There are several parts of Tuesday’s performance which could be improved upon, parts which will be exposed by the rigours of Champions League football, but we looked like an experienced European team, one who could go away from home, roll with the early season uncertainties, but still have enough in the tank to win comfortably.
For the last couple of years we have watched a team mature while Neil Lennon has continued to add young blood to the squad. Fraser Forster has become an adept shot-stopper, puncher and kicker-with-both-feet. Joe Ledley has developed into a disciplined anchor in midfield while Adam Matthews, Victor Wanyama and Beram Kayal have progressed even quicker than I am sure the manager expected.
Last season’s Europa League campaign contributed significantly to the development. The team seemed to grow a few inches during the home win over Rennes, which propelled them onto the league title. A Champions League examination will present no fears but will expedite progress.
We could be on the verge of the first sustainable, successful, team development plan in 40 years, one that delivers titles, significant progress in Europe and lives within its means.

Are we not still waining on lord hodge making a decision on D&P before he will allow admin to end & liquidation to begin another part of the CHARADE.
HAIL HAIL
kik….,
last I heard someone appealed the liquidation and BDO wont be taking over until the appeal is heard.
hope I’m wrong
See all this talk by newco huns regards the prize money from last season.
This week i’ve heard both Spiers and Cosgrove agree with newbies that the oldco huns should get the money.
I ve no idea why the oldco huns havent been brought up in charges of cheating last season.
correct me if i’m wrong but didnt the oldco huns use 15 million of tax payers money to fund their extravagances on the park last season?
there’s no way they can claim that prize money. i’m surprised Motherwell havent claimed it for themselves.
Another thing. I keep hearing that idiot presenter on clyde telling callers newco huns are banned from europe.
Jesus wept, they’re not bannned, they’re simply ineligible- as a new club they dont have three years of accounts.

Sandman – you are guilty of the worse kind of lazy journalism.
You equate calls for us to strengthen the team with the folly of the Flo purchase – as if they two things are automatically the same.
The you want to shove this down your fellow Celtic supporters throats
Perhaps you should take a long hard think about things?
Neganon if your on can you email CRC at celticrollercoaster@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks

My pet hobby-horse again.
22/6/12 – Lord Hodge seeks report from D & P re potential “conflict of interest”
13/7/12 – Expiry of deadline for submission of report. News leaks that Lord Hodge is either on
holiday or about to go on holiday at that time.
8/8/12 – Lord Hodge gives judgment on David Begbie case in Court of Session. ie he is back from holiday.
22/8/12 – Two calendar months from Lord Hodge’s original request. No word on progress, no indication of any date for potential Court hearing.
Meanwhile Scotland’s most significant (and some would say most pressing) administration grinds to a halt on the whim of one senior lawman. A man who could have appointed liquidators on 22/6/12, notwithstanding any enquiry into the administration process.
So what if the fees continue to mount, and as a result creditors including local and national government departments, charities etc, get even less in return from any final distribution to creditors, the law must not be rushed.
And yet not a word of criticism or suggestion from any single quarter that this matter requires some degree of expediency.
The mindset of der hun is spectacularly stunning…..flip floppers that would give doughnut heads everywhere headaches……’nu-think’ taken to extremes. Prior to being granted dispensation, ahead of more deserving contenders, to participate in Div3 tis impending event was going to be the worst thing to happen, not only to Scottish football, but to Scottish society as a whole. Götterdammerung beckoned. We were going to enter Hunageddon and we wer all gonnae pay…..oh aye we were.
Now the orc hive-mind has ended its convocation in some hitherto unknown orange dimension and decreed that since they are now indeed a ‘diddy’ team (their thinking,not mine,btw) that,incredibly, they are the best thing to happen to Scottish football and to Scottish society as a whole, and they respect us all and have turned into kuddly Koala berrs.
Aye….right.
They’re still nasty twisted bitter cretins intent on cheating, blootering & hacking their way through life and they are sucking blood oranges and bitter lemon until they (deluded & arrogant) death march back into the spl where it will all be business as usual.
Plus, their level of mass idiocy is expanding exponentially…..along with the presstitute msm.

Thought liquidation would take place at the end of the month and BDO would step in then….surely the media will tell us what’s goin on!
Oh dear, a total FUD on now
SSB pundits confirm that if the SEVCO huns win the Scottish Cup they will not be allowed to play in Europe.
No mention of why.
Funny that.
Can you believe this current bun on the radio.

Ohits, shh, you’ll give the game away.
He wasn’t doing the 21 yo any favours either – it’s only about 2.5 times the price of the 12 yo – well it was the last time I bought a bottle in the West End filling station in Dingwall…..
You might be in trouble calling him a Weeker by the way – he’s nearer the tea-in-a-bowlie side of the county.

This sleekit ploy was evident and obvious……it has the masonic paw-print all over it.
Procrastination being the thief of time, apathy induced by delay after delay, death by inquiry : they are hoping against hope that it will all give time for Sevco Scotland to become established as the preferred establishment club…..free to continue spreading, by any means necessary, the loyalist and unionist message.
Scotland The Brave? Not really.

Cheers for that, thought that lord Hodge was looking in to D and P but that BDO would still begin liquidation on 1st September. Not sure now!
I will be quite happy if Celtic go out and sign a couple of promising youngsters that route is already working Ki.Wanyama,Izzy,Rogne,Ledley,Cooper to name a few.We dont need spend huge sums and go into debt that has already been proven.We have a good young team so another couple of promising youngsters will do for me.H.H.
If they win the Scottish cup they will NOT be allowed to play in Europe?
Who made this decision?
Who are these people?
I demand to know. The Scottish public demand to know.
What’s that?
Oh, is it UEFA? Is it?
And who are UEFA?
I demand to know…
repeat ad infinitum…

got to agree, no point in trying to sign anyone playing in the EPL, we should be trying to sign players with the potential to get to the top level, once the EPL teams are after a player the price rockets out of our range…………get in early or not at all

Don’t know if this link will work but it seems to say that the deadline for registering players in time to play in the qualifying ties not the actual group stages
“Norman Hunter was shouting to Cooper, “Kick him!” Cooper turned around and said, “You come out and kick him.
Hunter came out and tried to stick it on wee Jimmy. Wee Jimmy just waltzed round about him and nutmegged him.”
