Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

I argued against Celtic playing Murrayfield.
However, if sevco plays there then it would mean 3 sets of fans travelling.
If Celtic play there then I guess its primarily only 2 sets of fans travelling. I struggle with this as it makes sense and the SPFL or SFA do not think that way.

What about looking after us first the fairest way would be a draw.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 07:31:30
I believe the correct decision has been made in the end - it does make sense regarding transport to/ from the fixtures etc for all fans, the problem is the farcical way they have come to the decision, many fans will have already booked flights/ hotels/ buses etc after they announced the original KO times - i hope the SPFL are going to reimburse anyone out of pocket. If they hadn't announced the fixtures I don't think anyone would have complained about what has now been finalised. This MUST be the end for Doncaster.

I tend to agree markie if they had announced it at the draw it would have seemed more open.
I hate to see them giving it big that we are afraid to play wee sevco in Edinburgh, my answer to them is we are Glasgow Celtic, we fear no one.
Bring it on, another trophy in the bag

Guys, the outcome is much better than the original proposal. Is it perfect? No, it isn't but it is what is, let's get on with it. Getting to Murrayfield ain't exactly difficult however the whole debacle will undoubtedly have affected many folk who had booked boats, planes and trains for the original location and time. HH.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 10:53:52
Good point about reimbursement.
If someone can prove they booked after first announcement then they may have a case for claiming.
As usual, the persons have made a complete farce of the process once again.
Will Doncaster resign? Nah, Although the aftermath of his announcement proves he lied about a unanimous decision and consultation and that should be enough to have him removed.
However, it is up to the member clubs to open their mouths and demand his removal which I doubt will happen.

People can question the decision making but at the end of the day we should be beating Hearts in my back garden. It's a bit more travelling for most Celtic fans but Hampden is an awful stadium. Sooner they do something with it or change venue completely the better.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 13:02:59
We are the champions we shouldn't be moved. We should get preferential treatment. Instead we are the ones moved as it suits Rangers and is more inconvenience and disadvantage to us as Hearts played their home games there last season.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 15:12:10
They played a handful of games there Bravetart. By that logic Hampden would be our home ground given how many times we were there last season. I'm sorry but this is all a storm in a tea cup. Let's get on with it and show we're the better side regardless of where we play or what day it's on. God I hope we win. 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 23:39:02
My team for tomorrow.

Gordon Bain De Vries

Lustig Henry Simu Boyata Izzi
Ralston Broony Tierney

I know it's a bit adventurous but I would have Compper and big Ntcham on the bench in case we need to tighten up at the back.

Interesting Stevie playing the 3 keepers it could catch on mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 10:49:53
Mally, not only is he playing the 3 keepers, he's playing them up front. That'll mean we're planning on putting a lot of high balls into the Salzburg box. I also like the way he has given our entire midfield the night off. That'll be that squad rotation thing. lol HH.

Madden gets some - sort of punishment as he has been appointed for a Non SPL match for this weekend.
McKenna has belatedly been offered a two match ban for the scissors tackle so extreme that it appears it is only used against Celtic.

Our panty wetting fans who would prefer to fault some of our players than ridicule the referees and assistants in our bigoted anti Celtic Country will no doubt come out with another excuse for Madden, hair in the eye or something.

03 Oct 2018 22:33:56
The paranoia on here is incredible 😂 the people who run our game are hopeless and so are our referees, nothing more, not biased just hopeless. Jesus!

