When Anthony Stokes picked himself off the ground having won a penalty yesterday his eagerness for a piece of the action was clear. Having missed the majority of the season through injury he is a player with a point to prove.
The penalty correctly went to Kris Commons but Anthony still had an opportunity to remind us what a valuable player he can be. He is not the strongest or most skilful player at the club but he is a natural goal-scorer.
Competition for a place in Celtic’s attack has seldom been more acute. Lassad, Miku, Samaras, Stokes and Watt are all pressing for a place alongside Gary Hooper. Each of them will have to consider the possibility of new arrivals in the summer, when securing a place in the squad, never mind the starting line-up, will be a challenge.
Anthony’s return to fitness, and form, is a timely reminder of what he brings to Celtic, and what we have missed once or twice this season.
On Friday 1 March the Lisbon Lions will be at the Kerrydale Suite providing commentary and answering questions on their magnificent European Cup final win in 1967. This has never happened in 46 years since that game, to say it is a unique opportunity fails to tell the whole story.
The event is part of our 125 4 125 campaign – central to reinvigorating the charitable spirit which is part of the club we love. It will be a family occasions, tickets are available at £10 for adults and £5 for children. The night has been organised by several fans working in conjunction with the people at Celtic Charity, so please do your best to support this great occasion. Individual tickets or tables are available, details here.

I was in Neuchatel also.
Brian O ‘Neill scored our goal with a header.
I spoke to Terry Cassidy that night .
He promised me that we would be in our new stadium in Cambuslang within 2/3 years.
We flew in style to and from Berne,with Harry Hynds travel.
The outbound flight was stuck on the runway in Heathrow for 2/12 hours ,so we had to suffer drinking champagne ,whilst they fixed it out.(:-)

See there are 22 lists to vote for . Strikes me as producing the same results as asking 22 ten year olds what they want for their dinner .
Went to hear Grillo —- astonishingly vulgar base populism . Watched Belusconi’s speech in Palermo —- dangerous populism /bribery ——- day he gets elected work will begin on the bridge across the Straits !
Tn’T @ 13:07,
You have recalled some wonderful memories.
The old Celtic Park is palpable in your posts.
Your Grandson is fortunate indeed, not because of the content of his ipad’s GigaBytes but the contents of his Grandad’s grey matter.
I was watching the Wire last night (aye again!) and in Baltimore the powers that be seem to want to make the crime figures appear less than they actually are and not the other way about. Funny that.
