Alan McDonald's Glentoran side has missed out on playing Celtic
Glentoran's planned friendly against a Celtic XI at the Oval on 23 July has been postponed, BBC Sport understands.

The Scottish champions are now likely to fulfil a prior arrangement to play Donegal Celtic at Suffolk Road on the same date.

McCourt reveals Celtic move shock

McCourt was stunned to discover Celtic were keen on him
New Celtic recruit Pat McCourt admits he was surprised to be given the chance to join his boyhood heroes.

The 24-year-old winger last week agreed a three-year deal with the Premier League champions after Derry City were paid an undisclosed fee.

"It was a shock but a good shock," said a delighted McCourt.

"It's something that I've always dreamt about my whole life and to get the opportunity to come play for this club was unbelievable."

McCourt joined Rochdale at the age of 16 and attracted the attention of top English clubs before injury and a loss of form saw his career stall.

Hail! Hail!

Possibility mate if I can get a hold of a ticket. You know any contacts?

/anarchistmode

I believe in God, the Church and the Green Brigade and all things 1888

run_anarchistmode

I am an athiest and I work towards destroying the Mother Church

The Green Brigade are comedy gold.

 

[twistedAM]

Thanks for buying Samaras.
Pity Hughes didn't try to give you a BOGOF with Corradi.

 

[belboid]

just booking a trip to Glasgow with the in-laws for the weekend of the game against Aberdeen, and an escape plan seems in order, for a few hours at least. Are tickets always just £25? Bargain bloody price if so, less than some Tranmere games! Will i get one easy enough if I can talk mrs belboid round? Seems worth a visit to the park at least once

 

[lights.out.london]

You can usually pick up spares at face value in the car park from the supporters' club buses from England and Ireland.

No idea what this season's prices are, as I can't get up until October-ish.

Hail! Hail!

 

[lights.out.london]

Bollocks. Not a good day for the Hoops.

Miller? Meh.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Christ that was awful. Had Artur been on the piss?

 

[lights.out.london]

Too much Communion wine.

 

[Fedayn]

Christ that was awful. Had Artur been on the piss?

Aye, 2 Millers and he was donald ducked!

 

[lights.out.london]

Aye, 2 Millers and he was donald ducked!

boom! tish!

 

[inflatable jesus]

I know this might sound weird, and as it happens I am currently drunk, but on the basis of that ridiculous mess of an old firm game I think we're going to win the league again this year.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

I think I understand you. On a similar note I was hoping for an opening day draw

 

[lights.out.london]

After the disappointment of the last couple of seasons, including an abandoned day trip to Manchester to see the bright lights, I am proud to follow (Follow!) a team so sporting, in the Tradition of the Founding Fathers, that we gave our neighbours a much-needed headstart this campaign.

Hail! Hail!

 

[imposs1904]

Result!

How does it go? Super-Caley-Go-Ballistic-R*ngers-Are-Fucked

 

[N_igma]

Was great alright. Was watching the Celtic game on T.V. and all of a sudden the fans started going nuts towards the end, just knew Cally had grabbed one. Back on track for the league.

 

[rosa]

Result!

hahahahahahaha like it

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Was listening to the game last night and didn't initially catch that it was Caley who had been awarded a penalty. Just about fell off my chair when I did hear.

Not getting ahead of myself though, Celtic have disappointed us all plenty of times before.

 

[starfish]

Was listening to the game last night and didn't initially catch that it was Caley who had been awarded a penalty.

Thats not surprising considering. I dont think i can remember a penalty being given against them that late at Mordor ever.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

There was no doubt about it though, watched the highlights this morning. Dunno what Weir was thinking with the header that got him in trouble initially.

 

[starfish]

Just watched it the bbc site. That was fun.

 

[anchorage]

So once again only one team can win the treble. WE ARE THE PEOPLE

 

[starfish]

Wow, whats this. Is it a Lesser Spotted Urban Hun?
I thought they were extinct.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Don't try and engage him, you just can't get the "quality" you used to.

Bring back Nessie ffs!

 

[starfish]

Bring back Nessie ffs!

 

[Fedayn]

So once again only one team can win the treble. WE ARE THE PEOPLE

Funny how you weren't on here after the Caley Thistle game?

 

[imposs1904]

So once again only one team can win the treble. WE ARE THE PEOPLE

Think of it as less a 1-0 defeat to St Mirren in the cup, and more a 7-1 victory for Celtic over two legs.

Of course, typical Celtic means I have to grasp at that particular wispy straw.

I didn't think Celtic would win the league last season so I hope they prove me wrong again.
