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.

The one in Charlotte has dwindled a wee bit.
Celtic TV under the duvet seems a better attraction at 6.00am :0)
I’m in Charlotte and my older son’s in Huntersville. Younger on is in Lexington Virginia.
BTW the Oscar bit on my moniker is for the wee man with neuroblastoma.

By any chance does your younger one go to VMI? Reason I’m asking is my own son graduated from there in 1988. If so, what a small world !!!
BTW understand the bit about wee Oscar — what a fighter :<)
Heard the dog assaulted was called a Fenian
So are all our pets now Fenians or is it just dogs…?

Great letter with a lot of relevant detail.

For the gout sufferers.
Ask your doctor to prescribe colchicine. Discuss the side effects and be aware of them.
Relief within 30 hours.
The 30 hours can be a wee bit dramatic but worth it ultimately.
Then get prescribed Allopurinol and become aware of the diet that causes the build up of uric acid, especially purines.
BTW colchicine is not recommended for prolonged use.
Hail Hail bhoys and ghirls, this is my first post – lurked for ages but having grabbed a couple of the terrific CQN golf shirts from Pat and got the Champions League ringtone from ACGR today, it was time to take the plunge. Look forward to moonhowling with the best, or at least the rest.
Anyway here’s a wee story. There’s a kind of sub-masonic group of old trades associations here in Dundee, known collectively as the Nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee. They have a ceremonial chair that sits in St Andrews Church of Scotland church in the town. Recently that ceremonial chair had to be re-upholstered and it turned out that it hadn’t been re-upholstered since 1955. How did they know?
Because when the old material was stripped off, a note was found inside. Here’s what it said, I’ll write it as it was written:
“20 – XII – 1955, Tuesday
The world To-day is in a terrible state, there is war threatening on all sides, if this is found you may well laugh but between Russia, Bulganin, Kruschov and Egypt’s Nasser, what a mix up. But I don’t give a damn as long as Celtic wins the Scottish Cup. To Hell with the lot of them.”
It’s signed Tony McGarrity (as far as I can make out), and there’s a phone number. Poor old Tony had to wait till 1965 for his wish to come true.
I don’t mind telling you I got thrills and chills reading it. If anybody knows of Tony McGarrity or his family please let me know and I’ll give them my copy of the note. The original was stitched back inside the newly-upholstered chair.
Just got more thrills and chills listening to ACGR’s ringtone. That was some night against Karagandy.
And in answer to the as-yet unasked question, no – I’m not from the dark side :-)
I’m a Fenian and so is my budgie

Small world indeed.
Good to catch up/have a beer if you ever down this way.
Email too if you get from Paul?

Anyone seen the statement from the BBC giving support to Jim Spence and against the BBC trust, nope me neither. Third part reporting yes but nothing from the BBC.

It means Kojo is up to no good and he’s using Neil Lennon as a means to that end
I wis totally raging so I wis, totally don’t believe that this totally happened. Totally.

Just curious to what pet I can put a Celtic shirt on without it getting battered
TV series “Whitechapel” just been referred to as “Whitechurch” on Sevco TV.
Hurting, hurting huns….

Did CQN not have the Great Gout Debate 3 or4 years ago.
But as I was not paying attention I dont know the ultimate cure.
Kind of remember that attacks seemed to be worse around Lent.
Think it was the sudden abstinence from alcohol.

OMG, small world indeed:<)
My son and his family now live in Chester, Va. He took his degree in Civil Engineering at VMI.
How do we go about getting in touch? Email to Paul? Would love to share a jar (or three) with you.
BTW, I do some volunteer work at the NCTM in Spencer, NC.

No problem.
thindimebhoy.
Ye pick the wrong one and you could be left gutted.
Is our team for Tynecastle, the same as the one for the San Siro? I would be tempted to play the same eleven for both, and not rest players on Saturday.
