18/3/2008 Scottish FA Cup - Celtic vs Aberdeen

Celtic is looking ahead beyond this Scottish FA Cup live online commentary and radio telecast replay between them and Aberdeen and hoping that Rangers do their part and set up an Old Firm FA Cup final at Hampden to end the season on a high. This might not be the best thing to do as they still have to overcome the Dons tonight but one cannot blame the Hoops for doing so given their record against Aberdeen, including a recent 5-1 thrashing at Parkhead. Despite needing a late goal from Hesselink to salvage a draw and earning this replay at their own ground, there is certainly enough quality in the Celtic side to beat Aberdeen and then a semi final date with Queen of the South which certainly will not worry Gordon Strachan's side too much, even if they respect the First Division side for getting this far in the competition. They certainly know that on any day, a side like Aberdeen can always experience a time when they suddenly find themselves in top gear and push top sides to their limits. That was what happened at Pittodrie where the Dons could count themselves unlucky in some aspects to not have taken the tie.

Jimmy Nicholl faces some worrying injury problems ahead of this live online commentary and radio telecast Scottish FA Cup match between Celtic and Aberdeen but has instead tried to concentrate on trying to silence the fierce Celtic support early in the game with a goal. Definitely Nicholl would like his team not to repeat the earlier 5-1 thrashing they suffered against Celtic on the same ground in the league earlier but some of the positives from that same game was that they were not exactly played off the park but Celtic made all their chances count. Aberdeen showed what they were made off in the first meeting in this competition last week and had they converted some of their earlier chances, it could have been Aberdeen in the semi finals now instead of having to face this live online commentary and radio telecast Scottish FA Cup replay between Celtic and Aberdeen. Nicholl might also use some of the Celtic players' comments to fire up his players, and is also hopeful that a large crowd will not be present at Parkhead, which might be expected due to dropping attendances for cup games in Scotland this season.

UEFA Champions League 20/2/2008 - Celtic vs Barcelona

In what promises to be a bloody live commentary and play by play UEFA Champions League soccer match between Celtic and Barcelona as we bring you live streaming of the game, it could very well be a red filled night for Celtic to remember, for all the wrong reasons. Barcelona, the footballing aristocrats from Spain, arrive with a swagger at Parkhead, after slashing the lead of Real Madrid in the Spanish Primera Liga to just 5 points over the weekend, and with some confidence restored. Prima donna star Ronaldinho also scored and that bodes well, with other Barcelona stars like Samuel Eto and Lionel Messi also looking to hit their stride again after what has generally been a disappointing season and a half recently. Lionel Messi, in particular, will look to rip right into the heart of Celtic as he aims to be the top scorer in this competition, and we do see him scoring a few more in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the UEFA Champions League between Celtic and Barcelona.

A reason why Barcelona should do well is because the first letter of their name comes before that of Celtic's, so that's enough reason to believe they are at least one step ahead of the game. However, what should really prove to be the weapon in their arsenal in tonight's live commentary and TV telecast UEFA Champions League soccer match between Barcelona and Celtic, is that they simply have better talent and attacking flair on the pitch lined up against Celtic. No offense to Celtic, as they are a talented side themselves, with hard work and a tough side to break down being their strengths, but while they have qualified for the Champions League this round, they have generally looked out of their depth in Europe and just managed to scrape through to face Barcelona in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the UEFA Champions League between Celtic and Barcelona at Parkhead.

It would be nice for a Scottish club to continue progress through to the next round of the Champions League, but that hardly looks like happening especially in tonight's live commentary and TV telecast UEFA Champions League clash between Barcelona and Celtic. Celtic are an honest side, but they are not as popular in Europe and beating Barcelona might be a fairytale and a good media story, but nobody would pay to watch Celtic in the final against say, Fenerbahce. We're not saying that something funny would happen to guarantee that doesn't happen, but for Celtic to make it through, it will need a gargantuan effort from them tonight in this live commentary, live streaming and radio broadcast UEFA Champions League clash between Celtic and Barcelona.

Scottish Premier League 16/2/2008 - Celtic vs Hearts

Celtic is desperate to do well in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in this weekend's Scottish Premier League and look to try to win against Hearts at Parkhead as they are trailing Rangers and dropping further from the title race with some dodgy performances this season, even if they continue to be solid and the nearest challenger to Rangers' emerging dominance of the domestic game. Gordon Strachan has been found out to be an average manager once pitted against better soccer managers such as Walter Smith. From his days at Coventry, Strachan has only been blessed with decent budgets at each club he has gone to and therefore gotten enough decent players to scrap through. He also inherited a good team from Martin O'Neil at Celtic and displayed his shrewd mind by not fixing what was not broke and thus able to continue dominating the Scottish Premier League for a number of years.

However, with this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match at Parkhard in the Scottish Premier League between Celtic and Hearts, Gordon Strachan is slowly realising that players do age and with age, the ability to continue performing at the highest level would diminish. While this live commentary and radio broadcast Scottish Premier League soccer match between Celtic and Hearts should see another win for Celtic, it might not come as easily as it would have been in the past seasons. Most teams are now attacking Celtic with gusto and at times have managed to capitalise on a creaking Celtic team. It might be more of the same tonight although Celtic should still be able to squeeze out a valuable win to keep pace with Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
