I’m getting beside myself with annoyance at the emergence of blog and online distractions ahead of the most important game of the season. Darling-Salmond do not get my heart pounding, Henrik Larsson’s summer conversation with Celtic (he was asked if he was interested, he said he’s not ready, nothing more than that), and despite the need to sign players, they would be pointless if we don’t win tonight.
This is our Cup Final, our biggest game of the season by some margin. This game determines what pace our development project proceeds at, what players we can attract and who we can afford. For the season ahead, this is our α and Ω.
For the players, it is a joy. A gift. This is their chance to perform a task they are more than capable of in front of an appreciative crowd. For Ronny and Johnny, it is their first stake in the ground.
Don’t assume it will be straightforward. It could be a long night, we may lose the first goal, but it takes a brave team to leave Celtic Park with the spoils on a European night. We have to remain patient early on; Maribor will tire as the game progresses. The final 15 minutes should be Celtic’s most productive.
Enjoy the game.

My timing was wrong team out as I posted. Ambrose right back and Lustg central defender. Denayer drops to bench.
Ffs.
I can’t believe Craig Gordon is being rushed back so soon after his lunchtime injury.
It is at games like today’s I miss the buzz.
While the sun is shining from a clear blue sky, the community pool is shimmering in the heat, I am completely unimpressed.
CQNers are travelling the M8, negotiating Bridgeton Cross and riding trains to the epicenter of midweek sporting attention.
Celtic Park used to have a couple of webcams where we could see the crowds arriving and even see a wee wave from family and friends.
Instead I now rely on CQN posters to let us know how they are travelling where they are and how excited they feel.
They came from Carfin and from Shotts
Greenock and Dumfries
But their leader was a Norwegian man
Mulgrew, one of Kirkie’s own.
Ah know its the pressure building

Thanks for the help. The food was lovely and I’m now relaxing with a pint of the black stuff as I wait for the real business to begin.
Come on the Celts

Relieved and feeling fortunate to have found a US channel showing the game live after no go with CelticTV for the ‘most important game of the season’. Highly ambivalent about corporate broadcasting rights right now….
Looking forward to this and the next step in RD making his mark.

Roll on the Future…

Just Logged on to Radio Clyde online…..
Oh my weeping God…..
Like having a pint with the village idiot, who called his dug Prodi,in Glasgow 30 years ago…..
Every one of the panellists and contributors sound like something from the movie ‘Deliverance’.
Duelling banjoes…….
Embarrassing local radio embarrassing locals
I am fairly confident that our opposition have noted the weakness down the left side for us, put Lustig on the left with Mathews at right back ,Izzy on the bench and Mulgrew in the stand as far away from the action as possible and we’ll be fine!! 3-1 HH
Jim white says celtic got a reprieve but that’s all in the past then mentions it again20 minutes later.But it doesn’tbother him-much
Not in Bonnie Scotland tonight so had to give up my ticket. No local pubs showing the game but I’ve managed to connect to a free but weak wi-fi signal. The CQN updates will see me through.
I’m confident Ronnie’s match preparations will be much better planned than mine!
2-0 to the Hoops.

There’s nothing quite like a European night at CP.
We all know that.
…but so do Maldini, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi…and countless others.
HH!!
Mental this……….been in toons I’ve never been in for years Holytown Bellshill and noo we’ve stopped for Diesel. The burning ell from the brakes is overwhelming and noo Teuchter wants to drive.
C’mon the Celtic

You’d better get the finger out or you will miss our first goal
Is Dermot there tonight?
Just asking like….
alasdair maclean
Hate to be the 1 to break it to you but they have.
Never mind…..a Celtic victory tonight will be the perfect tonic :)
Left work an hour ago, with the sounds of the heathen hoards ringing in my ears! Backing the Hoops all the way!!!!! It’s good for the Co – efficient they say………..Aye right, the pain is etched across their Barnets……Yaldy!!!!! 2-0 will do nicely
Sadly having to listen to that clown Keith Jackson at Paradise on UAE BeIn Sports….
…managed to mention that “things are flat since the zombies died for Celtic”
anyhooooo….
gutted not to be there, Living room decked in the colours, the varicose veins all in their Celtic Onesies. Promised them at least one home and one away game in the CL as in the last two seasons if we get there.
Best to all. COYBIG!
Got it on ITV 4.
Kenny Dalglish and Gordon Strachan pitch-side pre-match.
