Malmo quickly followed up their best result of the season against Salzburg with a 2-1 win over top of the table Gothenburg. They remain four points off the pace but whatever form issues they have had in recent months appear to be resolved.
Champions League football was a harsh experience for Malmo last season. They qualified after beating Salzburg 3-0 in the play-off round, coincidentally the same score they beat the same opponents by in the last round. While Salzburg went on to top Celtic’s Europa League group, Malmo lost home and away to Juventus and Atletico Madrid, winning their only points in a home win over Olympiakos.
I’m sure Celtic will have scouted yesterday’s game in Malmo and will have learned more about the home team than Malmo learned about Celtic during yesterday’s stroll in the park at Firhill. We will have seen them at their best, they will have seen us scarcely breaking sweat.
Ronny will have an idea of the extent of the challenge ahead. Malmo might not be a match for Juventus or Atletico but they know how to play European football. We will all have an important job to do at Celtic Park next week.

Can I ask – John Collins, who was at the interview ? And actually heard what was said ? And not what was printed ?
Only asking, as I do not believe the written press :-)

This new entry into Celtic blog land should be of interest first to my generation who started following Celtic in the late 50s but, as it moves forwards in a kind of 24 Hours style, to embrace the ones who picked up their green and white scarves in the 60s and 70s and later, to many many more Tims.
Jim Craig is the man giving his own personal slant on events and you might want to bookmark and follow as history is brought up to date as you read each new narrative.

Good leader, Ronny Deila was wrong when he said whoever we get in the draw
wouldn’t be as good as Qarabag.

One other comment, when you hit date on latest blog, it automatically refreshes article ? Which is good, but it takes you back to the very top of the blog, and not where you have been ?
I used to have to hit date/time stamp then hit refresh, and would bring you back to the point from where refresh was instigated
Hail Hail
Posting now appears to be doing same ? Takes you to top of blog ?

On android it does eventually take you to the last post point, but takes forever to fully load the page.
Watched the Malmö vs Gothenburg game yesterday, where Malmö dominated for most of the game.
They are well-organised and highly-motivated at home (cracking supporters).
That said, we are of a different class.

Battery running out,otherwise I’d post a link to Monty Python-Dodgy Knees.
Hope yer recovering well,bud.
Afternoon, a pleasant wee break in Edinburgh there, heading home now. I didn’t manage to see the game yesterday, the blonde one wouldn’t stop the car….! By all accounts it was a doddle, we are better placed all round now, than this time last year. Looking forward to the coming weeks.
It is good being a Tim….always.

The new design for the blog is great, once ye get used to it, it’s fine. This truly is the same blog with a different face. Does it have a holding company..

That awkward moment when they post from a newly made moniker, with the same agenda.
“Malmo lost home and away to Juventus and Atletico Madrid, winning their only points in a home win over Olympiakos.”
Paul67,
That sounds very much like what our own record would have been Imo.
The draw could have been much worse but Malmo are a much better side than many are suggesting.

1 hr 15 min just to get inside Ticket Office & Q is way longer now……..
@ourbrian
Apparently Steven Craigan’s face was like the Maryhill mascot when big Chris said he was talking rubbish.
does anyone know if last seasons grading structure for getting a ticket for an away european match still applies
last season had grades a up to e depending on how many previous away european matches the individula had been to
normally season ticket renewal stated this grading but this year nothing was stated on the renewal form
I was taken, as some, with the Firhill performance sure we got three points, who would have expected less.
A well-worked goal and finish from a long-ball was all we could muster against a poor poor excuse for a top-tier outfit – we did not make a barrowload of chances.
I agree, and have been saying much the same as John Collins, although in less diplomatic llanguage.
If we are stuck in this ‘Mickey Mouse’ league, we must put the ICT, Ross, Killie, Dundee, Hamilton and Particks of this world to the sword.
If we went all out in the first-half and scored, as we should, at least three goals against the dross, we could introduce the young and the fringe in the second-half – in theory that would give the aforementioned a maximum of EIGHTEEN games of FORTY-FIVE minutes- it would also add sharpness to the first-choice starters.
Now I know there will be coming on to rubbish – but we have got to start ‘thinking outside the box’, otherwise we will be dragged down to Vanarama Vanaroo standard of the above ‘pub teams’.
Would be eager to hear other serious ideas.
It is not acceptable to play in first-gear, because “the goals will come’ – they won’t come in Europe, with this approach.
BMCUWP.
progressing well mate. Good to be home where the missus and my boys are looking after me
