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.

Good to see appropriate social distancing behind the goal at Ferencvaros Juve game !!!
GDT
Aye, a rock and a hard place.
In spite of that I still loved The Jungle.
So FtSFA are £4.5m short, and looking at redundancies
I can only assume. They have started with the Compliance officer
As they have missed a slap by a Columbian on Scott Brown
&
A forearm smash on Albion Ajeti, by an Aberdeen player
Mind you the Daily Rectum missed both these as well
Also, what about FtSFA cup final money, will this be paid out if FtSFA are short of cash ???

Rather than miss any game time going to the lavvy , most punters had a portable lavvy . Before the days of ring pulls , you needed a n opener with a pointy end . It hooked on the rim of the can to punch a hole in each side of the top . Once the can
was consumed , voila! , your own portable lavvy . Considerate punters bent down and poured the contents on the ground so that the guy in front would suffer no more than wet feet.
I see Big Jamesgang was on earlier looking for someone to explain betting odds to him.
It took me back to the tiem I tried to explain the same to Mrs Baldie. Me – “If you bet £1 on a horse and it comes in at 10/1 you get £11 back. if it comes in at 5/1 you get £6 back.” Mrs Baldie – “What happens if it comes in at exactly 1 O’Clock?” ;-)
