NEIL LENNON and Willie McStay will take charge of a strong Celtic side against Derry City tonight (Tuesday) in a special match to celebrate the Irish club’s 80th anniversary. Arranged as part of the deal that brought Paddy McCourt to Glasgow during the summer, several first-team stars have travelled to Ireland for the glamour showdown Brandywell Park. With many of their team-mates on international duty across the globe, Glenn Loovens, Marc Crosas, Darren O’Dea, Paul Caddis, McCourt, Massimo Donati, Koki Mizuno and Mark Brown could all be involved in the friendly match. Speaking to www.celticfc.net, Derry-born McCourt predicted that the SPL champions will get a huge welcome as a capacity crowd turns out to see the Hoops. He said: “There’s been a lot of interest back home in the match and it will be a great occasion for Derry City as they celebrate the club’s 80th anniversary. “I’ve still got a lot of friends at the club and it will be good to go back as a Celtic player. It will be a cracking match because Derry are a top side and will make it hard for Celtic. “I think the club are expecting the stadium to be packed and it should be a really entertaining match. It’s been a while since Celtic last played there, so everyone is looking forward to it.” Provisional Celtic Squad: Fox, M Brown, Caddis, Conroy, Marr, Lafferty, Loovens, O’Dea, Ferry, Crosas, Donati, Millar, Cawley, McCourt, Hutchinson, Mizuno, McGowan Will try and stick up a few photos later at some stage....

We run down, Match was utter crap as expected for a friendly, Derry had no first team players on as they beat Linfield last night 3-0 in the Setanta cup..:cheer: , Celtic Played well in the first half and then just farted about for the second as they had no real challange from the Derry's reserve and youth players, Donati, And Loovens ( 90mins) played at the back along side O'Dea ( 75mins) and Caddis, McCourt played but looked realy unfit, Crosas was outstanding in the middle joy to watch, Mizuno played well but no harm looked realy light on his feet and was easy brushed of the ball all night by the young Derry left back, McGowan the same won nothing up front, Ben Hutchinson look the part all night and realy stood out, And produced the only goal of the game with a stunning freek-kick, Donati, no harm the guy needs a free transfer, Never won a tackle and every pass he hit went stright to a Derry player, Also have to give credit to the Celtic fans who made the trip, There where a good 150-200 lads over from scotland and they sung there hearts out and realy made a good atmos with the Derry fans, Also fair play to the green brigade for there nice flag display. ![]() Derry 0 v Celtic 1 F.T. |
