Brendan Rodgers will start Celtic’s Champions League trail against Flora Tallin, from Estonia, or Lincoln Red Imps, from Gibraltar, in the tournament’s second qualifying round.
Flora, who are seeded against Lincoln Red Imps, are midseason, but went out in the first qualifying round a year ago to Rabotnicki, from Macedonia (who reached the play-off round before losing narrowly to Russians, Rubin Kazan).
Red Imps won the big (cough) Iberian derby last year when they eliminated Santa Coloma from Andorra, before crashing to Erik Sviatchenko’s Midtjylland.
Neither are the British Isles-based tie Brendan Rodgers would have preferred, travelling arrangements will cost an extra day’s training, but there were far more arduous opponents in the draw.
Games take place on 12/13th July and 19/20th July. The away tie is scheduled first – but you know the drill, don’t book flights until Uefa have ratified match arrangements.

Anyway…….
a wee suggestion of a sort of,
rebuilding type of signing for
Brendan to – maybe – look at.
Stevie May.
Chris Sutton disappeared at
Chelsea….then MO’N took
control.
Could Brendan restore – Stevie May ?

If we leave the EU, all non-British players will require a work permit to play in Britain.
David Beckam tells us to remain in Europe….from the comfort of his LA mansion on the hill
Being a fisherman I,m obviously voting out(unless Brendan tells me different).My only concern is that our erstwhile party leaders seem terrified of the prospect of having to lead their country out with the EU.
In saying that,can you imagine the reposturing and “I didn’t,t really mean that”on Friday if the vote is to leave?

Assuming Remain win, will UKIP and the rest of them demand a second referendum?
And what will the nats have to say about it?

Of course deals will be done. The EPL will still be the dream for the vast majority of footballers.
It doesn’t seem to impact negatively for the likes of Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine, Serbia etc .
Bada Bing is correct to point out that David Beckham chooses to spend the vast majority of his time outwith the EU.
I do not know what way this once in a generation referendum will go , but what I can see is that the more privileged including university educated will generally vote to remain ,whereas the blue collar working class may have a different view.
Of course most big business and the banks want to remain, but since when have they been on the side of the disenfranchised working class.

ERNIE LYNCH on 21ST JUNE 2016 10:12 AM
I don’t think the SNP have demanded a second referendum under any circumstances. I think they’ve said a Leave vote would constitute a material change in circumstances where it might be looked at but crucially they’ve said it would need to be backed by public opinion. If that’s not with them, it wouldn’t happen.
Frankly I think it’s unlikely to happen anyway, and a lot of that rhetoric is to keep folk onside and that might start drifting off to eg RISE.
Anyway, it’s moot as Remain is looking most likely to win now anyway.
A wee signing or two in the next week or so would be most welcome beginning to think we are doing our usual mistake of not being prepared for the qualifiers.
!! BADA BING !!.
Mate who does big bucks currency conversion in ” The City ” says the amount of Sterling packed up and ready to go ( if need be) is astounding .
He says Brexit will see the blackest of Black Fridays…He says he wouldn’t rule out parity by Monday .
Beckham will have to learn how to spell ‘X’ before he can vote.

Back in the seventies, you could sit the eleven plus in the penultimate year of primary school, and if you did well enough could head for Secondary school that same year.
That meant some could complete Highers by the age of 16, and go from Fifth year straight to University if they had the necessary grades.
Might have changed since then, but you didn’t have to be at least 17 back then.
Not that that changes your point re age of consent in this case, but true nevertheless.

“…the more privileged including university educated…” – you mean like Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage?
Mibbe if we Leave and some of those big businesses relocate we can all get the job of our dreams building tractors for JCB?
The cast majority of bank/financial services workers are working in branches/offices etc. BTW. Ordinary people doing regular jobs – not disenfranchised (since they vote) but certainly workers who need their jobs.

Simplest thing since time began is a trade between two people or two countries.
It only becomes complicated when others want a piece of the action.
Since we hold the Aces(the fish and the territory)surely we can renegotiate better deals than we have at present.

That goes for me too,Bobby.
SoT- watching news channels here,who probably have agendas, a poll last week had Leave 7 points ahead,difficult to gauge any real info. As Twists said,the bookies might be the best guide HH

Even in the 90s that was possible. I was 17 and 1 week when I started at Glasgow. There was a few folk I knew of younger than me.
However, the girl in question was 19, which Auld Tam could have found out if he’d spent 10s on google like I did. She was in fact coerced into kissing Mr Freud, which in my book is a clear sexual assault. Why the news inferred it was an underage incident is anybody’s guess.

The Hand of God –
The transfer window doesn’t open until 1st July. I’m sure Brendan has been working away in the background on possible signings. Just because Celtic aren’t discussing targets with the media doesn’t mean nothing is happening.
Mon the fish…..

If we BrExit it will REMAIN to be seen if we can Fixit.

There are “interested parties” on both sides whose only interest is self-interest.
From that standpoint,it’s very confusing!
If the Tory press are in favour of something,that’s usually a good reason,for me at least,to be against it.
But Big Business is in favour of Remain,which would usually also have me voting the other way.
So,I’ve decided. I know which way I’ll be voting anyway,but…
Whoever wins,it won’t be the likes of you and me.

!!BADA BING!! on 21ST JUNE 2016 10:30 AM
It’s only online polls that have ever put Leave that far ahead, and they’re notoriously unreliable. It was reliance on them that gave Labour such an optimistic forecast for the last GE.
Phone polls have almost always backed remain, as did correctly weighted polls. They are both now swinging towards a reasonable Remain win.
Can’t be complacent though. Everybody needs to get to the polling booth.

I really don’t think it’s going to be that straightforward.
I suggest you watch this.

Cheers Bobby.
My question to Ernie was a bit rhetorical. In the 2015 General Election :
SNP got 1,454,436 votes (4.7%).
UKIP got 3,881,099 votes (12.7%).
So which party can make a better argument to request a 2nd referendum?
#DevilsAdvocateCSC
Thunder Road (re midfield)
Well we’re certainly not lacking options there :-)
I think Brendan tried a few different systems at Liverpool. Definitely had the diamond for a while.
Not a huge fan myself as it requires the full-backs to get forward a lot to give width. If you have a really good defensive midfielder this is less of a problem.
Think a 4-3-3 would be worth a try.
Would like to see McGregor get a good run of games in the middle. He keeps the ball moving and can pick a pass. Always good for a goal too. Armstrong maybe lacking a bit of confidence, but hopefully can get it back.

I didn’t place an advert for Remain, I posted a YouTube clip for information purposes,
Correct me if I am wrong, you do not live in the UK?
I am enfranchised to vote in the referendum and in UK elections. I have registered my vote as I see fit for the future of the country that I consider to be my home, Scotland.
As such I feel that I have the right to comment on the future of my country and object to ‘outsiders’ be it Barack Obama or ex-pats who are permanently domiciled elsewhere giving their opinion on how we should vote.
I also took your exception to your xenophobic comment that was directed towards my post of the video. As did, I believe, Starry Plough.

Naughty naughty Natknow!
Hardly a like-for-like comparison.
Not that the word like has any place in a post from me about either party…
BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 21ST JUNE 2016 10:33 AM.
You are absolutely correct bud. I still don’t know which is the more preferable option. I can see mega pros and cons from both sides.
But I wonder who represents the core labour working class voters, especially in the north of England. ?
