Celtic players appear to have a justifiable confidence in each other. They have beaten their four nearest league challengers, scoring an incredible 15 goals in the process, qualified for the Champions League group stage and knocked Manchester City out of their stride in a manner which seemed improbable, considering their first competitive game of the season in Gibraltar.
Justifiable confidence extends to the support as well. Celtic players and opponents alike know the levels of support and encouragement the home team can expect from Celtic Park. “You’ll need to take on all of us”, appears to be the mantra. And that really is improbable.
Don’t be fooled by talk of Borussia Monchengladbach being weaker than last season. Last night I watched Bayer Leverkusen, who sit below Gladbach in the Bundesliga, give Tottenham a long and taxing evening. They will be fit, skilful and accomplished across the field.
This will be a huge test, but it’s not the first we’ve faced in Europe. You know the job required, let’s get on with it.
Take a look at the above Tweets from Mary’s Meals this morning. You did that. You put food on the table of some of the poorest, most malnourished, children on the planet. Well done on another astonishing achievement.
Resting on laurels is for others. Being a Celtic supporter doesn’t finish here.
Celtic sponsor, Intelligent Car Leasing, have given us two North Stand (Celtic supporters area) tickets for the Cup semi-final to raffle. To win the pair, email the address below with the correct spelling of Monchengladbach (clue, this is not a trick question).
All entries will be considered, even if you are close, but not totally accurate. This is more about having a chance to talk to you about about what comes next. We’re getting to that time of year when the poorest in our own community are most in need of assistance, many of whom are now aided by the Celtic Foundation. The work the Foundation does with Scotland’s poorest in winter is literally a lifesaver.
The last ticket competition winner made a donation to the Foundation. It was a coincidence. Honest……. If you would like to make a donation to the Foundation, you can do so here. As you head off to Celtic Park, or settle down in front of the TV tonight, you’ll feel better knowing that you played your part in the biggest picture that’s carried Celtic all these years. Be part of the story.
Entries to competition@celticquicknews.co.uk . There were few entries yesterday, so chances of success are relatively high. Competition closes at 14:00 tomorrow, winner will be informed that day. Make sure I have contact details for you.
Good luck, and enormous thanks to Intelligent Car Leasing.

I can put up with most things but jokes about being deaf is the final straw.
As I am partially deaf I am takin’ that as a personal slight.
I also know people who are deaf.
Shockin’ just shockin’!

I hope Michael is ok! I’m sure he’ll be all the better for the braw vibes been sent his way.
Things that make you smile.
Today I read about Celtic setting up a fan zone in George Square and how in the middle of October the sun shone on them and by all accounts a good time has been had by all.
Now thats not what made me smile, what made me smile was the OO done the same thing 2 Summers ago for “ra people ” and got droont with a flood of biblical proportions.

Good point!
Thanks for the birthday wishes for “mini TTT”.

She is on the second leg of her birthday tour of Ireland.
Stated in Donegal. Is in Dublin as I type then heading for Galway via Sligo, before turning to London.
She is cramming it ll in before she returns to London to await the call to Abu Dhabi.

!!Bada Bing!!
no idea
not my terroir

WDH-Thanks for reply,hope you are well HH
Right aff oot, Bungo bound – behave.
I am at work.
I have done very little all day.
Some of you may have noticed.
I am a bit nervous about tonight’s game as I have no doubt BMG will be anything but pushovers.
On the other hand I am heartened and encouraged by the progress we are making under Brendan’s tutelage (is that a word?) especially our display against the EPL billionaires.
If we can replicate that performance and maintain it for 90 minutes, I think we could win 5-0.
C’MON THE CELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTT
one word for mini TTT

I will give you a FIVER for every goal we score tonight.
