Bit late kicking this off, had a very dodgy pre season as per, drew Helsinki in 1st round of CL Qualifiers and won home and away which is always good, beat Aberdeen 1-0 not really showing too much, lost a good few players, only signed Forster. No sign of new players and drawn Swedes next round which will be no gimmie...roll on the full season and hopefully we can get a good start by getting CL footie.

Oh and well done to Newco in getting a last minute draw against Part time Peterhead :)

Geez well done to the Highlanders, last kick of the ball rescued us , we were out worked from start to finish and while we probably deserved a point we were lacking again up front and Lustig is hopeless with Kelvin Wilson slightly better than him

Wouldn`t worry about it too much mbilko. I think yesterday was really just an exercise in avoiding injuries and also giving some of our injured players the time to come back. Obviously the prize is the Helsingborg games and I will take a few draws if it means we get to the Champions League.
Do you get to many games?
All the best

Hail Hail

Not nearly enough mate as I live in Surrey, when I get back I do try to make it on Celtic nights , especially euro nights but hey ho. Currently looking for Job back in Scotland just now due to some **** going on here at work and will see how that goes.

Swansea 1st in with a Bid for Ki, one or two others according to Mjalby and he has said he wants to go, hopefully we will get £7 million minimum for him and while I really like him and think he will do well in the EPL he is probably one we can afford to lose. Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with him in the press and when we signed him he was the young asian player of the year and called the Asian Steven Gerrard and I can see why.....quality player and would not be surprised if he went to a top 4 or top 6 club and not swansea

Excellent result tonight. Barring a disaster should qualify for the group stages of CL now. Forster once again superb England really need to take a look at him. Defence was the usual heart in the mouth stuff but have done enough to qualify.

Hail Hail

Aye agreed, as long as we dont assume thats it done and dusted, we are still one of the youngest teams in the CL, Forster for me is head and shoulders above the other England keepers but hes playing in Scotland so not rated, their loss. If we can sell Ki, use his money to pay of the £7 million or so and use the CL money wisely then things are looking goos in the land green and white :) We still desperately need a center back in the style of Bobo, someone who will go through 3 players to win a header and who will clear it into row 20 rather than faff about trying to be a midfield playmaker.

Good performance at the weekend against caley. Hardly got out of 1st gear. Surprised at that because caley are usually right up for it. Shame about the 2 goals at the end but the objective was the win and avoiding injuries for the Helsingborg game.
Had a chuckle when tony watt scored an on SSN it came up as T. Watt.

Hail Hail

Brilliant draw, Barca will be another amazing night, the russians with McGeady and Benfica are both beatable at home, so hoping barca take maximum points from the other 2 then its anyones game for the 2nd and 3rd place. Hoping we sign a center back tomorrow and forward is expected tho tbh im not that bothered about that although I did see a wee rumour about McDonald coming back, that I would be very happy with as Skippy would fit in with Hooper perfectly.

£21 million this is worth with £1.5 split among the SPL teams so all in all a good nights work

Well after beating Motherwell on sat Lennon said it was the best performance since he took over last nights win was the icing on the cake, 3-2 in russia against a top drawer team who took Barca all the way and on an artificial pitch could not have been easy and with Hooper top drawer, Lennon saying he was world class was maybe a wee bit strong but he is certainly international class, the whole team should be incredibly proud now the easy tast of barca away then home....
