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.

Hello again all you young rebels.
Finally feel able to get my head together and make a post.
These Celtic Sundays with the young bhoys down the rebel peninsula
are getting harder for my auld bones to recover from.
Maybe sweating like Pavarotti in a cake shop with our young team at
training last night oozed the last dregs of Guinness out my pores, but
never mind i’ll just replace my fluid levels with a wee visit to the fridge.
Reading that young Michael Francis O’Halleron has joined up with
Melbourne City, wonder if he’ll join us down at our CSC for a sing song.
Methinks he’ll get a good talking to for his wayward ways and i know
just the man to do it 8-)))))

CQN dying?
As someone who has been on here just after it started (Martin42) won’t mention that day:-)))
Dying? No.
Dreadful at times FFS Yes…
Aw inspiring at times? Hell Yes…
BUT, FFS It’s the Internet.
Let it flow, you can’t break it and….
You will never break what we have here….
ProbablyLongestPostEverCSC…
So, there :-))))
I’m watching a recording of the title decider against the Zombies. 8 minutes gone and 5 attempts on goal to their 0.
Our dominance is astonishing but that wee bass Cummings should have walked for at terrible tackle on KT in 10. minutes!
FIFA World Cup? No’ fer me. Celtic every time!
KTF
1-0 Celtic; great play by McGregor and Tierney with a wonderful finish bu Edouard. We are so far ahead of them that it will take a miracle for Gerrard to hey them anywhere near close!

Melbourne Mick the wine is just about done; Kris Boyd and Hayley McQueen are big sick. 46 minutes 28 seconds and Ian Crocker saYS “HERE’S ROGIC; I CAN’T BELIEVE HE HASN’T SCORED YET – GIVE HIM TIME.”‘
46 minutes 42 seconds “ROGIC DOES GET IN ON THE ACT.”
4-0 Celtic. Cue craziness at Celtic Park!

The greatest trick the devil ever played was supposedly to fool us into thinking he didn’t exist? Moi? I think it was to persuade so many that there’s never enough to go around and the poor are the cause of poverty.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in America’s forgotten white poor.
Hence trump.
Hence Hitler. Hence putin. Hence farage. Hence Foster.
You west Brit toffs are far jess susceptible to fascism’s siren call! ?
HH good night. KTF.
Bed beckons; further updates tomorrow morning! I think the game is won and we will clinch 7 in a row!

I just popped in to stir the pot.
It’s so long I had trouble remembering my login details.
Close season is a chance for us all to recover from the double treble.
With the absence of real hard news, as opposed to fake news, emanating from Celtic Park there’s little worthy of discussion.
The state of the Gullibillies is always worth a wee titter.
The World Cup isn’t doing anything for me.
What I have seen so far has been disappointing, especially England’s last minute goal.
I was recently thinking about the excitement of the young Pele in Sweden, the first time I was aware of the brilliant Brazilians. Pele, Garrincha, Viva, Zito flickered across the 12 inch black and white screen and inspired us all to run out in the rain and fall over the ball trying to dribble.
(I may have made an error spelling some of the names. Age doesn’t come alone.)
Their reputation was enhanced during the 1970 Mexico finals when we watched in color.
Today we have sterile, defensive football where, granted well coached and disciplined defenses, negate the better skilled creative teams.
I give you Iceland as exhibit 1.
I can see this all season from the SPFL teams trying to smother Celtic, aided and abetted by incompetent, at best, officials.
Where am I going with this? God knows.
I can’t wait to see Celtic in action, but until then it’s back to growing my tomato plants, speculating on the reasons for Bitcoin fluctuations, turning my deaf ear to the wife’s conversations on kitchen improvements and staying out of the blazing sun.
Roll on June 27th.
GG, this is my first World Cup living in the US. The US commentators do talk rubbish. I still can’t get the 6, for 6 yard box etc.
Derek Rae was commentating at the weekend with a particularly annoying American female
BTW I agree about Iceland. Whilst a romantic notion of a small country their football is terrible to watch.
we have now a new Trump low..
tender age ….facility…..
if your at all interested ,,,cover msnbc …..they are as I type ….they are stopping the usa press from entering these premises….Casa Presidenti…

What I’ve watched has been mainly on UK channels, BBC ITV as I use IPTV.
I’m beyond noticing the US commentary quirks like “the endline” and many others.
Maybe that’s why I try to incorporate words like shy and bye during live updates.
I am surprised that there is so much coverage given that we didn’t qualify.
I’m still focused on our return to real football.
Oh. And why do US sports have female co commentators for all sports?
Is this the day that the trophie’s git stripped ?
Anywye,,……..oot.
Zzzzzzzzzz

Cos half the world is female yet they are grossly underrepresented in all spheres of industry, commerce, professions and pay?

What does CQN mean to me…it has been the platform that has allowed me to meet so many good friends. It has been the platform that as allowed me to help many good friends raise awareness and money for so many great causes.
As in my first post all those years ago I sign off with my signature…
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Hola – final day in Puerto Pollensa and 5K run already under my belt! There’s a fridge to empty today!
CRC from last page around 11.10-ish, thanks for the kind words but you were and are the real can-do driving force.
Hail Hail
Good morning from a wet but brightening Dalmuir. Don’t do twitter or facebook, only social media for me is CQN. Think we are suffering from close season syndrome. Wish the posters I loved reading would return. Too many to mention, unfortunately.

Good morning good ghuys and ghirls from a wet Garngad
I hope we get a few new faces in soon.
My wee Grandson won a treble of honours at his 10 week coaching session, which included joint best player for 6 and 7 year olds, out of 40 kids. Chuffed to bits ?????
