I was a bit annoyed at BT’s halftime analysis which suggested Celtic were more than fortunate to be level at that stage. Salzburg had just enjoyed their best 15 minute period of the game, but, from beginning to end, Celtic’s performance was a textbook lesson on how to play away from home in Europe. We took our chances and drew our defensive line well in front of our box. This is how it’s done.
Were you as comfortable as I was during the final minutes last night?
Having watched the performance against Aberdeen on Saturday, when we bossed the game but were penned back when, with two debutants and a returning Scott Brown in the team, the legs faded in the last 30 minutes, I expected the same to happen last night.
Instead, Scott’s goal arrived on 60 minutes, which infused Celtic legs with adrenalin. This was the crucial moment of the game. We conceded that fabulous goal from Soriano during the final 30 minutes, but this was also our best period of the game. Wakaso (who is a player, b.t.w.) ran himself into the ground – literally. Brown, Johansen, Izaguirre and Ambrose all covered enormous areas of the pitch.
Instead of going through turmoil in the closing stages, we saw Salzburg drop deep, acknowledging the clear danger they could concede for a third time.
The one obvious question is, how did we pick Craig Gordon up for free?
Brand Britain
Brand Britain is damaged. Last night’s vote was a high water mark for independence, so far, but the demographic breakdown suggests support for change is strongest among the young. If the three major UK parties have any intention of maintaining the status quo they need to indulge in considerable Nation Building.
The football business in Britain is in the hands of two closed-shop cartels, one in England and Wales [controlled by the affluent], and one in Scotland [controlled by the unambitious]. This arrangement has disenfranchised Scottish football and drains our economy of tens of millions of pounds per year. It is a clear manifestation of second class status for Scotland and our economy, which is unacceptable for anyone who considers the UK to be one nation.
Politicians with an interest in pushing the buttons of the people, should use this time to call this arrangement out for what it is.

Celtic only 13/8 minus 2 goals. With skybet. No odds from that bookie.
Is Forrest fit?
JJ
BT hope your on the road to recovery comrade
16 Roads had the privilege of the company of some of your fellow citizens at a 50th birthday party in Rutherglen last night, they remain an inspiration, reading back on some of the nonsense written by one (or more) poster on here in the past day or so I’d have paid good money to hear him trying to defend his position re the butchers apron, each to their own I suppose.
TBJ
I hear you mate but get back posting.

Swedish striker John Guidetti returns to the squad – he was not registered in time for the group stage following his loan move from Manchester City – but Charlie Mulgrew (knee), James Forrest (hamstring), Mikael Lustig (groin) and Adam Matthews (calf) remain out.
………..from STV
180 votes ahead now. Good fun, this!
NL & M
Disappointed but thank you.
I think Forrest is just after Broonie in the Importance to Celtic Stakes.

4-0 today
Stefan and Wakaso, 2 each
And saltires on show please

Morning all. Clear blue sky down here today. Looks like a great day for the football.
I was very disappointed with a discussion on the Radio 4 Sunday programme earlier. A CoS minister and Archbishop Cushley were being asked about the Referendum. The BBC man mentioned the goings on in George Square as being sectarian. The minister, who was a Yes voter, immediately,denied this. His grounds being that he had ministered in Coatbridge and so he knew about sectarianism. There in the one sentence captures Scotland’s enduring problem: a mindset that takes for granted that sectarianism is caused by Catholicism. Until the CoS owns that it played a large part in the creation of sectarianism in Scotland and the SNP also acknowledges that most of its founders shared the mindset and too many are still in thrall to them, Scotland will not move forward.

Never mind that, when’s your next holiday?!
Tuneless and Clueless .
The Rubber Room Man .
Indeed ! .
The likes of Radio Morocco offer one more perspective to consider. . Helps prevent coming to a conclusion based on personal bias, ignorance and paranoia .
Evidently , you are a Radio Gaga man.

Efe Denayer van Djik Izaguirre
Brown McGregor Johansen Wakaso
Sekovic Guidetti
Not necessarily my choice but I think this could well be Ronny`s selection. Possibly Commons instead of one of the front two. Regardless, I am looking forward to the game. What, with Murrayfield, away games and personal injury, I feel I have hardly seen Celtic this season!

The Coatbridge minister will, indeed, know all about sectarianism ……. we will have witnessed it against Coatbridge catholics for decades ……
HT
There are two booked!
Away again for festive period and a cheeky wee week in Feb to plan the 2015 calendar… Or so I’m told
St Alphonsus today for Markys grand daughters Baptism, emotional day, I’m sure he’ll be looking down with that grin of his, still sorely missed by many.
Someone was hinting on here about something happening in George Sq on Friday night that was being, either covered up or sat on.
Lots of questions on Facebook apparently about 2 people being stabbed.
I read that our manager would like to meet the huns in a cup competition, to borrow a phrase from the better together camp thanks but no thanks.I don’t ever want to us near that scum.ktf.

I wasn’t aware he was able to ‘cross over’……..
Che
Bloody Judith Chalmers you are!! :-)
10:30 at Sacred Heart, Cumbernauld for me. I’ll light a candle after Mass for Marky, I’m sure he’ll be looking down with immense pride mate.
I really hope you all have a great day.

You may be even more disappointed to see Broonie rested today.
