Despite their mid-season status, KR Reykjavik should offer little genuine challenge to Celtic’s squad of Champions League experienced professionals. Still, the nerves tingle a little seeing a new management team lead the squad out of Glasgow Airport this morning.
Hopefully we have six qualifying games ahead. Where we sit right now, chances of qualification are high, but far from assured. There is a lot of work ahead.
It will be fantastic to see Martin O’Neill back at Celtic Park to lead Ireland against Scotland in the nations’ Euro 2016 qualifier. Seeing the traditional away side of the stadium covered in green, while Scotland fans occupy the bulk of the stadium, will provide an interesting photo opportunity. Apart from the ‘doe a dear’ lot, it’s likely to be a wall-to wall Celtic fan event. Good to see Roy Keane back too. In the away dug-out.
Hosting Scotland-England a few days later will cement the stadium’s position as a major event venue after a year of unique opportunities.
One of Adidas’ World Cup sponsor properties was to name and present Player and Goalkeeper of the Tournament. What could go wrong? Dragging the Adidas-sponsored and clearly embarrassed Lionel Messi up the stairs to receive his award looked contrived. Despite reaching the final and, at last, building a World Cup goals tally worthy of comment (5 across 3 tournaments), Leo wasn’t even Argentina’s best player.
These awards are subjective, so there are no right or wrong decisions, but this one brought Adidas derision.
Delighted for Germany. The demographics are moving against European football but the continental game has never been as strong.
Many thanks to everyone who bid on the auction or bought a raffle ticket for the signed canvasses last week. The raffle raised £604 and was won by CQN legend, Kolnbhoy. Funds from both canvasses are going to Glasgow the Caring City and The Cookie Jar Foundation.

You really have me flummoxed.
Al I asked was that The Manager gets the time and space to develop his team and, especially his young players, without moans and groans from the stands and the blogs; no matter how justified any individual feels is his right to express his opinion.
CQN is big on lists, maybe a list of comments on Celtic which meet your approval would be helpful
We cant have free expression, no need for anything more to be said right enough
Cheers h/t

I am not aware of the nature of the repairs that were abandoned, but I suspect they were cosmetic non-essential repairs that revealed the presence of asbestos. I doubt if anyone is in danger or the stadium is going to fall down in the absence of such repairs. It just means the stadium continues to deteriorate as a football venue. In other words, a dump is not necessarily a danger to the patrons.
GCC is responsible for issuing safety certificates and I don’t believe they would overlook safety issues just because of who it is.
I have heard we may be in for a wee surprise in tomorrows Celtic team there mayl be a place for big Efe but not a centre back but in right midfield to replace Broonie.I have no idea if it is true but will say it will be an interesting selection if it happens. H.H.

Mine has.

I am a big fan of Efe and much less so of kayal but I would rather keep the back four as it has so successfully been and play Beram in place of Scott Brown ( who is our most important player. Interesting to see who blooms in the absence of our captain).

Does anyone know what might be going on in the Glasgow area 08-15Sep.
My Godson is bringing his fathers ashes home and not too many hotels available.
Ryder Cup is 26-28Sep so don’t think that is the problem..?? TIA

Safety of stadia in Glasgow is sadly self certified. The clubs carry out their own audit and basically tell the council everything is fine.
I got a reply from GCC when I asked about the bit of roof that came off the Brooloan stand at a game last season, they said Sevco had assured them everything was fine. I was astonished that GCC didn’t even ask to see the contractors report, someone’s word was good enough.

As another tax bill drops through the door, that decision by the FTTT really sickens me. I’ve always been happy to contribute my “share” of the tax burden but it makes my blood boil to think I’m subsidising the public services enjoyed by multi millionaire footballers associated with an erstwhile sectarian establishment holding company.
TSD I asked you a perfectly reasonable couple of questions in a courteous manner if you are unable to respond without writing gibberish just lie or feign ignorance – that should;nt be too hard for you. Hebcelt
Old Tim nothing yey but I believe the tickets are enroute. We have hospitality in the Presidents/presidential lounge. See you there. Hail Hail Hebcelt

Being that you both seem knowlegible about stadia perhaps you can answer this. There has been a lot of debate on here about who actually owns the Bigot Dome.
Over here in the States if you see a piece of property that you are interested in buying and you don’t know who owns it, you can go to the local taxation office and find out who is paying the Real Estate taxes due, which would most likely be the owner(s).
Is there not a taxation/rates office in Glasgow or Scotland that one can go to to see who is paying the dues on the Dome…??
Courteousness beyond you
