I don’t think any of us regarded the possibility of playing a Champions League qualifier in San Marino next month as likely, but after La Fiorita left Belfast with only a single goal deficit, the prospect of playing the next round in an historically dubious territorial entity remains real.
Linfield were right to make provisions for the possibility of facing Celtic in the next round, but smiling executives and comments of making £1m on the tie is asking for it. The lesson for all of us is take care of the next game.
Football in June and July is a random lottery. We’ve learned this lesson often enough, but it’s worth reminding everyone again.
Yesterday we learned that the Supreme Court will publish its verdict on Rangers’ Big Tax Case next week. This one has had so many twists along the way it’s impossible to call. Whatever the outcome, there will be no surprise.
We may discover that Rangers tax affairs were not legal, not open to other clubs, and therefore bestowed an unfair sporting advantage. Or it may be that Income Tax was optional all those years. Place your bets.

Fair play to you for taking your profanity elsewhere
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 29TH JUNE 2017 6:13 PM
Great to hear that.
A bit of balance to my previous post suggests the young feller said this on joining our club:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Celtic. It’s a massive honour to sign for the Scottish champions and one of the world’s truly great clubs.
“It’s also a great opportunity for me to continue to develop as a footballer under Brendan Rodgers.”
“I’m looking forward to meeting up with my new Celtic team-mates. I know there’s a lot of hard work ahead of me but I am ready for this, I’m looking forward to the challenge and I can’t wait to get started.”
So, no a cock but a well balanced young member of the footballing fraternity. TFFT.
Get stuck in there bhoy.
This is not Ipswich.
Welcome to Celtic kundia
I wish you every success.

Had a look at the Munters site after that disaster of a result.Not one criticising,as if they are too terrified to say what they think.Absolutely bullshitting themselves.Stupidest,dumbest,most gullible,ugliest,most servile idiots ever.Afraid to say they are shit,even when they believe it,and have paid to watch it.
Endless fun ,these cretins
Turkeybhoy, a quick look on hunmedia told me the DOBS aint happy with:
– Cool hand Caxio. Mr rosary himself
– Their players…………………..any of them:, awe thay papes oan thi park:_)
They are shitting themselves already and are conceding 2nd in the league before a ball is even kicked.
Hibs, Hearts, St J and ABZ will all be out to kill them off.

Thanks for the information, I’ll be trying to use it today. There are multiple wind-ups to be read before the fitba’s back.
hi bhoys good morning from a cloudy but not raining west cheshire.
Jim McGuinness has stepped down from his role at Celtic to take up a coaching position with Chinese club Beijing Sinobo Guoan.
In 2012 the former Donegal GAA coach was given a role at Celtic that covered sports science and psychology.
Working mainly with the development squad the popular coach served under Neil Lennon, Ronny Deila and Brendan Rodgers and assisted Tommy McIntyre last season with the Development squad.
Celtic was his first job in soccer but after five years in Glasgow he has decided to test himself in China.
After accepting an offer to work with Roger Schmidt McGuinness told The Irish Times: “It’s a fantastic opportunity. It’s a level up for me and a great honour to be asked. Roger is a really prestigious European coach and just to be part of his management team is a great privilege. I also feel that it’s great timing in terms of taking the next step forward in my own coaching career.
“In terms of Celtic, every decision that was made was with their knowledge. Dermot Desmond, in particular, was implicit in any decision made. And I’d like to think that the umbilical cord won’t be cut. Everyone in the club has been hugely supportive and hopefully I will return there someday as a better coach.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A pity – I hope he does come back some day
Morning Celts
Now bhoys, who is the last piece in the jigsaw puzzle?
Could it be Paddy?, im starting to doubt that.
I reckon we will have to qualify before we know.
Brendan dropping a few hints on the type of player he wants.
Maybe a big lump of a striker to compliment Moussa and Griff?
Who knows, but i will say this. Sevco are in trouble:)

Hmmmm strange? The GB & The Celtic Trust obviously have no knowledge of this?
Another letter from them on this?
Decision making without informing them? Shocking.

