Salzburg got back to winning ways on Sunday after losing 4-1 away to third-placed Rheindorf Altach immediately before the international break. The stats from that game are interesting. Salzburg enjoyed 60% possession but Rheindorf forced 66% more chances by playing on the break, scoring twice in the closing 10 minutes as Salzburg pushed for an equaliser.
A point on Thursday would be an acceptable result for Salzburg so they could be caught between trying to defend and playing their normal game. Either way it’s likely they will hold possession for long periods.
No team is completely dependent on one player but this truism is probably tested more by Salzburg and their talismanic striker, Jonathan Soriano, who has scored 26 times in 27 outings this season. Consider for a moment if we had such a prodigious striker………..
Salzburg coach Adolf Hutter must decide how far tp change his usual game plan. Salzburg’s entire strategy is to attack. They have scored 50 league goals already this season, twice as many as any other team, while their goals against record is within a handful of the majority of teams in the league.
My preference would be to tempt them out, have them fall between the two stools of playing their natural offensive game and the more cautious approach they may be tempted to play away in Europe. One note of caution, the Ajax team who beat Celtic comfortably in Amsterdam last season were shredded 0-3 by a counter-attacking Salzburg in the same venue a few months later.
Ajax failed to box clever, we can be smarter. Stop Soriano, closed-down space at the back and play on the counter.

Dont think anything the idiot Regan said is so bad.As much as we detest them,they do bring money to the game.Away crowds,as we do.They do make our league more attractive to sponsors,because they are in it with us.He has a job to do and the easier it is for him ,the better.
He has said nothing in support of them,in fact he has set himself up for a knockdown,because MA does not need to even acknowledge him.
We can all see the big picture,seems Regan cannot.They are doomed.

Thanks
Kind out in the sticks a bit and to cold to go stoating about and getting lost. There is an O’learys sports bar/american diner type thing not far and I will ask in there but I doubt it. I was here last year in a different O’learys in July when we played Helsingborg?? I think it was only on then because it was a Swedish team.

I’m not into horses. So I thought you meant running! So had a vision of you lacing up the auld gutties and doing a 118 118 routine with Jobo.
And was thinking, ‘shouldn’t it be no bikes or cartilage in a shroud.
Then the penny dropped. Finally.

Is the oldco FFin’ solvent?
“Heard that the oldco is now in profit and the money is going to be split amongst creditors including debenture holders etc. Anyone else know anything?” [Who cares, Sammy? It was only the company that ran the club.]
—–
“Think the letter last week said oldcos debts stood at 160m , including BTC and Ticketus with around 26m in the creditors pot
So no the oldco isnt 2m in credit”
——
“I just get angrier and angrier about everything that has unjustly been visited upon us.
Absolutely sickening. My desire for vengeance is now bordering on bloodlust”
——
“If HMRC lose their 3rd appeal, could liquidation theoretically be reversed and, if so, what does that do re the assets e.g. Ibrox and Murray park?”
——
“I thought that the Ticketus debt was Whyte’s?
Of course it should be absolutely.
There is no question of that. [Hello again, Sleekit.]
However, as Ticketus have pursued Whyte quite rightly through the courts for this money, how can the debt also belong to another party?
As for the BTC, this has been won twice.
It amazes me that no one in a court has looked at the behaviour of HMRC in this entire debacle and decided that their action was both hostile and malicious towards a singular company?
One wonders with their apparent vigour in this matter how HMRC ever allowed companies like Amazon, Vodophone etc to slip under their scrutiny regarding sums that would dwarf the Oldo’s by such monumental amounts, that it would send the likes of such paragon’s of British fiscal introspection such as Tom English into a total meltdown.
Although I suspect Tom doesn’t really care about them, do you, yah…… fenian ……
Hey, RC’s in public life would never seek to do the Protestant supported iconic bastion of Unionism called Rangers down by misusing their public office and powers.
Would they Mr Delaney?
Would they Mr English?
Would they Mr Reid?
Would they Mr Regan?
Would they Mr (RC compliance officer…change name as appropriate, but it will always be a fenian in the chair.)?
Would they Glasgow Civic Council?
Would they?’
——
“… it is good that the alignment of those particular stars are back in our favour.
None of this is easily discernible, but merely keeping a straight and square Protestant eye on the level of developments is difficult in a nation now crooked by so much misinformation from the sons of Rome.
The occasional compass bearing is a needs must.”

So is BRTH basically now Santa?

