Title: Celtic fans Post by: WarBwastard on July 16, 2008, 11:16:18 PM What sort of a team will play against Southampton on Friday? Anything like full strength?

Would imagine most first team players will make an appearance as its our first pre season game.

Title: Re: Celtic fans Post by: WarBwastard on July 17, 2008, 12:02:49 AM It's a testimonial right, but I read somewhere Celtic only agreed to play if it was a competitive game for professionals only.
I appear to have bet on this game, although I don't remember placing the wager. Possibly I was under the influence or had eaten some poorly cooked sausages. Either way, I hope Celtic do take this game very very seriously indeed. Very seriously.

The game's on Setanta AFAIK if we get an early goal I'd be laying quick to cover your bet. If we play a good English team at their home it's very different from Portsmouth/Southampton/Fulham/QPR - we've at least drawn with all them in the last few years as I remember. Title: Re: Celtic fans Post by: Maxriddles on July 17, 2008, 02:10:06 AM As a Rangers fan I'm reluctant to bet on Celtic at the best of times but in a pre-season game I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. They may well rule the SPL at present but there are few teams who have done as badly as Celtic in pre-season friendlies in recent years. It's just a shame that the never seem to carry their pre-season form into the league season.
