    Celtic at Murrayfield?

    Just seen a story in today's Metro that Celtc may ask to use Murrayfield as a temporary home next season due to the Commonwealth Games. Personally I'd tell them to piss off but any thoughts on them playing in Edinburgh?

    I'd imagine the local residents will be delighted at this news!

    The Commonwealth games are only on for a week and a half at the end of July / beginning of August. The SPFL can just give them two away games in a row.

    Champions League qualifiers - assuming they win the SP!

    Think the main problems are CL qualifiers and the state of the pitch

    I'd let them - it'll open up the possibility of fitba being played there as opposed to the Hampden.

    Am not advocating the use of it all the time but it'd be nice to have the option.

    I thought it was just the opening ceremony that Celtic Park was being used for?

    I'm genuinely surprised that Celtic aren't considering the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

    They wouldn't be allowed to use it for a European game.

    The SPFL wouldn't even have to do that as Celtic will likely request a postponement of one of these fixtures in favour of some pointless friendly

    I can see this ending up as a decision for Police Scotland and I'd imagine that Celtic will get, what Celtic wants...

    ....personally I'd tell the Lesser Greens tae bolt.

    I've no problem with this. Murrayfield is a far superior stadium to Hampden in my view and should be used for National football as well as rugby and anything that helps the case for football being played there is good in my book. Always found it ridiculous that our national stadium is not in the capital city.

    If I was a celtc fan I'd be able raging, but I assume celtc must be getting an enormous swedge for this. Other than that, I don't know why celtc would forsake darkheid, giving up their home ground advantage, esp when it's only for use for a ceremony at the commie games, as compared to the 3rd or 4th biggest sporting tournament in the world, ffs!

    No way ... bad enough that there are glory hunters heading along the M8 from Edinburgh to watch that lot every other Saturday without giving them the chance to watch a home game on our bloody doorstep.

    Hell I got bent out of shape when Newcastle Utd placed an advert in the Evening News a few years back inviting folk to buy tickets for some minor Europa League tie. Bloody cheek !!!

    As for Murrayfield itsself .... I was firmly in the play football at Murrayfield camp until I saw Hibs v Barcelona there ... it aint a football stadium.

    Simplest solution is for ICT to win the league this season and then Septic won't have to worry about the Champions League.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.
