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!

Sally Mc Pie on SevcoTV behaving as if everything is done and dusted .. Where are the creditors?
Lets hear from them and the impact the loss of revenue has had..
Silly me. It’s Scotland.. Only on thing matters, the self promotion of a 3rd div outfit that played their first league match as one of 2 teams-that seems to have been forgotten.. Like so much..
I m wary of them..
Anyway..
The MSM continues its propaganda ..

Lenny refused to comment on the fttt but generalised on the stewardship of some clubs in the past 10 to 15 years to cause the turmoil over the past 6 months.
Well said Lenny.
Lenny on stv advises,
Two divisions of 12 looks like they are looking for quantity over quality.
Some boards have to have a look at themselves and their administration of the game, the turmoil over the last 6 monthe cound have been avoided :o)
That’ll be another Sevconian world record….. 1st bottom tier game called off due to too many tickets sold!
Suspect thon deid team’s phoenix didn’t fancy another defeat on the road.
By the bye, wee Jinky and Tommy Burns both used to regularly attend the lunchtime Mass at St Michael’s.

Are we talking about the same Chris White.? As he went up to sixth year at St Joes in Dumfries. And he was certainly the sone of Desmond!
Agree with your thoughts, as he was a very academic individual but useless at sports!
If I remember correctly Chris Whites chosen sport was sailing!
Don’t think he liked fitba
Good evening friends. I love Friday evenings!
Never in the history of zombie fitba have so many bears wanted to sit so much on so few seats.
Pity, it was a top of the table clash… due to be shown live on ESPN.
Hopefully to be rescheduled for darkest, coldest January or February.
Oh, my aching sides!
Motive behind the restructure of the spl has nothing to do with fast tracking, it is to change the voting structure.
there, I caught up all by my self, I might be slow but I’m rough :o)
Mail van pulls up in my street today with what looked like a wee (apprentice) boy learner postie being shown the ropes by the usual guy. Then noticed two of them in a wee huddle looking at my delivery.
They looked back at the door as they were leaving, and I’m not a professional lip-reader but they looked a bit cross and the older one seemed to mouth words that began with ’F’ and ’B’ in the general direction of my house. Must have noticed and read the spine of the great looking CQN Annual which was thrust through the door like a frisbee.
Well done to Paul67 and all the ghuys who have contributed. Looks great, and will keep me busy for a while.

Brazil manager Mano Menezes sacked
Big Phil Scolari back in the frame
I heard that Elgin sold the correct number of seats but didn’t realise the Orcs need 3 seats per person on account of their fat arses !
Allegedly Grampian Police said: “We were faced with the prospect of at least 1,100 extra fans turning up, and one or two extra Zombies”

Chris Whyte – true story:
Let’s say I heard it from the horse’s mouth. A certain player asked for complimentary tickets for Del Ammatri(sp).
CW asked him after the game: “did your pal Del enjoy the game?”
What happened the Elgin ticket money?
Was Chris White not more interested in rowing ?

When it came to doing what was right instead of what was wrong they could not do the right thing by making proper provision for the potential tax bill and cutting back spending on players.
They could not do what is right because their moral compass is facing the wrong way.
It still is and thar be rocks ahead. Nothing coming from them and their media allies suggest any lessons have been learned, after all what they did was “right”.
Evening guys,
Mega busy this week, just managed to watch the Barca game a few times this week. Anything been happening?
Being oldish, it’s funny how your mind can play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things slightly differently, like who did what when etc. hey but I still know I love to watch the Celtic.

Banda bing, never in six years at Dumfries. He may have taken up sailing. Couldn’t kick a ball or even try.
Guy broke in to my house and stole 30 cases of Red Bull,I don’t know how he sleeps at night….
stv announce 60% of sectarian crimes are against Catholics, that is a big announcement for this country
Larsson80.
Young Oliver Jones sounds like he’ll fight his corner and put his points across articulately.
We need more like him.
Elgin cant confirm the number of tickets they sold :oD))))
th abacus is broke
canamalar-I think Bourne posted RCs are only 19% of the population.

Heard the Del Amitri story years ago.
Always thought it was that other buffoon director Tom Grant.
The band were big Celtic fans and were met by Grant who, allegedly, asked – “Is Del coming as well?” (I paraphrase). Cue fits of laughter and rolling about the floor!
HH!!
Maybe Elgin were just copying the free ticket policy

Bourne-It was spectacular,the one a few weeks ago when he took out the mouthy wee boy,who could have been his young apprentice was a shocker.Watching Falcon on Sky Atlantic which is pretty good too.
