Sparta on 50% Celtic’s game time this season

208
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    I note Scott McKenna had another solid game and even scored as Forrest beat Coventry.

     

     

    I still think this is one that got away.

    @Big Jimmy..When you see this big man please take the humour as intended..

     

     

     

     

    If the expense of looking after your treasured friend catches up with you ….

     

     

     

     

    Or you have to go down the road of private visits?.Please get my email from P67…

     

     

     

     

    You won’t have to do it alone mate…

    Cheers mate, but I havent received any email from Paul67…yet ?

     

     

    When I do, I will certainly look at it and take it on board.

     

    in the meantime, The Donations led PDSA are tending to Rocky, so I just give them Cash for any medication ( INSULIN etc)…and a few £££’S On Top as a Donation. Moneywise, I am okay for now, but thanks again for your Post etc.

    Toast and Cheese ?…….Just a little Salt surely..nothing else to be added for me.

     

    HH.

     

     

    Trump acting like the spoiled Wean and Bully that he has always been…..I can picture violence/riots on some streets If/WHEN he is declared a LOSER, CHUMP etc…and that will all be down to him….while he sits, tucked away safe and sound, surrounded by security…

     

    I wish someone would give Trump a Glesga Kiss…..On his way out the door.

    Cheers DAVID mate, we are okay.

     

    I HATE giving Rocky the Insulin Jags twice a day, but its got to be done. I am just hoping and praying that I remain well enough to stay OUT of Hospital, for so many reasons.

     

    I have one of my Lovely Heart Nurses coming to visit me this Morning. Its nice to ahve a real person to briefly chat to, as I am as FED UP with this Covid as everyone else is.

     

    I am 65 just before Christmas..I hope that I can celebrate that Birthday with numerous Beers…IN a PUB ?

    All these Thursday games with their subsequent vote counting on a Friday evening is helping to limit my units! Look forward to hearing from you all after tonight’s game.

    Toasted Cheese? …a simple addition of thinly sliced chorizo sausage

     

    and a “hint” of tabasco sauce with a light “dusting” of white pepper..

     

    et voila………………………….you have a tasty Half-Time snack – known in this household as a

     

    Clydebank Pizza!

    I gather from Radio Scotland that Neil Lennon is all over the back pages with his criticism of the Scottish Government. Personally, I think he should not have fallen into the SMSM’s trap. That should be Peter Lawwell’s brief to answer such questions. The SMSM should also have been asked about why they kept their knowledge of Boli’s transgression to themselves until it could damage Celtic (and potentially Kilmarnock, quite literally).

    and others who put me right.

     

    Yep, the song I quoted was indeed the B side of the bhoys of Lisbon and not the Celtic song. Matt McGinn and not Glen Daly sang the above.

    ‘Good to see NL questuining the covid shite with the huns.’

    He’s not. He says he can’t comment on that.

     

     

    He’s pointing out the double standards of the SNP government in condemming Celtic and commending the huns.

  37. McPhail Bhoy on

    Agreed regarding Neil’s comments on the double standards from the Scottish government. However, I agree as others have said this is an issue not for the manager but for the Executive both in a public statement and a letter to the government.

  40. lets all do the huddle on

    ffs man

     

     

    what is wrong with some folk

     

     

    it’s toast ‘n’ cheese

     

     

    you toast* one side then turn it over, put the cheese on and toast until the cheese is melted to your satisfaction

     

     

    then heavy with the black pepper

     

     

    and that’s it

     

     

    * – do not try this in the toaster
