The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

I am convinced the real ian paisley is dead and a look a like has taken his place for the last 4 or 5 years.

you could be on to something there Nifan...lol

I bet the big Ian man got home and said to young Ian "you never guess who was on my flight home...F**king Tony Fearon" and young Ian said "Da, i hope you got his autograph"

Well done Celtic at the weekend

[Doogie Browser]

Paisley might have been at the match too!  Good job it was a Saturday game for a change as he wouldn't have made a Sunday game.
The Late Late Show one week, Parkhead the next, where next then on Big Ian's Taig tour?  Croke Park on St Patricks Day?  He is bound to be a big Rangers fan afterall.

Tone only back in front of a computer now.
Head is hanging off me but what a weekend, biggest win I've ever been at.
Failte on Friday night and all day yesterday, then the Brazen Head before the match on Saturday then on Saturday night.
Did think that the atmosphere was poor enough in the ground even after the goal fest.
And finally 7 goals and not of them scored by a striker!! 

But well done the Bhoys a morale boost was needed and duely served, also sorted out the goal difference.

saturday was a long time coming and hopefully there will be more of the same. crosas goal was brilliant and i think celtics strongest midfield is naka, crosas, brown and mcgeady.

Was over at the weekend myself -first time in the corporate area, was powerful.

You didn't happen to see a rather sickly looking character do laps round the Brazen Head? or pukeing under the bridge

would agree with that
Tony, strachan picked a decent side and all of them in their places - for a change, we shouldnt be congratulating the manager on doing what he should be doing all the time anyhow and getting the simple things right.
However by all accounts JVOH was dire and should have been taken off at or before HT.
I like big Jan, but hes not in form right now to say the least.
the manager has his favourites and will rarely venture from picking these.

I recall the last 7-0 win v aberdeen, I was at it and a REAL striker scored 4 - big bad John !

Hopefully this will now kick start Celtics season and push for the last 14 games winning run and winning the league!
Great result, great perf - hear they should have scored even more than 7 ...inc the missed penalty !

Might have seen ya under the bridge alright, that band were on in the morning and were brilliant, thought they were crap that night though!

Mc Donald was far from pleased at being substituted on Saturday and made his feelings known to Strachan when he walked passed the dugout. You've got to admit football management at this level is far from easy with players throwing tantrums, calling you names etc. Big Jock wouldn't have tolerated a modicum of what Strachan has put up with from players or fans. At least VOH accepted his substitution with dignity unlike Mc Donald who was also crap and missed another sitter on a par with the one he missed against Rangers.

thats why I still say Celtic need at least one if not two more top class strikers.

Kilmarnock v Celtic 
 
Kilmarnock defender Frazer Wright is struggling with the knee injury that forced him to miss out on Saturday.

Ryan O'Leary is included for the first time since he dislocated his shoulder on the opening day of the season.

Celtic are without suspended striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink for the trip to Rugby Park.

Barry Robson, Shaun Maloney, Paddy McCourt and Koki Mizuno are still out with hamstring injuries and Lee Naylor is sidelined with a calf problem.





Another big match tonight, another must win, hopefully the team will be still on a high from the destruction of St Mirren.
Worrying to see so many players suffering from the same injury?!?

[The Corporal]

Any word on how young McGinn is getting on? Will he be given a run out soon?

[Tommy Tight Lips]

heard about 2-3 weeks ago that he hadnt yet trained with the first team squad although that may have since changed since mccourt has struggled with injury as have robson,maloney and mizuno!

[Rav67]

Hope WGS sticks with the same midfield tonight.  I've have a fear that Hartley will return though and possibly even Flood.  Unfortunately Celtic have a manager who will be thinking about preventing Killie from playing even though not one of their players would get in the Celtic side.

WARREN FEENEY has urged Northern Ireland fans to wind up Celtic keeper Artur Boruc and 'get under his skin'.
Dundee United striker Feeney is desperate to help his country beat Boruc's Poland in this month's World Cup qualifier.
The Rangers fan wants the Irish to turn Windsor Park in Belfast into a mini-Ibrox to pile the pressure on Boruc.
Feeney said: "It's vital our fans get under Boruc's skin because he has proved already this season that when he lets things get to him, he is prone to the odd mistake.
"We need to turn Windsor Park into a mini-Ibrox for the day.
"He hates playing there and anything that will help our cause must be encouraged.
"He is a quality goalkeeper and will be one of their main men, but we have got the players capable of scoring goals past him."
Feeney hasn't forgiven Boruc for his heroics in the Co-op Cup semi, when he netted in the shootout as Celts beat United to earn a final clash with Rangers.
Now he is begging Irish boss Nigel Worthington to let him have a shot at revenge.
He said: "He's one of the main reasons why I'll not be playing in the League Cup final.
"It would have been one of the proudest moments of my career, walking out in a final to play a team I have supported all my life.
"Boruc made some decent saves and then scored in the shootout.
"Now I want revenge and I appeal to Nigel Worthington to give me the chance to score against him at Windsor Park.
"It would give me the greatest thrill in the world to help Northern Ireland beat Poland — especially with Boruc between the posts.
"I was elated to score against him and Celtic at Parkhead.
"It's every Rangers fan's dream to hit the back of the net against Celtic on their home patch — but now I want to do it again at Windsor Park."

No doubt Boruc will get some stick.
Windsor park is its own place - feeny should lay off mini-ibrox shite. I doubt he will start anyway.
Healy and one of Lafferty or Patterson will probably start.
