Ronny Deila introduced an interesting edge following yesterday’s preseason friendly against Rapid Vienna, saying his players’ “body language wasn’t good. I can accept not playing well but the most important thing has to be the attitude and that was lacking”.
Noting a “lack of energy and that players “looked tired” is par for the course at this time of year but adding “we need to do something with their attitude” gives you an indication of what is expected of the players this season.
Celtic players have for a while now been criticised, fairly or otherwise, for languid body language. Caught between Premiership games against teams they are vastly better than, and Champions League games they need to raise performances for, coaches would need to work hard to raise the heartbeat for domestic football. I suspect its’ this Ronny was targeting, instead of a preseason warm-up.
Does anyone know how to stretch hamstrings prior to kicking the ball? It’s incredible that professional footballers, and Celtic players in particular, are so commonly afflicted by this injury. All it takes is one incomplete warm-up routine and a player is out of action for weeks.
Bids for the European Cup canvass, signed by Billy McNeill, close shortly after noon today. Keep an eye on the action here. You can buy a raffle ticket for the second canvass for as little as £1 here.

Di stefano RIP
Di Stefano the legend RIP
Scotland banning oo walks – more chance of platting fog
neganon2,
Agree with you 100%. They make me sick to my stomach. The SNP obviously either share the oo’s raison d’etre or deem them too powerful to tackle. Whatever, they are more than complicit in Scotland’s Shame. Mind you, Glasgow Council (or whatever they call themselves these days) have never exactly covered themselves in glory in addressing that sectarian organisation.
Memories of Alfredo Di Stefano

Provan didn’t say that to Dave McKinnon.
He said it to wee Alex MacDonald.

M/Express- Bruges is fantastic; not a place to be if you’re hungry AND skint.
Also not a place to be if you’re allergic to chocolate.
What is also worth a visit is Ypres, just a short train ride away.

Regarding spectacular OGs:
I vaguely recall through a booze-induced haze Denis Connaghan throwing the ball into his own net. In the early 70s at that horrible hell-hole Broomfield I think.
Lennybhoy – Cheers, my laptop was acting up so I’ve been away from my CQN fix.

Doing well mate, catch you soon hopefully.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
GreeninBingley- if Dennis Connachan was that drunk he should never have been selected ;/)
RIP, Alfredo.
You could have been a Celtic player, but, at least, you showed us how good you were at Celtic Park that night.

Big Stein reckoned Alfredo was the best player ever.
Kojo. Another good post from your good self the right attitude is paramount to be a winner at anything and the team is only as strong as its weakest link so you must always look at strengthening the weakest link. The manager who should be the most ambitious person in the group dynamic and must never settle for less than the very best from his group or his ambition will fail to blossom.I think in these early days Rony is showing all the correct signs that he knows what he wants and he knows how to get it and that augers well for Celtic and us the supporters. H.H.
M/express- you may end up sitting in the very pretty main square paying a bit extra, but there is no shortage of places to eat.
Because it is one of the most picturesque cities in Flanders it’s a bit of a tourist trap so prices tend to reflect that.
M/Express-if Mrs M/Exp insists on having hot chocolate in the square you can insist on going to De Halve Maan brewery for lunch.
Brattbakk
Sounds like a plan. Beer and chocolate are high on my list.
sheik yerbouti- i don’t think any guys will be in unless we qualify for the CL,a flawed policy IMO,leaving a 4 week transfer window where teams put the price up as they know your predicament,and you end up panic buying the likes of Pukki.Probably the main reason we have a new manager.HH
Bada Bing I still have high hopes for Pukki I think he will come good this season but Derk and Amido to me just dont have it and we should move them on.H.H..
The manager has to run the rule over the players to see where he believes needs strengthening first. We can’t start beating him up over not buying anyone at this early stage, or John Collins should tell him to buy all of Dundee Utd’s youngsters as people on here seem to think they’re better than what we have…
RIP Di Stefano.
True legend.
joe filippis haircut- i think they might be makeweights in other transfers (if we ever make any).Kayal and McGeouch too,the squad is too big IMO .HH
God bless Alfredo di Stefano, one of the true greats.
May he rest in peace.
Gone to meet his striking partner Ferenc Puskas in fitba heaven.
HH!!
west end of east end- it’s a possibility that a change in our style of play,might suit some of the guys that i and others have written off.HH

Alfredo de Stefano r.i.p I echo those sentiments .I never seen him ex on film.ahead o his time.capped for 3 countries might be wrong? :-)

Reports we offered a trial to the Iraqi midfielder Humam Tariq. Does anyone know if we have any trialists with us on tour.

I don’t usually bet on horses but my mate phoned earlier about a horse with sarah in the name said it was in with a shout, stuck a tenner on it as it’s my daughters name and got back 33 quid back. :)
He’s just off the phone again, said he got a tip for 6.40 at Ripon…Gleneely girl 5/2, I’ve stuck a tenner on that aswel, here’s hoping…
