Brilliant suggestion of ticket prices being £19 too.
Other than that I'm saying nothing after the last thread had to be locked.

Talk Celtic site has a thread here and they are definitely keen on the idea of a game.

And as an aside, could people keep their bickering to a minimum to prevent this thread being locked like the last one.

If it happens it may well work out like that due to Celtic Park holding more spectators.

Personally, I'd prefer it to be at Celtic Park.  Never one to miss an opportunity to visit Scotland.

Even if it is the east end of Glasgow you'd be visiting?  ;)

Was in Glasgow not long ago, there's loads to do there, like museums and galleries etc.

However, I expect everyone will be on the piss (me included). I'm not missing this game for the world if it happens.

Yeah, been there.  I will, of course, insist on a cople of days in Edinburgh to make the trip really worth while.

Yeah, I'd prolly stay there if possible. In fact its worth pointing this out:

The Edinburgh Fringe and Comedy Festival is on in August for the entire month. If this game happens in August, it's worth keeping this in mind when looking at hotels. Abandon all hope of getting one in Edinburgh.

Very good point.  Probably best to avoid August then.   ;)
