Kris Commons looked like he had put a lot of practice into taking penalties yesterday. The ball was firmly hit and found the corner of the net, a feat which is far from impossible but which has been beyond various Celtic players for the last few years. We have little a little over a month before we could face a penalty kick competition against Juventus. Penalty kick practice should be on the menu every day between now and then, for the entire squad.
I’m delighted Lukasz Zaluska has had an extended run in the team. No player will be at his best if he is seldom tested and never in important games. Lukasz carried his share of the blame for last weekend’s Hampden defeat but not every keeper can pull off a Nigel Spink. Good to have Fraser back for Inverness.
If you read on a Celtic site that The Rangers chief executive and chairman are “at loggerheads” after “a chaotic week of back-biting” or that there is a prospect they will “frighten the life out of those institutional investors who ploughed £17million into the coffers little more than a month ago”, you would be forgiven for discounting the claim as a case of wishful thinking.
When it comes from the Daily Record and recent colleague of the club’s newly installed head of media you can be sure there is a little more to it than that.
You would think with all the positive feedback Green and Murray would have received form the SPL Commission they would be flush with joys. I sincerely hope, for their sake, that Phil’s Bridge over Troubled Waters ditty was more wishful thinking than another leak from the media team. That would be embarrassing. “Squelch.”

I’d have PO at Celtic in a heartbeat…seems like small money for his talent?
Nite all.
Things to do, no time to do them.
CQN, an education as always.
Take care and god bless Timland.

I really like him as a player and he’d give us real pace that would be useful in Europe where we are likely to be defending and looking to hit on the break..

Not sure he would give us any more than we have at club at mo. think hitting on break is currently our strong point with big Sammi, hopper and tony watt giving us real pace. Not a priority for us with current squad.
Would also question his mental stability and how he would easily fit into the team ethos, we would be inheriting a problem.
Agree on Tony Watt. Now we are 15 points clear in SPL I expect Stony to be featuring more.. Help knock rough edges off , let him learn and make mistakes. He could be s very easy (free) replacement for Hooper

What you got against mentally unstable bhoys… ffs…. Fffffffs…. Argh……. grrrrrrr
Were just misunderstood ;)
Nite nite TIMLAND.

Lenny has the mentality to manage all ‘strong’ personalities
Time for me to get some sleep and dream of big cups and administration
You’ll need to rewind a few time to catch the goal
@TonyCassidy123: RT pls, Tom Rogic’s goal tonight at 40secs, blink n ye’ll miss it :) #HailHailMedia https://t.co/PVxMKg5w

Paddy McCourt is talismanic, emblematic. He can play well, too. He is a Celt in every atom of his frame. This is his worth. He represents exactly what is sung of him.
Right now we can afford to have such an inspiration to the spirit of our ambitions.
I like him, anyway. That’s just me, though. Each to his own.
The Bhoy’s a Bhoy.
Just watched a mad wee psycho-thriller called ‘Orphan’……not my usual thing but well executed….excuse the pun.
I will also admit to being loaded on prescribed medication, hence my sentimental outpouring re. Paddy McC.
I will stand by my words in the light of day. A damn’ fine Celt & Bhoy.
Well…
….still waiting on an alibi from the medics. Hopefully a suitable plan of action will be decided upon soon to restore equilibrium and provide me with a definitive resolution.
C’est la vie. Meanwhile, stoicism is the order of the day…
Miki…I agree 1oo%. Paddy bleeds green and white, and has been through the same as NFL. With that in mind he could have left at any time and no one could have blamed him. He is living the same dream we all have. He represents celtic and imho he’s done it well. I’m sure he’ll go elsewhere but he’ll never leave this club..his heart is where it belongs.
Heroism is described as grace under pressure.
T’rankers, sevco, whatever name they are given, epitomise the direct opposite.
Loathsome clowns.
I haven’t seen Paddy McCourt perform other than on TV, so will just say that if Neil thinks he merits a place in the CL squad, that is good enough for me.
The one player who does concern me though is Beram Kayal. I think he flatters to deceive and may turn out to be a big disappointment. I hope I am wrong, but that is my assessment of the player.
B.B.C.
Hibernian striker Leigh Griffiths has been charged over an alleged racist comment on networking site Twitter.
It was claimed last month that, in response to a tweet, the Scotland international told user Zak Iqbal to go “back to your own country”.
Aussies have been giving that advice to Pommies for decades.

Sorry to hear of your difficulties.
Paddy strikes a chord for many of us.
His heart is in the right place. That makes it easier for me to make allowances when he doesn`t quite manage to pull our irons out of the fire in the allocated 10 mins.

From BBC:
Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been admitted to a treatment centre in the US.
The 45-year-old has willingly gone to an unnamed centre, his management company confirmed.
The former Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Lazio player has battled with alcoholism since giving up football.
It seems the BBC have lost the history of a certain WoS ex-club. Maybe they should ask chuckles where its gotten to.
Seriously : this story reminded me of the shocker of a story (was it in that fine MSM publication called “The Scottish Sun”) claiming that Gazza was going to play for Sevco.
Quite possibly one of the sickest stories ever published.
It also highlights how badly this hero of the cloven-hooved faithful has been abandoned.
“Thanks for all the memories but now you’re on your own. We have bigger fish to fry.”
Good morning all from the winter wonderland of East Kilbride. A decent covering of snow at the moment but doesn’t look as if it will be here for too long.
EKs white and white.
Morning Celts, damp n windy as expected for this time o the year.
Maybe it’s today that the teddy bears have their pitch nicked!

Wet and chilled in the Chilterns but none of the predicted snow…
Good to see young Rogic get on the scoresheet on his debut, sounds like it could be another steel.
Looks like the Iboxian financial farrago still spins, a very unmerry-go-round.
I saw the Troggs support Rainbow in the Wembley Arena in the early eighties, thought it was an odd sort of choice till I saw them play, a unexpectedly raw, loud and very impressive hard rock band.
R.I.P. Reg Presley.
vmhan, saw it mhate that why I said if briefly. ;)
Looked a good goal though it was a bounce game against lower league opposition, but still a nice take.

Good luck to Paul Gascoigne in his fight against that dreadful disease which does not discriminate. There but for the grace of God goes any one of us who has ever had a good bevvy.
Morning all.
