Sparta Prague arrive in Glasgow today ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League clash at Celtic Park top of the Czech league with maximum points from six games. Form in the Europa group stage has not been so kind, they suffered three goal defeats at home to Lille then away to Milan, so ambition to progress will already be tempered.
As winners of the Czech Cup last season, they qualified automatically for the Europa group stage, but could only finish a very distant third in their domestic table. While not having to endure the randomness of qualification is an obvious benefit, they have played only nine competitive games this term. Celtic have played twice as many. At this stage of the season, this feels like a benefit, Celtic are certainly better prepared now than they were nine games ago.
A week ago, with so much on the line against Aberdeen at Hampden, I wanted the trip to Lille out of the way without incident. The points available at Fir Park on Sunday feel significantly more important than those up for grabs against Sparta, but that draw in France gives Celtic a decent fighting chance to progress from this group.
To achieve that, a win will be required against Sparta tomorrow.

Most league appearances for Celtic during 9-in-a-row:
Flag of Scotland Scott Brown (257)
Flag of Scotland James Forrest (222)
Flag of Scotland Callum McGregor (177)
Flag of Sweden Mikael Lustig (160)
Flag of Honduras Emilio Izaguirre (154)
Flag of Scotland Leigh Griffiths (151)
Flag of Scotland Craig Gordon (147)
So the SFA has a £4.5m shortfall and needs to make redundancies. I’d start with Maxwell, Petrie , the entire referee organisation. – in fact the whole lot could go.
As a poster on here used to say

Both a while back…
USA is a scared country – like a bully who is so insecure it lashes out hurting & intimidating friends while pandering to bigger bullies
It’s also almost medieval in it’s tendency to believe every snake charmers’ speil about the nasty ‘others’ in the country.
Greed, insecurity, race & abuse dominate so much of what asses for the American way.
BTW I’m now a citizen of that same benighted country – something I did when Adolph Twittler became president. My grand children all live here & when he won it seemed my green card was not so secure after all. As it happens my citizenship can be rescinded if I commit certain crimes of a serious enough nature. But ultimately, it’s down to a Trump controlled Federal agency.
We have “friends’ in Waukesha County, Wisconsin – where they voted 63% for Trump yesterday.
When Clinton was going through his sex scandal stuff with Congress these folk were disgusted & howled how he was unfit to be POTUS because of his personal life & his general character.
Yes – you may have guessed – they have adopted the opposite view with the Mango Mussolini. His gross character defects, sexual misbehaviour, criminality & dishonesty are now immaterial because they now “judge the policy outcomes not the man”.
They are ostensibly christian & see no issue with double standards in this.
We didn’t watch any of the circus last night.
Watched the conclusion to The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix – excellent stuff.
I didn’t realize until later that four of the main characters are English actors who’s American accents were so convincing I was almost shocked when I checked on Google later.

İstanbul Başakşehir have a lively looking marauding left–back. Must be worth a few quid….
I had a budgie called Sparky and a tortoise called Timmy. Never had a dog or a cat.
pure random question, i hadnt even thought of before, did the old hayshed jungle not have any toilets ?
did the underpass toilets only come when the new jungle was installed ?

The old Jungle getting set for a refurbish in the mid sixties, it was transformed into the Jungle many of us recall so fondly.

Just make sure you out the fleg up the right way or they will deport you for said heinous crime!
On a tangent – my Scottish mate who lives in Wales just took Irish citizenship as a reaction to Brexit (keep his options open)
Minor problem is that he doesn’t have the passport yet as the Passport office is shut due to lockdown and they still have his UK passport . He can’t go anywhere, even if he is allowed out of the country now
The Jungle had toilets…Whhhhhhhhat😮😮😮

The jungle might have had toilets but I think most customers preferred rolled up newspapers or emptybeer cans or the back of the legs of the person in front of them.

As much as I grew to dislike Spacey over his off the field stuff, I liked House of Cards – especially that upside down country in distress fleg.
I used to admire the national flag besottedness when I came here a a visitor but I soon realized it was all a front like the old guy behind the curtain in Wizard of Oz.
It provokes an often visceral reaction in me when I see who wrap themselves in it now.

very seldom used them, but I would use it as a short cut to get from one end to the other.
I really got disgusted and scunnered though when people would buy a pie and a drink and them go straight in with the consumables for a piss.
Got a worse scunnering when the fella with the carboard box full of rolls, which i bought sometimes, passed by me in those urinals,
and we complain about hot water these days.

It’s a wonder we all survived!
Biden wins Wisconsin and moves a step closer Keep The Faith ☘
The toilets in the old Jungle were right in the middle. I spent my early days on the wall at the back and very near. My Dad used to stand almost in the middle because of his eyesight. He used to life me down at the end of the game, by which time there was usually a big puddle. If the toilet were still in existence today, Celtic Park would be closed down immediately.
Havertz of Chelsea tests positive, Chelsea play tonight, surely he must have been in touch with the rest of the squad?
SAINT STIVS,
Charlie Gallagher might have felt upset because people only remembered him for those 2 corners. Imo, they are probably the 2 most important corners in Celtic’s history.
Starting to feel a bit more confident about Joe Biden getting to the White House, certainly moreso than I was in the wee wee hours as Frank used to sing. And anyways it is not that far from Delaware.
This would be a great victory for the Democrats if it happens.

CHARLIE GALLACHER made all 3 goals in that final.
Bada
Money talks
I remember going to a game in the 70’s with my new bell bottoms on.
Because of the risk of getting plashed with pee I turned them up.
A wee while into the game me and those round about me could smell something burning.
Eventually found out that someone had dropped a fag end into my turnup and it smouldered for ages.
Gutted I was.
SORRY GH.
Adi- it’s the only show in town

If your bellbottoms hadn’t been turned up it wouldn’t have happened but then again , If the bellbottoms had been wet with pish it wouldn’t have happened either!
St Stivs – 😂
I remember my great Grandfather telling me about them😜
No seriously I do remember a trough/ cut out on the floor were the pish would run/overflow , I dont remember urinals though.
