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.

Scottish football has been declining for years. EPL is killing it as demonstrated tonight – Liverpool Reserves cruise past the purple huns. Ourselves apart it’s becoming a country of footballing pygmies.
The Midlithuanians and the Muthas are a total embarrassment. What a company for true football fans to be associated with.
Scoddish foodbaw f@nnies.

Botafego Palmeiros 1-1 – played in a 3/4 empty boring athletics stadium on a rubbish pitch.

Agree, but in fairness it is in keeping with Paul’s leader!
I think Radio Clyde is designed to drive the Celtic support mental, and any fair-minded neutral with enough knowledge of the game in Scotland.
Truly awful tonight… Mark Guidi ‘I see them as the same club, history intact’. So all business as usual at Ibrox then Mark? 140M to the taxman Mark? Liquidation looming mark? No Europe Mark?
Glibly spoken for all the hurtin Huns out there.
Daddy cannibal and son cannibal come across a lovely big blonde sunbathing. Son says to daddy. Look dad lets take her home and eat her. Dad says will we hell. We’ll take her home and eat ur maw.
Pot 4??

Not looked back through posts, how have results went still pot 4?
Dirty football in Russia. I posted in the Morning that Russian fans attacked groups of
the Turks before the game against Fenerbahce.
During the game the Russians
burn Turkey flag and
banner with portrait of Mustafa
Kemal Atatürk.
The Turks hacked official
Spartak website today and put the banner on it that says: “There
are no unpunishable people.
UEFA and FIFA forget and
forgive. We do not forget, do not
forgive.”
More than 80 hooligans arrested before anzi Mahachkala game in Europe . They were attacked by Zenit St. Petersburg hooligans .,
Zenit St. Petersburg is still racist club . Never ever black player in the squad .Club was negotiating with Yan M’Villa but the supporters said NO. Club accepted supporters decision and the transfer collapsed.
When puyol is not on the field you can give barca corners all night they have no threat without him from a high cross ball
HT BARCA 0-0 REAL
Can’t get the head around Morinho, he is a quality manager, manages quality players, yet he turns them into thugs.
Hump them Barca

I was winding you up with your daly obsession..
I agree with SffS, nonne of then good enough for Celtic..
maybe good enough for PL’s Celtic but not mine
the ref in the barca game looks like he was trained in scotland,
this half I will mostly be watching for
10 yards at freekicks
Ditto for us mhark.hh
a recent conversation shared between a couple of people i ‘know’.. 0_o
Mr 1690
Great seats for life bought for me and the kids at Ibrox. GR4. A bit young yet but seats like that wont come up in coming seasons. Grab it while you can. WATP
Aberdeen fan
What a shame, forcing a kid to go to Ibrox all their days is a fate I wouldn’t wish on anybody
Mr 1690
thats cause your a tight wee fsck*r and wouldnt spend your cash on yer bairns anyway…still better football getting played at ibrox
Aberdeen fan
That’s because I wouldn’t dream of being so cruel to my kids as to take them to there. Plus it’s sets a shocking example to them, sends out a message that’s it’s ok to cheat, just like Rangers did.
later in ‘conversation’..
Mr 1690
Your right. The past owners did cheat and had fun doing it. Now we can be debt free and by the time we’re back up we wont only be debt free we’ll be the richest in scotland by far. After seasons without without leaching off the rangers just think what state your wee club will be in by the time we’re back up…your fans wont be there, they’re shit now, what they gonna be like in a few seasons, and then we’re gonna boycot your ground and make you even more in debt. Oh yes its coming with a smile boy. Those who laugh last and all that good stuff. WATP

Re-posted from TSFM sooner rather than later I hope
Wanyama here one season and a first pick from a crowded midfield squad.
Ki three seasons and still not an instant pick so we may as well have the money.
I think it’s true to say though the Scotland pitches, weather, whatever he will be a better player in a more cultured league.
Guy comes home pashed on saturday night and climbs into the marital bed where his advances are spurned. In the morning he senses tension in the air and ponders what offence he might have commited
He hears the wife frying the breakfast and thinks it maybe wasnt that bad. She puts a plate in front of him with square slice egg tattie scone bacon and a fried sock on it.
Our hero asks why the sock, to which she replies “you asked for it”
When? says he.
She says “you came to bed last night, woke me up and said i want you to cook my sock”
