CELTIC AND SCOTLAND'S FAITH IN ISLAM
14 year old wonderkid Islam Feruz has been tipped for a starting berth, ahead of Scotland’s under-17 encounter against Georgia this evening.
The Celtic youngster, selected for Scotland under a new FIFA eligibility ruling, made his debut as a second half substitute on Tuesday, making an instant impression. With the scoreline sitting at 0-0 the young man embarked on an inspired solo run, before delivering a magnificent 40 yard diagonal ball that was dispatched into the back of the net by fellow young Bhoy Callum McGregor.
Scotland under-17 gaffer Ross Mathie confessed that he “used Islam as a sub on Tuesday, so expectations did not become too much. He may well start (tonight) against the...
Fortuné Return Delights Mowbray
After 8 weeks out as a result of injury, Tony Mowbray was today thrilled to announce the imminent return of his marquee summer signing – Marc-Antoine Fortuné.
Fortuné, who suffered ligament damage playing against Arsenal back in August, was brought to the club not as a prolific scorer but for his all-round contribution. Although he struggled to get off the mark for the Bhoys – a handful of missed chances against Aberdeen on the opening day of the SPL season the most noteworthy – Mowbray clearly feels that Celtic have struggled in his absence:

Mowbray “expects a win” against Hamburg.
Celtic manager Tony Mowbray today intonated his belief that Celtic will triumph against German outfit Hamburg this Thursday.
While attempting to play down expectations and refusing to label the crucial encounter as “must win,” Mowbray stated “Hamburg, who are sitting on top of the Bundesliga are a different prospect (from SPL opposition.) That being said, we still expect to win. We will set up our team to try and get the three points which will put us in a competitive position in the group.”

Mowbray: “Ultimately not good enough”
Celtic’s failure - yet again - to win at home saw the Bhoys surrender the lead at the top of the SPL table to Rangers this weekend.
On an immensely disappointing afternoon with few positives other than a clean sheet, and the welcome return of Barry Robson, Tony Mowbray’s men lacked any finesse up front. Strikers Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras were starved of any quality ball from a midfield that, surprisingly, did not feature new acquisition Zheng Zhi.
Additionally, first-choice fullbacks Danny Fox and Andreas Hinkel again missed out,...
Celtic v Motherwell Official TalkCeltic Match Preview
Celtic will be looking to get back on the winning track when the Bhoys take on Motherwell at Celtic Park on Saturday after their loss to Rangers in the first Old Firm derby of the season. The visit of the Steelmen will have seen Celtic take on all of the current top 6 teams in the SPL, and Hearts, within the opening eight fixtures of the season as Mowbray pointed out a very tough start for the Bhoys.
“My view is that you have to play every team at some point, but when the fixtures came out, it did look like a very tough start for us in terms of league games.”
The international break has provided Tony Mowbray’s men with some much needed respite...
