[It] merely confirms the the long held conviction that, in sport as in many other professions, the largest conceits are driven by the smallest talents.So said Glenn Gibbons in yesterday's Scotsman. On this occasion Glenn was talking about Kris Boyd. But how appropriate his sentiment is for one of Boyd's Old Firm colleagues. Click to continue reading...

On Wednesday night in London the footballing world was rocked to its core as Croatian striker Eduardo (if that is even his real name) invented a form of cheating so insidious, yet so innovative and breathtaking, that many in the stadium, and across the world, were driven to tears by anger, despair and incomprehension.

by STUART WATSON Most papers lead with previews of tonight's match versus Celtic with a couple of other stories thrown in about atmosphere at the new ground and Arsene Wenger speaking about the progress of William Gallas.

The Sun WILLIAM GALLAS has put last seasons ill discipline where he was stripped of the captaincy behind him.

The fickle ways of football fans have always been a source of much amusement. Love him, hate him, love him. The average supporter has the same loyalty as a 13 year old girl swapping boybands.Even with this background though the strange case of Gary Caldwell still astounds.Much criticised for gaffes, unable to get a regular start in his favoured position.

So Arsenal became the first team to win at Celtic Park in Europe since The Eunuch Fusiliers in 1878. A 2-0 win leaves us in a very good position for the second leg.

Much was made of the famous atmosphere but when the TV cameras panned across the teams as they lined up on the pitch it was clear it was the home team who looked nervous.

It promised to be an intense match and it certainly was. Celtic came out swinging; Arsenal were denied space and time on the ball but just as Arsene has said, this group of players can handle the raucous atmosphere and they applied their skills and determination to good result.
Neither of the goals were pretty but I'll take both of them because it makes the job so much easier in the second leg at home. Click to continue reading...

Slick Arsenal put Celtic to the sword
Full Article

The speed and movement of Arsenal hurtled them into the group stage of the Champions League. A recovery at the Emirates next week is inconceivable for Celtic. Their supporters had relished this occasion from the moment the draw was made, but it is a sign of the visitors' excellence that it is now a night to be forgotten.

Okay performance, great result. But how many times over the past few years have we had the exact opposite, when you've said, "we were the better team, but didn't get the win?" I'll take this over that any day.

We didn't create as many chances as usual, but give Celtic some credit. They're a good team, and present a very tough match-up at Parkhead.

A well struck free kick by Fabregas inadvertently hit William Gallas on the back and took a fortuitous deflection into goal but even if it had not there was an outside chance that the shot might have been able to evade the hands of Artur Boruc. The second goal was an own goal as an unfortunate Gary Caldwell diverted a Gael Clichy cross past his own keeper.

It was not pretty but a deflected William Gallas opener and second-half own goal from Gary Caldwell put Arsenal firmly in the driving seat in this UEFA Champions League play-off tie as the visitors earned a 2-0 victory against Celtic.

The home team had more than matched Arsène Wenger's side for the best part of 45 minutes in Glasgow before Gallas deflected Cesc Fà bregas's free-kick into the net just before the interval.

Arsenal will take a 2-0 lead to The Emirates after beating Celtic 2-0 at Parkhead.
After an Arshavin effort was ruled out for offside. A wicked William Gallas deflection of his back from a Fabregas freekick, gave the Gooners the lead, and then a second half Gary Caldwell own goal doubled their lead, leaving an up-hill task for Celtic in the second leg.

Arsenal beat Celtic 2-0 at Celtic Park, all but assuring their qualification for the Champions League group stages, with two away goals. It was not the presiding effort of their 6-1 away win at Everton, but the two deflected goals – from Gallas and Gary Caldwell's foot – fulfilled the requirement in what was arguably the most important match of the season.

Football can be a cruel sport sometimes and it was certainly cruel tonight under the floodlights on a warm evening in Glasgow. Two strokes of luck have almost ensured Arsenals progress to the group stages of the Champions League as they overcame a stubborn Celtic side 2-0.

Celtic had started brightly enough; playing a 4-5-1 they restricted Arsene Wenger's fluid passing and movement and, while not creating much in the way of chances themselves, they contained Arsenal as best they could.

We travel to Celtic Park tomorrow for the first leg of our Champions League qualification fixture.
