We’ve seen a few difficult games against Hamilton Accies in recent years, including what proved to be a costly draw after being denied a late winner at New Douglas Park, but we’ve never met them in this form.
Hamilton have the longest unbeaten run in Scotland. They lost their opening league game of the season, at home to Inverness, but have won seven and drawn two of their subsequent nine games. Their 0-4 win away to Motherwell last week was a display of sharp, organised football – and remember, Motherwell took at point at Celtic Park the previous weekend.
Alex Neil will have no intentions of leaving pointless tomorrow. This is the game he and his players will have been waiting for since the fixtures were announced four months ago. Their four SPLF away games: wins at St Mirren, Partick and Motherwell, and a draw at Tannadice, has been preparation for Celtic Park.
If Celtic have a Europa League hangover, Accies will boss them. Forget the lowly status of the club, respect is needed if we are the get the desired result and performance required.
I’m running the Great Scottish Run in aid of Celtic Foundation tomorrow morning, which presents a, erm, personal hygiene challenge for the game. It’ll be a full can of deodorant day. If you have a £1 or two for the fundraising, you can help here.

Three Absolute legends..
Alan Henning ( go mbeannaigh Dia troicaire ara anam )
So does anyone know the name of ONE Palestinian man ,woman ,or child who was killed in the last couple of months?
The sad thing is I’ll bet Alan Henning knew
ryecatcher
I was there too and it still rankles, mcdonalds one was even worse, he got both hands on the ball. If we think we’ve got it bad now with refs just think back. Remember the 1-3 at home to Aberdeen ? Danny sent off for first time and another shocking performance from mib, Waddell that time, Rougvie halved Nicholas in box and nothing doing. Then there was Davidson in 1970. This mob just now are amateurs in comparison

Another one of Blair’s mates who has polluted the very ethos of Celtic…..
SIR William Haughey, Labour’s newest Scottish peer, has expressed excitement about his forthcoming role in the House of Lords, but declined to comment on claims the system that allowed big donors such as himself to become peers has polluted politics.
GOING TO THE LORDS: Sir William Haughey.
Custom byline text:
MICHAEL SETTLE UK POLITICAL EDITOR
The 57-year-old Glaswegian entrepreneur and philanthropist described himself as “modern Labour” and stressed there were matters such as youth unemployment that he wanted to raise on entering the Lords in the autumn.
Sir William, who has given £1.3 million to Labour since 2003, mainly to promote the policy of academy schools under the Blair government, explained his nomination for a peerage was not something for which he had been pushing, but came as a surprise.
He said: “I was just contacted by Ed Miliband’s office, who wondered whether I would be willing to be put forward. I said I would be honoured; it was as simple as that. Obviously, I’m very humbled by it and am looking forward to it with excitement.”
Asked to comment about the claim by Liberal Democrat peer Lord Oakeshott, who said: “Cash for peerages pollutes Parliament and political parties who collude in this,” Sir William declined to be drawn, saying only: “I have no comment to make on that at all.”
Yesterday, Lord Oakeshott called on Nick Clegg to “take a lead, call in the other two parties, talk to them about it and shame people”. A source close to the Deputy Prime Minister said Lord Oakeshott was right to say the way political parties were funded needed top-to-bottom reform and that no-one had tried harder to accomplish this than the LibDems in government, but stressed “as so often happened before, the vested interests in both the Labour and Conservative parties have scuppered reform”.
Sir William, whose personal fortune is estimated at £150m, chairs City Refrigeration Holdings, which employs 11,000 people around the world.
Last year, the former director of Celtic Football Club was knighted for his service to business and philanthropy. In 2010, he created the City Charitable Trust, which has given £5m to charity. Much of the money has gone to Glasgow-based causes.
The entrepreneur made it clear getting young people back to work would be a priority in his new role.
“I have been campaigning for a number of years on youth unemployment and for more and more apprenticeships,” he said. “That’s what I want to get involved in. Youth unemployment will be at the top of my agenda.”
Asked about his views on Scottish independence, he stressed that thus far he had kept out of the debate, but would consult with friends before making any definitive statements.
The businessman, on holiday in Majorca, indicated there would be a number of matters on which he would be willing to comment in the next few months, but would do so only after due consideration and talking to colleagues.
He said he had squared his ennoblement with his wife Susan. She had made it clear she would be happy with whichever decision he made.
Asked if he might choose the title of Lord Haughey of Parkhead, he pointed out that Ian Livingston, the outgoing BT chief whom David Cameron recently appointed a trade minister, had already adopted the Parkhead distinction as he was a director of Celtic.
The club’s interests in the Lords look set to be well catered for, as also on the red benches is Lord Reid of Cardowan, who, until 2011, was Celtic’s chairman.

Freedom walk.
Ryecatcher – They are tough enough, the Strand.
You know that sure.
There’s one thing about Irish people, that you might not understand though…
Parochialism, tribalism, whatever…
They will go to town against one another, at the drop of a hat.
The Strand is magnificent, East Belfast top Bhoys, all day long.
But here, the Westies saved them way back… The bold Billy McKee and Charlie Hughes the brave.
Sorry MCB, can’t help agitating yous County Down people.
:D
There’s only one county in Ireland.
God bless the Saffrons.
