Brown's Bhoys beat Brew.
Saturday’s early SPL kick-off featured reigning champions Celtic against Craig Brewster’s Inverness Caledonian Thistle side in what always promised to be a nervy encounter – the Caledonian Stadium rarely provides an easy away fixture, especially for a Hoops side that has been thwarted by the Highland outfit on numerous occasions.
After the tragic passing of Dundee United supremo Eddie Thomson earlier in the week, proceedings commenced with a minute’s applause in remembrance of a true football fan who will be missed not only by fans of the Arabs, but by Scottish football as a whole – serving as a sombre reminder of the more important factors in life. This celebration of a man who dedicated so much of his existence to the team he loved was adhered to in admirable fashion before...
Domestic Business Takes Centre Stage for Celts
'Always look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves'
A commonly used phrase and one not too dissimilar to the situation facing Gordon Strachan this weekend as Celtic return to domestic action against Inverness Caley at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium after an extended International break.
With another massive glamour tie in the offing next week against Manchester United, the juggling act of; squad rotation, keeping players fit, making sure others aren't too tired, keeping squad players happy AND not to forget making sure the 3 points are picked up, is this week's dilemma facing the Celtic manager.
Fortunately for Celtic even though Scott McDonald and Shunsuke Nakamura both faced daunting long haul trips to the Southern Hemisphere and back, there appear to be no new injury worries to contend with off the...

CELTIC'S FOREIGN LEGION
Georgios Samaras joins up with his top of the group team mates in Greece, hoping his rich vein of form for Celtic tempts Coach Otto Rehhagel to play him from the start.
Following up two good away wins with their first home game against bottom team Moldova on Saturday, the Greeks then host Switzerland on Wednesday.
The Greek squad will be aware of Switzerland's desire to prove their embarassing home defeat to part-timers Luxembourg was a one-off & will want to consolidate their two point lead with another six points from home wins.

Artur Boruc has been recalled by Poland Coach Leo Beenhakker, after the Dutch disciplinarian had suspended the Celtic goalkeeper for two games.

BHOYS BRIGADE
This Saturday, Hampden Park will stage the third game of Scotland’s campaign to appear in 2010 World Cup in South Africa as they play against Norway. After a desperately disappointing performance and 1-0 loss away to Macedonia, some pride was restored with a away victory against an Icelandic team inspired by Barcelona ace Eidur Gudjohnsen. Scottish manager George Burley will realise the significance that this next game holds – many pundits, including the heralded Billy McNeil, have already stated that a win is essential for our hopes of progression. Clearly much expectation will rest on the shoulders of Celtic’s team representatives if this requirement is to be fulfilled:
Defender Gary Caldwell, plagued by criticism in the past, has performed admirably in club colours over the last...
LEAGUE LEADERS.
On Saturday afternoon, Celtic put the disappointment of their latest European adventure firmly behind them with a comprehensive victory over SPL new boys Hamilton. Although a home victory was expected, the manner of the win itself will have put to rest many qualms concerning their league aspirations this season.
Manager Gordon Strachan persisted with Shunsuke Nakamura on the right hand side of midfield, despite a distinctly average performance against the Yellow Submarines of Villarreal - a decision that was to pay off as early as the 25th minute as he swept home the opening goal before setting up top goalscorer Georgios Samaras for a second before half time; this further continuing the Greek International’s rich vein of form since his permanent arrival at the Club during the summer transfer...
