Scottish football has afforded defending champions the courtesy of a home game on the first day of the season to allow the league championship flag to be unfurled at the start of the new campaign for as many decades as I remember.
As this has, in effect, become a courtesy to give Celtic a home start to the campaign in as many years as my sons can remember, we’ll be at Tynecastle on the opening day of the season. Flag Day will have to wait.
That said, I like the idea of taking on Hearts away, then our nearest challengers, Aberdeen, at home. Come through this successfully and we will be in excellent shape for the campaign.
The Aberdeen game comes immediately after the final round of European qualifiers, so we have an opportunity to finish August in a real high – if we get the preparatory work done early enough.
Bring it on. We don’t need no stinkin’ courtesies.

Did the greatest manager in the universe turn up for his work yesterday?
CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION on 19TH JUNE 2016 8:51 PM
What’s your opinion on UKIP’s breaking point poster? It seems to encapsulate exactly what you have being saying on here.
And for someone who apparently isn’t concerned about migrants from the EU you seem to be very anxious to convince people that a post exit UK will be able to stop EU migrants coming to live and work here.
My only concern on the matter is to point out that that is false.
The Brexiters are lying to people about the issue.
By the way, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the Labour Party.
I vote Labour, that’s it.

As far as I know Brendan has not missed a shift yet :-)
Two strips torn and a ball that burst after a wee kick. Is this all Winfield stuff from Woolies?

And here was me thinking Turkey was your choice destination :-)

Ffs I’m only 53 although I might look a lot older, reckon I caught the ageing gene of acgr a few years ago :)
I’d chuck it tomorrow if I could afford it, sadly I’ll need to perceivere for a few more years:(
Ernie..,
You obviously have a problem with reading and a manic liar to boot.
Oh and never seen any UKIP campaign posters, I’m a migrant in the Middle East.
Tony Benn & George Galloway
Would Brexit prevent Celtic from signing the best of foreign players? Or would we be reduced to signings from English giants such as Acrington, Barnsley, Brentford, Burnley, Bolton, Carlisle, Crewe, etc.
Have been off line for most of day, scrolling back and just want to say thanks to those who posted congrats messages. Hopefully see one or two of ye in Dublin for Barca game. Now come on Shane Lowry.
NATKNOW….
That took me back, the winfield balls, the closest to playing with a balloon as you could get.
Whitedoghunch- are you about?
Mate got a booking for The Cellar in Anstruther for his 50th in Sept. Long way off I know but any info or help would be appreciated.
His Richard Iii is taking him and I hear its rather good.

LOL! Aye – when I started playing with a “real” ball I couldn’t understand why it was suddenly so difficult to score direct from a corner kick! :-))
Look forward to that Sipsini, Had a good day Gerry, sang a few songs in the Celts Well myself, good pub. Santa Ponsa is Green & White. Have a great holiday.
Watching Albania v Romania. Going into 5 minutes stoppage time. Very tense and great atmosphere. Albanians going crazy.
Corkcelt
Will do, wee yin has been in Santa P twice up at 7am in the morning so we were back in the apartment before 9pm…. Last time in the Celts well was April 2015 she was walking about with the digital camera taking photos of all the hoops tops on the ceiling thus year she is adamant she is staying till closing, we will see, we are staying at Jardin Del Mar yards away fae the square…… Am not a great holiday person total homebird but love looking forward to a break fae the norm
Anyway give Mrs Corkcelt all my best and at least Celtic aren’t playing so at least for a few weeks she doesn’t have to walk on eggshells :-)
Does the Bosman ruling apply to non EU countries as I believe it is based on freedom of movement between all EU members?
Or is it a UEFA rule based on membership of an associating affiliated to UEFA?
ing = ion
Mark Lawrensen is so cynical towards foreign teams and players. His whole attitude is disrespectful and dismissive, almost as if he doesn’t want to be there.
An arrogant git of a man.
I’m on eggshells myself watching Lowry. Lead now down to one shot. He is struggling.
Dessybhoy –
Bosman is a worldwide (FIFA) rule and has nothing to do with the EU or freedom of movement.
Ate you perhaps thinking of work permits?
Corkcelt…congratulations to you and your missus. Hope you treated her well today (as every day I’m sure)…
Really enjoyed the Albania game. Great atmosphere…
Auld Tam
Cheers

I remember a number of years back before the season kicked off. After their preview of the EPL Lineker asked him who he thought would win the Scottish League. His answer was “Well….who cares really?”.
The guy is an arse, but sadly has been picking up public money for his arrogance from the BBC for years…
Better players than Shane have lost bigger leads on the last day….
Cqn good night & God bless
Am pretty sure Brendan won’t be too bothered but am looking forward to our CL draw the morra

Wasn’t it Lawreson who chose the Lisbon Lions as the greatest ever UK side?
Lawrenson’s arrogance might be as a result of his Jesuit education.
Ernie
Is it Lawrenson or Lawreson ?
I struggle to keep up with these things not sure what schooling is too blame
Bedtime for me (again)
I’ve mentioned it before on here that on a lunchtime showing of football focus Lawrenson described Italy’s performance the previous night as “tanks in reverse”

That might well constitute a criminal offence in Scotland.

I think it’s something a lot of Celtic fans would be interested in knowing. Not all of them of course, but a lot.
