It’s difficult to say for sure if Stjarnan are the worst team I’ve seen Celtic play but they are there or there about. They defended resolutely, have a good goalkeeper and scored a fine goal, but they are no Arbroath.
Ronny will be annoyed at the loss of the early goal. I always think of San Marino’s opening goal against England on these occasions. This was back in the 90s, when San Marino weren’t the team they are now (cough). England took kick off but found themselves a goal down after 7 seconds. They lost a sloppy goal because they were far too complacent, as did Celtic last night.
One thing which will be clear to all is the focus on goal Leigh Griffiths brought when he came on. It will be tempting to contrast this to Nadir Ciftci, who looked (and was) less potent, but Leigh’s first sight of goal came as a result of Nadir’s work. I suspect both benefit from being able to play off a partner.
The passing looked better last night and it was good to see the lungs remained productive until late in the game. We now have a big week of preparation ahead of the next round.
Delighted to see the Celtic Foundation on the shirts last night, well done to all concerned. The Foundation should feature more prominently in everything we do (fans and club). And if you’ve got a pair of trainers, sign up for the Great Scottish Run.
Just caught news of Newco’s £175k bid for Scott Allan. Define overinvestment, to use local parlance.

Will be at Celtic park for the Ross County game next Saturday, first game at Paradise for 28 years, my wife Sadie and I have tickets, visit the Barras then the Granite/Brazen head for a continental swallyAfter the game. Some of my old drinking mates…TIM ,Hughie Gillan, Terry, fat Danny , Beatnik, Jim Gill, John Dinnie ,Chic Burns, Rad, Gennotti, big Mary behind the bar, to name a few. Jimmy . Queensland . Australia.
I’ll look forward to seeing you and the misses, unfortunately, Tim (my old man) Terry, Jimmy Gill, Chic Burns, Big Rad have all passed on, but still have great memories of those die hard Tims, enjoy the game :)

Toys and pram springs to mind with that course of action.
I believe that eventually all will be sorted without Celtic needlessly adding anything to it. HMRC is ongoing that may then lead to titles being taken, and they are in perpetual turmoil, what more could you ask for and are an absolute shower.
Celtic have not needed to do anything except carry on being successful.
TD67,

Take care ya tyre rebel
Saw some cracking pics of the old JFCSC last night at Celtic park
Similar to the DR running their stories to unsettle Celtic players before every Celtic V (what was the name of that other Glasgow team?).
You mean Partick Thistle right? :)

DON’T WRITE OFF EMILIO’
Jimmy
Enjoy the game!
Why not pop round to a wee spot just in front of the Pools Office. Just oust outside the ground. There you’ll find a bunch of handsome and beautiful young Tims who laugh and smile as much there as they bicker on here!
For then you’ll have stumbled upon cqn corner!
Enjoy the golf ya sharks, muppets, rockets, duffers, hackers and whackers.
Don’t get it myself.
Enjoy also the après golf drinks and craic. That i do get!

‘LET’S GET INTER ‘EM,’ ORDERS RONNY
“The governing body of European football UEFA has imposed a fine of 30,000 euros (around $33,000) on FC Barcelona due its fans displaying Catalan flags in the Champions League final”.
Time something was done about uefa.
Good Morning.
In case of interest, here are some thoughts on the Scott Allan transfer saga…
https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/the-farce-awakens/
…and on the laughable way that the Record is covering the story about Kirk Broadfoot’s ban.

Have a good day!

This will be a fine test of obaf. Think Scotland’s finest will be raiding his house at 6 am?

Only 1 lion in the car today
Morning all.
Enjoy the golf day all those who are going.
HH!!
I always like to cheer my Mum up now and again,put a smile on her face.
But she’s away hard to please sometimes,and tbh I rarely give her much to smile about.
So I’m just gonna phone her and tell her what a miserable bliddy day it is here. I’ve yet to get to the pub cos my kayak got cancelled. That’ll work.
If I wanted summers like this I’d have stayed in Scotland.
PS-hope it’s set fair for the gowff.
And a wee thought on Broadfoot before I look out my wellies.
Does anyone think he said anything to McClean that he didnae say every time he played against us?
Hope there is none of these shennanigans at the Aberdour Golf today.

Wonder if UEFA will give a sizeable fine for this lot?
The Daily Record is a joke that is past its sell by date. They won’t survive and that can only be a good thing. It’s difficult when the man who makes the decisions is a right wing friend of Newco. Phill Stenographer jibe never more true. The lad from Hibs has been tapped up and the real story should be about Scottish football protecting itself from history repeating itself. Dundee United may well feel sore about the players they sold to Celtic but Celtic paid the highest price for any of those players. United bid more for the Hibs boy.
Kirk Broadfoot lol. New precedent set.
Blantyretim.
That’s ok,spent a while looking for a movie camera,Was going to take it to the golf but canny find it anywhere.I’m ready to go when you arrive, I might go and water the plants in the green house while I’m waiting on the holy goalie.

Interesting that Inter Baku, needed extra time to beat an Icelandic team in Baku last night, drawing 2 -2 at home, currently they are second behind our next opponents.
Maybe they should be fearing us more than some on here fear them?
We had the biggest aggregate win in the qualifying round.
Morning all.
Could be a better day than recently. Currently, brightish and dry, if cool.
Is there any way our team could prepare (acclimatise?) in Scotland for our next away tie? I would imagine it will be difficult to play football the way our manager expects in the heat (and humidity?) they will encounter.
parkheadcumsalford
In A word, yes.
A new shy young this posted on here at 9.45.
In his post he mentioned his state of the art development facility where I think Ronny should seek to take the bhoys to recreate the steamy conditions they may face in Baku.

Shy young thing

We’ll miss you in the Blane Valley today,away to Aberdour to wet our lips with a few..
