Tom Rogic is good. Very good. He has scored cup winning goals, league winning goals, scored against Newco at three different venues, and most deliciously, has scored Champions League qualification goals. That old football adage, “Yes, but can he do it when it really matters?”, is never asked about Tom.
With one year left on his existing Celtic contract, he is off with Australia to the World Cup, the most prominent shop window in the game, where good players with a one-year balance on their contracts are a premium.
The news that he signed a five-year contract yesterday has surprised many, including me. One week ago today, when I asked a ‘senior source at Celtic’ the prospects or retaining his services, I was not encouraged. “The money on offer in England……..”
This deal is an endorsement of the direction the club is heading from within the dressing room. Players know where the club is going, Tom knows. That’s why he has signed. I am sure his contract reflects his ability, but I am also sure he could have earned more elsewhere. And five years!! That’s nearly a Jim McLean!
Good luck tomorrow, Tom, let’s have a repeat of last season’s Cup Final.

Roy, I looked forward more to our games against Aberdeen between 1981 to 1986 than our matches against the now defunct club.
They had Miller reffing the game , Rougvie Simpson , Cooper and Dougie Bell kicking our players plus Hewitt, McGhee and Black going in with elbows and raised arms .
Graeme Sinclair was not a popular figure with some of our support but when Sinky played in midfield against them, Cooper and Simpson in particular , they got back what they dished out.
BMCUWP-we Park just before the car wash on London Rd.Its a struggle for my dad awready,we take three or four pit stops on the way up to park as it is.not sure it’s sectarian mate.

Anyway, fitba’. I am looking forward to the game tomorrow and I fully expect a physical game but we should still be too good for them. I expect Kouassi to be on the bench and called on if needed to sort a few out.
Moussa to batter their defence. Brown and Ntcham to dominate the middle. Big Dedryck to turn in a performance that will keep Main quiet. Big Tam Rogic to pull the strings.
Only downside is that my mate will miss the game. He fell from a scaffold yesterday and ended up with a broken elbow, fractured pelvis, 3 cracked vertebrae and 3 cracked ribs. His main concern is missing the game. His son is happy enough as he gets the spare ticket!
4-1 to the good ghuys.

Ok,I’ll grant you it might not be sectarian. Or at least,difficult to prove. But IMO it is deliberately targeted.
to all the animal lovers on here need to get this off my chest if not an animal lover please scroll past this morning i took a little jack russell terrier called jorge 12 months old to be put to sleep because of kidney failure now his owner one of our customers is lying dying in hospital because of a brain tumour now it was her mother that phoned us and told us her predicament now the last thing i want to do is put basically a little pup to sleep or basically to death but it had to be done im still feeling sick watching his last breath.hh.

JAMESGANG-I think Charlie gets Celtic but it doesn’t sit with his day job unfortunately.
——————–
I have to disagree FB, he knows he’s not held in the same esteem as a lot of our past players.
He went back north to the sheep before us and then back to us as the highest earner.
I cringe when i Iisten to his comments on sky… I think. ;)))))

between bellgrove and carntye stations , there was parkhead north station until 1955, a few yards away from the very south tip of duke street as it crosses shettleston road, I think there is a big red builiding there now, if that could be reopened its 5 minutes to the lisbon lions stand.

Parkhead was a railway station in the east end of Glasgow. It was opened as Parkhead, by the North British Railway on 1 February 1871.[1] It was renamed Parkhead North on 30 June 1952 by British Railways.[1] This was to differentiate it from the nearby ex-Caledonian Railway Parkhead station on the former Glasgow Central Railway.
The station was closed to passengers on 19 September 1955.[2][3]

Remember guys. If anyone wakes up in the morning to find some Celtic fairy has left 2 tix for game under their hoopy duvet and are looking for a good home for them I’m your man.

didnt mean to copy in all that sh stuff
I fully understand the issues re anti-social behaviour and poor parking on match days and there is a case to answer there. However I’ve seen the police operation of dispersal at matches deteriorate from a slick operation when lights were turned off etc and points men/women utilised along the length of London Rd. to a who gives an f attitude. Along with the ill-thought out parking restrictions it smacks of trying to annoy and frustrate the Celtic support into non-attendance.
This comes from someone who tried to negotiate with Parkhead Forge management, Council, Police etc in several meetings about a parking scheme for supporters to allow them to use the thousands of parking spaces at the forge during match days. Many of our supporters utilised McDonalds and the shops at the Forge but they didn’t want us in there.
We bring millions to the Glasgow economy but are still treated like criminals.
Time for action Celtic.

When my sisters go to the game on their own-no bevvying blokes,in other words-they used to have a wee girly wander round the Forge,even a coffee and scone or a toastie.
As you do.
Then they’d put the shopping into the car,head to Celtic Park,come back to a ticket.
Having spent more at The Forge than at Celtic Park!

That sounds like a good party! I’m going over to Stirling about midday, my wife and I will be with our two sons + good daughters, four grand kids, two in-laws of one of the good daughters, a brother/wife of one good daughter, two neighbours of my son – Tims to a man (and woman).
Birthday cake for the youngest grand daughter, a roving lunch situation, then TV for those who wish to witness history being made.
Was out last night with a guy who’s nephew works for Celtic in Lennoxtown. Told me first of all that Craig Gordon was already fit, then told me about how focused on this game Brendan had been since the Monday after the Sevco humping, two intervening league games not withstanding. The vibes are good!!
Enjoy your party and I’ll enjoy mine (I hope – no entitlement here!!!)
MIKE IN TORONTO hope you and seamus are well, its just one of the things you have got to do unfortunately, a customer dying of a brain tumour and her little pup dying of kidney failure she could not ask her mother to take it, she has got dementia, she could only turn to us and we certaintly were not going to let her down, traumatic tho and i didnt really know the puppy, but one thing i can say i wont ever forget little jorge.hh.
Roy, you are the talented twin ( smiley thing)
saint stivs – you come across Govan Road on the maps ? My grannie Maria was lived there ! Me and little jackie mac have tried looking for it when we’re up before games but it’s been swallowed up by the Clyde/progress!
