Mulgrew made the first goal, bombing forward and putting a great ball in. Just goes to show how important it is to have ball playing center halfs, and just goes to show how lucky we are to have charlie!

And fair play to Lenny who spotted the talent that was there in the first place........green jhedi

thats us out then , must be true pob said last week he was going to lhfao when we get puped out. nae luck eejit . guaranteed another 8 euro ties this year. well done bhoys . if we had gone out this would have been sour grapes , but i can say it now. the pitch should not be allowed. and the ref was a joke, he gave them every 50/50 . before i go . come on pob . give us some respect , that team have not lost at home for 2 years and that includes schalka 04 last year . shamrock

Disagree the ref was a joke. Actually I thought he was alright tonight - I've seen worse in Europe and it was far from a scrappy game.

I just think it was a difference in playing climate if you know what I mean. I reckon the majority of decisions that went against us would've been ok in Scotland, and Wanyama's red may have just been a final warning as well over here.

Wanyama's 2nd yellow was a yellow whichever way it's looked at unfortunately. As for many of the others, especially involving Hooper, for me there was nothing in them but hey we won the match - onwards and upwards.

Shamrock before you go spouting about 8 more ties have you forgot about another qualifying round? {Ed007's Note - Even if CFC lose in the CL play-off round we go straight into the EL group stages. 8 more European ties, exactly as Shamrock said.}

The football pitch works both ways they wont have been used to playing on grass and as a proffesional you adapt or should adapt

What ?
You are an idiot. Read your post and think about it now.
Yorkiebhoy.

Of course they are used to playing on grass they'll be doing that every away game pmsl !

MurphyBhoy

I don't even know what you're on about Shammy. Think you got me mixed up with someone else.
P.O.B.

Well done bhoys, so so proud of a job well done, European football at Celtic Park till December. Right Peter crack the cheque book out!!!! HH Ed hope u enjoyed that as much as me {Ed007's Note - I did enjoy that, thanks.}

I hope you're right, would love a commanding centre half and a strong centre forward.

Not that keen on traipsing to Philly now for this glamour friendly against Real Madrid ~ Mrs E

Well done Celtic an Neil Lennon, good performance and result to keep us Europe for a good while longer! Thot the writing was on the wall with all the moaning about the pitch( albeit media/Lennon) usually back fires! Never mind, great win.....
Hopefully nice tie in the play-off ( seen the teams, still a bit to go but not great) and a singing or 2 now plz Mr lawwell

Officially Forrest isnt named as a sub? Have we made a huge mistake here?

I noticed that also, replaced with mcgeoch, hope its a tv mistake or we might b in deep s**t. great result tho............bhoywonder

Noticed that too. Surely we havent blundered........Stevie

Yes he was, a bear on the wind up i think. shamrock

Guys , come on the ref gets a team sheet

Celtic: Stokes, Ledley, Zaluska, Kayal, Forster, Commons, Matthews, Mulgrew, Forrest, Lustig, Rogne, Brown, McCourt, Hooper, Samaras, Izaguirre, Murphy, Wanyama ..

Premier Sports had McGeough in instead of Forrest

Radio Scotland also commented on the inclusion of McGeogh instead of Forrest. Murdo MacLeod also confirmed that the confusion seems to have emanated from McGeoch's inclusion on the teamsheet handed over before the game. Surely to goodness HJK or anyone else wont try to make anything out it!

Go Ledley, great ball from Mulgrew, feel I can relax now.

SSN are about to go live to Ibrox where they are saying Mike Ashley is preparing a bid for Gers.If true,does he not need to get rid off Newcastle first under UEFA rules regarding ownership of 2 clubs?

Jungle Bhoy.

Too quick off the mark,he is planning to invest.Ed,does the same rules apply regarding involvement with 2 clubs.

Jungle Bhoy. {Ed007's Note - The only time their will be a problem is if the clubs ever meet in competition.}

No idea but there's no denying - and let's be honest - that The Rangers F.C. are the bigger club. As for who he'd make more money from, well that's up for debate but I'd sway away from Scottish side. It's only a 10% share anyway so it's pretty much irrelevent. I predict The Rangers F.C. will be in administration this time next year, just like their predecessors. I just wish to Christ there were bookies taking bets on it.

