The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ludermor]

Anyone see sky sports news last night when they said the Celtic will playing young Irish player Cillian Sheridan (pronouncing it like window cill) cringing stuff!

Planning a weekend sometime early in the new year, are there any games down for a Saturday that will not be moved to accomodate Setanta?

You cant be sure until nearer the time. I love the Sunday 12.30pm kick offs, easyjet flight from Belfast at 9.00am has you there in good time, flight home around 8pm, which gives you a few hours after the game in the city centre, and providing you get in early the flights are cheap.The plus point is that Celtic tickets are usually easy enough to get anytime,apart from matches with Rangers

Celtic v Man Utd 
Uefa Champions League, Group E
Venue: Celtic Park Date: Wednesday 5 November Kick-off: 1945 GMT Coverage: Live on Sky Sports 2, live text commentary on BBC Website, plus video of 5 Live Final Score (UK only)

Manchester United defender Wes Brown is unlikely to face Celtic in their Champions League Group E on Wednesday because of an ankle injury.

Brown missed United's last two games and was not at training on Tuesday.

Gary Neville or Rafael Da Silva will deputise at right-back, while midfielders Owen Hargreaves and Paul Scholes remain long-term absentees.

Celtic, beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford in October, need a win to maintain their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

Another win for United would send them into the last 16 with two games to spare if Aab Aalborg fail to beat Villarreal. A draw would also be enough if the Spaniards win.

Gordon Strachan's team will need to improve dramatically on their performance at Old Trafford, when two goals from Dimitar Berbatov and one from Wayne Rooney swept the Premier League champions to an emphatic victory.

Celtic have lost only one of their last 11 home Champions League games but they are yet to score in three matches this season and United are yet to concede.

However, the Scottish side can take heart from seeing Hull score three goals in a 4-3 Premier League defeat on Saturday.

And Strachan also said people should not read too much into his side's defeat at Old Trafford.

"We didn't play as well as would have liked but Man United are probably the best team in the world," he said.

"Everyone who goes there, who has spent more money than us, has got a right tonking there. We got beat 3-0 but two of the goals were offside so it's not as bad as people have been making out."



Teams to follow.

Hail Hail

A bit of pre match cultural entertainment as well

How well do you know your Celtic? Who is credited with writing the Hail Hail Song (no looking up the answer all true Celts will know this one)

[illdecide]

Has the team been named yet???

You can tell you're a gaa man anyway!  In soccer only Trapattoni names his teams well in advance, you'll not find out till 1 hour before kick off but I'd imagine it will be: Boruc, Hinkel, Caldwell, McManus, Wilson, McGeady, Hartley, Brown, Robson/Nakamura, Maloney, McDonald.  I'd be surprised if Sheridan starts but it might be an idea to have a bit of height up there with Sammy and JVOH out.

Rangers lose ground tonight in the campaign to retain their second place in the SPL, might have been worse except for an injury time equaliser earned them a point at home to Dundee United.

Does anyone know where I could view the Gunners or Celtic V Man U online?

[Doogie Browser]

Best of luck to Celtic tonight, I am hoping that envious home record will reap another scalp tonight (1-0 Scott Brown  )

Not too far off the 1-0 we needed. Good effort nonetheless.

hows does that diving kicking **** ronaldo stay on the field, the biggest cheating bastard in the game at the minute!   

[tyroneStatto]

if utd were to beat villareal and celtic finally win away from home in the next game it would leave things very interesting going into the final round of games. if both teams are level on points does it go down to how one team did against the other? on last nights game i thought ronaldo was a real w*nker with his diving, cheating, looking other pros booked, putting his hands up in the air when things didnt go his way and he should have seen red for kicking brown.
