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.

I knew there was something very strange about Patrick Harvey and now I have the answer.
He’s a bloody Linux user.

Looks an exciting team. But it’s 4 2 4
You are basically giving the midfield to Aberdeen who will play 4 5 1
They would dominate the midfield
feck, sorry.
prestonpans bhoys…..
I’m heading up to Stonehaven this afternoon for the weekend.
We’ve got family there and they all support the Dons.
I’ll be in the middle of them in a pub tomorrow watching the game.
So, we had better bl88dy win!
Appols. If already posted.
AHMAD had claimed he was owed £500,000 in unpaid bonuses from Rangers. The case will be formally taken out of court in the next few days.

Willie VassRangers’ director Imran Ahmad
RANGERS have agreed an out-of-court settlement with former commercial director Imran Ahmad, who was suing the club for breach of contract.
Ahmad last week won the right to arrest £620,000 from the club’s bank account pending the court case in light of their ongoing financial difficulties.
Rangers were given leave to appeal that Court of Session decision with their case due to be heard in two months, but they announced an imminent end to the case in a statement to the London Stock Exchange on Friday morning.
Ahmad had claimed he was owed £500,000 in unpaid bonuses from Rangers.
The statement read: “Rangers have agreed formal terms of settlement with former commercial director Imran Ahmad regarding his current court action.
VIEW GALLERY
“The sum agreed is significantly less than the total amount which Mr Ahmad had been granted permission to arrest.
“As part of the settlement terms Mr Ahmad has agreed to refrain from arresting funds in Rangers’ bank account or in the hands of others pending the formal removal of the case from court.
“No such arrestment will now take place.
“The case will be formally taken out of court in the next few days.”
Do you want to see big changes at Rangers?
YES
NO
Ahmad was Charles Green’s main partner when his consortium took control of Ibrox in an assets purchase of the liquidation-hit Rangers in June 2012.
He left his role in April 2013, while Green had quit as chief executive the previous week following claims over links with former Rangers owner Craig Whyte.
The news of the settlement came hours below the deadline for applications for the latest Rangers share issue, from which the club hope to raise almost £4million.
When the issue was launched two weeks ago, the board issued warnings about their ability to meet financial obligations if the fundraising exercise fails.

Old news mate, but no need to apologise!
Feck it, the link creator is over. :((
I remember Kojo saying something about Communists and the SNP.
The way politics are used to confuse people, especially now. Well well.
That wee dude on the far right, facing the audience could not have done any more harm to the Left wing, not the right, if he tried.

Re Ashley
Did he not suggest that investing in football (noocassel) was in business terms an error.

I think we need to pack the midfield tomorrow to match up against Aberdeen, this is where Ronny needs to start listening to people around him on how the opposition will play. John Collins should know this, hopefully Ronny listens and learns that in some games we will need to dig in against some teams.
Oh and Oscar Pistorius has just gotten away with murder.

Funny how we see things differently. I thought Galloway was great and I thought the fella accusing him of rape apologist was a disgrace from early doors. The two women just kept shouting at each other. Thought the kids in the audience was the real stars – a great showcase for Scottish talent.
As you can tell I know nothing about it and loathe to interfere as I’m an outsider and wish a fine country with fine people all the very best in whatever it decides.
Anyway, glad the football is back…

What’s that got to do with Celtic? Want to stick to the subject? :-)
SydneyTim @1152
Aye. Much like the Ross County semi at hampden.
Then forwards don’t defend properly. That Harvie character has to be, by a considerable distance, the most repulsive individual in Scottish public life.Midfield gets overrun. Then izzy/ efe/o’dea gets made scapegoat.
I think Broony will feature tomorrow, perhaps the last half our if we are winning well…….
Wtf!!!???

Subliminal messages now is it? The tone of this indyref just took a downward turn…

Play Mubarak wide left and tell Izzy to stay put at the back.
That might work.
NatKnow – What’s that got to do with Celtic? Want to stick to the subject? :-)
He’s been bailed, you never know he might have a vote in the referendum :-)
WE of EE
Can he play left back?
Where will the majority of these marchers be coming from tomorrow? I need to tow my caravan to a nice beach but can’t decide between East Lothian and Fife…

Aye – him and Dave King! :-)
Broonie is ideal for the way Ronny wants his team to play.
I hope that Broonie realises that the Man that had the most Faith in him has left Celtic and he can get even better now. Celtic are Evolving. ;))
I really hope he is out there the morra.
This guy has the potential to transform this team quicker than any other, whodathunkit, huh?
Natknow,
Nah it was a c&p cock up from earlier.
Fife. Always fife ;)

If Mubarak can cover back too, interchanging with Lizzie where necessary, we could have a pairing like Jackie Mac and Sid Donnelly – that would be good!

Cheers for the travel advice though dude..! :-)

All our fife huns will be in embra so you’ll have the rule of the roost.
Hopefully many will be licking their wounds from tonight. ;)

Did he really say, “If it wasn’t for your British forefathers we’d be having this debate in German”?

It tickles my admittedly twisted humour to think that GG could just as accurately have said……
“If it wasn’t for your British forefathers proscribing our own native tongue we’d be having this debate in GAELIC”?

Genuine question…. does anyone know what the UK Prime minister’s position is on europe ? Does he want out or does he want to stay in when their referendum comes around ? How about the Labour guy whatever his name is and the deputy dawg from the liberals ? What is their position ? Will they all campaign and convince us to STAY in Europe as we would be even better together ?
Cameron’s position on Europe is that he is already planning to avoid a simple In or out referndum in Europe. In this he will have the full support of Miliband and Clegg.

He wants out and wants to create the Uk bill of rights rather than have Human rights act that we currently come under causes all sorts of problems for them currently!
