Celtic have a healthy record at Tynecastle. We lost Ange Postecoglou’s first league game there, in July 2021. Three years before that we lost there in the second game of the season and famously, our record 69 game unbeaten run in domestic football ended there in 2017. Those games aside, we have won 16 of 17 visits there, a run that goes way back to when Neil Lennon was under pressure from the new Craig Whyte regime across the city.
Still, our games there are usually tight. In our last six visits we have only won by more than a single goal once (0-2). Our visit there earlier this season could be described as heroically tight. The Scottish Cup draw, which sees us away to Hearts next month, could scarcely be tougher.
In our favour, we have them at Celtic Park a few days before the cup tie. It will be an opportunity to use our football investments to best effect, put them through a strenuous test, making the most of our depth of squad. They may be able to compete well at Celtic Park, but doing so will take a toll.
In other times we would focus on the league but our glut of trebles still overhangs the consciousness of Scottish football. Few trophies escape Celtic, making every trophy more valuable, including to Celtic.
It is unlike football to quickly get to the point and accept responsibility, but Uefa did just that in their report into the serious safety failings at the Champions League final last year between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The leaked report laid primary responsibility for the danger on Uefa itself, while the Paris police and French government were also condemned. If risk to life can still happen when the world’s media are there, broadcasting every second, it can happen anywhere.
Scottish football mostly feels safe, unless you are part of a kettled few hundred, boxed in by horses, or with bottles raining down on you. Complacency shown on these matters when we visit Ibrox is a disgrace.

I had a Correct Score bet on with the Bookies yesterday for MAN CITY to beat ARSENAL BY 3 – 2 @ 28/1.
So close, but NO Cigar.
However, I DID have DORTMUND to beat Chelski 1 – 0 @ odds of 15/2….Correct Score.

Stephen Boyd was born Whitehouse, Belfast not far from Glengormley.His ashes were interred in a cemetery in California.

Big Jimmy, apart from being the same age as your jokes 😁 – 1 million years BC was filmed in Lanzarote. I wonder if you could get a cheap flight there in 1966?

Big Jimmy,
Quite a few of the Heart throbs in Hollywood in those days were a bit light on their feet.
………………..
Stephen was married TWICE…to TWO different Women, however at the time of being in the Film ” Fantastic Voyage” with Raquel ( 1966) he was NOT Married.
Maybe he had a Burd….and dint wish to cheat on her with Raquel ?
I am also aware of some Men, especially in Hollywood of being married to a Woman….but being Gay….ALLEDGELY ?
Stephen Boyd was also well known for having a ” Wicked sense of humour”, so it wouldnt surprise me IF he DELIBERATELY IMPLIED to Raquel in the back of the Limo, that MADE Her ” THINK” he was Gay….and also to let her down politely ?
My DA told me the story about Stephen Boyd at the Premier Showing of BEN HUR in Glasgow ( ?), and he walked on the stage BEFORE the Movie, dressed in a Tuxedo, and with his Bronzed Chiselled looks making many Women SWOON in the audience.
Stephen said to the Audience….” Tonight folks, you will see a CHARIOT RACE in this Movie, and without giving anything away…..I should tell you that the RACE was FIXED” !
If the above story about Stephen Boyd and the ” FIXED Chariot Race ” was indeed TRUE….I can only believe that Stephen DID have a wicked sense of humour ?
So MAYBE, he DELIBERATELY MISLED Raquel into thinking that he was Gay that night in the back of the Limo ?
Then again, maybe Raquel was stunned to hear ANY man ..” knocking her back ” ?
Raquel WAS a STUNNER.
LOL

My Jokes are older that 1 Million Years BC……….BRRB was the Guy who told me all those auld Jokes !
LOL.
I Million Years BC was the FIRST Movie that I saw Raquel….I can STILL picture her in that Skimpy Fur BIKINI !
WOW…What a whole lotta woman.

