With John Guidetti ineligible, Anthony Stokes is manager Ronny Deila’s first choice striker for Europa League action. Anthony arrived at Glasgow Airport this morning but was sent home ill. He was a certain starter, so whatever plans the manager made, a rethink is in order.
Stefan Scepovic made his goal-scoring breakthrough against Astra last month, and followed up with a goal next time out against Kilmarnock, but he was benched for Partick and Inverness Thistle. Despite being third on the roster he’s likely to be the solitary striker role tomorrow evening.
This is a big game in Stefan’s Celtic career. A European ground with an 8500 capacity presents a different pressure, and expectation, than Celtic Park. Can he rise to the challenge? Wakaso stepped forward in Salzburg and Callum McGregor did the same in Reykjavik, Warsaw and Maribor. Both benefited enormously as a result. I could make a case that Stefan needs this game; the script’s written……
Many thanks to everyone who bought the DVDs from CQNBookstore since yesterday, that’s’ the deal finished. Will try to pull another together at some point.

Winning Captains
I’m not sure what the purpose of this initiative is and if it will meet it and I’m with Bankiebhoy that it would be more effective if supporters of other clubs signed up to it.
This could be done by having two sections. One which all supporters signed up to and the other for the Celtic supports view.
TSFM would be where to sound out this approach with a split draft.
On the content I have added to an extracted para below a bit about SFA Membership transfer in bold. Its probably too long as is but I wanted to make the point clear. It could be shortened to “normal Membership Application rule set aside for commercial purposes endangering the integrity of the game ”
As every other club moved up one place to fill the gap caused by the liquidation of Rangers, the new club created by Charles Green was allowed to enter the fourth tier of Scottish football. So there was no demotion of Rangers. The old Rangers died and Charles Green’s new club started life in the Scottish league system at the bottom – with no history and no tradition. An Associate SFA Membership could have been applied for within 14 days of joining the SFL and granted, so no need to transfer the SFA Membership held by the liquidated club to the new club. Transfer of a membership no more makes the new the club same as the old club than a golf club transferring a deceased father’s membership to his son makes the son his dead father or resurrects him. This was purely a commercial construct overriding the normal football rules when no need to.
