If you’re going down, go down fighting!

I’m going to be brief for once, as there’s really nothing to say. My words mean next to nothing, Celtic will do their talking on the pitch, and no doubt give us plenty to talk about rendering a lead article virtually useless.

 

I don’t want this journey to end but chances are tonight is Parkheads last European foray for the season.
Chances are we get beaten.
Chances are the enormous gap in both clubs finances shows itself when the final whistle blows.
But chance itself is a fickle thing, never to be relied upon, but to be fully celebrated when it smiles on the unfavoured, the underdog, the lucky recipient. I’ve seen bigger clubs than Bayern walk away from East Glasgow stunned. Watched much better players than Harry Kane leave empty handed. Saw 11 heroes in Hoops leave European football shocked and bedazzled.

 

I’ve only one wish, and it’s not a win or even a draw.
It’s a simple wish.
It’s that we truly give them a proper game tonight.

 

If the Germans progress they progress, but I want them to be made to work for it, to be forced into digging deep.

 

Leave it all on the pitch Celtic, walk off that sacred turf knowing you truly gave it everything you had, and let the footballing God’s deal with the rest. If you go down, go down fighting.
We’re all behind you, you’ve made us proud.
God Bless you Bhoys.
You’ll Never Walk Alone.

I didnt realize you were born here. For some reason, I thought you were an immigrant like most of us here

I thought maybe Jota rather than Idah.
Still a strong team. Nice to have good options.

Why do most players these days wear crazy coloured boots, but most refs, physios etc. still wear black boots (and often the old Adidas Copa mundial)?

Poor penalty, risky putting it down the middle at that height.

Keeper did well to get out of the way of the penalty.
Never understand why keepers guess then dive.

Switched over to Celtic Park. Focusing on the Brugge game helped the nerves, but now they are kicking in big time!

C’Mon the Hoops! Make us proud tonight!

I always wore black boots, didn’t want to give the players any excuse to make stupid comments about my footwear. Even when wearing a different colour top, the boots were always black. I was happy to leave the multi coloured stuff to the players.

Here we go. Hope Greg’s been told not to make any suicidal cross field passes, and the defence as a whole are on it from the first blow of the whistle.

Celtic dropping way too deep …. Just had 8 across the 18 yard line and 4 guys chasing the ball carrier!

Let’s hope Kuhn, Maeda, Jota shake them up a bit in the second half. We need to hold out until then.

Unfortunately, we’re too slow, too weak and way out of our depth here.

It’s like us v an SPL team.
