Celtic’s Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura looks set to miss next week’s key Champions League fixture against Milan at Celtic Park. Apparently Naka has been playing on after injuring the outer ligament of his left knee during the tie with Spartak Moskva a few weeks back. Says Naka, “Its only painful when I try [...]
Category: Hibernian 3-2 Celtic–Boruc Blunders
By: JT | 7 Comments
Celtic were defeated by Hibernian at Easter Road yesterday when world class keeper Artur Boruc made two uncharacteristic blunders, gifting the Hibees a 3-2 victory. Whaddya gonna do? The man has saved Celtic so many times that its almost impossible to count. Freaking out about this one match is nonsensical. Even [...]
The Celtic/Hibs Relationship in Song
By: JT | 2 Comments
I’ve always thought of Hibs as Celtic’s little cousin to the east, with the Irish/Catholic roots and all. But since about half of the current Bhoys seem to have played their most recent club football at Easter Road, the description detailed by the supporters here seems a little more apropos:
It’s bounceback time baby! [...]
Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 Celtic: That Sucked
By: JT | 5 Comments
A technically superior Shakhtar Donetsk side dismantled a poor Celtic 2-0 at the Olympiyskiy Stadium this afternoon. The Celts were down the two goals within the first eight minutes of the match, and I wish I could tell you that they were even steven with Shaktar after that, but that would be complete bull [...]
Shakhtar Donetsk-Celtic: Ding Ding
By: JT | 4 Comments
No one says it better than Apollo Creed. In a Champions League group that is full of matchups with old adversaries, its appropriate to recall that great scene at the end of Rocky III.
The more I look at Shakhtar Donetsk, the more intrigued I am by them. Six Brazilians, a Mexican, an Italian [...]

By: JT | 1 Comment
Celtic spanked a spirited Inverness Caledonian Thistle side on Saturday 5-0, with the goals coming from a variety of sources, snatching top spot in the league along the way. It was the perfect warmup for the trip to Ukraine to take on Shakhtar Donetsk in the first match of the Champions League Group Stages. [...]
The Traveling Celts: A Great Week
By: JT | 3 Comments
Its been over twenty four hours since Scotland’s fantastic 1-0 win in Paris over France, so I find it positively incredible that we haven’t heard from Ian at the Scotland Offside yet. It must mean he’s having one hell of a good time, or recovering from one hell of a good time.
I [...]
Is It Over Yet? No? Back to Sleep Then
By: JT | No Comments
Word from Celtic Kingdom has been conspicuously missing on The Offside these last few days, primarily because international football other than the actual Euros and World Cup Finals are pretty much meaningless to me. Can’t we force the minnows to qualify just to get into the qualifiers and eliminate some of this crap that [...]
Scott Brown: The New Gazza?
By: JT | 2 Comments
The man of the moment for the Celts, and probably for Scotland, is midfield dynamo Scott Brown. After dashing displays in the SPL, hard man performances against the likes of established international Egor Titov of Spartak Moskva in the Champions League, and rumors of a £9m transfer to the English game, Brown’s name is [...]
Celtic Shorts 09.06.07–Seriously, 19-0. Not American Football Either.
By: JT | 3 Comments
Celtic news is so tough to come by at the moment that I’m actually going to report on the club’s U19 match last night in Italy. And what a match it was. The Bhoys hammered Italian side Cambiano by the absurd margin of 19-0, and to top that off the match was broadcast [...]