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 00:52:38
Jazz. Who told you Scottish referees are hopeless and not incompetent, was it the Daily Record?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 07:53:43
Jazz a was sitting in the north stand upper and saw it was an assault bro Bob was 5 to 10 yards away and saw zero. strange that.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 10:58:38
OMC, I watch plenty of Scottish football to make my mind up on referees, don't need that rag to do it for me.
Mally, that's my point the ref was 5 yards away and didn't see it, he should be demoted to the lower leagues as he's useless.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 11:49:23
Jazz that's correct but that's not paranoia in this instance it's reality. there's no way he didn't see the severity of that challenge but chose to do nothing . why?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 12:36:19
Jazz, I have to question why Madden had to usher French Eddy off the pitch in the shortest possible route and then 10 minutes later he allowed an Aberdeen player (might have been Stevie May) to meander his way from our penalty area to the half way line for treatment. I’ve seen me walking in a more straight line at midnight on paddy’s day. My point is these inconsistencies suggest something more than incompetence.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 13:51:05
COYBIG, for me the ref is being inconsistent and there is no more to it. I watched livi v sevco on Sunday and near the end of the game sevco made two penalty claims, non were penalties and the ref got both decisions right, if there was some kind of bias going on against us then sevco would have escaped with at least a draw. This is the same ref that some on here think make deliberate bad decisions against us, really?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 16:11:28
Said it for years Jazz. The refs are just pap.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 16:24:33
Jazz, as you see plenty of Scottish football and are not influenced by the daily record then you must be a poor judge of referees characters.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 18:42:01
Omg, maybe I am a poor judge, but I'm not paranoid, your question earlier of how the ref ushered Fren h Eddy of quicker than the Stevie May is beyond paranoia, you honestly can't believe that can you?

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 19:04:35
Ok Jazz, it’s difficult for either of us to be sure about the situation with officials as we’re both expressing opinions. We’ll never be able to prove one way or another and I’m not going to say that every bad decision is a result of bias but if you look at the extremes, the McGregor incident at Celtic Park is the most blatant example you can imagine of a wrong decision and it wasn’t just the referees decision that was wrong, the compliance officer failed to see anything wrong with it. Even Slippy G acknowledged it. For me, that goes beyond an honest mistake and there’s a whole host of similar incidents stretching back for years and I think that the club and the supporters should challenge it at every opportunity otherwise it’ll only get worse.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 18:48:26
We never expect fairness, honesty and integrity from the SPFL/ SFA so it was a stick-on we would be sent to Edinburgh for the semi-final.
Why can't the national stadium (or Murrayfield) be used for both games on different days instead of yet more favouritism shown to TRIFC 2012?
As the first club out of the hat and the games now scheduled to be played ON THE SAME DAY - our game should have been given the proper priority of Hamden instead of the contingency location, where Hearts played home games recently.
Yet another chapter in the list of biased decisions and obstacles put in place by The Establishment to try and derail Brendan's Bhoys.
It makes it all the sweeter when we succeed and stick it to them.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

03 Oct 2018 19:00:17
I don’t see how it’s favouritism OAB. We came out the hat first which means we should have been the Saturday game, they were always meant to be the Sunday so why should they be moved instead? What’s the downside of playing at Murrayfield as opposed to Hampden? Hearts playing there recently means nothing, it’s not a daft 3G pitch it’s a top class surface which should suit us perfectly.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 19:00:31
And no reason from the SFA/ SPFL As to why it's the Celtic game that is going to Edinburgh.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 19:23:45
Surely as Pedro said it should of been a drawn out of a hat, only fair way and nobody could complain.

Agree2 Disagree1

03 Oct 2018 19:26:03
Its always been about 2 clubs rangers and now sevco.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 19:49:25
Kevdhoy we play in Europe also our game was never pencilled in for Saturday both Servco and ourselves were both for Sunday because of Europe we were first out the hat also so IMO we should have had the national stadium.

