Lots of frustration around today at the possibility the first leg of the Champions League qualifier will be switched to Belfast. It will be no comfort to those who booked travel yesterday but we are in this situation every qualifying game. The draw is made and confirmed a day or two later, which is why clubs (including Celtic) and CQN yesterday ran a “Don’t book travel until…” piece. On most occasions nothing is changed which means fans are caught out when change happens.
No reason why Uefa can’t deal with this on the day of the game, or exclusively on the basis of strict criteria. I hope they deny this request, which is not in Celtic’s favour and clearly not in fan’s best interest.
Two items to draw your attention to today:
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust
Tommy Burns Skin Cancer Trust are undertaking a sponsored cycle of all SPL grounds this September in attempt to get to our £100k fundraising target. This money will be used to help on the battle to fight skin cancer working with organisations such as Beatson Cancer Centre. The event is called Tour for Tommy and will span 5 days, 12 clubs and 380 miles of cycling before returning to Celtic Park on Sunday 15th September. Ex-Celts such as Packie Bonner and Frank McGarvey are joining in as the full event and Bertie Auld will be completing the last day. The event is looking to team up with the fans of each club to join them on a leg from their stadium to the next.
The group have much of the logistics in place and most of the riders, but they need more help. Each of the four main days are being offered for sponsorship with day one already taken up. In return the 30-40 core riders will get their clothing made with that company’s logo as well as any signage on press releases at the stadiums among other benefits (full pack available upon request). The Tour has already received great coverage from Sky Sports with further commitment to track the whole event.
In addition the charity are looking for donations of anything from water bottles, energy bars/drinks to medical supplies and biking mechanical supplies.
If you are interested in getting involved in any way you can contact scottmcgarvey@gmail.com. You can donate here, follow on Facebook and twitter (@tommyburnsSCT).
I know many of you will be aware of the work done by Celtic fans for the people of Haiti as part of the Hoops For Haiti campaign. This is another aspect of the incredible work done by Celtic fans and a credit to our club. You can read their blog here and get involved here.

Sevco heading towards another train wreck with even more SPL wages being paid out.
I find it hilarious that the only way that Fat Sally can get promotion is to have SPL players.
He has not got much confidence in his own tactical or coaching abilities. lol!

On an absolute downer at the thought of missing Cliftonville game. Love European games no matter who we are playing.
:0(

Especially if one considers this is a particularly significant games as the Cliftonville support are “The blood of our blood and The bone of our bone” as someone in Scotland once said.

I want it to be known, I will give my full years pay to the man that sticks a bullet in that little pricks head. That is a promise.
————————————————————————————-
surely breaking the law inciting murder?
Come on, guys.
Canamalar deserves a bit of support. All he is asking for is openness from the movers & shakers of the club.
Personally, I think the board is doing a great job.
That should not mean that they cannot be questioned.
Celtic is not some secret society.
Give the man the backing he needs to ask the relevant questions.
Afternoon bhoys, hot and hun free in the mountain valley.
So they have signed another mug, some wage bill.
Foster cost Bristol Cty 250K and thet rip up his contract, just as well thems have agreed a friendly against them, that should take care of the transfer fee.
Rules, to hell with the rules, thay are for the others.
RICHARD FOSTER has become the latest player to commit to Rangers for this season and next after agreeing a two-year contract which will take effect from September 1.
The full-back has been released from his deal with Bristol City and he’s the seventh free agent to agree terms with the club this summer.
Foster joins Cammy Bell, Nicky Law, Jon Daly, Nicky Clark, Steven Smith and Arnold Peralta on the list of incoming recruits.
They will all join Ally McCoist’s squad subject to registration once the Ibrox outfit’s 12-month transfer embargo comes to an end.
Foster, of course, has played for Gers before having spent the 2010/11 campaign on loan from then SPL rivals Aberdeen.
He played a notable part in the title triumph that year which ensured Walter Smith left his position as manager with a 21st major honour in the bag.
Foster arguably gave his best performances for Rangers on the European stage as he featured both in the Champions League and the Europa League a right wing-back.
In total, he made 24 appearances which he will now add to as the forthcoming Second Division campaign progresses.
The 27-year-old, who had been the Dons’ captain after he returned to Pittodrie from Ibrox and prior to his January 2012 move to Ashton Gate, arrived in Glasgow yesterday.
And he is expected to meet his new team-mates for training this morning at Murray Park as he comes back to the team he grew up supporting on a permanent basis.
During his time in England, Foster had 50 league outings for the Robins and one more in the League Cup.
One game short of 350 competitive career matches, he brings a great deal of experience with him and is likely to be a regular starter in the months ahead.
I’m happy to have McFadden.
The deal will be weighted on a pay as you play basis.
He is better cover for Commons/ Samaras than McGeough .
He is experienced and also helps our Scottish quota of players for UEFA.
If true.
Welcome Faddy.
TT
if the right deal is struck McFadden would be a good addition to the squad.

It was only Facebook, and hasn’t even been confirmed by a taxi driver.

‘He has not got much confidence in his own tactical or coaching abilities’
– well he needs to look himself in his [wide-angle] mirror and give himself a good shake.
He’s the SFLDiv3 MOTY, for goodness sake!
And what’s more, he’s the last ever SFLDiv3 MOTY!
And if he gets the ole rub of the green, he could reach the Final of the Ramsden’s this year, if not even win the bloomin’ thing!
