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.

If a Welsh or Scottish or Six County athlete wins a gold medal at the Olympics which anthem is played?
Magnificentseven
“Just branding him a bit thick”
As millions worldwide listened on, and completely out of any context.
Arrogant and unprofessional.
You think he went up to him and repeated it at the media conference afterwards?
BT
Am watching the games on ESPN, decent pundits, even Craig Burley has been bareable, as you say far superior coverage.

MWD,
I was back home a couple of weeks ago and spent all day boozing and chatting to an ex workmate of yer good self.Mark D.?
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WALES!!!!!
Ramsey been outstanding. Well done Wales.
No a bad goal for Bale there.
Well done the Welsh.
Ernie lynch
Any insights given on the ex luj member for labour livingston?
Any insights into the internecine/sectarian shite that riddles north and south lanarkshire, the lothians?
Has jezza always been pro eu? Or is he a late convert?
Nowt worse than watching fake socialists or should that be NEW all improved backed the war criminal socialists with no power and no memory recall of their errors whilst said war criminal and his dyscalcic successor fuct the country into debt?
If the 6C athlete is on team Ireland as most are – Amhrán na bhFiann will be played.
Unpredictable country, Russia. Russia team is going back to Moscow, but team “supporters” stay in France (in prison). I’m pretty sure Putin would swap it if he could.

BIGJOCK67 formerly of these pages. Great guy. Not spoken much to Mark for a long time since his role was sold out to another company and he moved offices.

Really!! you think that’s what commentators should do? Beats Butch with his “fun to be around” platitudes about every golfer on tour, we will need to disagree on this one, I quite like a bit of honesty.
The Welsh sing a Welsh language version of the English national anthem.
The first line is…..

MWD,
As you say,an absolute gentleman.
Ex Govan man,now a Bankie..;-)
Take care D.
Magnificentseven
As do I , in the proper context.
The remark was uncalled for, as I said in my original post.
So , you liking honesty, would you have been as relaxed about a Celtic player being described as such during a game, apropos of nothing?
Did Murray ever say, “Poor approach by Tiger, although he’s not the most faithful dog in the pound” ?

Come back when you’re sober.
“What a putt by Jimenez!
Ugly bastard, right enough!”.
Wales humiliating Russia.
MOONBEAMS…
Fair play to you, the resolutioners have done a grand job, let us hope it comes to fruition.
They have done their best against a Masonic laden society. HH

Forgot he was a Govan Bhoy. Was he a wine alley lad?
Hope you are well buddy and the Free Derry state is treating you well.

Slovakia are one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen, can’t for the life of me understand why England with their huge wealth of striking talent and super fit wonderful midfield players and solid as a rock defenders can’t subdue them???
Confused Colin Catford…
Welsh bhoys ripping into huns :O)

You take things way too seriously, I would have been happy with the Woods remark :-) It’s just no big deal in my opinion
Well done Wales :-) Top of the group
What a wonderful performance from Wales. Russkies given a football lesson. They are aff oot!
Taking ages to log on to CQNs HELP
Welsh anthem is magnificent. They were up for it tonight. Well done Joe Ledley the warrior!
Well that’s 2 hours of my life I won’t get back.
Jude
I hope you get the help ye need
Slovakia were lucky to get none. But likely to progress which was clearly their game plan from about the 5th minute.
Ernie
Thank for your unionist reply
I take that as no comment to make on
The ex labour and unionist mp for livingston
Nowt to say on the current internecine/sectarian shite that is going on right now in your labour and unionist party.
Its ok being a unionist Ernie, just have the balls to be up front.
No insights given into sectarian shite within your own party but quote a leader of snp from the 2os
I wonder what they were saying in the lodge stroghold of lanarkshire.ayrshie and lothians in 1920?
You keep cuttin and pastin your one sided pash.the lack of memory is akin to those at the top of unionist goings on at ibrox
No introspection its what fails labour.always.and no amount of marketing (new or old) will change that.
CarryoncuttinNpastinCsc
Well I am satisfied with those results.
Well done to Wales. A great story.
Slovakia have done the job they wanted and are likely to go through probably to play Spain. They’ve done well for a small nation but they won’t go further than the next round.
Hope Iceland and Portugal both win meaning England get Portugal then we will see what they are really made of. Not tested in this group but not good enough to do anything of note with the possession they had.
Slovakia are a very limited team. I have told people many times over here and they just don’t get it. Hamsik aside they are more than ordinary.
No striker.
Ageing defenders
Wingers who flatter to deceive.
Jude,
It’s the site not your laptop.
I downloaded Firefox and in settings disabled Java script. I use Firefox only for this blog.
Try that maybe.
Hail Hail

Well I don’t suppose it will help, but the Wales game was a cracker.
MWD,
Not sure where in Govan he’s from.
An absolute gem of a lad and great company.
All good here mate.
A fabulous night last night in the brilliant company of Belfast,Tyrone and Derry men and women.
Tremendous stuff.
STARRY….
A bit harsh there, Slovakia new what they had to do, whilst giving me three points…only two behind the hun now. :)))
What has happened to the traditional centre forward?
I know teams play differing tactics that can dilute the need for an outright striker, but ultimately you don’t win games if you don’t score.
I would like to see BR train and nurture our own, rather than pay inflated prices for non scoring prima donnas

Clogher Celt,
Up early here in Darwin, Thanks for your response earlier. Dundalk were indeed extremely unlucky over the two legs. Enjoyed reading the match reports but I hope I never feel the way I did on that morning in Skerries ever again.
