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.

Winnable game but not a skoosh case.
Lovely wee city to visit.
New country for the famous Glasgow Celtic to play in.
Good that the first game is away.

We are playing Maribor away in 4th of our away friendlies on Saturday 9th July and can stop off in Estonia or Gibraltar on the 12th or 13th (tbc) on the way home.

Tempting. My parents are always telling me to get over to the family dacha.
Problem is I might not come back!
Lincoln play in red and black vertical strips, like Meeeelan (copyright Joe Jordan)
They share the 5000 capacity Victoria stadium with other Gib teams.

Pretty sure there was no malice intended,bud. I know we were all delighted that he is safe,but the circumstances-especially the publicity,which originated from his family-did rather beg the question.
IMO,he’s back and I’m happy to wish them all well for the future,and leave it at that. Sometimes people need their privacy.
Average price of a pint in Estonia is £1.68
Can’t find figures for Gibralter but Spain is £1.69
We can only hope it is Estonia :)))

There was definitely no malice intended. I was very concerned when Kevin was reported missing and voiced my strong hopes, on here, that all would end well. I was extremely happy that all did end well . I then found the nature of the reporting of the terrific news rather subdued and wondered if I had missed a more comprehensive story. I think I can see why Macjay would read something in to my comment but I am still disappointed in his response. I am simply very pleased that Kevin is safe. End of.
