"Yesterday I dared to struggle today I dare to win." Fred Hampton- Black Panther,  adapted by Bernadette McAliskey around the Battle of the Bogside,





The Croatian midfield maestro said: "Special atmosphere. Thank you Celtic Park."

The home fans paid tribute to the likes of Karim Benzema and Modric with applause when they were replaced.

Kroos added: "The mentality of these people who accept their rivals, it's a spectacular atmosphere.

"We didn't expect an easy game, it's a good team here at home."

Scotland's Shame!!

albeit the Dutch media reporting does crudely  cross the line of xenophobia. But this time they could arguably offer  extreme provocation  as an excuse.

'Drunken Scots', 'take your rubbish with you' - How Rangers' 4-0 defeat to Ajax was reported by Dutch press

Rangers desperate performance in their Champions League group stage opener against Ajax has been heavily criticised by the Dutch press.
Just two weeks after claiming a famous 1-0 over PSV Eindhoven to qualify for the group stages for the first time in 12 years, the Ibrox side were subjected to an Amsterdam annihilation on their return to the Netherlands.

Conceding three before half-time, and another after the break, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side lost four goals in successive matches for the first time since 1982 following a similar rout at Celtic Park on Saturday.

In their match report De Volkskrant compared Rangers performance to the standard of the side currently sitting 12th in the Eredivisie.
"The team of Giovanni van Bronckhorst looked Scottish and skewed as the ball kept making a detour past legs that had no chance of being extended," they wrote. "There was just too much happening for Rangers, too fast, in too small a space.

"PSV was anxious. Ajax pretended there was no opponent at all, as if Rangers were just a team from the Eredivisie. A kind of FC Groningen, but dressed in blue. "

De Telegraaf branded Rangers "drunken Scots", as they wrote: "After a short scanning phase, the team from Amsterdam set off in the atmospheric Johan Cruijff ArenA.
"In it, the drunken Scots were lucky that it was 'only' 3-0 at half time."

Meanwhile, Algemeen Dagblad commented on the fact that Ajax fans aimed a chant directly at Rangers boss and fellow countryman Van Bronckhorst.

"'Gio, take your rubbish with you', the supporters of Ajax sang in the final phase of the one-sided duel," they wrote.

Rangers defending was also criticised with the first goal attributed to an error by James Sands.

Tomorrow's game is the most important in the group for Celtic and i'm a bit concerned (although i'm like this with every game), if we lose we've no pts and the top two will have 6 from 6 so can rule out qualifying (not mathematically but u know what i mean). Celtic need a draw min i feel to keep their hopes alive in the group, they thumped RB leipzip 4-1 last game so have to be good but from what i hear they'd 5 shots on target and scored 4 of them. This game will def show Celtic where they're at level wise as we all know Real Madrid are on a different planet even though we came out swinging against them.

Score predictions?

Shakhtar 2 Celtic 2

Celtic 2 Shakhtar 0

Celtic to win 2-1.  I hope!  Haksabanovic starts, think he could be an inspired signing.

[bennydorano]

Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan.

[Orior]

So it's not like the Eurovision Song Contest where you are meant to let Ukraine or Ukraine teams win?

Celtic 1-0 up and playing very well.

[seafoid]

Shakhtar haven't played at home since 2014 .That would be like Celtic playing in Skye since the referendum.

[bennydorano]

Great start but hanging on for dear life now approaching ht at 1-1.

[seafoid]

Celtic are doing better in the second half and would be even better if Jota could shoot on time
