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.

I’m not sure re Murphy. Galloway in his pomp would have been great, last night was a wee bit painful to watch
I think it’s one of a series of errors from the BT campaign, I don’t think they have managed their message delivery as effectively as they could and have dropped the ball on a few occasions.
‘Please miss I huvnae goat a seat’
‘There’s empty seats over there’
‘Ah cannae sit over there, they’re fur no voters, A’hm a yes voter’
‘Well they’re the only empty seats here, can you not just sit there and say you’re a no vote?’
‘Piss aff. Ah’m telling ma maw aboot yoo.’
Good luck to Sanna’s Gowfers the day…………………a nice walk spoiled…… but all for a good cause!
HH.
Ernie –
You got that bag of sweeties filled up?

Work time.
The curse of the debating man.
Sevco settled out of court. Herald 20 mins ago.
That Godwin knew a thing or two.
As soon as Galloway started spouting about the Nazis, the debate was over.
Amazing!

Is that scenario I’ve outlined consistent with the ‘facts’ that you ‘know’ about?

YES PEST activity is already off the radar today, and it’s not even 9 o clock……
The more crap I get linked, text and emailed to me from these guys, the more I’m convinced to vote no.
God help us. 6 days to go. Hopefully it ll stays civilised, but I fear we will get reports of some increasingly serious incidents as we build up to Thursday.

I hope you’re wrong mhate.
It’s not what I expect to happen. A fair amount of grumpiness to say the least but it is the most significant political decision for 3 centuries.
Momentous, with no offer of compromise on the ballot paper.
Lebanon it ain’t. Interesting to look at split of Czechoslovakia for precedent.

Did he really say, “If it wasn’t for your British forefathers we’d be having this debate in German”?
He did didn’t he?
Excuse me Herr Ubergruppenfuhrer but we Scots have decided we would like to leave the Third Reich and demand a referendum.

Pathetic.
Utterly pathetic.
That’s what nationalism does to people.
Sad really.
I’m sure Mr Ahmad has thought the writings on the wall for this mob, need to recover as much as possible before admin..business thoughts by business men..

Yes, we know.
Someone on here predicted this outcome just after the arrestment was granted.

Hoopy do
Pretty sure that if your vote is cast it is legal whether alive or dead at time of counting said votes. That is one of the failures of the postal voting system.
Not too sure a big greed ginger cat can vote though.
MWD says AYE
——————————
So the countrys fate is being decided by votes from dead people (and cats allegedly)
They dont even pay taxes anymore, scandabolical
And its very strange that said cat died shortly after telling david cameron that he had voted ‘YES’
hmmm

Mark Pugach on TalkSport last night described the Oscar Pistoffius trial as courtroom drama at its very best
i think he forgot this was a real life scenario brought about by the death of an innocent person, and not some work of tv fiction
Not very clever by a professional national broadcaster
Ernie
I’m still not a nationalist.
Is Nigel Farage? Boris? Dave? Gideon?
The are many ‘nationalists’ on the Unionist side.
Impossible to quantify exact numbers & %s but a folly for either side to seek to tar the other in this way.
I wouldn’t do it to my No voting parents. You shouldn’t do it to Yes voters with such broad indiscriminate strokes?
Where’s you stiletto Mhan?!?
(I am of course referring to your occasionally hilarious rapier wit. I know nothing of your footwear preferences! Thing de smiley)

Any update on the BBC scandal?
Surely the nats aren’t going to just let this lie?
There must be a full expose of exactly what happened.

You’re wishing to divide people by creating national divisions where none exist. That makes you a nationalist.
Ernie –
It’s trivial in the grand scheme of dirty tricks.
It’s just a smokescreen for you.
Sorry it kept you awake all night. It wasn’t my intention.
Ernie said:
You’re wishing to divide people by creating national divisions where none exist. That makes you a nationalist.
So by your definition, you are a unionist.
Took you long enough, but well done.
Ernie
You are of course correct , otherwise known as manslaughter .
‘Harvard prof Niall Ferguson: Salmond reminds me of David Murray at Rangers…
“I see Alex Salmond’s economic plans as rather reminiscent of the plans that David Murray had for Rangers when he was at that great club”.
He added that he mentioned Rangers because “I would have thought Glaswegians would have learnt something from those who have bold visions of the future but cannot make the books balance.
“And that would be Scotland”…………………….’

Actually Ernie,
I’m seeking to transfer political power closer to those it impacts most upon in a small, manageable and coherent nation state. While at the same time seeking to foster excellent relations with states neighbouring and afar.
And in the process dehitching myself from HMS Perfidious Albion on its ukip inspired journey to ‘splendid isolation’.
I think that makes me an INTERnationalist.
C’mon. Join the global village. It’s the future. The only one.
Or alternatively sit in the golf club with Gideon and awful Farage chap reading the Telegraph and harrumphing about those foreign types!!!
HH jamesgang
I hear Farage is in Scotland for the topical debate, wonder if an overnight in Glasgow to join the “big walk” ahem tomorrow?
So Charlie Mulgrew needs a knee operation? Did he do the damage kicking the ball away in Germany or was he carrying an injury into the game?

Forgive me, I was merely asserting my Scottish cultural heritage.
When does he get sentenced?
Correct me if im wrong but I thought the neanderthals were marching in Edinburgh tomorrow to support the NO campaign , I really hope I am right as I intend being in town early to enjoy my day out going to see my team .

I am in favour of political union between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
You are in favour of a currency union between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
We are both unionists.
The difference is your unionism is half baked and incoherent. ‘Nonsense on stilts’ I think Jim Sillars called it.

The orange march is indeed in Edinburgh tomorrow.
A wee daft question that we all know the answer to and that I will probably repeat later today.
Tomorrow, Edinburgh host the biggest assembly of NO Voters of the whole campaign.
However, neither James Francis or any other member of Better Together will be on hand to personally thank THEM for THEIR loyalty and unswervng support throughout the campaign.
Now I wonder why.
Ernie
Not sure , there are now arguments from both sides as regards the sentence , the S.African lawyer on Sky has been on the money so far and reckons on a suspended sentence .

Get it right Tom.
It is not an Orange March.
It is a gathering og Orangemen and others of THEIR ilk supporting Better Together.