Agree2 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 19:53:47
Agree Tony the Sat was never an option the spfl have bowed to the klan.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 20:22:50
“IMO” is the key part tony seeing as you’re a biased supporter and therefore see everything from a Celtic perspective. The games were scheduled one for Saturday and one for Sunday BEFORE we knew who the 4 teams would be, so surely the first game out the hat would have been played on Saturday and the second on Sunday - unless it suited all parties to swap i. e. us or Sevco getting knocked out and the remaining EL team definitely playing on the Sunday.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 20:46:43
Maybe the Scottish Rugby Union didn't want Sevco's thugs wrecking their stadium.
You couldn't blame them.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 20:47:05
Kev; As I stated in the post - and others highlighted. It's not about Saturday/ Sunday switch - as both clubs have EL games.
It's about first team drawn given second choice venue.
Both semi-final games have merited Hamden Park for years, so they could easily have done that on consecutive weekends with minimum re-organisation of SPL fixtures as game is played to a finish.
This 'solution', also means we still have the scenario of four sets of rival fans attending volatile games on the same day.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 21:24:55
The point is Kev there should have been a draw atleast that way no one could claim biast. And yes I admit I do have green glasses but I stand by there should have been a draw for who was playing where. OPENLY.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 21:29:45
It's wrong to suggest first team out is the Saturday match as had it been Celtic v rangers and neither team was in Europa League then the tie would never be on a Saturday. All this moaning is going to serve no good we should be embracing this tie and not looking for excuses.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 21:54:05
Celtics statement is spot on!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 22:29:30
Jim if it had been us against them the game being moved to a Sunday would have suited all parties and wouldn’t have caused any issues.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 22:34:58
Didn't we use Murrayfield for home Euro games approx 3 years ago?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 23:14:07
I understand that kev but my point is that some people are wrongly stating we were first out and that has importance and it doesn't have any importance. Normally TV companies or police decide when we play but on this occassion I understand us going to Edinburgh as I stated why previously.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 23:26:08
From a fans point of view surely there's much more of a chance to get a ticket, there should be around 30-35 thousand up for grabs and more if they don't sell their 50%. I don't see the big deal with playing in Edinburgh.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 00:55:17
The problem withMurrayfield is that the groundsmen will have already started to let the grass grow long for Scotland's Home Autumn Internationals that start early in November.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Oct 2018 14:21:20
I don't think Murrayfield is a bad shout for a game to be played there. But I think a draw for each game would have been a fair way to do it rather than a desision behind closed doors. But now we have to just get on with it And hope that the powers that be will think in future to be seen as fair and not open them selves to speculation of biasness against a team. But I will not hold my breath for that one.

Would like to see Brendan go with a more cautious approach tomorrrrow night fed up playing with 2 wingers a striker and an attacking midfielder against good opposition and getting pumped. time to pack midfield and grind out a result even a draw. Gordon lustig Tierney boyata benkovic if fit brown mulumbu ntcham McGregor. on left Sinclair or Forrest on right loan striker.

03 Oct 2018 13:08:17
Has it been confirmed that Benkovic is fit for tomorrow?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 13:35:48
I would be happy with a 4-4-2 standard formation. Salzburg are in my opinion the best opponent we have in group, but can see us sneaking a win at home. Just think with all the negativity coming from media, Brendan and players will be fired up to say GIRUY.

Im quite confident about result tomorrow hope to God im not wrong lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 13:57:33
I think we need a change in formation period and not just tomorrow night. Domestically teams now know how we set up and play, that's why they sit in and it's a case of side to side passes for us. Our performances this season have been very flat with one or two exceptions. Think it's time the manager reinvents the team ( shape, tactics and style of play) . 👍.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 14:13:47
I’d go 3-4-2-1.

Gordon
Lustig Benkovic Boyata
Gamboa Brown Ntcham Tierney
Forrest McGregor
Griffiths

KT and Gamboa as wing backs.

Kevbhoy im beginning to wonder if in any formation we usually play if Gamboa would be better option than Lustig.

03 Oct 2018 19:16:14
Gamboa is chronic. Does it not sink in with anyone how bad he is when the people who see him train everyday would rather play Hendry or ajer at right back than gamboa?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 22:13:07
Malky, I care because the recent bias in the Scottish press has been the worst I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. One team in Glasgow has got nearly £20 million of debt, a convicted criminal at the helm, a contempt of court procedure against them, an investigation into falsification of a UEFA licence application, a rookie under 18 manager and an untried squad of dubious ability.

The other has a very sound financial situation and a very stable playing squad and board of directors. To add to that they have just completed back to back trebles. Can you guess which one’s in crisis? Now I hope that gives you some insight into why I care what the media prints with regards to both Sevco and us but I wonder if you would be good enough to explain why you see the need to question why I care about it?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 08:16:43
Just dawned on me the reason for our poor form this season! It's the socks, every time we change the socks away from white our forms poor, remember when we wore black socks a few seasons ago we were rotten 😂.
