the importance of Saturday’s win over Dundee United cannot be overestimated. Players’ confidence will have received a welcome boost, while some will have realised the weight of responsibility lies with them.
Since the draw I have written enough about the strengths of Maribor, but they are weak at the back – and they are showing all the signs of over-confidence. Having watched us against Legia, this lot will be shocked if a different Celtic turn up tonight. Their fans, media and officials are emotionally spending their Champions League windfall already.
Most of all, we need a disciplined performance from Celtic. No conceding penalties, getting caught in possession deep in your own half, or second yellows. Stick to the basics, stay alert and we have an excellent chance of progressing; this is not a team with irresistible talent.
For a few players, they have the chance to claim a great reputation at the club. What an opportunity…..

Thanks for Charlie Nic’s contribution. Apparently we were paying 70000 a week to players.
Sleekit McCann thinks we should break the budget, perhaps we should set up EBTs to pay wages neil?

COYBIG !!!
Had a suspicion he would leave out Commons. Too slow and a luxury we can’t afford tonight. Not the first time a Celtic manager has left out Kris away from home. Team looks ok no real cause for folk to be alarmed let’s hope its not a 4 3 3. Stokes needs to work his backside off.
Trying to work out new ways for us to lose our obligatory 3 goals away fom home …assuming we do ill revise this afternoons prediction to 3 -2 having seen the teams.
Come on, Celtic!
Free shot!
Hail! Hail!

Grammar and spelling are basics. You don’t appear to have either of them. Get off the back of our manager and support our team.
1-0 Super Mac!
so far, so good.
Forgive me if already common knowledge……..

Many thanks for the advice. Things looking up here! At a new location near Placa Espana and have already spotted one decent place and been recommended to try La Bodega. I di like a bit of morcilla right enough.
