If Celtic overcome Armenian champions Alashkert in the Champions League first qualifying round, they will face either Icelanders, Valur, or our old pals, Rosenborg, from Norway. The Norwegians and Celtic will be overwhelming favourites to progress from the opening round.
Rosenborg gave Celtic a fright a year ago when they took a 0-0 draw from Celtic Park in the Champions League third qualification round. A James Forrest goal settled the return in Celtic’s favour.
Rosenborg went on to eliminate Ajax from the Europa League, winning home and away, before finishing third in their Europa League group behind Zenit St Petersburg and Real Sociedad. Norwegian teams play through the summer, so Rosenborg have played 27 games since their winter recess. This will be a stiff test for Celtic, should the first round go to form.

I couldnae resist it. It seems you’re have a glass half empty day!

Polska are pretty dire! Sorry DD, but they are!
KTF
If they were playing anybody else I’d be supporting Senegal here, but I love Poland.
I just wish they’d turned up tonight.
Also watching on mute with music on because of that despicable, ludicrous gargoyle McCoist.
Watching Poland v Senegal to a soundtrack of The Fall is a strange experience, but better than listening to the garden gnome reading from a list of cliches that were cliches 30 years ago.
Aha!
Polska pull one back…
…probably too late tho’.
HH!!
The referee all over the place here
So Celtic begin an eight game odyssey or this year you could call it a mini marathon to make the group stage fo the Champions League and to hopefully grab a few million quid in the process. One wonders what additional difficulties the crowd that run European football will conjur up for next season for Champion teams from the smaller leagues.
I have to say that the draw for Celtic in Europe was of greater interest to me than the World Cup now in showtime. It is not an easy draw to begin with and going to Asia to play in torrid mid-summer heat will not be easy – remember Gibraltar. Hopefully it will be a nightime fixture. The Armenian football season begins in August which is a plus. None of these teams can be taken for granted. We can see how the so-called lesser sides are getting results against the established teams in the World Cup.
Then it more than like;ly it will be Rosenborg and we saw how tight that was last season and God only knows who we get at the next hurdle as they say it’s all to play for.
Coupons going down left right and centre at this tournament. Some really surprising results.

Coisty does what he does, says what he says, coz he knows that the West ae Scoatlind civil unrest factor will be his protection. Ever since, Coisty, Durranty and “Kevin” McMinn, gave a Celtic supporter the kicking of his life, outside the Salmon Leap pub in East Kilbride.
*Heard about that out here although I was led tae believe that flecky was with them and not kevin barry mcminn.
chapeau!!! Senegal
Trapped in the beach bar by a biblical downpour.Bangladeshis watching England smash the ODI record while the rest of us watched an Entertaining game of football which featured 6 Serie A players.2 of whom scored.
The hard Life -way down south

Unless there were two incidents
Your summary in EK is nonsense
Nobody was left for dead
It was nowhere near Salmon Leap
Worst hurt was actually a Rangers fan
One of Bhoys involved dad reads this site
So don’t print un truths
JC2…

Empty the blog…..its the only way.
..but dont ask me to do it first :)
Bateen Bhoy, many thanks for the info re Dubai, I’ll certainly check it out. Hope you both are well. HH
Last rites for CQN?
A sad day. But kinda feels that way.

Last rites for CQN?
It’s close-season syndrome. Lack of Celtic action means resorting to inferior World Cup fare.
Or maybe they are all watching Emmerdale-))

I hate the close season

England Will Win The World Cup. You heard it here first…

My friends in Celtic.
I am unsure what Jamesgang means, however what I am sure of ; it’s not the last rites of CQN.
The lack of posts is a concern, however there are actions we can take to alleviate this.
Stop treating CQN like a messenger service.
Respect all posts and posters.
Respect difference of opinion
Ensure all posts are treated equally.
Evaluate the post, not the poster
Stop disrespecting posters.
Ensure all posts are considered equally, and there is no hierarchy of posters.
Open up , and stop the cliqish overtones.
Bhoys / Ghirls, we must encourage new and lurking posters to post There is no criteria of ” who you know: or my litinary
jamesgang on 19th June 2018 7:51 pm
too many good bhoys and ghirls , hope your wrong

DENA29 on 19TH JUNE 2018 8:38 PM
I didn’t think the second one was a penalty.
david17 on 19th June 2018 8:42 pm
I wasn’t sure at first the replay convinced me it was , thought it merited a check.
Russia have been the better team

Absolutely, respect alternative views as long as they don’t conflict with the blogs statuary rules.
Do we want a very small like minded clique on CQN, or as is my preference, we open it up to the greater support.