BRRB was The KAROKE Man at the ” LAST SUPPER” !
or so the story goes…

Stephen Boyd….Born ” WILLIAM MILLAR” near Belfast………I wonder IF he was a ” BILLY BOY” for a wee while ?
LOL
HH
I MAY have got my actors mixed up earlier re Stephen Boyd ?
He was the Star of a Back and White Film in the 1950’s in which he played EITHER an IRA Gun Man……or a NAZI Gun Man ? I cant quite remember ?
I KNOW that the great JOHN MILLS actually played an IRA Man in an old Film, and along with his on screen Brother they fought against the Brits in the Film.
Something horrible happens in the Film ( Maybe some Innocents are Killed ? )….which leads John Mills to turn against his Brother and the IRA ? Anyway, its a cracking old Film.
When I first saw it on TV, I couldnt believe that the late SIR John Mills had been cast as a Member of The IRA, I thought he would be mis cast…however John Mills played the part very well indeed.

Celtic v Aberdeen….
A bit strange, as I have had NO Email as yet about this game being available on PPV ?

Amazing number of folk on here supporting the pathetic GB giving the Tory leader in Scotland some further oxygen and the opportunity to increase his awareness and acceptability to middle Scotland.
I had no idea that so many closet tories contributed to this site. Any publicity for the garbage perpetrated by the north curve ‘massive’ will only enhance the guys popularity and strengthen resolve.
Aside from a few kids and grown ups having a giggle on Celtic websites can someone tell me what it is achieving for Celtic and our quest for more trophies and European success ?

Cheers mate for your very kind offer. I have travelled several years ago on the JETLINER across the water, but as I have grown older, I am NOT too keen on travelling.
Also, I do NOT have a PASSPORT, and in order to get a new one, I would have to produce Birth Certifcate, Driving Licence etc etc. I dont have a Driving Licence, and I have NO IDEA where my Birth Certificate is, although I do KNOW that I have it somewhere in the house ?
Due to my health, it would cause me some discomfort trying to look through the mass amount of documents/paperwork that I have in my house….I couldnt face it.
Also, I would be hopeless at trying to walk from one Pub to another…again due to my health.
I have been desperate to have some kind of holiday for a few years now, but ALL of the above puts me right off the idea….even trying to go to Blackpool on my own ?
Once again, THANK YOU for the kind offer….
” TIMS ON TOUR” !

Did you know that you don’t need a parachute to go skydiving?
You only need one to go skydiving twice……..
Morning all from a sunny but cold Germany, would love it if Ange’s Celtic career lasts longer than the careers of the journalists trying to sell him to the EPL!
PPS
you don’t need a passport to fly within the Common Travel Area of UK, Ireland, Channel Islands. Driving licence or certain other cards are adequate. Ryanair do make you show a passport as part of their common processes business model.

My passport is still stuck with Royal Mail due to their cyber attack – have to cancel a trip to Dubai with camels, sand surfing, free bevvy, meals and a ‘strengths ‘ session with an ex British Army Brigadier, public school boy 😎

Sorry to hear about your health issues. The offer stands, and I have plenty of room at my house, as my daughters are living abroad at the minute. I can collect you and leave you back to Larne as I am off all of August. If there is a chance you can make it, then just give us a shout.

Burnley78,
“I just wanted to say thank you to them (Green Brigade) because they have, week in, week out, created a great atmosphere. They sing non-stop. They add colour. Sometimes they are a little bit controversial but in the main they have behaved themselves impeccably and they have changed the culture of the stadium. It’s a fun place to come for the supporters and the atmosphere in the big games has been fantastic. They are the catalyst for all of that.”
– Neil Lennon
In November 2012, the Green Brigade organised a full stadium pre-match card display against Barcelona to celebrate Celtic’s 125th anniversary. The display featured a Celtic cross, green and white hoops and 125 Celtic in written form, with supporters earning the praise of club chairman Peter Lawwell.
Imperfect. Sometimes brillant, sometimes not. Part of the Celtic family, inbcluding the Tories in our midst, of which there are many. All welcome, I understood, in a club for all.
I like them, wish they would cut back on the Ra songbook and stick to the team but easy for me to say from my sofa 400 miles away and they’re paying their entry fee and they don’t shy away from their politics so hey-ho. I did have to tell the bhoy that I wasn’t going to repeat what the banner said but in a world of sh*t and pish hitting us from all directions, a problem I can live with this week.
