Nervous? Oh yes. Any one of a number of things can go wrong, up to and including a red card while conceding a penalty. Celtic will need to score three without reply before any of us relax tonight. It’s the kind of challenge which should be completed within 15 minutes but Brendan Rodgers is right to call for patience. Any rush to get the job done could produce fatal consequences.
18 years ago this week, in front of a packed and newly completed Celtic Park, Larsson, Lambert, Boyd, Rieper, Burley and co. faced an equally unfancied St Patrick’s Athletic but couldn’t put the ball in the net. And they guys knew a thing or two about playing the game. Football isn’t played on paper, sometimes you need reservoirs of patience to invest in this sport.
Remember to get along early to see the league title flag unfurled before kick-off. I know we’ve seen 11 of these events since 2001 but we should never take it for granted.
…………….and the game is on your season ticket.
Best wishes to Tony Watt, if he joins Hearts, and to Massimo Donati, who’s pitching his tent at Hamilton Accies this season. Both created great Champions League memories for us.
I know the Uefa response to Res 12 hasn’t been generally released but did Siri and Skybet get a copy as well as the SFA?

Astana score injury time winner
backs to the wall effort in kazakhstan it is then. home or away first?
Goalie came made a pigs ear of it and Astana scramble it home..
Play to the last whistle:))
Astana score in 93rd minute, Kazakhstan it is.
Oh well…maybe not as good as we thought.
HH
I’m sure we’re away 1st, assuming we qualify.
Full time 2-1
They obviously aren’t very good?
Astana bribing sub on 10 secs of injury time left.
We need to go down there and get a result it was always that way in Europe. Big noisy crowd, rubber pitch, we’ll need to be at our best…
Bribing? Bringing.
Follow, Follow… oh naw wait a minute por cierto

Hatch count and chickens come to mind
but if we don’t go through tonight then i’ll
scweam, scweam and scweam
Away to get ready for the game. Hopefully wee Roberts, Armstrong, McGregor and the Griff run riot.
3-0.
Between 2001-2008 Celtic beat Juventus, Porto, Valencia, Lyon, Benfica, Barcelona, Man United, Shakhtar Donetsk and AC Milan at Celtic Park.
So both goals came from a CB who is their captain
Presumably set pieces. Which we are bloody awful at defending.
I think it’s the same coach from Karagandy a couple of years ago

Did we not draw with Milan twice?
BSR,
They’re average….at home on an artificial pitch, way ahead in terms of competitive league games played…..we should beat them ;-))
H.H.
BSR
and on a positive note from 2008 -2015 lost to a few no marks

Please don’t tell me Astana play on a plastic pitch?
Oh….an their keeper is suspect ;-))
Need to remember where my actual seat is tonight.
Last few seasons had millions to chose from. Pick any one from 20.
Hail, Hail and down with the pesky weather forecasters. Rain all day my a@ se.

Karagandy coach was Kumykov. Astana coach is Bulgarian Stoilov.
I heard post match interview with the guy. He said that Astana can beat next team (Celtic or Lincoln) and go through to IV round.

Thanks
They definitely CAN beat Celtic.
Hello again from Seat 2A. Hopefully airborne before much longer. Still hopeful of a brief visit to The Corner! Say hello Big Weebobbycollins ;-)
I watched our wins againts Aberdeen and Motherwell from last home games of last season.
unleash Paddy, tell him to run at them all he wants, with someone always close behind to pick up the stray ball,
but seriously tell the wee man to shoot on sight.

Bike at Airport
Further 35 min delay!
BSR – car at airport, fortunately but going to be down to the wire now.

There are three videos on the website with all goals from the game.
