Certainly hope so. Another Utrecht would be a catastrophic disaster but I don't see it arising.

In saying that we can't be complacent but if we don't get past the likes of Sion then we might as well withdraw from Europe for a few years..

I'm a lot more confident that we are ready to make some progress in Europe compared with this time last year. I think the team is a lot more settled and we know they can play good stuff when they turn it on. Only real niggle is the keeper at the moment, I hope they can still sort something out with Forster and Newcastle.

I'm actually happy that Rangers will be in the same comp, and I would expect they'll also progress. It adds a bit of spice when both sides are in the groups of the same competition, another incentive to try and keep progressing.

May the best half of Glasgow win!

Looks like Izzy will be out for a long spell, suspected broken ankle. Stretchered off at Pittodrie.

Such a shame with European ties coming up as well.

0-1 in the end, Stokes. Hard fought win there, Aberdeen while not being much of a threat were certainly tougher to break down than last season. Can't see 21 goals v Aberdeen this season!!

I think Izzy's injury affected the performance somewhat, seemed to struggle to create a bit after a pretty decent start. Will be good to have Brown back especially for away games like that.

henke · 07-08-2011 5:04pm

Right result but big blow about Izaguirre. Hope he is not out for too long.

ColeTrain · 07-08-2011 5:40pm

Didn't get to see the game today. Tough place to go so 3 points is what matters. Hammer blow losing Izzy alright, Wilson at left back is probably the way to go imo.

dartbhoy · 07-08-2011 9:32pm

A tough game for Celtic today but Stokes produced the goods again today getting his 2nd SPL goal of the season. Aberdeen made it very difficult for Celtic today with their defensive style of play.

Stokes after a great start to the season and after silencing his critics. Also good to see Zaluska keeping a clean sheet,it can only do his confidence the world of good. Hopefully Izzaguire will make a full recovery from that terrible injury.

Lawrence1895 · 07-08-2011 9:35pm

As always two sides of the coin. Three points and a lovely goal...but then Izzy. Hope he will come back soon

Fair enough he kept a clean sheet but come on he was never troubled this is a Sheep team that's not scored a goal this season

Izaguirre out for up to six months

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14436784.stm

premierstone · 08-08-2011 5:21pm

Nowhere in that article does it suggest 6 months is likely though, Lennon has said they dont know yet if he will need surgery and if he does it will be three months out minimum??

http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/265439-second-celtic-bid-for-grzegorz-sandomierski-rejected/

Celtic are “very, very far away” from meeting Jagiellonia Bialystok’s valuation of Grzegorz Sandomierski, having had a second transfer bid rejected on Monday.

STV has learned Neil Lennon’s side have again fallen short in the Polish club’s valuation of the goalkeeper, which is understood to stand at £2 million. It is also understood Celtic are currently giving consideration over whether to return with a third offer.

The international keeper was subject to an initial bid from Celtic last week and the SPL side remain in discussions with Jagiellonia, while Belgian side Genk are also keen to sign the 21-year-old.

Jagiellonia’s president Cezary Kulesza said on Monday that the Glasgow side were still falling short of that valuation in their offers, a statement confirmed by the Polish club to STV.

"Celtic's offer are very, very far away from meeting our valuation," a spokesperson said. "They will have to bid significantly more to sign the player.

"Celtic sent a second offer today [Monday] which was rejected. The first offer we received was on either Tuesday or Wednesday last week." STV understands that Celtic's first offer was less than the £650,000 quoted by the Polish media last week.

Speaking on Monday, Sandomierski’s agent, Radoslaw Osuch, told STV his client is eager to move to Celtic and the goalkeeper is ready to fly to Scotland as soon as they match his club’s asking price.

“Celtic are closer with their new offer but it is still not good enough for Jagiellonia Bialystok,” Osuch told STV. “Jagiellonia definitely want to sell him and it's just about who comes in with the best offer.”

“I know the people of Celtic very well and I know Grzegorz likes the club. He shares my positive feelings.

“As soon as Celtic match the £2 million asking price, we will be on our way to Scotland. I hope everything turns out well and I feel Celtic want him very much.

“Genk are bidding more so they have a chance as well.”

FFs grow up I never said anything about how many bids I put a news statement up

dartbhoy · 08-08-2011 7:16pm

It seems this goalie is keen to go to Celtic according to his agent. He has 3 caps already for Poland and is highly regarded over there. Looks like if they offer the £2 million they will get him however let's wait and see what happens,looks like Celtic are going to try and beat down that valuation some bit to get their target.

We rarely fully sell out these days, even tickets for Old Firm games tend to go on general sale just before it.

Just when I thought I'd finally gotten over Larsson leaving, he's back running around CP again. What a player we had there.

I'm away to cry in a corner for a week now.

Played a blinder tonight, grabbed a hattrick and set up one of Pettas 2. I honestly still think he could be banging them in for us. Even at the ripe old age of 39 :pac:

A legend and one of my all time favourite players. Had to change my avatar as a tribute to him

. Hope to change my username as a tribute to him soon too

I'd say it was a great night, I was delighted to hear that the money is going to help the famine victims in East Africa...I only recently realised how serious the problem has become, it is a very worthy cause and it's great to see football clubs and fans taking the human tragedy that is starvation seriously.

Kingdom Bhoy · 10-08-2011 10:13am

Cracking night well done to all involved.

Any chance for one in the away end ? :pac:

The most touching moment last night was, when Big John left the pitch...
