Any away win by a Scottish club in the Netherlands is noteworthy but Aberdeen’s win last night is even more significant. It is a sign that a recovery is underway in one of Scottish football’s perennial underachievers. St Johnstone’s result is more of the same after last year’s achievements. Motherwell’s sorry exit is a lesson on being unprepared….
If Celtic can reach the Champions League group stage for the third successive season, there’s reason to believe our game is on solid ground after the years of excess and abandon.

setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox but saying no to CQN racists

“I do have a wee worry that Ronny is trying to fit square pegs into round holes by playing Watt and Griffiths in wide roles to suit the format he wants to play.
Big Jock never asked players to do the things that he believed they couldn’t.”
He asked Mike Conroy to play centre half, he played Tom McAdam at centre half and centre forward,
*Was that no big Billy .
He even played Ron Yeats up front as Scotland manager.
*I believe that was out of necessity as there were numerous call off prior to this game including forwards Alan Gilzean and Neil Martin who had played in the game 4 weeks prior when Ron Yeats (big time Tim BTW) didnae play.
Not the best of performances from a young side. But it was only a friendly …
YNWA being sung. Hate to see any Celtic team lose any game but the kids fought well against a stronger determined St. Pauli side.
Great atmosphere it seems Y.N.W A. German style.
Much better second half show by the weans.
Should have got the draw, maybe undeserved.
Mc.Geoch our most consistent performer.
Worth while, as it gives more players an opportunity to impress the manager and for him to assess who stays and who goes.
Nothing else really mattered.
All over and a 1-0 defeat for the young lads.
Watt a positive,Henderson pass marks but defensively shaky and need to toughen up.
Right I’m off Tony Watt is making the dinner after cleaning my house..
Just managed to make it home to catch the last 15 mins. Going by the comments on here the young lhads seem to have had a bit of a stinker. Was it that bad?
St Pauli supporters might have a soft spot for the Celtic. Their players didn’t take any prisoners.
Did we learn anything? Hopefully, the young lhads learned a few lessons.
Atajic not Celtic class and I’m not just referring to the pen.
Whit’s wi a’ these male bra’s ?
Just watched Celtic on Premier sports. My prediction Tony Watt won’t make it at Celtic. Lazy
corkcelt..
Paul..is ..Primarily a RIGHT WINGER..
Ah am surprised , why Ronny, Played him oan the Left..
Is he getting ANY .. USEFUL input fae.. John Kennedy?
Also..
Tony Watt.. Played a Loat bettah ..in the Middle..
He wiz kinda Rusty.. but you could see that he is Oor Best Bet..
as a Striker in the Central Area of the Park..
Ah am Fair Puzzled.

Hilarious stuff there wi the streaker. Tony Watt was raging when Atajic took the ball off him to take the penalty. Nae wonder.
Weefra HH praying to Wee Oscar.

Well done to all and indeed the new CQN World Cup Predictor Champion, Blantyre Kev.
Prize monies will be distributed to all winners over the coming week.
Thanks to all that took part.

Legia play in a few hours, maybe worth watching that one.
What was the score??
Not really Just another tim, This place is full of drama queens. Bad error by Twardzik for goal. Lost possession a few times in dangerous areas but one nil against a physically stronger determined side is no disgrace for the kids. Pity we couldn’t score the penno but thats it. Nothing to worry about we move on.
Lost 1-0
Just another tim
Nah, I wouldn’t say it was a stinker. St Pauli deserved their win because they were more organised, sharper and created the best chances. The bhoys worked hard tho and weren’t overrun.
Death toll now over 1000 in Palestine. Pray for them.
Good experience for the younger players. I thought O’Connell, Henderson, Watt, McGeoch and McMullan all showed promise.
L.P@15.59
A wee harsh on young Tony mate naw?He was doing the work of two there
wae Atajic posted missing.Also maybe in a stronger team selection he would get
quality balls from say Stefan or Chris.
H.H
Hard to judge a young player when so many playing at the same time against such opposition.
At another time maybe 3 or 4 thrown in along with more experienced players who read the game better and help them and we see a different player.
Forgot it was on. Anything learned??
At least we can stop going on about Ronny’s unbeaten record :-)

Thanks for the updates ghuys.
Good run out for the developing players, and some cash from Premier Sports and Setanta.
From the side that lined up only Nir Biton is likely to feature against Legia.
Bit &Kris dohhhhhh
We need a back-up for Izzy. Twardzik is not a left-back.
I took out Premier Sports last week for the Dresden friendly. It advised me on screen that my Virgin Media bill would increase by £4:50 and that there would be an adjustment of around £2 because I was taking it in the middle of the month
I have watched
Celtic v Dresden
St. Pat’s v Legia
Groningen v Aberdeen and on Wednesday I will be able to watch Legia v Celtic. I’m hoping they will show the Celtic v Tottenham friendly but no information so far. I can and will cancel after 30 days.
Not bad value for money.

Most of the youngsters aren’t good enough….hopefully yet
He even played Ron Yeats up front as Scotland manager.
total rubbish.as soon as the game kicked off big ron ran back to play at the CENTRE HALF.
on a lighter note a BOOKIE frae Lanarkshire bet 4/1 you could not name the Scottish lineup.so all the mugs were betting on it and lo and behold big ron got number 9 on.all bets lost .!!!!!! was BIG JOCK a pal of said BOOKIE big paul 67 HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
corkcelt, seanoc
Cheers chaps. Sounds like we created a number of chances too along with the penalty miss. I’d be worried if the young uns were completely outplayed but it sounds far from it.
‘at’s it!!!!!

Thought he was very lazy. Thought Delia(yes man) model was to close down never seen him do much of that. Fasted he moved was to get the ball at the penalty. Would love it to be proved wrong. He minds me of Riordon talent lacks work rate.
Could win the last race too.
