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.

They’ll play the footballer out of him, he won’t be the same player at the Huns, we have players better than him at the club who can’t get a look in, Dylan McG and Tom rogic to name 2 IMO hh
In Turkey just now, mad hot

If they don’t go up this season they won’t need to liquidate. They’ll implode.

================================
Spot on, Young Henderson should be featuring regularly,as for Allan dont make me laugh,
he falls into the true blue category and should be nowhere near us.

Agent Green ….. I just saw your post …. ‘did I say that? No! couldn’t have? but I just read back and, to my horror, you are right! I did! The shame!!!!
mea culpa mea maxima culpa …. I better get to confession … pater peccavi ignolce ….
TT … I, too, like strikers who score, but I think he will score a good few goals this season, plus he will make a few for others …. have faith young padawan … I sense the fhorce is strong in that one!
Leftclick … ha! didn’t think about that! dont tell anyone else, and you and I can split that ticket!
Even if allen signs for the huns, nothing has changed..They still have not One, not One player who would get in Our Team..”Im happy, hope Youre Happy too”©David Bowie..

Good to see the ball boys wearing Celtic tops in the Botoani v Legia Warsaw game tonight.
LOL
Just noticed an interesting friendly result NY Red Bulls 4 Chelski 2. Chelski 62% possession to RB’s 38% which as I always say possession means nothing if you don’t do anything with it. Full strength Chelski team BTW.
Allan is not Pirlo so who cares if he wants to go to the reincarnation of the team he supported as a boy.
How good is he?
Not good enough to lead his team past a bunch of diddies who got humped 6-1 by a poor Motherwell outfit.
Yes he looked a cut above most of the division one opponents last year but thats all.
To put into perspective he was so good in England his team released him for free incurring a huge loss.
In Henderson and Rogic plus a number of very good youngsters in our youth system who all look better than him.

Thehuns in work were a bit tetchy with me today when I asked them their opinion on lying kings interview… “Awe it’s all about the Rangers with you” fgs, I was only asking as I was concerned.
It wasn’t that long ago they text me photos of their champagne party to celebrate him supposedly ousting big Michael. Whaaa
Lefty
Will do sir
Good evening friends.

Yep. Football is part of the subject matter. Celtic is the other part for me.
An opinion on a specific football and Celtic scenario from last night’s game is absolutely fine by me.
Mainly of course, because I gave one earlier. :o)
One man’s micro-analysis is another man’s opinion…in my opinion.
Keep well.
Steven McLean to referee Celtic v Rennes
” Jim White’s my name,
guff’s my game!”
Choreographed, stage-managed vacuous hunguffery at a whole new Level.
Scott Allan = 5 aside player………..
Danny Wilson aka Gary Clark…… We cannae sign everybody from Dundee!
Nadir Ciftci……………….No sure at all. Here’s hoping……….Best wishes!
Griff = Legend in the making, of that I am certain. Was not keen on him (and his baggage) to start with but that says more about my (at times narrow and prejudicial) mindset than his for sure.
Do us and your family proud wee man! It’s just brilliant how early he sights the target………..
Regards & Hail Hail

Sipsini, they’re always a bit tetchy, when we were linked with Wilson he was p*** when he signed for them I asked if he was same player got grunted at lol
Theres no way on this earth a true Sevconian from Castlemilk will EVER SELL his collection of Eldorado for anything :)
Sevco have got the big guns out for the Hibs game – Craig Thompson reffing!

Where did you get the info re money Huns spent …seems quite a lot for them
They will have to pay a training fee to Hearts for Holt
Add the Allan money ….it’s much more than I thought they’d spend
0-0 HT Sheep.
Scott Allan can be a cracking wee player when he decides to turn up, far too inconsistent and a bottler of big occasions. Big Peter should up the ante by £100 at a time then pull out 30secs before the transfer window closes ;-). Feckin those hun/zombies at every opportunity would be my modus operandi. As pointed out many a time on this site same flies different shite.
Basel are one of the teams we might face in the next round if we get through the Azerbaijan test. They beat Liverpool and narrowly lost to Real Madrid at home in last year’s CL. Don’t shoot the messenger (or call him a hun).
Hail Hail.
SOAL
Brilliant how we reward that cheating bastard…..
Disgraceful
West Ham 1 goal and 1 man down in Malta.
Allan….championship player
Not good enough for the SPL champions
BMCUWP,
Mailed you back mate, cheers for the info re: Dublin, ffs don’t post that mail on here ;)

It’s magic ripping the p**h out off thems, I’ve more or less been sent to purgatory by them since administration, not that they would know the meaning of that…their words are more along the line of “ignore the Fenian b*****d”.
Sometimes I play good cop/bad cop just to keep them on their toes :)
Scott Allan ?? Think Jim Melrose………
As BT pointed out earlier we have a better young player, Liam Henderson, needing a chance to develop before anything..
Murdochauldandhay…Laughed at that man..

I think both Celtic and Basel are seeded for the play-off round.
According to Bert Kassie`s website we would face one of BATE Borisov, APOEL Nicosia, Dinamo Zagreb, Astana of Kazakhstan(conquerors of Maribor) or Milsani Orhei of Moldova (knocked out Ludogorets).

Thanks for the info on the earlier “awe naw” about Paul.
Not a twitterer or FBooker is my only excuse. :o)

I couldn’t agree more with you. If that had been LG and a Celtic goal…but
I confess to having a different mindset when Celtic concede goals than when they score them. I am just biased. I see grace, talent and beauty when we score that I don’t see with other teams. When we concede I look at it differently and want to turn my negative into a positive.
BTW are you going to Baku for the return leg…you must be nearly there anyway :o)
Understand that Qarabag are a sugar daddy side after some big investment.

We can’t meet Basel in qualifying round, we are both seeded.
