Celtic recorded victories over Dundee and Hearts after their first two Champions League games but collected only one point from the two league games following the double header against Barcelona. They also won after only two of their four Champions League qualifying games, so there is no reason to expect a convincing win against Inverness tomorrow.
Inverness slumped to a freak 1-5 defeat at home to Motherwell last week but that was their first defeat since the same team beat them earlier this season. Like Celtic at the Camp Nou, they will be set on defending deeply at Celtic Park in order to prevent another collapse. This could be an occasion for Paddy McCourt to prize them open.
I had a look at the Europa League group tables last night. Udinese, who eclipsed us in the same competition last season, are bottom of their group this year, as are PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao (who beat Manchester Utd home and away last season) and Helsingborgs. Other recent opponents Rapid Vienna and Hapoel Tel-Aviv are also bottom.
If you’re on Facebook there is a story on the CQN Magazine page about Benfica implying Celtic only beat Barcelona because of cheating. Drop in and take a look. On a related subject, I’ve some good material from Spartak in reserve for the days before their visit.
The Annual Remembrance Service, held by the Celtic Supporters’ Association, takes place tomorrow, in memory of Celtic fans no longer with us, with prayers offered for those departed during the last year, including Joe McBride.
The Mass, at St Michael’s at 1350 Gallowgate just up from Parkhead Cross, will start at 12:30 and should be over in around 30 minutes, after which refreshments will be available in the hall to warm you before you head to the game. All are welcome to celebrate the memory of those who have gone before us.
Lost wedding ring alert! Someone found a wedding ring in Lisbon which was probably dropped by a Celtic fan. Let me know if you know who is walking around with their hand in their pocket this week.
Get your CQN Annual here, an enormous resource from the keyboards of Celtic fans!

Elgin realised they’d sold too many tickets and contacted the Police.
*Allegedly – Allez LeCoist has demanded to know the names of every Elgin fan that
bought a ticket*
CF or should that be Sergent Schultz :o)
agreed, but then would anyone get an answer if they ask
its probably a national security issue
Auld Dessie White was a chartered accountant was he not?
Always had a head for figures.
‘How many through the turnstiles today, then?’
‘51,255 Mr White’.
‘31,255? Looked bigger to me! All right then.’

To which particular inane question of mine do you refer?
Wonder how long it will be before QPR announce Arry is the new manager?
A wee shot at selective/deceptive reporting:
T’Rangers’ match against Elgin City on Sunday has been called off on police advice.
Speculation had risen that the council would order all licensed premises to remain closed until an hour after the final whistle to minimise the risk of drunkenness and disorder.
However, these rumours were said to be unfounded, and with more than 1000 extra tickets sold, there was a “major concern” about safety.
T’Rangers issued a statement saying that due to circumstances completely outwith the club’s control, the match against Elgin City has been called off on safety grounds, and that the manager was disappointed about missing out on two dozen Elgin bridies.

I and my 3 kids will not be at the game tomorrow in support of the GB and the lack of support from Celtic ESP Pedro on the harassment of Celtic fans. It was also disturbing this week to hear that Celtic were helping to provide information for Dawn raid on young Celtic fans…..which does not surprise me one bit.
I hear tonite that Lenny wakens up and wants to meet 5 GB members to know what is going on; why does he not speak to Pedro and the Celtic security services who would give the Stasi a run for their money in targeting their own people.
Celtic Park without the GB will be like a funeral parlour. If the club do not make a dramatic change of approach toward the GB I will not renew my 4 season tickets and will pick and choose games next season and without TFOD may only attend a handful of games.
In fact this season I have enjoyed the away games more in the SPL and today I dealt with that lovely lady Nicola in the Hibs ticket office to secure 4 tickets for 29 December.
So next season it will be away games for me ; it’s time Pedro and Lennon stopped the BS and played fair with the GB.
I don’t like funeral parlours.
can the t’rankers not play in a regional league against tdead leeds and t’carlisle and ………..
The new iPhone is amazing. The screens so big that you don’t have to keep scrolling down to see what league rangers in.
