The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Knew it would be the case, was the same ladt year and sure after last seasons European performance it wasn't going to change. Some very tough games in there, big ask even to get to the last qualifying round.

It is not the same as last year.
Last year Celtic were seeded in the 3rd qual round, this year not.

You sure? Thought teh Russians would have been seeded. I stand corrected.

Steven Reid a possible signing for Celtic as his contract is not renewed at Blackburn.

Reid would be a good gamble on a free.  Just wonder if he is destined to be injury plagued for the rest if his career, a shame as he is a class act.

Celtic play St Pauli tonight in a Friendly to mark their centenary, St Pauli are a fascinating club.

19:30 ESPN - Live
Tue 18th May Live: FC St Pauli v Celtic
Neil Lennon takes a youthful squad to Germany tonight - flight chaos permitting - to face St Pauli in an end-of-season friendly that could yet prove his last match in the dugout.

St Pauli just got promoted last week as well

Feck that was some goal by McCourt, after walzing through god knows how many defenders, just how did he get it in from that angle?

is it on tv?

GDA already mentioned EPSN, I was watching some local Hamburg channel.
St Pauli just got promoted to the Bundesliga, it looked like they were saying goodbye to a lot of old stalwarts. They have already started to rip down one side of the ground and concealed the site with huge images of their heroes. You could tell which era from the hairstyle .
The Celtic boys were all over them in the 2nd half. I don't know who St Pauli had playing from their first  team but there was one loose cannon (name of Taki?) who came on in the second half who I'd swap for Fortune in a flash.
Brown doesn't do friendlies, that lad could be a useful player.
Typical McCourt, a flash of pure genius for the goal, (awesome goal ), you could sell him for £10m based on that alone, but 5 minutes later he is dawdling with the ball along the sideline and carelessly gave it away.
