Before the second leg against Maribor I went into detail about how important it was for Ronny Deila to rest his players. He did, we lost to Inverness and players spent the bulk the Maribor game looking like strangers.
Since then players’ propensity to look strangers has increased, with the arrival of Stefan Scepovic, John Guidetti and Wakaso Mubarak, not to mention the anticipated return of Aleks Tonev. Ronny has some serious decisions to make.
Does he flood the team with all this new blood, or allow them time to build match fitness and familiarity? New blood is badly needed but so is team cohesion.
Any decision for Aberdeen will be made with the visit to Salzburg one week today in mind. On paper, away to the top seed is our most difficult Europa League game, so we have to be ready.
My expectation is that three, if not all four, of the above will feature heavily on Saturday, which will inform Ronny ahead of his choices for Europe.
Fancy some comfy seats at the Aberdeen game and helping Mary’s Meals as well? The Club’s main sponsor Magners have again offered us two premium seat tickets for the Jock Stein Stand, which you can win by answering the following question:
Who do Celtic play in the lunchtime kick off on Saturday, 13 September 2014?
Optionally….. if you have £1 available, please donate £1 to Mary’s Meals at this MyDonate page, which sends your £1 straight to Mary’s Meals, then send me your confirmation email, with your contact details to celticquicknews@gmail.com Competition closes noon on Friday, so get your entries in now and watch your inbox on Friday afternoon.
You can donate more than £1, if you like, but £1 from as many people as possible will be gratefully received, as, like many organisations working in Africa right now, they are encountering a wave of additional ebola-related challenges.
Thanks for helping.

Different experiences generationally I think. I would never belittle or doubt the experiences some of you guys had trying to get ahead but they’re not reflective of mine.
I’m not religious but I’ve never hidden that I’m a Celtic fan, and apart from 3 and half years in London, I’ve worked in West Central Scotland since the mid 90s. I’ve never really seen football/religious discrimination in various jobs I’ve had and since I moved into IT c2006 every place I’ve worked has had more of us than them.
The future’s bright.
A bit of Billy Bragg:

ipaddy, looks like you’ve made your mind up for the right reasons and not for short term gain.
300 years from now Scottish people will access the posts of folk like Ernie and Neg2 on Celtic Ultra Quick News and pish themselves laughing at their fear of change.
Then they will thank us for doing the right thing when we had our chance.
weeminger,
I think you have helped others in the past (me as well) about linking youtube etc.
The Computer is now back up and running but I don’t have the lines that let me insert the websites. Hehe, you might not wanna let me know.

Scotland only became thrawn to the OO and the Masons in the late 18th/early 19th century.
There was almost untramelled and open bigotry against Irish Catholics up until the 1960s. Since then, the situation has changed. Companies, including yours, cannot afford to cut themselves off from 20% of the talent pool anywhere in the world, far less an educated and culturally rich talent pool as we have in Scotland. The days when uneducated Scottish protestants get jobs in front of higher qualified catholics/asians/poles etc are gone for ever.
That’s why I’m not feart. Neither should you be.

Pity the Dumbarton Harp do got called off tonight. Are you going to the match tomorrow?
Jungle Jim, as much as I love the auld fella, well, he’s a cat murderer.
Think about that JJ while your broken ribs are fixing,
Now what about that game of golf at Arbroath before the sun sets too low?
ACEILERGONOFRUST
A bit harsh on JJ,I reckon.
At worst,he assisted it in its suicide.
Pete, Uganda csc mibby wisnay the best choice. Ask mrs Amin how she felt about having her head removed from her body. Which one you ask?
peacefulcsc ma friend.
ACEILERGONOFRUST
Amin was fond of keeping severed heads in his fridge.
Me,I like a bit of potted head in my fridge,but you don’t see much of it around these days.
Maybe Amin cornered the market.
BobM, according to JJ the cat miraculously survived. I pit it to you that cats have nine lives and JJ’s attempt to kill a cat removed one of those nine lives leaving that cat somewhat disadvantaged.
Taking a life is murder ergo, JJ is a cat killer and a MURDERER.
What needs is and Edinburgh court with a happy South African judge.
BobM, they used to sell that muck at the tea hut at the 10th on the Man’s course at Carnoustie. It didn’t go down well with International visitor. They thought it looked like shite on a roll, and they were right.
Thankfully, the tea hut is under new management and stuff like that is under the counter.
FFS, you’ll be talking about Dundee’s contribution to world cuisine next, the mince roll.
Whits wrang wi foie gras I ask?
ACEILERGONOFRUST
It’s a myth that a cat has nine lives.
Wouldn’t be much point throwing a bag of kittens into the river otherwise.

