Since a couple of flat performances against Sion in the qualifying round, Celtic have reserved some of their most organised performances of the season for the Europa League, despite the lack of a victory. Honourable defeat in Madrid followed by more-than-credible draws against Udinese and Rennes suggest there is more to this Celtic team that we see in the SPL.
It’s hard to look forward to the second half of the season and the potential for knock out football in the Europa League but if Celtic get their act together, a win tonight could go a long way towards restoring the reputation of the club, and a few players.
How Neil Lennon responds to yet more injury absentees is difficult to imagine. I’m not expecting fluency from a makeshift defence and midfield, although Celtic Flourished in the Glasgow derby in similar circumstances on 2 January this year, but I’m hoping to see Gary Hooper and Anthony Stokes look more like a partnership. We need both players on form and enjoying their work if any progress is to be made.
Busy day ahead but the Hearts situation is possibly worth a discussion this afternoon. The scenario changes by the day at Ibrox but that conversation will need to wait.

Well the only man I got wrong in tonights team is the keeper even had Commons on the bench.The Irish gig wont work if you want to go and whatch Irish football go and watch Shamrock Rovers play in the hoops.Celtic need to become part of a European league thats where we would improve as a team also where the TV money would come from.H.H.
New article posted ….. I’m talking to myself over there lol
I will be interested in how Majstorovic plays tonight. I am not a fan of his but I have wondered if his poor form with us is because he is not used to playing in a team which predominantly attacks. Rennes (favourites with William Hill) will, I presume, be attacking much more than SPL teams do at Celtic Park so that MIGHT bring out the best in Daniel M.

Cryptic message á la French Resistance.
Off to Sharkey’s ( the real one), to watch the game.
Will check e-mails later.
As private Fraser would say “We are Doomed. Doomed”
Murdo is as thick as shoite.
A shortbread hun gimp kept on a short leash by retard gordhun.
He’s an embarrassment,pandering and pathetically incoherent
In his anti Celtic garbage.
Even Chico doesn’t stoop so low.
Very sad but hardly surprising.

the strange fairytale continues, 1:46 into the game Rennes score due to some woeful defending, then Celtic grit the teeth and we start to play, Victor Wanyama – take a bow, and Georgie, then some good play and build up generally and GOALS (Stokes x2)

C’mon the hoops. I feel a bit of paddy magic coming as the game gets stretched in second half.
