Kieran Tierney’s cross for Liam Scales to score Celtic’s fourth goal on Saturday encapsulates why Brendan Rodgers wanted the player back. Meeting a ball first time and sending a cross into the danger area sounds like an easy thing to do, but how many times have we seen promising moves crumble when the cross hits the first defender, clears the penalty area or goes out of play (looking at you, Daizen)?
That goal is an early indication of what we have discussed a few times recently. Celtic will pivot away from the inverted fullback system to the overlapping model. Kieran and Alistair Johnston (who is also naturally an overlap-er) will be asked to get crosses into the box.
This impacts who you need in the box (more like Adam Idah, less like Kyogo) and changes the shape of the midfield. It will be an interesting watch to see how this progresses between now and September.

“Suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths’: 26 nations call for immediate end to war in Gaza.”
But it’s not a war, is it? “War is an armed conflict between the armed forces of states.”
Israel has attacked Gaza 15 times since 1948.
This is genocide…

Get the Workers Party of Britain elected as the government in UK starting with next years Scottish elections.
WPB will pull Britain out of NATO and the Imperialism/Colonialism scam will crumble with immediate effect.
WPB are the only party in Europe who aren’t controlled by the lobby groups, Lab, Lib, Con, Snp, Green, Reform, FF, FG, SF?, are all bent and corrupted and can’t be trusted to do what they all say they’ll do then it never happens.
WPB will make a Uk alliance with China, Russia, and other BRICS countries to storm int o Gaza and bring this disaster to a halt.
Snp are controlled by the vermin.

1000% agree.
Any reference to this as war is totally wrong.
It is genocide and worse than that happening under our noses.
The question will be asked of our generation :
What did you do about it ?
Some marched
Some protested
Some wrote to MPs
Some wrote to newspapers
Some flew flags at home
Some flew flags at football grounds
Most did bugger all. In reality.
As for the labour government …… they are the biggest disgrace of all. Yet again. Sadly.

My local labour MP actually told me that once in power they would take a different and stronger view on Palestine. They have. The opposite of what I hoped for. Outlawing peaceful protesters of my old vintage was the last straw for me.
Doing this while allowing racist thugs away with violence against police and anyone else in their way in Essex shows up the coward we have runnnig the country sadly. And their police ‘enforcers’ (joke).

I hasten to add I am not a nationalist or Tory voter or Reform either.
Anyone know where Maccabi are playing their Champions League qualifiers home games?

I’m all for appropriate scrutiny of a manager’s use (or non-use) of players in the squad.
This ain’t that.
Love Frank McA to bits … at that cheeky chappie, “Mike Giggler via email” level.
Don’t think his views on modern squad management are valuable.
If the shoe was on the other foot ….
…. and Brendan opined publicly about how to do offshore sunken treasure hunting more effectively?
Would Macca be interested or offended?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
B2B
TSC Arena in Serbia
PB – cheers.
Would happily play them there.
Back to Basics / Preston Pans
Not the nicest place to visit mind you.
Neither is Hungary these days. The other Israel loving alternative.
Personally I would love Pafos to beat them in round 2 and then the Cypriots to beat Kyiv before playing us. Unlikely but plenty to like about that scenario.

Thank you my good mhan, CQN rides to the rescue again. I will give them a ‘phone tomorrow.
Thanks again.

There are many left leaning labour voters who will find themselves politically homeless next time around.
The unswerving support of the union is challenging.
Como Cup….Any idea of times of the playoff on Saturday and final on Sunday ?
This is genocide…….and all on the telly!. How sick.
i am trying to get my head around why our executive thinks it is an ok thing to play ajax during these heightened political times
their fans hate the celts

i would like to think that having a leader who uses their tax money to carry out a genocide would also be ‘challenging’ to many labour voters.

i agree.
it doesnt seem the most sensible of pre-season arrangements.
Yes… been to Amsterdam twice to see Celtic… ( honest ) …. Never again !!
It’s not new. I was in Amsterdam about 1970 when we were hammered by Cruijff & co. It was not a nice experience leaving the ground…..
Not sure the angst about playing Ajax in Como
https://comofootball.com/en/como-cup-fixtures-announced/
For whatever reason, Ajax fans do hate Celtic. I hope no Celtic supporters go to the game, too dangerous.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I forgot that it was in Como. That does indeed reduce the risk.
Gene
Yes hopefully should be fine in Como…
Thanks for the info … managed to find it.
Looks like playoff : 20.30 Saturday
Final : 20.00 Sunday..
Sevco gently reminding the hun hordes about the song book tomorrow, I’m sure the SFA will do the same soon…..no?

Super stuff!
Re Gaza
time to drop some nuclear device on Israel, that should do the trick methinks
Rumour Idah on the way out,a loan probably
Gers target signs………………….. for Derby 💨
Happy if we got our money back on Idah, but a loan?
That would not be a good look.
Idah on loan, now that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, especially at the cost we paid for him.
Ffs KingLubo…rein it in!
That’s what the ultra-zionists would wish for Gaza. Kill everyone and get rid of Hamas.
Not a solution…
Two very good,according to reports,from their own country,CHs up for grabs,one a 17 year old sensation,around,£6 millionthe other,a 6.3 player needing sold by Me Have,around,£4 million
Munteanu still for sale,manager knows nothing about the phantom bid by a phantom club,his mad chairman is reporting.
Balikwisha still sitting by his phone.
Never mind,we have been scouting players since January,and we are still very busy working away trying to sign some.

Wife put last night’s curry in the fridge, brought it out for supper

Something kinda poetic and sweet about the Govan lot losing to a town where they hanged a monkey because he looked foreign.
