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.

Huns spouting the usual permarage over on wallow wallow about the fanzone. Apparently it’s a disgrace that families are allowed to have some fun and the precedent has been set so they have to have it when Sevco are back in Europe.
Guess we won’t have to worry about that for a wee while then…
Away to catch a train…

Good morning from a startlingly bright, cool Mojave Desert morning.
Game on obscure TV channels here, but sorted with a good sports bar that will have it on for the Las Vegas Celtic Supporters Club, members- one.
Other than a brief lurk, not been on CQN as much recently, as my business has taken off way ahead of my anticipations and experience. Time is precious just now, and on the go 14 hours a day during the week. Not complaining though, keeps me out of trouble according to she who must be obeyed.
For those US based, today’s game will be replayed on the more accessible Fox Sports 2 at 6pm Eastern/9 Pacific.
Happy Birthday TurkeyBhoy, I htrust the Bhoys will deliver a cherished birthday pressie!
Cafe Paradiso?
A glorious fall day in Toronto.
The game is on TSN here, so I can watch the bhoys play (woo hoo!) while I finish up a few things before heading up to the cottage for a few days.
Life is good.
C’mon the Celllllllllllllllllltic
