Spartak and the long road home

1014

Having disposed of Raith Rovers last night, Celtic have two huge away games, against top of the table Motherwell before a trip to Moscow for a Champions League match against Spartak in six days.

Tonight Spartak play just a few miles from the Ukraine border and have a journey of close to 1000 miles on Saturday.  It is little wonder they, like Celtic, are looking for ways to improve their injury record.

Celtic will travel to Moscow only a few hours after Spartak leave the city of Perm to journey home.  On Tuesday we will be the fresher team.  Could this be the game we break our duck away from home in the Champions League?  If we get it right on the park it will be.

I didn’t read the (incredible) statement by Charles Green until late last night, when I caught it via the excellent analysis by Paul McConville on his Random Thoughts blog.  Mr Green, Paul concludes, is “Either… stupid, which he is not, or he has decided to continue to appeal to his core support”.

There is a third alternative.  Last season we watched Craig Whyte, then Duff and Phelps, embark on a series of unfathomable actions.  Neither party was stupid, nor were their actions necessarily guided by anything as a coordinated appeal; they were simply being buffeted along by circumstances.  No one was in control, had the experience necessary or was party to a deliverable Grand Plan, resulting in a series of random utterances.

  1. Seems that Chuck is giving away match tickets and making the program an OPTIONAL buy. So how do Murderwell feel about this? They can sing for their 50% split of c40,000 crowd as a number of them got in for nowt?!

     

     

    Underhand. What are the SFA rules on ticketing for their cup? I thought it was minimum pricing – does this rule exclude “complimentary” tickets?

  2. The Green Brigade are a plague on society according to the laptop loyal. The huns are showing their defiance according to the BBC tonight.

     

     

    Putting the game off, cant listen to this Hun love-in anymore from the BBC.

  3. Elgin, East Stirling and Montrose all scored in the first half hour at Ipox,surely the SPL Leaders can………

  4. If the skanks win tonight UEFA would need to be lookin’ at match fixing.

     

    It would be on a par with Accrington Stanley beating ManUre.

     

    Hunbelievably suspect.

     

    Betting patterns would need scrutinising, too.

     

    Just sayin’.

  5. Marrakesh Express on

    Paterson…’Ally’s done really well’.

     

    Keep it up Craig…they’ll believe anything but the truth.

     

     

    Hh

  6. Fortune favours,

     

    Re splitting gate money.

     

    I have heard that on these occasions ‘ big team vs wee team ‘ :-) , then the clubs often agree a fixed amount beforehand, which leaves the host club free to set whatever price they wish.

  7. Glendalystonsils likes a mr whippy with his lime green jelly on

    Two cr@p teams equals one cr@p game. How can this shower be ahead of us in the league?

  8. Is it just me or did elbows have the ball in his hands a full second before the whistle blew? …… Like he knew something in advance?

  9. !!Bada Bing!!

     

     

    I’ve yet to see him tackle in a Huns game, what a wee crapper he is, he’ll be booting Wee Jamesy up and doon the park on Saturday until Big Vic gets a hold of him!!

  10. Hun v Hun…..what’s the point. Mulletwell playin’ like Montrose. Huns playin’ like the blooterin’ bag of spanners they always were.

     

    Manure playin’ Newcastle….at least that’s football and not a love-in.

     

    Shortbread are scandalous in their slavish pandering to orc central. Fear of zombies is endemic it seems.