Nope, Skint like, Flint Skint, at this precise moment, the bizarre thing is, I’m likely to have more disposable money than I’ve ever had in the next couple of months.
Ma Fault, I should have, aww shucks.

I’m Jammin or Drammin whilst Reswearcrien Uga.
That Whiskey certainly made me feel different that Polo Nihgt.
FFS,even I would draw the line at a mince roll.
Though I remember being served cabbage rolls when I was in Canada.
Thankfully they weren’t what I had envisaged,but instead was some mince baked inside a rolled-up cabbage leaf!
And you wanna have seen my face when someone suggested putting sour cream on a smashing big baked tattie.
Mind,it was about 35 years ago. Back then Spaggy Bollocknaked was quite cosmopolitan….
Petec
Thank you.
Aaahhh Radiohead. :)

Thank you.
Aaarrrrrghhh Radiohead. :)
There,fixed that for you!
Bob, many years ago when I lived in Montrose I took my older bruv out on a good salmon beat on the South Esk. We heard a noise, a cat / kitten noise, very faint but a detectable noise and a definite sign of life. We tracked it down to a big flat rock. We lifted the rock and in a hole under the rock was a kitten about three weeks old. All fluffy and cute.
After a few hard hours fishing my bruv told me the kitten didn’t fill him up enough and he needed a pub dinner.

You should have taken your young bro,mate.
He likes a curry,and a cat would be just the job. Tastes just like rabbit.
Speaking of which,I killed one earlier on the way back from Oxford. Poor wee thing had obviously been clipped by a vehicle which had only run over its back legs. It was piteously trying to drag itself back to the grassy verge.
Easy target,even I couldnae miss that one.
BobM, we took that wee kitten to the vet beside Roo’s leap in Montrose. Just in case any of the kids we always hear about reading the blog are looking in.
It had a smashing time after that. I think it was a Cheshire cat.
BMCUW
Philistine.
Thom Yorke speaks for me. ;))
Radiohead are certainly an acquired taste.
Redrum, Redrum………………..Bob, you even smell like Jack Nicholson. I like it. Deff unto all rabbits.
Any napalm, the wee bassa’s are tearing up mrs acgr’s floooooors.
I’m getting a wee bit sick of being a sniper.
ACGR love chariot time for me, then one more day till we see if we have a team capable of meeting our needs, desires and expectations.
Hail Hail and goodnight Celtic men and wummin
It is very annoying when, without ever pledging allegiance to anyone, you are ignored about things, that you feel are very personal to one self.
I hope weeminger has had a nice sleep and becomes less Judgemental on the 19th.
I’m a Brutal Sinner, always huv been.

Just checked out the Guidetti interview on Celtic TV.
Let’s hope this guy shines.
A hat trick against Aberdeen would be an ideal start.

I have never read a more biased and disingenuous article. Never. Odone is a falsifier of facts. The fact is that the RCs play the victim card in Scotland but it is mostly they who stir up trouble where there is very little. This has succeeded in the absurd “Scotland’s Shame” slogan, and the ridiculous so called anti-sectarian legislation of the Scottish Parliament. Odone fails to mention the Celtic supporters’ Green Brigade who shamelessly chant their vile IRA songs. Oh, and the Orange Parades are balanced by the Hibernian Walks where, again, the IRA are glorified.
