I want Scotland to win at pretty much anything. For me (fourth generation), this is my home and my country. I also want Celtic players to be successful. But the engagement with tonight’s qualifier against Serbia is not there. If I’m really honest, my biggest wish is for Callum McGregor to have a midweek off.
Memories of the 1998 World Cup do not help. Celtic contributed more players to that tournament than any other club in world football. We paid a price the following season as exhaustion took its toll. Do I really want Celtic players on international duty in throughout the summer, before another tortuous European qualification campaign? Do you? No need to pull that plaster off yet.
My country’s position on the international stage has always been viewed through pragmatism. Will it hurt the poor, or the soon-to-be-poor (hmmm)? Will it hurt what I really care about, like Celtic?
So good luck to them tonight, but if we are beaten by the better team, I will be consolable.

Celtic took food with them on jan ’66 v dynamo Kiev ECWC game.That was a first.
Good afternoon cqn from an office in Springburn and looking outside its wet and windy.
MM – Superb about the young yins, keep up the good work, my young grandson is now in a wee league and its updates all the time from him :) he scored 9 last Saturday :)
Big Jimmy- Good to see you posting, aye it will be that non alcoholic beer that’s making you feel unwell. That’s good you got out a wee while last week as well. Its good that wee Rocky will get sorted by a Cat sitter.
What about our Celtic lahds last night for Scotland, RC scoring plus first 2 penalty takers the Griff and Cal Mac that should give them confidence to bring back to club level.

Thank you for that, always thought it was a Spanish team, but the main
point was big Jock’s foresight back in the day.

Not like me to leave myself wide open for a retort………distracted by email saying i need to take a covid test to stay in Lanzarote apartments……….ironically first time in ten visits i haven’t stayed in mate’s flat which he kindly vacates.
Melbourne Mick.
i think it was in 1966 and 1968 when we played Dynamo kiev.seem to recall pics of hampers at a snowcovered airort comes to mind.That would probably be the tie you ol codgers( stating bravely 000s miles away) are talking of.
I think we also took our own food to Qarabag and Karagandy games as the goathead soup didnt appeal….as a dessert.!! lol
hope all good mick on the Celtic peninsula

I was surprised you do not need them to fly.

Your welcome sir.

And just as a wee reminder about Jock sticking to detail did we
not also take some chefs/ cooks whatever, seems to resonate
with me.

Is the present SFA different to those who held office from a bygone age,or is it much the same?
course it is.Why do you ask?

Containers of Mince, Spag Bol, Steak pie, and anything that can heat
in a microwave.
Talking about goats head soup, tried that on one of my strange

Much the same as the Irish FA.It was more tongue in cheek!

Hi David,it depends on the country going to,and their status/level with us here in the uk.
The nhs will not test you for travel,they will advise you seek clarity with your travel provider and your destinations embassy/consulate in the uk.If a test is needed its go private and cost involved.
i hope its negative and they both have an enjoyable time David.Will get together soon i hope
