1998 was an era before the tier one clubs started to harvest vast numbers of players, so by some quirk of nature, Celtic had more players represented at the World Cup that year than any other club in the world. 11 in total left the newly crowned champions to travel to France: McNamara, Boyd, McKinlay, Burley, Jackson, Donnelly, Lambert, Gould, Rieper and Weighorst.
We were delighted for the players who took part in the tournament but it had consequences when practically an entire team missed out on a close season. Legs tired in the spring of 1999.
It would be churlish for us to grudge James Forrest or Callum McGregor the chance to participate the Euros this summer. They deserve it and will surely go. David Turnbull is the one I am most keen on to stay home. David will be a crucial player for Celtic next season and I want him fit and ready for the Champions League qualifiers. Ryan Christie, in the final year of his contract, is likely to be around for at least a part of the qualification campaign but any late season tiredness is likely to someone else’s problem.

Can Bale play left back?
———————————-
Yes, actually. Played a lot of his early career at Southampton and Spurs at left-back. :)
That sub goalie wouldn’t get served in a pub, if they were open😱
Disgusting challenge – they have been told to this as they usually get away with it in Scotland.
Roofe absolutely shocked he didn’t get a penalty
Beyond reckless. Disgusting
Sub keeper is 18 and looks terrified
In Scotland, `keeper stuck the nut on Roofe`s boot.
GEEBEE1978
I knew that!
Posted tongue in cheek, but……………..would have him in a heartbeat!
Not a fan of gore, but if it were us, that challenge would on a repeated loop for a week on all networks.
Reckon we’ll never see it again.
I watched the ten minutes before the Red and thought there was little in it. Sevco are a better side than they get credit for on here .
Horrific from Roofe. It was like Harald Schumacher vs Patrick Battiston but in reverse.
The young Slavia substitute goalie looks as if he has a couple of hickies on his neck. 🤣

My friends in Celtic,
Listen to Dave Cormack ( Aberdeen) getting interviewed on you tube.
He tells us that he has had quality applications from Scotland, England , Europe, USA and beyond. This is only the first week he tells us.
Now tell me why some of us set our bar so low.?
Think outside the box, aim for the best and see what happens. We must be inundated with quality applications outwith the usual suspects.
==================================
Why do some set the bar so low?
good question😊
maybe The need for info° in todays modern media age impacts us..to much choice for us,we get lazy and impatient in our need for more info
maybe Celtic Pr in my opinion is not mature enough yet to deal with it yet,
maybe we are still reliant on msm for our news sky/beeb/loorollmeeja but are in denial about their influence on us
.ie- how disappointed we are Celtic dont react to x y or z
remember in corporate terms we have to watch what we say and as we know that may differ from us.
😊
hh
The 1st half was pretty even too J
How is the right back still playing? Are they taking the absolute piss he rules or are they just waiting til Tavpen is back from injury before he gets banned?
Just look at that

The rangers are back to the rangers us old yin’s remember from the early 60s , filled with big aggressive boot merchants . Our side is too wee and soft to combat the 6 ft 4 inch plus players the scouser filled his team with .
Michael Stewart says challenge was not malicious.
Arsehole.

I understand we’re all a bit reluctant to give credit to Sevco but during the first leg, someone on here suggested Prague were no better than Kilmarnock. That’s bordering on the bizarre.
The Patterson kid is pretty good
Ten men;half an hour to play;get an equaliser; Slavia Prague score in first minute of ET; Sevco run their socks off; knackered and dejected; play us on Sunday.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hund down to 9
Again in Scotland, play on. Anyway another one aff😂
9 men, this is what would have happened to them this season if the refs weren’t huns.
I thought Patterson had been cited by the authorities for breaching covid rules.
Mibbe naw.
Bye bye Balogun
Love it – justice
Amazing whar a difference a fair ref makes…
2:0
Yasssss
huns down to 9 men
2- 0
What a goallllllllllllllllllllllll
Pick it out. Hun bassa
Is that fireworks display again, polis watching it?
wtf are they going to do with all the fireworks now?
Now someone please break Morelos leg, or legs, disney matter.
