Georgios is hugely important to Celtic on Champions League duty. His presence and experience is crucial, but his ability to hold the ball up, often the subject of frustration for some in SPL games, is fundamental to Celtic’s chances of playing at this level.
Georgios Samaras hamstring injury, coming late in the first half against Kilmarnock, is a carbon copy of the injury he picked up late in the first half against Berwick Rangers two years ago this month. Hamstrings mostly to go early in games, or early in the second half, before players muscles are properly warmed and stretched. It is unusual for a player to get well into a game, when limbs should be stretched, before picking up this kind of injury. Time for a rethink of the player’s preparations on cold days.
I only saw around 10 minutes of the Scottish Cup tie at Tannadaice this afternoon but was unfortunate to witness Ian Black twice make an offensive hand gesture, once apparently aimed at the Dundee United support. If he was wearing green I’m sure he would be dealt with.

I agree re Regan …however he has shown appalling naivety in allowing himself to hoodwinked by the huns in the establishment and on that issue has shown himself unfit for purpose
Also …the Sky deal is a pittance …Sky must be laughing up there cuff at us ..controlling our game for such a miserly sum
I will miss the game today……have to take a relative to Musselbrough Racing, and I don’t even gamble……LOL …… will have to rely on CQN for updates ‘on the hoof’ ……. Any good tips ? ……. Not for me, but the person I’m taking …….. MON THE HOOPS …..
Big day yesterday……..it may have finally dawned on the lot of them, or are they going to continue with their pathetic charade that this new team (following the death of the old club) is ‘the real deal’ …….. They’re shoite and you know they are, and will be for decades now….. Onwards and upwards now for all the honest teams in Scotland (Excluding murderwell, who let their fans down badly against the tribute act)
Final word, honest …….. Well done to all the fans who resisted the commercial priorities of the SFA etc, in favour of sporting integrity…… We won, with truth an justice prevailed …… Now, give ipox back to the Liquidators / creditors
Any team news yet?
Good morning CQN from a dry bright Clydebank

as a country our football clubs we will never be able to generate 1 billion pounds per season from commercial activities, but we should be able to get a hell of a lot more than the 15 million we get right now, f&ck i bet sky get at least half that from advertising even without old firm game

First race ,4 runners ,1-4 fav can’t be bet,if it was me :O)small e/w on ootsider 66-1.
Parkheadcumsalford,
BBC commentator last night wrongly referred last night to Dundee United voting for them to be relegated to division three, and later, rightly, to Craig Whyte taking the club (not the company) into administration.
Is it too much to expect folk who get paid t talk about football to get it right all of the time?
Need a wee bit of help,on a kindle fir and don’t know
how to refresh the the page.
Thanks in advance.

” the cultural aspects of Italian footie ”
I have a contract with Lavazza [ the coffee people ] They lend me one of their fabulous machines in exchange for me buying x[ for 2 years] of their fabulous coffee pods. . Sharp suited young man delivers the pods every 2 months . He comes from Catania , he supports Catania.
I saw him yesterday —he was looking forward to watching Napoli v Catania —
He said –” I hope Napoli win ”
Me —–” but you support Catania ”
Him — ” yes but success for Catania is staying in Serie A / that is in the bag and all that matters now is that Juve don’t win the scudetto. The Agnelli family own Italy –it’s good when they don’t get to own football too “

Celebrity fan Snoop Dogg wants
to be the Celtic mascot against
Juventus!
The hip hop superstar has been
following the Champions League
campaign avidly and wants to lead
out Neil Lennon’s side against the
Serie A champions.
Tickets are like gold dust for the
biggest match that Glasgow has
staged in years with the LA based
sueperstar desperate for a share od
rgw action
“It’s the one I need to go to,” he
revealed during an interview in
Dubai. “It’s the game we’ve been
waiting for.
“I need tickets but I want to walk
out with the team like a little kid
with the banner. Yes, yes, make it
happen. Hail, hail the Celts are
here. Yabadabadoo!”
Hoop Dogg added: “I fell in love
with the club and what better way
to show my support than to be a
part of it. I just want to learn more
about it and I figured if I become a
part of it, I’ll do that.
“I love sports, I’m athletic. All
around the world there are different
sports that dictate that part of the
world you live in – and I just want to
be a part of it.
“I have got a big interest in soccer.
It’s not new for hip hop stars to
invest in sports teams but it is a
new thing for hip hop stars to invest
in soccer teams.
“I haven’t really thought how much
to put in. I don’t need to run the
club but I’d like enough of a
percentage to get me on the board
and be heard.
“I want to bring a bit of Snoop to
things. I am passionate about my
sport. The boxes at Celtic would
never be the same once I have
hosted a party there.”
Vile, bigoted, racist, dirty swine Dundee United support the last straw for one of Sevcomedia’s finest:
“Yesterday gave us a stark reminder of where we are right now, but also where we are heading. Not only was our performance dreadfully poor, but Utd were hardly a shining example of silky football. Whilst I will fully support the club in its progression through whichever league we are in, returning to “the top” as it is notionally referred to in Scotland is not in itself appealing given the poverty of football there.
Furthermore, Utd fans gave a depressing performance of what an SPL team’s support can be. A general lack of atmosphere peppered with repetitive hatred and lies, along with a good old dollop of sectarianism as the authorities look the other way, most likely towards the Rangers’ fans for anything more than a quiet escape of wind, demonstrates that our goal is far from ideal.
If that wasn’t enough, we would have the renewal of the hate-filled fixture that the media hype up for added hatred. The farce of the “Shame Game”, with intimidation from the stands, racism still an occasional and depressingly uncontroversial ingredient and the inflammatory press reporting is just another reminder of the gruesome twisted relationship that our so called rivals have consciously created. I sincerely hope to never see another match against that club of bigoted and immoral moralisers.
Scotland has become a backward ghetto of little skill or artistry but plentiful hatred and bigotry against all things Rangers. It was said in another context, but remains true in many other senses; for many reasons Rangers deserve better- better than anything Scotland can offer.
I really feel it is time for a permanent divorce from our numerous obsessive haters, in boardrooms, press rooms and in the stands who will never give us a fair hearing or a decent welcome. There is very little or no support- or even understanding- outside of Ibrox for our recovery. The atmosphere and culture within the game in Scotland is irreparably poisonous towards us.
It’s time to stop being used as everybody else’s meal ticket and doormat, simultaneously. Rangers really do deserve better, even if it requires unprecedented measures. We must explore all avenues for an alternative to this land where the only promise is of yet more bigotry and hatred. ”
How the United support can live with themselves beats me. I mean “Go home ya Huns” – sectarianism at its worst.
G’day Celts
Wrre the famous glasgow celtic and we’re off to kirk-callddyyy

I think the sky deal is a poor deal for the SPL but probably good for the national team I would gladly boot sky out of Scottish football until they give us a serious deal using the subscription model i.e.10% of what English football gets, why do we undervalue ourselves so much?

Top of the morning to you all from a blustery Fife where the sun is showing at times between very light showers. More spring-like than wintery.
Hope for a good game today and a win to set us up for a quarter final tie against anyone.
Good to see Neil take the team to see John Thomson’s grave at Bowhill/Cardenden.
The tragic accident to our young keeper in 1931 is but a page in our history but one of the most poignant.
It’s enough to make your heart go Oh Oh Oh Oh, we don’t care if we win loose or draw….
Respect to Turnbull Hutton.

The disciplinary process that Reagan has got involved in has done what exactly ?
Sometimes its ok to damn a man. The faint praise given beforehand is often very transparent and also says more about the author than the subject.
Reagan has done nothing and has to go.
Its all about perceptions.
