Well RD is going to be under the microscope wither the new additions and the run of games against the Dons and Jam Tarts, not to mention the Europa games. Fingers crossed he starts to know and pick his best side. Good luck to the new guys and wish them a successful debut and season. HH

Anyone else glad the internationals are done and we get back to the domestic games? Personally the international games don't hold my interest all that much but I hate how other fans of the national team instantly turn on the Celtic players.
Doesn't matter the result but if the player comes from Celtic then they are terrible and shouldn't be near the team.
Anyway glad its over and looking forward to the weekend and a positive result to go clear at the top of the league

Personally I cannot wait until October 8th when we play Poland. I am so disillusioned by the goings on at Celtic park right now I can't see much to get excited about for this season anymore other than these next two games and hopefully the play offs

I agree with you, I can never get too excited by International football.
I would personally rather do away with International breaks, play the league straight through, and then play all the International matches at the end of the season in one go. It might stop the club's fixtures being disrupted for meaningless International friendlies.

I remember the old days at Hampden when the 'Rangers End' picked the team and dictated the substitutions, so it put me off International football for life and I agree about getting back to the domestic season with Celtic asap.
We have a few problems of our own right now and a fair amount of new signings to bed-in with important games coming up.

Av never been to a Scotland game and never will. Got a couple of mates that go and are Celtic fans and they've told me there's still a lot of sectarian abuse shouted at our players. No way a could sit there and say nothin.

Something Timalloy posted the other day about where the funds raised from Jock Stein remembrance game has made me think a lot.

A very valid point was raised about the reluctance of PL to announce Celtic would match total funds raised and effectively double total raised. I fully agree, this should of been the case.

My point is the money raised is going to aiding refugees of Syria and helping them rebuild their lives which I am all for. My grief is though, who are the charities intially earmarked for donations raised that WILL miss out?

Just seems another opportunity for PL to look the bees knees, yet a mere match of funds raised like Timalloy suggested could of went a lot further. Biscuit tinitus at most degrading level

Have to agree with DN30 and timalloy regarding the refugee crisis P.L. should not be using this as a means to make himself look good in fact I believe he should be doing much much more football has the power to do a great deal of good.not to make yourself look good but because it's the right thing to do.I am sure many posters on this site if they traced their family tree would find that their ancestors had to leave there own country for much the same reasons.Strongly feel celtic as a club should take the lead in pledging all the help it can,I would like them to begin by donating the proceeds of the dundee game to the varies charities.I would also like them to drop the prices so that the match his a sell out,there are a lot of slogans around football clubs,A club like no other,let's show the world,it's not a slogan,more it is a FACT.

Evening Ed , It has been suggested that Scott Brown is carrying a knock / injury for a month or so now

Do you know if this is the case if so what thanks

{Ed007's Note - I don't know anything but I've heard the same rumours mate and let's be honest it wouldn't be a surprise would it? Although I think a lot of what's been said about SB in the last week or so is just a knee jerk OTT reaction to a couple of poor games he hasn't looked his usual self at all.}

Thanks Ed, yeah that's what I think mate when he is coming off the field he has the look of a man who cannot shake a niggle so to speak & looks pre-occupied with it

To the people in the camp who are looking to move him should get a grip! Do they think they are going to replace him "like for like" or another "rough diamond" who has played less than 50! games in their career?