I’v been told that John Brown has been given the new job as language and communication tutoring for the squad. So I doubt they will be exhausting the alphabet then?
‘WE NEED TO COMMUNICATE,’ MILLER 0
BY EDITOR ON JUNE 29, 2017 RANGERS
KENNY MILLER’S biggest fear is the ability of his Rangers teammates to overcome the language barrier more than the opponents in tonight’s Europa League First Round qualifier at Ibrox.
Progress Naechance the minnows from Luxembourg will be the first European side to play at Ibrox ever and the Rangers fans have responded by selling out tonight’s encounter.
The veteran striker, who signed a one year contract extension at the end of last season yesterday accepted that explaining the WAN about his wife’s earings with the new summer signings is anything but easy!
Dalcio and Fabio Cardoso, both from Portugal Alfredo Morelos, a Columbian and the two Mexicans Carlos Pena and Eduardo Herrera are all tasked with learning GLESWEEGN as quickly as possible.
“Having the influx that we have had will create more ability which is something we probably haven’t had enough of in recent years,” Miller stated.
“The new lads have been settling in fine. They have been coming in over the last three weeks and will be getting paid in dribs and drabs but this is a great place to come to so it’s always easy to settle in wanst they learn about the CULCHIR.
“The only small issue we have got is too many of them are KAFFLIKS , which I’m sure will be addressed over the course of the season.
“Communication is huge, particularly playing in an environment with 50,000 people let in free cheering you on. It can be so noisy you can barely hear yourself smiling at all the ugly burds doon the front, never mind wondering about awe the court cases coming up
“So you do need to be able to communicate with your team-mate next to you and that is something that will probably have to get better as the season goes on.
“When you’re in the heat of the battle you end up screaming things and people will be looking at you and thinking, diz this guy rub oranges on his boat.diz he thin am as saft as his wife.
“But it’s something that definitely needs to improve as dayin drugs an no payin tax is crucial to all team sports.
“Right now we’ll just be looking to get wee words or phrases, football terminology, passed on that can help the new lads in the heat of battle.”

Im sure the new sevco signings wull be picking up ra patter shortly.
‘Feenyins’, what is this word they call me:)
Should be hilarious once the new sevco kaffliks discover that their fellow players hate them:)
What could go wrong eh:)
HH
Good morning from a dry and bright North staffs.
A lot of mirth surrounding the performance of newco last night – however we had our own failure this time last year and look how that panned out – just saying like.
Gene on 30th June 2017 9:25 am
If you’re struggling at home against a team like that then it IS time to worry ;)
HH
I was really disappointed that St J lost last night – no wonder our coefficient is so bad.
I’m surprised that Celtic , didn’t install,safe standing,in the Jock Stein,stand,?

St Johnstone players should be forced to play the rest of the season with dunce hats on.
Good morning from a grey, damp and could Central Highlands.
But I don’t care, cos I am flying out of Inversneck today with Mrs H, for a few days in Londres to reconnect with 21st Century society, before an onward flight to Cagliari for 10 days of sun, food, beer and vino (we don’t do sea). First time on Sardinia, looking forward to it.
Just hope ma Sellicktv works there.

Could = cauld

One major difference is the fact we have a manager who knows football inside out. One who can improve players . One who can change the system when necessary. A motivator, and a guy who is here because he lives and breathes Celtic.
Sevco have a dud managing duds, and that’s never going to end well. It’s going to be yet another damaging episode in the short lifespan of The Rangers. Their manager has blown their limited funds on unknowns, and a talented but ageing centre half.
If they’re languishing 15 to 20 points behind Celtic in January, what do they do? Sack Pedro? Leave his duds in situ?
They’re on the road to nowhere. A cup final or 2, and a draw v Celtic will be their biggest success in 17/18.
