11/08/07 - Away v Falkirk - 1-4
15/08/07 - Away v Spartak Moskva (CL) - 1-1
19/08/07 - Away v Aberdeen - 1-3
25/08/07 - Home v Hearts - 5-0
29/08/07 - Home v Spartak Moskva - 1-1 (Celtic win 4-3 on penalties AET)
02/09/07 - Away v St. Mirren - 1-5
15/09/07 - Home v Inverness CT - 5-0
18/09/07 - Away v Shaktar Donetsk (CL) - 0-2 - Poor performance all round by the hoops. Some good posession in 2nd half but couldnt undo the 2 early goals when the defence was asleep. Naka didn't want to be there, Wilson and Naylor couldnt cross the road. Killen looked menacing when he came on. McGeady didn't impress much when he came on. One to forget unfortunately and hopefully rectify in next games. Lets hope there's not gonna be a recurrance of normal away form in Europe.
23/09/07 - Away v Hibs - 3-2 - The poor football continues. For once it was Big Boruc at fault which is never really an issue. Once again, defence in tatters with Doumbe being the best by a long shot. JVOH looked wrecked again after about 30 mins and Strachan didnt excercise any other attacking options till it was too late
27/09/07 - Away v Dundee (CIS Cup) - 1-2 - Artur Boruc picking up man of the match so obviously over his uncharacteristic blunders last week. Kennedy back in defence, good to see and Riordan on the starting line up. Still would prefer to see O'Dea making a start, as he is picking up confidence scoring with the reserves on Tuesday. Killen getting 2 in that same 7-1 win over ICT for the reserves. Hopefully will prove a good option on the bench
29/09/07 - Home v Dundee Utd - 3-0 - McDonald clinching a hat-trick and Celtic website Man of the Match. Strachans move to put McGeady on the right wing proved an excellent decision. celtic return to the top of the table on goal difference 5 goals to the good
03/10/07 - Home v AC Milan - 2-1 - Cracking result against holders. Marred somewhat by Milans keepers antics at the end. However, solid defensive performance, some good moves in mid field, and what's more a good result to bring us first points in group.
07/10/07 - Away v Gretna - 1-2 - Poor performance against bottom of table Gretna. Gretna looked the hungrier right throughout the game. Scored in first half with free kick. Again have to blame Boruc for positioning of wall and he didn't even attempt to get it. Still, didnt give up, and on 85 mins and 90 respectively we clinched it through goals from Killen and McDonald respectively. 3 tough points but 3 none the less.
20/10/07 - Away v Rangers - 3-0 - Terrible performance by the hoops. Rangers dominated with Ferguson controlling the game. Few chances early on but midfielders never turned up and defence asleep for two goals. Sno giving away a penalty for a clumsy tackle to give the huns the 3rd. Disaster... Things may pick up big time for Wed v Benfica in Portugal
24/10/07 - Away v Benfica (CL) - 1-0 Yet again, failing to pick up away points. Poor away form in CL continues. On the defence for a lot of the game, and Boruc and the woodwork saving us a couple of times. Yet, Strachan still insists on playing one up front???
27/10/07 - Home v Motherwell - 3-0 Killen and McDonald start up front and pays dividends. Hatrick for McDonald and 3 easy points.
31/10/07 - Home v Hearts (CIS Cup) - 0-2
03/11/07 - Away v Kilmarnock 1-2
06/11/07 - Home v Benfica (CL) 1-0 Happy days. Great performance. MOTM in my opinion Aiden McGeady. Great goal and tormented Benfica all night
24/11/07 - Home v Aberdeen 3-0. Good focused performance. JVOH, McGeady and McDonald the scorers with McGeadys being the pick of the 3.
28/11/07 - Home v Shakhtar Donetsk - 2-1 What a night. Great atmosphere. Last minute winner by Donati. Celtics fate in their own hands now, just needing a draw next week at Milan
01/12/07 - Away v Hearts - 1-1
04/12/07 - Away v Milan 1-0 - Lost the tie, but thanks to Benfica beating Shakhtar, we qualify for knockout stages - Hail Hail
08/12/07 - Home v St Mirren - 1-1 -

Tommy Burns - RIP - YNWA |
by
Eoin McGuinness
Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died at the age of 51 after losing his long-running battle against cancer. Burns had been undergoing treatment in both Glasgow and France in recent weeks after being diagnosed in March of this year. In 2006, the former Scotland midfielder was treated for skin cancer but it returned two years later. He played for Celtic from 1974 to 1989 and was the club's first-team coach before being granted leave. A statement from Celtic said: "Tommy, a true Celtic Legend and wonderful man will be sadly missed by us all. Clearly, our thoughts are very much with Tommy's wife Rosemary and his family at this extremely difficult time."

Old Firm Condemn Season Extension |
by
Eoin McGuinness
RANGERS' and Celtic's chief executives, Martin Bain and Peter Lawwell, predictably led the charge of critics of the Scottish Premier League's contingency plans for the completion of a fixture list in disarray as a result of the postponement of 19 matches throughout the season.
The SPL chief executive, Lex Gold, admitted on announcing two different schedules – each designed to accommodate Rangers' fate in the Uefa Cup – that he had already been assailed by dissidents from all quarters over the plans, but he could not have been prepared for the savagery of Bain's outburst. Lawwell's follow-up, questioning the decision-making process and claiming that the integrity of the competition had been compromised, merely underlined the impossibility of satisfying all parties with any attempt to clear up the clutter.
Ibrox chairman Sir David Murray's first lieutenant railed against both SPL "models", one of which allows a four-day extension to the season in the event of Rangers reaching the European final on 14 May, the alternative ordering that the league programme be completed as originally designated on 18 May.
