Ronny’s Big Decision
It’s a massive night in Paradise tonight and there’s no getting away from the importance of these two legs with Qarabag. It’s vital that we take a clean sheet and a decent result over to Azerbaijan next week and who Ronny chooses up-front is of the upmost importance. The starting XI for tonight’s game almost […]
Celtic Progress – A Report from Iceland
Stjarnan 1 Celtic 4 Finsan (7) Bitton (33), Mulgrew (49), Griffiths (88), Johansen (90) At last, on my ninth European away game, a Celtic victory!! After 7 minutes I wasn’t betting on it though as sloppy play and an aversion to tackling resulted in Finsan scoring. The fact that […]
Celtic in Control But Must Do Better
The sun was shining and a crowd of well over 40 000 turned up for our first competitive game of 2015/16. It was great to be back; few things in life compare with the goosebumps I get walking up The Gallowgate and seeing the stadium come into view. This time the view was enhanced by […]
Celtic V Dukla
Celtic lined up this morning at St Mirren Park for their second pre-season game against Dukla Prague. Their first outing seeing them turn in an easy 2-0 victory but just before 13 minutes today the Celts found themselves 1-0 down. Adam Matthews won’t be lining out in a Celtic shirt again after his move to Sunderland […]
Celtic Sign Off In Style (5-0)
It’s easy to get caught up in an occasion and not give the best account of yourself but party day at paradise was marked with a commanding professional performance. Inverness have previous offences of upsetting Celtic parties but today they were spectators as Celtic controlled the game from the first whistle to the last. Celtic […]
Party Team V ICT
Ronny Deila has made six changes in his team that will close out the season. Scepovic will get a rare start for the hoops and he will need to stake some claim to remain at the club for next season. ICT are expected to also send out a lot of fringe players with final […]
Focus is the Key in Dundee
Celtic’s quest for 4 in a row heads back on the road to Dundee AGAIN this afternoon as Ronny and his bHoys take on United at Tannadice. These two teams are very familiar with each other this season, it was only last month Celtic had a marathon of games against the Arabs where Celtic won 3 […]
Celtic Team to Face Caley
First and foremost ignore the league game from last weekend. Today’s game is a whole different animal, one I think Celtic will handle with ease. We have seeing countless times down the years across all leagues what happens to teams that develop a bit of a cushion. Subconsciously the same effort and motivation is not […]
ICT 1 Celtic 1
Today’s clash with ICT started at a hundred miles an hour with both teams scoring in the first 5 minutes. Leigh Griffiths scored a wonderful individual goal outside of the box in just the second minute. The lead was quickly pegged back after a goal mouth scramble and a series of failures to clear the […]
Celtic Team V ICT
Celtic will face ICT in a double header, kicking off today with league business. Celtic are 5 wins away from lifting the league trophy. They will face ICT again in seven days and can take another big step step towards a much sought after treble. ICT are on a cold streak, they have not picked up 3 points now […]
League Cup Champions – Ronny Roars to First Celtic Trophy
That’s the first of three in the bag then. A comprehensive victory against a 10 ment United side. The side done the job. Didn’t let anything slip and kept things professional. Can’t really say that the performance got me excited all that much. Goals from Kris Commons and sub James Forrest sealed a 2-0 win […]
Celtic Cup Team to Face Utd Announced
Ronny Deila is bidding to put his first piece of silverware into the Celtic trophy room today. After a rollercoaster game last week against the same opposition Celtic will be hoping that its the men in hoops that steal the headlines and not the one’s sponsored by Specsavers. Still in the hunt for a treble […]
Blindsman (Dundee Utd vs Celtic)
The first of three games against Dundee United hasn’t disappointed. Craig Thomson had clearly decided that he was going to make sure he was the main talking point this afternoon. Within ten minutes he managed to send off VvD and Paul Paton for an incident he never even seen. What makes it worse was that […]
A Report From Milan – Ronny and Team Did Us Proud
Inter Milan 1 Celtic 0 Ivan Kruzliak (ref) No penalty 14 mins Sending off VVD 37 mins No decision to Celtic if possible …..All 93 mins Guarin 88 mins Celtic were, tonight, beaten by an incompetent (at best ) referee and a wonder strike by Guarin. To be honest, I came to Milan expecting a […]
Team News: Guidetti Starts in San Siro
With kick off fast approaching we now see the side Deila is putting out against Inter and it’s a very attacking side. Leigh Griffiths has picked up an injury and wont take part at all this evening. Also Commons will have to settle for a place on the bench after scoring a brace at the […]
Mind Games
Tomorrow evening will be Ronny Deila’s biggest game in the Celtic hot seat to date. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see that changes need to be made to progress to the next round of Europa League. So will Deila alter his tactics or will he continue with the attack minded game […]
Griffiths or Guidetti – Who would you start?
Maybe Ronny Delia will welcome the headache he has with two strikers finding the back of the net. Both Guidetti and Griffiths have had their barren spells this season but one’s good form seems to have spurred on the other. Guidetti scored a vital goal last Thursday deep into injury time to set up a winner […]
Ronny’s Found Winning Formula
2015 has seen Celtic transform their season and their playing style. As we get down to the serious part of the season Celtic are hitting form at just the right time. Still involved in all competitions they entered at the start of the season it could be a year for a major trophy haul. Celtic […]
Celtic Team to Face Accies
As predicted earlier today Ronny will rest some players ahead of his 3 games in 7 days. John Guidetti gets a start today after his 94th minute goal against Inter on Thursday night that sees the Celts head to Milan with a fighting chance of progression in the Europa League. At the back Ambrose comes […]
The Next 7 Days
Celtic have a big seven days ahead of them, starting today when Hamilton visit Celtic Park for some league business. Yesterday Aberdeen kept the pressure on the top of the table with a 3-0 with against St. Mirren. Despite the Celts midweek heroics they do have previous for “European Hangovers”. In 94 minutes on Thursday […]
