After the turmoil of Paris Saint-Germain, Celtic return to domestic duty tomorrow with the visit of Ross County. County won on the opening day of the season but have taken only one point from 15 since. They have been a soft touch for several teams in crisis recently, so in theory, this looks like a straightforward challenge for the champions.
This is the first of two games in the next five days, the other, a League Cup tie away to bottom club Dundee. After this, we go to Ibrox then Brussels. Without wanting to be overfly disrespectful to Ross County or Dundee (or, indeed, overly respectful to Newco), we should have two objectives for the next two games:
Rest limbs and minds which have been intensely exercised by international and Champions League football.
Intensely exercise limbs that have seen little action this season. Specifically Dedryck Boyata, Moussa Dembele and Patrick Roberts.
Patrick could do with a full 90 minutes. He was our best performer on Tuesday, but he’s clearly suffering from a lack of game time. Dedryck has targeted a starting place at Ibrox for months. To achieve this, he will need to play a lot of football this week.
There’s no guarantee Moussa would dislodge Leigh Griffiths from the line-up at Ibrox, even if fully fit, but the Champions League game away to Anderlecht is a different tie. This has to be his target, which leaves little time to build his sharpness.
Perhaps most importantly of all, I would rest Scott Brown tomorrow. The games ahead are simply too important to have images of a fatigued Scott fresh in the mind. Brendan should also consider a place for Lustig, Armstrong and Tierney on the bench.
Win tickets for Ibrox
Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, have given us two tickets for the visit to Ibrox on 23 September to raffle for Mary’s Meals. You know the script:

Does that mean they’re nae top of the League and there will be an 8 point gap next week.
Hehehehe
Well played Bankie Bhoy Paul McGinn on your Jags debut. Do them in the cup midweek son.
Wrong again, thot they would get the win, absolute pyoor pish they are.

Being a welfare rights officer I am no judgemental and rightly so
But I refused to go back not the Steps Bar as I wouldn’t give them my hard earned cash
Similar with Templeton building as it’s like drinking in the orc shops imho
Lurking Tim
I’m just being obtuse as you will appreciate
BT
Meeting Hrvatski for lunch before the game, and can meet you while the game is on. Would need to be at CQN corner to meet CRC when the game ends. If that works, let me know where and when to meet up.
Cheers
Ps.. see the zombies dropped points tonight. Woo hoo.
Well done Thistle. Couple of things strike me about Der Hun from tonight’s game. One, they are physically quite fit. Two, a couple of decent finishes for their goals.
On the other hand…diving bassas, and mentally all over the place at the end when cool heads could have won it. Or as coaches say, they had problems with arousal control.

Pedro must go. I don’t mean that. Pedro please stay.
Corkcelt
Aye pal. Bang on! :)
Pleasure to meet you and Mick. First of many hopefully.

YES ! 2-2 Jags v Huns
I had a correct score 2-2 @ 16/1.
So much for the best squad on the planet going top of the league ?
Pedro C. STILL can NOT get 3 wins in a row !
I listened to the last few minutes on the radio, and they are saying that Huns 2nd goal should NOT have happened as Jags were denied a CLEAR THROW IN in the build up…typical Hun Ref and linesman I believe ?
HaHaHa
Good away point for Sevco I see

Partick Thistle 2-2 Rangers
We are into four minutes of stoppage time and they win a corner, with Ryan Edwards, who was about to be replaced, doing well to win the set-piece.
‘they’?
Glasgow giants gutted at dropping 2 points
Sevco were pure ragin as well
See Sevco won a deserved draw tonight. Shame that!
MWD
Watched some of the Bournemouth game. Is this what they are receiving millions forin Egerland? Oh dear, who told Sky or BT this was football.They have been deceived.
Mighty Jags held!
BT

I strongly suspect that was their one and only chance to “lead the league” this season. Oh well….
Re bbc commentator Liam McLeod…boy’s a sheepie, million miles from being a hun, wife’s a big Tim and Liam would side with us every time v the huns…just doing his job, making it sound exciting…
Great to meet up with MIT/B/G on Tuesday. Obviously he has being enjoying himself and hope he continues to do so. Great Tim and if you get a chance to meet him you will be as impressed as I was.
Great to meet Magwai also, you need to post more.
Big thank you to the legend that is Gearóid98. Thanks to him I get to see Dublin in the All Ireland final on Sunday.
Up de Dubs. Two more sleeps.

*there was this tae :
Gordon Smith Former SFA chief executive
Magnificent finish. Declan John had the ball on the left and played it inside to Dorrans. Thistle were disappointing because no-one closed him down. He picked the ball up, about 20 yards out, and fired it into the net.
*Gers* can go top
So, Rangers don’t go top. Because they didn’t get four goals.
Oh, and they didn’t even win.
Oh, and they aren’t even Rangers…..
