Who wants a "war criminal" running their club? Not Celtic supporters, as the BBC reports. Celtic's

Before the Bosnia-Croatia friendly even began yesterday, a total of about 80 fans, 40-a-side,
clashed in front of a cafe in Sarajevo. Four Croatians and one Bosnian were taken to the hospital
as a result of the brawl that featured bottle and chair throwing. A total of fifteen 'fans' were
arrested.
During the match, police had to intervene as about 1,000 visiting Croatian fans threatened to
attack the home fans.
Norway vs. Greece, Ullevål - Oslo
Every group so far seems to have an incredible match and this one is no different. First place is
at stake and because Norway has a game in hand, it means much more to them. Leapfrogging the Greeks
means that the Turks home tie with Greece on October 17th will cost one or both of their opponents
points, essentially rendering the game-in-hand of their closest competitors useless.
Turkey has the most to gain this Saturday when they travel to Moldova. The Turks can take over sole
possession of second place in the group with a draw, but with a win and a Greece draw or loss,
could even find themselves on top. The problem is, even though Moldova sit at the bottom of the
group, they are still a formidable opponent at home having yet to lose by more than a goal there so
far.
There are three matches in this group tomorrow:
Malta vs. Turkey, 1230 EST
Ta' Qali - Ta' Qali
Moldova vs. Norway, 1300 EST
Zimbru - Chisinau
Hungary vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina, 0900 EST
Sóstói - Szekesfehervar
All three matches pit a team with a substantially better chance of qualifying then their host
country.
