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!

HT –
arguably (isn’t everything) Kayal was our best midfielder on Tuesday. If he can get back to the form of a year ago he’d be in our (my) strongest 11.
Jobo
A fit and focused Beram would be a boost for our injury hit midfield, finding the right combination in midfield is the key to success I think..
C Beebies just turned on for the bairn, watching a programme called ‘ Timmy time ‘!!!!
How right they are.
Jobo
All about opinions pal. I think that he was lucky to wear our jersey again after his ‘performance’ at Rugby Park last season.
I know he’s young but he lacks discipline for me and needs to learn to keep things simple and maintain possession especially against better quality opposition.
Anyway, enjoy yer run fella.
Minty aka Mr Black calling for police investigation into leaking of information around FTT tribunal.
Good.
Maybe attention can now focus on why the tribunal sat in private.
It’s about time someone, not least the BBC, started questioning that decision.
Last day in Bonnie Scotland. Paradise beckons in about 6 hours. Hoping for a win before heading back across the Atlantic but feel blessed that I’ll see the Hoops regardless. Win, lose or draw……..
Is the Govan Emerald statement a new one? The issued one earlier in the week
Raspberry
No they’ve issues a new statement after one of their members, with legal representation, met with someone from Celtic FC.
issued……

You got link
Hamiltontim, Jobo
Kayal can be impetuous but he is perhaps the best suited of our midfielders to play the ‘Wanyama’ role. Although he doesn’t have the stature he does possess the bite and ability to perform the ‘water carrier’ role we’ll need against Spartak.
Right off for my (brrrrrr..) run.

The pool is quite something. I woke up thinking about it for no apparent reason.
Maybe coz the weather here is so wet wet wet. Dismal. Just like Wet Wet Wet.

Will probably be at the Pool’s Office just after 2pm if you’re around mate.

Exactly they are dead, sums it all up perfectly.
It is not over, not by a long chalk, as my namesake said; this is not the end this is just the beginning. There is a lot still to be played out and FPLG et al will have the smugness knocked out of them.
Keep the Faith!

“Rangers Boss Ally McC***t Tells SPL To Drop ‘Tax Probe’…
Scottish football: Rangers manager Ally McCoist called on the Scottish Premier League today to drop their probe into alleged secret payments to players in the wake of the club’s tax case success.
A tax tribunal delivered a majority verdict this week in favour of the Ibrox side, who were facing a claim by Revenue and Customs over their use of employee benefit trusts.
The decision could affect an SPL inquiry into payments to players under a previous Rangers regime. If found guilty the club could be stripped of titles.
The SPL confirmed today that the delayed hearing will now begin on January 29.
But McCoist said: “I would be extremely hopeful that common sense would now. prevail and they would drop it.”

Mornin’ bhoys, it’s cold out there.
Daly got his point across, I thought, despite being legalled within an inch of his life, such are the days in which we live.
@Blantrye, I was amused at your sighting of Mr Currie, a common enough sight around these parts. Sadly, I have to report that the bard will not be visiting Mcphaabs, as he is barred! (As am I, incidentally). Such are the troubles incurred when a staunch Hoops Hostelry goes “mixed”. Oh well.
I have a lot of information regarding Sevco, some speculative, some hard fact, but we’ll wait until events take their course. As Corleone said, “never let anybody outside the family know what you are thinking.”
What will be of interest is what heat the Sevconians can muster pre-Nimmo, and from whom it comes. The more the better, I say. Let’s see how much power they still wield. I would pay special attention to the cops. Who are these people!
Onwards and upwards!

It’s the same ‘forces of darkness’ which prop up ‘institutions’ like the r*****s, even to the detriment of all others in order to keep the pyramid intact.
“This must read covers dodgy legal professionals, machiavellian MPs, even shadier journalists, moles, and the unaccountability of MI5 which makes worrying reading.
Whilst explaining the important events of the ‘conflict’ Milne’s remarkable work leads us through a modern history lesson of the current pathetic state of British politics, the fact there is no real difference between New Labour and the Tories. Unfortunatley the miners strike helped many different organisations to exorcise the Right’s nemesis, powerful trade unions and has taken away the mouthpiece of the working man and woman.”

I was in Condorrat in the early 80’s, Maree Drive, then moved to Linlithgow.
I have a sister lives in Abronhill.
I’m in Graigmarloch quite often, a regular visitor to the graveyard! Loads of family and friends there, alas!
