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.

goodbye hun scum
The difference a honest ref can make to a game with this mob
Apart from winning the quad treble, this is the highlight of the season so far

Another ‘ coming together ‘
Uefa don’t recognise the continuity myth.
There’s gotta be a rule against that halfway line banner?
Christ think about the fines they throw out for stadia, bib colours, strips, press boxes, what about a big, huge lie about the status off the club?
Fair impartial referee and Huns out.
Hopefully they are knackered for Sunday
D :)
See when sumbdy says but they were just much, much better than us…………………..
let’s remember how much assistance they had from bent crafty refs…………….
Only team in England or Scotland without a domestic red card. Yet put on a proper ref, and they have 2 in 30 minutes.
This is better than my 9:29pm wish list.
Team that loses £20m a year loses European tie.
Dinamo zagreb may be winning on the pitch but there are existential problems at the club.
High levels of debt. Criminal conduct which has lead to the owner being jailed for nearly 5 years.

Luca Modric is also implicated in misappropriation of millions of euros in their transfer dealings
The Maksimir stadium was badly damaged in the earthquake last year and much of it cannot be used.
Without Champions league money next year the club could join Rangers in the history books.
I’d take quite a few of these Prague players but I’d much rather have this ref :)
Here’s some of the covid 5 coming on

I should be saying `remarkable` but this is Scotland.
For all the praise Sevco getthey have been outclassed here. Restricted to shots from distance
con – vincibles.
The unconvincibles
Saving the Colombian for Sunday.

They were not being outclassed in the ten minutes i watched but I will happily stand corrected :-))
Third/Fourth would be v welcome
HOT SMOKED on 18TH MARCH 2021 9:42 PM
They haven’t created a chance of note all game, the were outclassed last week also,
There manager earlier 1-0 up 55mins away from home bang 3 subs on there lies the difference from Lennon he would have sat on that till about 75 and just swapped a like for like
Chapati’s over for Raanjurs after well earned Praha boot in the Bhaji’s
Daryl Currie
So frustrating that we are looking at Sevco reacting to pressure, something we didn’t leverage all season
Loosing the plot now
Incidentally some of those videos of the sevco players’ “celebrating” last week they looked more than drunk.
Maybe their behaviour could be explained from a week coming down from addictive drugs.
Not a theory to be sniffed at, SG and his pals love the stuff.
Bada
Or taken off Eddie, put on Rogic for his work rate, and moved CalMac to left back? 🤷🏼♂️
Meanwhile, huns being Hunnish…
It will be such a relief for Sevco to get back to `normal` refeeing on Sunday.
Hunplosion
Some real old fashioned hun thuggery on show tonight . Loving’ this proper ref

An Tearman it is obvious your campaign for Indy is more precious to you than Celtic.
Lets stop kidding on.
=======================
There is no “lets” as said politely before ” in yir own heid” 😊 makey uppy nonsense
Your windin your wee self up ruminating over how or what i post dont you be botherin your wee head..
Re moniker spelling next time spell mine correctly please Martim.Thanks.mind and use the thumb now.i will continue to post what and how i like thank you..

Don’t know why some are surprised, Slavia were excellent against Leicester.
We were unlucky to lose last time at Ibrox and are due a result against TRFC.
However, how motivated will we be on Sunday?
The Rainjurz, as far as I can see don’t have one player I’d want for us. Their success has come from playing to a system and sticking with it…..oh….and hun refs also help
Commentator “Slavia player clearly broke the international bad language barrier”.
Lost for words.
Sevco given a pr out with whatever this guys says.
However maybe he said “shove the foreworks up your archie”
Commentators completely sevco pr.
Faux outrage with racist undertones…they don’t do irony
Keeper is very lucky he did not lose an eye.
An Tearmann okay look forward to all your Celtic posts until May😂🤣🤣😂
Team that loses £20m per year struggles in match officiated by honest referee.
