Jealousy is bad thing. Your just peeved that Ibrox wasn't used for the internationals.
Scotland's first home fixture of European Championship 2016 qualifying against Georgia on 11 October will be played at Ibrox Stadium.

Celtic Park has been confirmed as the venue for Ireland's Euro 2016 Group D qualifier against Scotland on November 14.
You'll be in the away end I presume?

It must hurt when you see the Celtic Way and the improvements at Celtic Park whilst the inside of Ibrox rusts away. Is there still scaffolding to hold up the roof in the Broomloan? For obvious reasons it has been a while since I've been there so I don't know if it is still there.
Celtic Park was built on the cheap and you can tell. Not even the second best stadium in Glasgow and you know that's bad when Hampden is beating you to second place. Glasgow City Council can't change fundamental errors in construction without demolishing it and starting again.

Farid El Alagui, good signing for Hibs. Looking forward to seeing him.

Also can't wait for Euro 2016 qualifiers. So much hope for this campaign.

You must admit though, Celtic Park is looking great with all the improvements the council are paying for.

Meanwhile Ibrox is starting to look like the Pontiac Silverdome.

He's got a point.

Champions should get into the Champions League; non-Champions should have to qualify, if they must be there at all.

Good result and this boy Craig Wighton looks to be a player to keep your eye on. He did well in the Under 17s for Scotland.

It's a first competitive game for Celtic and they should come through over the two games.

If I was a Celtic fan I would be wary of the next draw on Friday as they look pretty ordinary so far

So it's Ronnie dialler is the correct pronunciation, looking at next round possible unseeded opponents Maribor and legia warsaw would be best to avoid

It was like watching a different sport. Sky sports could charge me double and I wouldn't complain after watching that.

Bit of a come down from the world cup - I think most in our local were having withdrawal symptoms well before half time.

How in the name of hell did that team win their league??

As for Celtic and their claim of being one of the big bhoys ... what a load of shite that claim looks now.

It is good to know that in the age of multi channel TV where the viewer can have the choice of hundreds of channels that wee obsessed Frankie was sitting in his bedsit watching the Scottish champions get a win in their Champions League qualifier.

I'd hazard a guess that they ended up with more points than their opponents.

Like I say though, that it just a guess.

I might have known you would have thought it was a great game. Your fans almost invading the park after scoring against an Icelandic team of fishermen, what's that all about? Leigh Griffiths playing as well? I guess money comes before principles. You remember and give his next goal a nice big cheer and join in his wee sing song about refugees.

Oh oh.

Somebody has forgotten to take their medication this morning.

Any comment on the The Rangers game? You know, the team you support.

We're talking about the competitive football, not a kick about. Will you be cheering on Leigh Griffiths?
