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. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    TBH I’m almost indifferent to the result at Mordor tonight. If they win it will give us a chance to be drawn against them at some point and absolutely DESTROY them.

  2. More great play from Motherwell lying down again.

     

     

    No tackles

     

    No heart

     

    No desire

     

    No aggression

     

    No surprise.

     

     

    I’m away oot. Canny be bothered with a filth love in on the BBC

  3. saltires en sevilla on

    McCall should be hanging his head in shame ….and a few of his players

     

     

    Steward’s enquiry

  4. jinkyredstar cuts it back for Neil Lennon on

    The Mullet retains his toadying record

     

    If I paid money to watch Motherwell- I would be asking questions tonight- check the betting slips

  5. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    I cant say I see anything that would worry us about playing Motherwell or The Rangers.However,I know Motherwell will be pumped up on Saturday something there not tonight.Two nil now to the huns I would love us to draw them in the next round.H.H.

    The huns were a gift @ 17/10

     

     

    You back them then ET?

     

     

    I am on Motherwell at 3.25 on Betfair, they were bet off the board, as they should have been.

     

     

    p.s. I just noticed they have scored again, regardless, the prices were all wrong.

    Thanks my phone was in my pocket in the hall, enough to keep Miss Prestonpans shooting at them :)

  8. Motherwell ……………..embarrassing and their fans have paid to watch this hope they hunt mcall for this tonight it’s just wrong!

  9. Shocking from motherwell. They look afraid to have a shot. Under instruction from the mullet i would say.

  10. On the bright side , a chance to beat the 1957 Bhoys in the next round.We would destroy the Sevconians by an enormous margin.

  11. The Comfortable Collective on

    McCall joined the masons in Ibrox. Not just when he was at rangers, but IN Ibrox.

     

     

    So did Terry Butcher.

     

     

    I wonder who Sevco will draw at home in the next round …..

  12. joe_joe_john_bobby_teddy on

    Utter disgrace, McCall you are the lowest of the low, an utter fraud. Ann Robinson should be told.

  13. Algarvian

     

     

    Of course I did.

     

     

    Free money is hard to turn away.

     

     

    A combination of the referee, the mullet and the lack of fight from his team, as I said a gift.

     

     

    I can’t get my head around the decimal betting, a bit thick and set in my ways :>)
