Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland will not be at next years world cup, which means most of Celtics players will get a summer break next year. Despite a valiant effort from Mikael Lustig, his Swedish team should be. Lustig also limped off during the Ireland -Sweden game, and it wasn’t until this morning that it dawned on me that he had been stretchered off against Dundee Utd and shouldn’t have been playing anyway.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the tv pictures from that game were misleading. I’m sure I read something about that in the week.<\/p>\n
England are still in with a chance, although noticing that they finished their game against Moldova with four Scousers in the team could mean that if they don’t win the World Cup, they plan to steal it.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the Commonwealth games is next summer, which might give us something to have an interest in. The Running Jumping and Chucking things competition will be held in Glasgow next year, and that will no doubt make a long summer seem even longer.<\/p>\n
One thing that was apparent last night after watching the Scotland game was that Charlie Mulgrew can play central midfield, in fact, he plays it very well. Mulgrew was completely unfazed by the presence of frizzy haired Belgian Felliatio ( I think thats his name ) who recently joined Manchester Utd for millions and millions of pounds after new manager Davie Moyes utilised the English clubs world wide scouting network \u00a0to bring him to Old Trafford, and more than made a contribution alongside Scott Brown, who was his usual inspirational self .<\/p>\n
According to manager Gordon Strachan, the Belgians had the edge in ” Speed , strength and height ” but he could have asked no more of his charges. To be honest, any country playing Scotland should have the edge over Scotland, unless Lilliput get a team together<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Scotland should now finish last in their group, and Craig Levein probably knows now why he still hasn’t got another job in management.<\/p>\n
Back to Celtic, and Kaka, Messi, and a host of others have been singing the praises of the atmosphere at Celtic Park, having both experienced it before and both are looking forward to doing it again. Messi called it the best atmosphere in Europe, Kaka was glad to be back at Milan so he could experience it again, while Ronald de Boer is looking forward to hearing that song about him and his brother again.<\/p>\n
Stilian Petrovs charity match tomorrow is now sold out, which is great news for his charity, and it also means that those attending will have a great day out watching the likes of Henrik Larsson, Lubomir moravcik and all those others who are fondly remembered for their time at Celtic. Chelsea captain John Terry is also playing, and this will give Celtic fans a chance to thank him for the role he played in the 1967 European Cup win. \u00a0He will not, however, be endorsing his own new business venture.<\/p>\n

Jim Spence has hinted that the BBC will not take the recent outburst of \u00a0Second Rangers supporters lightly. The stubborn fans who \u00a0don’t think their club died are still going around in denial and shouting at anyone who says otherwise.<\/p>\n
The BBC may well be taking them to task. We have been given an advance copy of their statement..<\/p>\n
” Gies peace. Your club is dead. ”<\/p>\n
It might get a bit urgent soon, as they say in old London Town, and I, for one , can’t wait.<\/p>\n
Glenn Gibbons, writing in the Scotsman, gives his thoughts on a few things today, and they are something that won’t go down too well in the McCoist household. The article is a little too close to the bone in its summation of the great man, and all the funnier for it.<\/p>\n
