Wednesday night saw the return leg against Kaunas at Parkhead. Fair enough, the job was done the previous week in the away leg, where Celtic won 4-0, but that was no excuse for the dullest European game I have ever witnessed at Parkhead. A stroll in the park it was indeed, but the job was done and that's good enough for me.
The press attempted to build up Saturday's SPL opener at Dunfermline as some kind of derby match. There was talk of the violence which could 'erupt' and the 'Dunfermline Casuals' (eh?) who were going to turn up. Needless to say none of this happened.
On the feild, Celtic created a decent amount of chances to win the game but did not take them. This is simply not good enogh against pub teams like Dunfermline - who lie down to Rangers every single time they meet them. If this was in any doubt, they proved it on Saturday.
CeEltic need to capatalise on the position we are in. We have not signed anyone since Stan Varga at the end of last season, and we badly need to improve on the squad we have. Our defence is too shaky and the strikers have no decent service to provide goals. We will not last long in the Champions League with this same squad of platers who done so well last season. Get the money out, Bhoys.
Today, Johan Mjallby was declared fit for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Hungarias. John Hartson is also expected to start training with the squad on Thursday.
Chris Sutton will play on Wednesday night, we badly need him. If Celtic play the way we all know they can, we could possibly have this tie almost done and dusted by the end of the night.
On Saturday it is business as usual in the SPL when Dundee United travel to Parkhead. Concentration is needed, the ensure the Hoops get the crucial 3 points, and luck is needed if Aberdeen are to take points off the mankies at Pittodrie.
