Relieved to get last night’s game out of the way. Ross County limited us to few chances. The opening goal was a shot which Erik Sviatchenko didn’t connect cleanly with, a defender tried to block but failed to make contact, only succeeding in blocking his keeper’s view, before the ball found the corner of the goal.
When the added two minutes at the end of the first half were announced, County visibly pulled tighter, waiting on the break. That was a mistake. In the most composed moment of the game, Stuart Armstrong twisted this way, then that, before carving an opening he took with aplomb.
We now have two days to recuperate ahead of the final game before the midseason break; our ninth game of what will be an exhausting month. We’ll talk more about this game tomorrow, it will be far from easy, so please don’t be misled by the 5-1 win over Newco earlier in the season. They are shambles of a football team, but this is a different challenge.
Thanks to everyone who supported our Mary’s Meals appeal for the Sean Devereux Primary School in Liberia this week, we’ve already achieved great things there.
Walfrid’s Wish
Our Foundation’s big project for 2017, Walfrid’s Wish, launched last night. It’s an opportunity for each of us to join the Foundation in a formal capacity – to be one of its Champions.
I think this is a key strategy for the future of Celtic. We’ve done so much in recent years to bring our founding sentiment back to the forefront of the club. The challenge remains to push the boundaries further, and to keep them there.
To achieve this, for years and decades to come, we need to organise. We need to keep telling ourselves what Celtic is all about, to encourage each other share and live our common values, and – hopefully – make participation in the Foundation an everyday part of being a Celtic supporter for 100% of our community.
On its simplest level, Walfrid’s Wish is a membership scheme. You become a member of the Foundation Champions community. It’ll cost you £3 per month.
I suspect we’re 40% of the way along the road of where we could be as a community, much of that progress has been achieved within the last five years, but we need innovative ways to spread the message. This has an excellent chance of reinvigorating the sentiment that those who gathered in St Mary’s church hall all those years ago.
You can sign up here, go for it.

Big question is…. Is it compulsory to wander roon those market stalls full of sh!t? Has anyone ever found something of value at one? Or is it just one the things you have to put with before the bar opens?

Good Morning Bhoys from a damp Central Scotland, Well Warburton continues to moan and speak his double speak I think he s feeling the pressure and I hope Celtic to add to it on Saturday. I dont think it will be easy but who ever scores first may well turn out to be the winners so come on you Bhoys in Green Glasgows green and white. H.H.
was having a problem getting on but seems to have rectified itself

Not sure about some of his valuations
but happily take his predicted 0-3 to the Celtic

Watched the Lisbon 50th anniversary dvd last night. It’s all been said before I know, but some thoughts.
The contributions of Hughes Gallagher McBride and O’Neil should never be overlooked.
We rode our luck against Vojvodina.
Them and Dukla were excellent teams who were very capable of beating Inter too.
The astonishing levels of fitness shown in 85 degree heat in Lisbon.
The amount of Celtic fans in kilts.
The length of that tunnel, which I’ll be walking up in May (I hear it’s still there)
It’s often said that we should have won the big cup three times. It’s true we were a top four or five European side from 67-72, but I’m satisfied we got our name on it once. Many teams didn’t when in their best era, in particular, Leeds, Arsenal, Spurs, Roma, Athletico Madrid for now, Sporting Lisbon, Dynamo Kiev..

Tubthumping from Warburton, “most successful team in the world” garbage. Surprised he didn’t finish it of with a rendition of the Billy Boys or we are the people. Lowest common denominator as always with them.
Keepthehighbawslow:
A big Hoopy 50th Birthday to you.
The Exiled Tim:
Hoopy Birthday to you as well mate, have a great day.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

“It’s not just been one opportunity either but Celtic is my life. It’s more than a job, it’s a passion.
“I’ve supported Celtic all my life. I’d like to think when I do eventually go I can look back and say: ‘I did this, that and the next thing’.
“You’ve got social media and the bloggers, posters and trolls who think they know what’s going on at the club. They don’t.
That’s twice now I’ve heard Brendan mentioning persistence and resilience in interviews, a wee heads up to res12 guys or just a coincidence.

Here is a quote of mine.
‘The PLC…not a Celtic supporter among them…..Tories and Masons more like’
And how about this one.
‘The PLC have ignored the wishes of the supporters to challenge the hun cheating…but unfortunately, they decided to look the other way’
BTW….Santa Claus isnae real:)

PL told this to The Sun and The Mail last year in May.

Or better still….get somebody else to blow it for you.
