Rest precious limbs at Tannadice

608

Tomorrow is match day 5 of a 38 game Scottish Premiership league programme, and although there’s a possibility we may find ourselves five points adrift, the result from Tannadice will have absolutely no bearing on our season.

Celtic must weigh up the needs of squad fitness for the next four days, concluding with the visit to Malmo on Tuesday. We have some precious limbs attached to Virgil, Scott, Stefan (J) and most of all, Sugar Ray Griffiths. I strongly recommend all are rested tomorrow. The consequences of any of these players being injured for Tuesday is not worth contemplating.

It was considerably reassuring that Qarabag, who Celtic eliminated in the last round of the Champions League, won away at Young Boys of Berne last night. Any team winning in Switzerland have earned respect.

It was just as reassuring that Malmo’s last round opponents, Salzburg, went down 2-0 to Dinamo in Minsk. It’s difficult to determine comparative strengths this early in the season, but some people may have overestimated Salzburg and underestimated Qarabag,

We’ll find out on Tuesday.

Well done to all concerned with the Jock Stein Charity Match, which takes place on Sunday, 6 September, at East End Park, Dunfermline, in aid of Celtic Foundation and Pars’ Foundation. Alan Stubbs, who will be wearing the hoops one more time, said, “The thing about Celtic is that it’s a fantastic club, both when you’re there and when you’re not, and that’s a testament to the fans”.

Best of luck for the season, Alan.

British Champion boxer and Celtic fan, Scotty Cardle, is also playing, as is X-Men star, James McAvoy. Details here.

  6. Good evening Celts, I’m not often on cqn now and I’ve come back to find a Celtic site that looks too clean and professional, all the adds are intrusive and off putting. I won’t be using this superb site for those reasons but mibbee it’s just me being older and don’t like the extra hassle?

     

    Anyway I’m here so hello Celts

     

    I’m on whisky that happens about once per yr

     

    The Celtic stuff comes later ✊

    The CQN Legends were awesome tonight Mhate.. a lesson in the art of the tanner ba game (under 35’s, ask yer Da).. skill, footwork, ability to read the game, positional sense, stamina and a level of fitness that would leave many top pros in their wake…

     

    well ok, the footwork wisy bad!!!..

     

    But a great game, great fun and bags o excercise!!! Brilliant!!! Well Done the CQN Legends.

  8. A Celtic makeshift team will play Dundee Utd tomorrow.

     

    Will we win who knows.

     

    All that matters is Tuesday night.

     

    Every confidence in our bhoys. HH
