The long road to fitness started in Austria last night as Celtic gave an outing to 19 players against Wiener Viktoria. This time of year always provides an interesting angle on the young talent waiting to breakthrough, often to be overlooked until the following year’s preseason tour.
Last night 19-year-olds Johnny Kenny, who joined in January from Sligo Rovers, and Bosan Lawal, who joined a year ago from the Watford youth setup, did most to pique interest. Let’s hope Kenny can fight off the fierce competition from Albian Ajeti for the third striker spot. Having only just turned 17, Rocco Vata seems worth keeping tabs on.
Getting to the point in their career that they are making a Celtic debut is a huge achievement for Kenny, Lawal, Vata and Matthew Anderson, the 18-year-old full back who played last night. The fallout rate of signed youth players before this point must be close to 99%.
The challenge ahead, to become a Celtic regular, remains daunting. It is as much a challenge for the coaches as the players.

Sipsini,
Sincere condelences on your Dad passing, I know Arthur is ready to go, he defies logic.
I’m sure He is holding on for the Celts to do Something really Special…… and if that happens, I’d want my Dad there before me, Aidan would be the exact same.
Jibber jabberin’ about Concerts in Work this week.
Dad was born 07/07/2041
Peter Goldie Snr perhaps didnae fancy me as a fitba player. I was fighting Everyone and Anyone in the School.
I got hauled up because I defended the territory where we could play 5v5 fitba (squeezed pitch) between St Pats and Notre Dame.
We Played there Every Lunch Time and just because they were 2 years older they couldnae play there willy Nilly.
I’ve never been an office Worker but being deaf in that environment is Hard as they all talk quietly, I’m now an Office Worker.
I Bought a Hearing Aid but it just ampifilied the Office’s Air Con.

Hello again all you young rebels
Don’t post much nowadays, just a lurker, think it’s obvious why.
But that post from DRAMBOWIECELT was very emotional, and it
really shows the compassion that only the CQN community can
give.
While I’m here belated condolences to my old mucked SIPSINI
on his loss.
H.H. Mick
That should be mucker, maybe pal would be better.

Good morning from an overcast North Saffs.

I will tinker with the Tablet over the weekend ( OOOH Missus), and if I cant solve the issue, I will take it to a PC Shop etc.

Hoopy Friday to all, looking forward to a Saturday kick off, football is back….well almost…..

DRAMBOWIE CELT, lovely post of yours last night on the read-back. I know what you mean about your grand kids, each one special. I have two boys, neither gives a toss about football. Now, my two girls? Fitba daft and the elder is now playing for Falkirk.
But each is so special.
Anyway, crap start to my day, heading over to Paisley for the funeral of a mighty Tim taken far too early.
Big Jack RIP.

Powerful Post mate. I was brought up by my Grand Parents as my Mother left my DA and Me. My DA then got called up for National Service in Egypt ( around 1957 ?), so i was left with my Grand Parents, and I had the BEST upbringing ANY Child could ever ask for !
Tell wee INDIE, that I am fine and I hope she is enjoying her holiday very much.
Cheers mate and HH.
Thanks to ALL for the Computer/Tablet advice yesterday.
I will have a go today at solving some of the issues on my tablet.
I am also heart broken about Boris resigning….NOT !
Bye Bye Boris….CHUMP !
Can HE STILL be done for breaking the ” MINISTREL CODE” by LYING in Parliament in the past ?
He should be in the Jail with that other Boris.
HH.
Boris and Boris could become Lovers……

I use Ublock origin with chrome. Such a good extension, especially if you watch the odd link or two…..

Over the last few weeks I have noticed an extremely aggressive brand of advertising. Yes we can work around it, but it is worth mentioning.
Cheers and HH.

I don’t know if breaking the Ministrel Code is as black and white as it may seem ;)
