The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ashman]

Home to Raith Rovers in League cup.

Beat them in 1994 final . 

[Club Rossa]

Without doubt one of my worst days as a Celtic supporter.McStay missed the penalty,thankfully he was able to put that behind him and lift the Scottish cup a few months later.

Who wants to see Celtic loose all their matches in the Champions League? Not me.

I'd rather they play in a league where they have a chance of winning.

They do play in a league where they win most games.

Tough draw in Europa League,Ajax,Fenerbahce and Molde.Will do well to get out of that group.

Blackett is a good player and whilst I know nothing of Simunovic,  Croatian defenders generally will go through you rather than around,  so looking forward to seeing how he handles the tough UEFA cup games.    Although being drawn  in a tough group the experience of playing against Ajax and Fererbahce is as good as the experience of a CL group, but sadly minus the £15mill!!

Would agree with that. I liked Virgil as he had pace, could play the ball out of defence well and was a mountain of a man. Of course he wasn't flawless either but 11.5 was good money for him. Simunovic hopefully is a good replacement and Blackett should displace either Mulgrew or Izaguirre. If Lustig can stay fit then the defence should be grand. A marquee forward would have been nice all the same...its been a while from Henrik...

I actually like the lad Janko at RB skill and pace to burn, haven't seen him defensively much but time will tell, TBH i think Virgil was getting complacent and thats why we've started leaking goals, no doubt he is a class act but was time for a new challenge, i think players of his calibre 2 years is best we can get with motivation etc, hopefully Simunovic will be the same, 2 good years and sell him on. A marquee forward is still out there and free... Berbatov.... can still be signed because he's unattached, 34 could be another Lubo, would get supporters back and add a bit of excitement. Wages could be a problem but is it as big a problem as the fans who are voting with their feet and not going to games? need something and Berbatov could be it.

Spoke too soon, lol but something tells me we could have rivalled a club like PAOK to that signing.

I see football fans in many German clubs are unveiling "Refugee Welcome" banners, following the lead from Hamburg's  St Pauli



Always way ahead of their time, it's pertinent  to remark that the Green Brigade were the first fans to unveil the "Refugee Welcome" banner (made by immigrants) way back in 2007 and true to their form  they produced a quality banner.