Please dont let Robbie Neilson anywhere near the huns.He is a very good manager.
His comments about”Leaving their legs in too long”was a tongue in cheek remark.
Very clever boy,as Ann Budge told us on Saturday.
Does the Astra – Zagreb match kick off at the same time as us, please?
Sorry if been asked already.
Not a great fan of the honours system though it does allow some great humble people to be recognised. Along with anyone who’s given a cheque of £1m+ to the day’s government.
Would however love to see Super Ally become Sir Ally come the new year.
For services to football? Perhaps not. Comedy perhaps?
A knighthood for Agent Whyte and his appointment as head of Ireland’s MI6 would also be in order.

The mullet is destined for the Sevco job. I think Neilson will stay at Hearts. In any case it is early days for Neilson. He is doing very well but he is only doing what any full time team should be doing at that level with decent resources.
Big test for him at home on Sunday against the top team in the country.

Big couple of games coming up. Progression in the 2 Cups vital for our season.

!!Bada Bing!!
Thanks!
Dont see anything from KJ today to back up the tweet that the huns are to have an AGM on 22nd Dec.Some hack in the Times with a few lines about it,but think he is only running with Jacksons tweet.I am sure it would have been main news,especially for our Keith.
They just don’t do irony on the old Bears Den or are just thick…how about this one in a thread on the Reagan interview.

Scottish Football now there’s a f***ing Laugh.
I wouldn’t give a flying f*** if it dies.
As long as my Club survive.
They can all collapse as far as I’m concerned.
3,500 at the Club who are second at the weekend.

When last I looked Scottish football was fine and Rangers died in 2012.
Now,
remember when you were a kid, and you couldnt wait for xams, because you got something that you have been thinking about all year,and its a classic ……………
the Broons or Oor Wullie.
So ……………………………………..
where is CQN Annual 3 ?
Ive got family members waiting on their only present.
? ? ? ?
LiviBhoy,
Yep,the “Mullet”can have it for me.I like Neilson.Could turn out to be a cracker.
If we play well on Sunday,I think we will be far too strong,and savvy for Hearts kids.No Euro hangover though.My only concern.
BRTH
If you are delivering my book and cant’t get it through the letter box, I should be home about 5ish.
TIA.

Guidetti will be well rested and well up for it. He can put a few quid on his weekly wage by every goal he scores.
I think we will be OK but we can;t be sloppy as their tails are up. They are used to winning. First goal could be important.

jimmci,
Again,it is the sheer stupidity.They are the most cretinous fans in the world.
LiviBhoy,
Agree JG.I dont like picking line ups,but for this game,we should play Griffiths up front with him,and Forrest wide.Griffiths would be up for it,as we know.
Its a big few days as Corkcelt says.Two cup runs at stake.
Any1 recommened any good documentaries ?
Pretty open to all topics
Saint Stivs
CQN Annual 3 will be out soon. It goes to the printers on Friday so we will start taking orders over the weekend and it will be posted out or delivered by BRTH and his Old Deers (the ones he finds in Clatty Pats) during December…
proudbhoy not sure if you’re looking for an individual programme or a box-set. If it’ a box-set, then The Civil War by Ken Burns is very good.

I recently watched Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I thought it would be dull but found it pretty good.
Pretty sure it is on Netflix if you have it…

Tommy Gemmell is reported as being ill – Scotsman/BBC Scotland web site:
11:07: Hoops hero in hospital The Scotsman .@celticfc legend Tommy Gemmell is recovering in hospital after he collapsed at home http://bit.ly/1xT0gCo
I watched “The Lions of Crocodile Creek” last night.
It was brilliant!
Another lamentable night for Ajax.
One can only hope that their lunatic element never get their hands on Mr Bosman, the man who turned them into European mediocrity.

Tommy had a bad fall at his home. He has fallen over quite a few times in recent months – he just seems to have lost the strength in his legs. It is heartbreaking stuff.
The emergency services should perhaps concentrate on doing the job they are paid to do rather than running to the gutter press…
Last time I was in Lanzarote(2 years ago) the Ha’Penny bar was closed every day but did open for the Celtic games, and got good crowds too. Guy who used to sign with Athenry sang a few tunes too.
Not sure if this is still the arrangement or if its closed indefinitely.

Captain Beefheart
Every player that gets a move via the Bosman rule at the very least should send that man a £1k cheque in the post. Pretty much ruined his career that court case.
