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.

Re the Boxer dog,
It’s name is Magic.
It drinks in The Emerald Isle & occasionally Bar 67.
Hamiltontim asked it once if it wanted a drink (I know, I know) and Magic said no thanks I’m feeling a bit ruff:-))

Thart was the day I got married. Wedding was in the morning and the reception at night (weird I know but —.)
Suggested going to the game before the reception but that was frowned upon by my new missus. (Don’t know why :<p )
Anyway, despite that we're still together after all that time.

I have had gout since the day after the Scottish cup final.
I actually thought that I had broken my big toe.
My medication help’s , but at times I want to amputate my foot.

Get to your Doctors in the morning and get them to prescribe strong pain killers and anti-inflammatory. Anything of the shelf is useless. Suffer from it myself so I know exactly how you’re feeling.

A stor posted the game on page 2…

I thought I’d broke my toe. Hospital thought it was gout. Turned out it was celulitis and ended up in hospital on a drip for a week.. Pain was dreadful.
MickTT,
:-)))).
Apparently, it has to stand at the bar as it’s not allowed on the seats!
Thanks guys doctors it is -amputation has crossed my mind as its driving me bonkers just like Mrs Row and her lack of sympathy

Does Magic drink Newky brown or MD? :)
kikinthenakas,
That would be a good trick as it’s tail has been docked.

Naproxen is an anti inflamatory which your doctor can prescribe -however if you get several attacks then you need allipurinol 1 pill per day for life. Since taking this have never had an attack.
Been told Sevco share price to drop tomorrow. A bad news day…

My gp has me on them . previously diclofenic..
Ole solpadol 30/500 do the trick though.
At least I’ve cut down..

I was in no way denigrating ‘ The boys around the boiler, making the hot asphalt’.
In my varied & wasted life, I lifted the coshes on the stretch from Yoker to Dalmuir West when the trams had been made redundant & the new modern road was being laid.
I navvied on the new-fangled motorways down through Yorkshire & jack-hammered my way though the country roads of Buckinghamshire.
I have nothing but fond memories for the smell of tar & for the men who laid it.
I would love to do it all again.

They’re all the same. When I first got it a couple of years ago my Mrs was surprised that the 20p a pack Aldi’s paracetemol she got me didn’t do the trick.
Well interesting Tarrier debate…

I seem to remember the term Taig, thems referring to us, I asked a guy who I knew and he was a kind of an oracle (clever guy if that’s how you spell it) and he told me that is what’s something about a family named Montaigue a high up Catholic family in Ireland, don’t know whether it was the north or south, It was a while ago and I am not to clear of the specifics, maybe someone else might have heard it, thought I would just toss that in, I could be or he could have been totally wrong.
tomtheleeds
No – but it’s a wonder he didn’t get the blame ;-)
hoopy
I knew what you meant.
The Sevconian reaction is to home in on anything negative, rather than positive
Celtic 3 Karagandy 0
First words, on the game from Sevconian ” I think Scott Brown will get done by UEFA – for that tackle ”
Imagine putting a Celtic shirt on a Dog?
How did they know the Dog was a Celtic supporter, it’s not as if it jumped out the bed in the morning – and said to itself where’s ma Hoops Top, am going into the town for a late night clubbing”

Hebcelt
Tell your son to go to the Riviera Hotel, there’s a bar in there called the Queen Vic they show the games, but make sure he calls before he goes to make sure they are showing it, failing that tell him to go on to the North American Celtic Suppers web page, they will give him all the. Help he needs. HH
