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!

What are those numbers that appear on the bottom left of the screen on just about every Sky game. Today’s secret message shows 1136692229?

Im getting ma coat
Every time Lenny talks about “freshening things up” and every time we get more of the same.
Tooting
Did you get to see the game the other night?
I see sally is threatening people again on msm.
I wonder what would happen if Lenny used the same language!!!
3-0 for me today and kayal to run the show.
Cheers big nan.hail hail

Having been at Pittodrie last week more of the same will do fine
I know PFayr but I’m talking post European match.
St Michaels missed a trick today,
they should have sold tickets and
told all that there would be a free
meal at Parkhead, ( Parkhead being
the chapel hall),
All the glory hunters would have been
falling over themselves to be there .
Healthy attendance, but not as good
as it should have been ,
Yous missed a lovely and spiritual
mass…
There be goals in that their team…..

Loads of attack minded players on the bench also
Team makes some sense. It has an attacking edge to it. But Victor and Beram will need some help from the 4 attacking players to make sure we win possession far enough up the park.
Hate to criticize, but Neil really is sticking with Brown when all the evidence points to rest and surgery. One downside of this is that wee Dylan has had barely a sniff.
Good to see Charlie back in his strongest position, and hopefully Kayal can get his match fitness back. Enjoy the game, folks….
Singing Detective 12:53 I was in Northern League territory.
Where of course the Shifty Sicilians are blamed for everything. And if it wasn’t them then it must have been those Nasty Neopolitans =)

I think the bench is what we have left from fit players
Weeron
Lenny was interviewed re Brown yesterday
Continuing to play him is not making the injury any worse
And he was suffering from cramp on Tuesday…apparently he trained well this week
He said Brown will have his op after the Moscow game
Freshen up yada yada
Who can come in and add to the team
McCourt cheerleaders needn’t respond ….
I may have been tempted to give Lassad a start … He was very influential when he came on last week
….PFayr…
Yes, saw that. Scott didn’t look fit in his previous appearances, probably due to limited training. My own view is that playing unfit players is rarely a good idea, no matter how good they are when they ARE fit.
Still, I guess that’s why I do what I do, and Neil does what he does….:)

The Motherwell player should be cited for violent conduct.
He followed through after the Hearts player conceded.
unlucky black socks strike again…

Saw the coppers taking a very dangerous and offensive-looking small can of deodorant off a chap following a thorough going over – think it was the Lynx effect!

Thanks for the link
One day they may reprint the wee book ” one hundred and one cases a student should know” and include the HMRC appeal, hopefully written by BRHT.
