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.

If anyone can work out the point of this post please let me know.
The point Robert was to give me a wee chuckle on an otherwise dull day.
Thank you
Michael McMahon Labour MSP was magnificent today in the “Need to get more Celtic Fans Bill” debate. Listing our Irish heritage as a club from Michael McDevitt to comparing 1916 to Wallace/Bruce. His finishing line was in the words of my clubs song “Let the people sing”

In Germany, the Jews were blamed for their countries ills… and scapegoated.
In Scotland, the Catholics (Timmy) are being blamed for their ills….and will be scapegoated.
Sometimes it takes being removed from the scene to see what is really happening.

Will do!
Leaving to get the wee one now!
Hope to see you later!
C’mon the Hoops!
TET,
The content is shocking!
If someone printed those minutes with a straight face and others read through them and nodded in agreement then they truly are an odious bunch of scumbags.

No mate, can’t. My eldest lad has some academic excellence award thing going on tonight and I must then rush him into town for his first proper gig.

The Exiled Tim posted the above cut and paste from the Vanguard Bears.
Picking my chin off the floor after reading it. Their case of bias against their club from the BBC is based on a single tweet, a single news report, a single non-sectarian but derogatory word used to describe a Rangers supporter, and a single TV programme that focused not on their club but their owner’s previous business dealings! Last time I checked we had enough material for two books, not a smallish paragraph!
Jeezo Sammi debate and Poppy debate on the one page!…

I heard he played very well for the Northern Ireland team in a qualifier. Was the midfield general as they say spreading the ball about really well.
Kayal33 thanks for the info

Paul 67…”Celtic have reserved some of their most organised performances of the season for the Europa League, despite the lack of a victory.”
Discuss..
Answer…a]opposition does not try and kick us off the park!
b]No scottish refs!
It sums up the backward, dysfunctional nature of that club, that these dangerous bigots are granted direct access to the club chairman. James Forrest(CQN’s version) wrote a magnificent article about this mob during the Tony Mowbray season I think. You can’t reason with minds as poisoned as theirs.

Welcome back. You and others, have been sadly missed in this parish.
The worrying thing about the Vb and their ilk, the next few generations of their offspring will be as rabid if not worse then their elders.

No need for a sammy needs a haircut or mccourt better than messi debate.
Play the best 11.
In other news, It wouldnt reach the heights of the CQN book club but Paul Williams Badfella’s is going down a treat.
HH
2 – 1 tonight, Zhi Double and MOTM
For tonights game I would rest Hooper he hasnt been like the Hooper we signed last season bring in Sammi he will work his socks off and is due a goal or two. I would also rest Ki as he is another for me who hasnt been at his best this season also big Lurch could make way for Zaluska freshen up the team a bit and go at Rennes right from the start lets see what there madw of. H.H.
Off to the game, section 111 tonight, might need pain killing injections tomorrow.
Glasgow is green and white!
Mon the Hoops
Bryce Curdy
I echo what my esteemed friend Thomthethim said. Great to see you back.
If Sammi plays tonight he will be ok, at least we can judge him without cheating referees destroying his game.
