HOOPS TO TAME THE VIENNESE WALTZ?
Current day Bhoys out to avenge 1984
25 years is a long time, in footballing terms it's an eternity. The times move on, players and management come and go, some are even forgotten, but mention the words 'Rapid Vienna' to Celtic fans of a certain age and memory loss is something you'll most probably not encounter.
November 7th 1984, Celtic Park. The Hoops entered the European Cup Winners Cup Second Round Second Leg tie against the visiting Austrians trailing 3-1 from the first leg in Vienna, but an inspired performance from Davie Hay's men saw the tables turned, the Hoops winning 3-0 and going through 4-3 on aggregate, or so it seemed...
The Austrians appealed to Uefa for the match to be replayed after one of their...
Celtic courting angry Algerian?
AEK Athens striker Rafik Djebbour is currently in training with the Celtic squad, having been told by his current owners he is free to leave the club if their asking price is met.
Djebbour – notorious throughout Greece as a troublemaker – has, seemingly, angered his existing employers one time too many. His decision to take a holiday without permission, much to the anger of his manager Dusan Bajevic, is the latest in a long line of transgressions. An argument during training back in May saw Bajevik fine the Algerian International, while Djebbour’s relationship with fellow team-mate Nacho Scocco is embittered following a reported...
McCourt and McGinn – Celtic’s World Cup Wing Wizards
Northern Ireland’s hopes of reaching the World Cup have been bolstered by the recent form of Celtic wingers Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt. While McGinn has already impressed on the International scene under Nigel Worthington – meriting his call-ups with some dazzling displays against Hungary and Israel – McCourt has only earned two caps in his International career, and it is clearly his performances in the last seven days that have earned him a place in Worthington’s most recent squad, announced this morning.
Two stunning strikes in two starts mean that McCourt is currently enjoying cult status at Celtic Park. His solo goal against St Mirren on Saturday was surely a strong contender for goal of the season, and while he openly accepts...
[FONT="]Mighty McCourt strikes again[/FONT]
Celtic have moved 4 points clear at the top of the SPL after a 2-0 victory over St. Mirren in today’s lunchtime fixture at St. Mirren Park.
The main talking point before the game surrounded McManus taking the place of the off form Caldwell in the starting line up and the fact that Paddy McCourt would be making his first start in the SPL, taking the place of the injured Aiden McGeady.
The game started with both sides being rather sloppy in possession, losing the ball far too easily. During the opening exchanges there was no need for either goalkeeper to be on the pitch as they remained untested in the first quarter of the game.

CHRIS TO CONTINUE WITH THE KILL-EN TOUCH?
Celtic will look to consolidate their lead at the top of the SPL on Saturday lunchtime as they make the short trip to Paisley to face St Mirren, In what will be the Hoops first return to the Buddies new stadium since the disappointing exit from the Scottish Cup back in early March.
Tony Mowbray's men, fresh from a comfortable 4-0 victory at Falkirk in the CIS Cup on Wednesday will be hoping to put some early pressure on rivals Rangers as they look to set the pace in their bid to bring the Championship back to Parkhead.
Mowbray made eight changes for that league cup victory in a bid to keep the squad fresh, and no doubt will have been impressed by some of the attacking play shown by the likes of Niall McGinn and Paddy McCourt, both of whom will be looking for a starting birth...
