The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[MoChara]

Cluj have shown themselves to be a good side though, we under-estimated them to our own destruction in the qualifiers, Lenny was only then getting to start playing his own brand of football so there would always have been teething problems.

Another win today...second half performance was a bit below par but 3pts in the bag and move onto the next one. Actually watched the last 30 mins of Sevco game and how the f**k that Livingston team beat us is unbelievable, they were so bad today. Couldn't string two passes together.

I wouldn't read anything into the performance v Motherwell, it's the morning after the lord mayor's ball.

Celtic and Lazio fined for fans' banner and chants

Celtic have been fined £12,900 after fans displayed an "illicit banner" and sang obscene chants during their Europa League game at home to Lazio. The Italian club have also been fined £8,600 by European governing body Uefa for "illicit chants" during the 24 October meeting.

One banner from the home supporters depicted former Italian leader Benito Mussolini hanging upside down. Another displayed swearing in Italian.

It is the 19th time Celtic have been punished since 2007 and their third charge this season. The Scottish champions were fined £10,400 by Uefa for fans setting off flares in the Europa League win over Cluj and paid an £11,000 fine for their supporters using flares and throwing objects in the play-off second-leg win over AIK in Stockholm in August...

Some banners are worth their admission price but firing flares is lunacy.

Glad to see Griff back in contention, 11 games in Dec so we're gonna need full squad to the max. Didn't realise until i read BBC earlier we haven't beat Livingston nor scored a goal against them in 3 games...WTF. Hopefully a good performance and a 3-0 will put that to bed tomorrow...COYBIG

UEFA supporting the right-wing fascist agenda that is sadly sweeping the world.

Nice win. Good to see Griff back.  The orcs might stay in touch til Christmas but by all accounts there's another fire sale in Mordor in Jan.

December is going to be a huge month - league, euro games and cup final.  A good run in these will boost confidence. 

All about keeping squad fresh in Dec/early Jan.  Should have given more fringe lads out a run today - Greg Taylor and Sinclair should be used over next few league games.  Good to have Griffiths back also.  Hopefully he'll get a run and make a difference.

Feel good factor back within the club and the board drops the bomb of banning the GB...

Too many fines by UEFA I'd say - GB bring great value etc. but must cut out the silly stuff.  Flares and the rest.  They've been warned time and time again but won't listen.

Looks like just 50% of the Green Brigade section has been left empty. 
I take it that UEFA are not bothered by renditions of old classics such as BOTOB?

No, but why would they be?

It was Celtic that closed the section..no UEFA. We love the atmosphere the GB bring to the matches but they have to stop the flares and silly banners before someone is seriously hurt or killed

Celtic playing very well but possibly Lennon saying "the players are giving me everything I ask for and more..." and waxing lyrical about them is not the best public message to young players.  Maybe "another good performance but still a number of areas we need to inprove on" would  keep them on their toes?
