Neil Lennon will begin to get his players back at Lennoxtown tomorrow after, what for most of the first team, has been a two week international break. For many of the established players, he’ll be hoping for a clean bill of health, but with trips to Tynecastle and Milan ahead, the manager will be keen to spend time with Teemu Pukki.
Teemu played 92 minutes for Finland in Tbilisi last night so will get little time on the training fields before Celtic’s next two games. Tynecastle itself may provide the most effective training opportunity ahead of Wednesday’s game at the San Siro.
Delighted for Gordon Strachan, who has already caused an unlikely upturn in Scotland’s fortunes. He is a better coach and tactician than he ever got credit for. His Key Performance Indicators (winning leagues, knock out stages of the Champions League) were achieved in spades, but there was a soft underbelly which always seemed to undermine progress. Curiously, his Celtic team went 15 months without keeping a clean sheet away from home in all competitions, despite winning the league in both seasons this run spanned.
The one game during this period of note was the 1-0 defeat to Milan in the Champions League knock out stage; the only game Celtic completed 90 minutes without conceding. If Neil Lennon can replicate this achievement he stands an excellent chance of a second successive memorable Champions League campaign.

On RS tonight
Info was two Hertz games ..Spurs and Well both of which to lose …suggested he played in neither
And Huns V East Stirling …he bet on draw …scored in their 4-2 win …
How bad must they have been last season if their own players weren’t confident they’d beat East Stirling
Evening champions
My jaws are sore… laughing at a zombie on ssb….
After going on about their 140 years history etc etc.. he says they need to get shot of black …. he has no class or dignity … not a man like jock wallace or willie waddell or ally mccoist. ..
Oh … I need a drink

Ain’t going my tickets either, think I remember reading they would be dispatched to get to your house at least 3 days before the game.

Jim Spence complains of being abused while out for walk with wife
Thursday 12 September 2013
BBC Scotland presenter Jim Spence has been at the centre of another controversial incident following his row with Rangers fans.
Spence used his Twitter account tonight to say: “Thanks to @TaysidePolice for a reassuring call there after an incident earlier today. This is getting out of hand.”
He added: “Was out for a walk with my wife…Abuse on twitter is one thing but when people start on you in the street with your wife that’s another entirely.”
No further details of the incident were immediately available.

I don`t know if PF`s RS meant Radio Scotland or Reporting Scotland but it was definitely reported on the latter that Them V East Stirling ( Draw) was one of the games he bet on.

A typical pro Sevconian decision by the SFA again today. It’s a good job Black didn’t call his bookie a fanny as he’d be in right bother!
Sipsini and burghbhoy
Thanks for that, you have saved me a call to the ticket office in the morning.
Never a good experience!

So the Hun playing their usual Neanderthal role.
Intimidation, violence , bigotry and ignorance is their M.O

Don’t be afraid to tell the truth

Aye, Jum, just like Oor Lennie, really brought it on himself.
I mean, imagine daring to have an opinion outside that of the party line…
Shame on you Jum!

What clown wrote that mate?
Being threatened with your wife in the street is controversial !!!
Unreal.
“Who was that Turkish footballer who played for Chelsea, Birmingham and Leicester?”
“Izzet?”
*Pause*
“Well, you going to tell me or not?”
Sadly Spence isn’t a true enemy of ‘The Peepil”
He’s collateral damage.
The journalists’ consensus will be – ‘ he shouldn’t have said that…’
Not – ‘ he should be aloud to speak the truth…’
U
allowed …
oops
although some journalism today…?
If the nightingale could sing like you…
On second thoughts gather the guests and I’ll tell them what I expect of them…
from the UN site
‘They set forth everyday rights such as the right to life, equality before the law, freedom of expression, the rights to work, social security and education. Together with the UDHR, the Covenants comprise the International Bill of Human Rights.’
I don’t mind being killed but I resent hearing it from a guy who’s head comes to a point…
U McGhee
The aloud was correct. All the journalists should be shouting aloud that they are deid.
If this lady is your wife, you should be ashamed…
I see, you want a manager who doesn’t steal money… Good day gentlemen!
Have we landed on the moon yet?
The Huns are indeed a bunch of Neanderthals, don’t agree with them or point out the truth as plain as the eye can see and they resort to the same playbook threaten the party or parties involved. This is further promoted by their pie munching manager(demanding to know their names)and anyone else connected with that shower of misfits.
It makes you sick to the stomach that these miscreants can get away with their bully boy tactics. The BBC should come out and condemn this incident because if they would have stuck by Jim Spence in the first place this kind of thing may not have happened.

The actions of sevco and there support have really stooped to a new low,they are a sickening bunch of bullying thugs & bigots,and have made Scottish football an unhealthy place to be they have single handedly ruined the game in Scotland,I just I wish they would they could never darken our door again
But while Scotland has a need for bigotry and sectarianism I’m afraid we will be stuck with this rancid lot unless we can get out and play our football elswere
Off topic guys – fitba tactics:
Apparently this Chilean guy is something special.