Planet fitba has entered a new space time continuum.

Later today Celtic will attempt to edge past their Finnish opponents in the Champion’s League.

I won’t get to see the game as I’ll be over the Atlantic on my way to Philadelphia.

On Saturday Celtic will play Real Madrid there.

The term “glamour friendly” is routinely misapplied by sports hacks.

However, this is a genuinely glamorous event.

In Scotland now only Celtic inhabits this footie firmament.

The landscape has changed and we are now in an age of unipolarity.

Despite the  best efforts of the establishment Rangers are in liquidation row with no chance of reprieve.

Only the final paperwork remains to be processed.

I am amused, but not surprised, that the SFA’s “fit and proper person test” has been passed.

Moreover the “future financial information” forms completed by Sevco would, no doubt, make for interesting reading.

Once Rangers finally flat line the Post Mortem, which will be carried out by the BDO boys, is likely to be rather grisly.

Sevco has purchased the belongings of the condemned club and they seem to have convinced the Ibrox klan that nothing has changed.

That is not how FIFA and UEFA view things.

On planet Fitba, all IS changed, changed utterly and in Philly this week end and wherever green is worn we will know and the world will know that the good guys won.

Our day has come.

Just seen that Arsenal are lining up a bid for Ki after paying 16.5 mill for Carzola . I just hope Celtic dig in their heels and don't deal for any less than 10 mill for him or any of our first team players .Laudrup is looking for 15 to 20 mill for a player who has 6 caps and one years experience in the EPL compare that to Ki who's played in World cup ,under 20 world cup and European cups and has nearly 50 caps and is still only 23 . We must not sell our players or the club short..".."..DH

Just wanted to say big ff might be the best golie to throw the ball out of the box to start play, he can throw it far and on target. We should look/use that to do an attacking planed plays, with the type of pitch that they will play on this could be a good way of utilizing his throws.
Let's go bhoys! CL bound!

Noticed that myself,as soon as it's in his hands we should be flying at teams for a quick throw............green jhedi

Our team just don't do that and I don't know if it's down to NLs tactics. When opposing teams have a corner we don't even leave a man up and when FF gets the ball we stroll up the park with no urgency whatsoever . I'm also still worried about the zonal marking especially in European games

Wish they would use it more as I hate the amount of punts up the park that give away possession. The support can all see it so why not the coaching staff?

Charles Green last night...Yes, playing in the 3rd & hopefully 2nd div warrants SPL wages, fans turning up and not paying a cheap entry price & I also heard he had yet again another go at Celtic. Dear oh dear some just NEVER learn.

'It seems to me like the old days where there were 40,000 but only 20,000 paid and the other went god knows where' admitted the chief executive.

Rangers are believed to be paying wages higher than most 'Scottish Premier League' clubs to bolster their squad, but Green defended their signing policy.

'We've got to get players to the club for the next two seasons before the transfer ban will come in at the end of August,' he explained.

Mrs E (Celtic are not in your league)

Greens statement regarding Celtic(inaccurate by the way) was another desperate attempt to get on side with fans.The problem i can see is no fees will be gained when these players contracts are up............green jhedi

This clown Green is being controlled by Sally - The - Snake's hand up his bum.
Make snide comments during every interview about things he does not comprehend and get the bigots back on board before the next crisis comes along.
Here 5 minutes and will be forgotten in 2.

wonder if we've been scouting the olympics football?
yuki otsu from japan has particularly impressed me,
also i was told by an old pal that over the next few years japan will become a real force in world football due thanks to their youth development, might be good to get the new naka signed early doors :)

Naka was one of my favourites. Yes he divided fans, but only into those that know about football and those that did 'nt.

We had the new Naka in Mizuno and he couldn't cut it! We have an even better player in Ki, yet everyone wants rid of him.
