While captain Scott Brown will return to first team action this week, with the league encounter with Aberdeen out of the way, Brendan Rodgers will almost certainly continue to rest players ahead of the teams next meeting in the Scottish Cup Final.
Getting it right for Hampden is only one aspect the manager will be concerned about. Celtic’s first Champions League qualification round starts eight weeks tomorrow, between now and then the entire squad has to get their annual rest period and a significant portion of preseason. Several will also be on international duty four weeks from now.
While you and I want to see out the league programme undefeated, it is more important players are rested for the various cup finals which take place between now and the end of August. The Partick Thistle game on Thursday doesn’t register on what is important.
Celtic FC Foundation
Six days from now, while you are watching Celtic skelp Hearts, I’ll be running my first marathon, in aid of the Celtic Foundation. I’m now in mild panic about what lies ahead, but on this Anniversary month, it’s important that we pay more than lip service to what being a Celtic supporter is all about.
If you are able to, please support the Foundation here. If you are unable to, perhaps you know the Hail Mary…….
Thank you for the unbelievable support I’ve received so far. There will be a time on Sunday when it will fuel the legs.

Saw an item on the one show about cross rail project which cost £15bn – escalators made in Czech – wonder how much spent on uk manufacturers
……and to be fair there are only two, (maybe three at a stretch) Companies who could have provided the escalators, none of them manufacture in the UK, at least they are not getting the Chinese version

My parking letters dried up a while back, but funny enough I got another one last week again.
Filed it accordingly!
Mea Culpa we have had obviously different experiences there, it was some time ago I was there so maybe standards have dropped. MurdochMacgrainLarsson tell them to go Italian instead and go to La Laterna on Hope Street just across the road if not it’s the Ho Wong. H H Hebcelt

Last Friday night we witnessed Shay Logan try to incite the Celtic Support
—————–
He didn’t do anything that I haven’t seen Scott Brown or Lenny or a number of other Celtic players do before. If it’s one of us, it’s laughed off, as it should be. Football supporters in general can give it out but can’t take it.
Now Tonev should never have been charged by the SFA, as you say it was one man’s word against another, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. I tend to believe Logan, as I would believe Sinclair in similar circumstances, people don’t tend to make up these accusations. On the balance of probabilities I think he probably did racially abuse him, but that shouldn’t be enough for a conviction. The subsequent booing of Logan since the Tonev incident is at best distasteful. I wouldn’t be surprised if he harbours a grudge. Perfectly understandable imo.
The most disappointing thing on Friday night was that BT felt the need to turn down the audio of the songs coming from our support on at least 2 occasions. In the world’s eyes we are as bad as the huns. That’s utterly humiliating. The day will come when Brendan Rodgers is asked about these songs and tasked with speaking out against them. That will be a sad day, and the humiliation will be complete.
……….
What songs?

‘What songs?’
###
I’ve asked him that, but he hasn’t said.
Maybe he doesn’t know because he couldn’t hear them.
Has Reggie still got the Blinkers on?
Dragon -i, nope not for me. First drink and glass had bright luminous lipstick on it.
Obviously BT had been in before me :-)
No real apology from staff either… boo!
From Express : Moussa Dembele reveals Celtic decision amid Premier League interest
MOUSSA DEMBELE has vowed to lead a new and improved Celtic charge on the Champions League next season.
He said: “When you are young you watch the Champions League and want to play in it.
“When you do it, especially at my age, it is like a dream. It was everything I hoped it would be.
“To come up against great players was a great learning experience for us.
“It was good to compare ourselves to the top clubs.
“We have seen what we have to do to get there and we will work hard to do better next season.
“The manager knows what he has to do to make the team better.
“We will be better prepared. We have played a whole season together and have done great. Next season will be better, although I can’t say it will be easier.
“One thing is for sure, we have improved this season and are now a better team.”
He added: “I have learned a lot this season and I will keep learning until I finish playing.
“I have enjoyed living in Glasgow. You can see that with my performances on the pitch.
“It was tough at the beginning because you don’t know the city, but I have got to know Glasgow and it is a nice city to live in.
“I want to play in the cup final, but it is not up to me.
“It is up to the injury. I have to take my time and not rush back. If I make it then I will be happy.”
DD- quite a good Indian curry in the Clay Oven , a few doors down from Jinkys, on same side , on the main road not The Strip HH
I’m assuming Reggie is referring to rebel songs?
Well I’m afraid he better get used to it.
Sung from the day we were founded and they will be sung till the day God decides Celtic will die.
As advised, Ive disabled JavaScript to get rid of annoying popups on CQN
But I still get Reggie’s posts!

Couldnae hear the sound going down on the songs. The Horse and Barge crowd were joining in the singing fae Pittodrie via the telly.
The last time you were home I was in Barcelona. This time I will be in Lisbon. Gonnae come home mair often. :)
Sorry I am missing you in Dalmuir on Sunday.
Could get happily messy.
ERNIE LYNCH
Maybe he doesn’t know because he couldn’t hear them.
Or maybe he is Pat Nevin, who hears things nobody else does?
Embramike – thx for posting that.
I believe Kolo has been a big part of his settling in Glasgow. His role in the bhoys development has been important.
BB
Magic. That should encourage my daughter along to Jinky’s, if there is a curry for supper. Haha
