Celtic began their pre-season preparations with a comfortable 2-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Goals from John Hartson and Neil Lennon were enough to give the Scottish champions an easy victory.

Celtic started brightly and broke the deadlock after just nine minutes with John Hartson marking his return to fitness with a goal.

Former Fulham loanee Bobby Petta created the goal breaking down left and crossing for Momo Sylla who in turn fed Hartson to fire home past Ross Flitney.

Sylla and Stephen Pearson went close to adding to the lead as Celtic continued to dominate early on.

Fulham came more into the contest as the first half wore on with Collins John testing David Marshall and Zat Knight heading over the top.

Fulham boss Chris Coleman changed his complete line-up for the second half and the alterations handed the initiative to Celtic.

Stilian Petrov and Craig Beattie were both denied by Mark Crossley before Lennon doubled the lead converting from the penalty spot after Petrov had been hauled down by Crossley.

Newcastle ended their tour of the Far East on a winning note with a penalty shoot-out victory over Kitchee after the game ended 1-1 in Hong Kong.

The Magpies had been beaten in a penalty shoot-out earlier in the week against Thailand, but they made no mistake this time scoring from all their attempts.

Newcastle were stunned after just 14 minutes when former Chelsea star Marcel Desailly, playing as a guest for Kitchee, headed home from a corner.

Another guest player for the hosts almost doubled the lead on 37 minutes when former Middlesbrough ace Fabrizio Ravanelli forced Steve Harper into a fine save.

Newcastle drew level on 63 minutes with new boy James Milner netting his first goal for the club with a fine strike from the edge of the area after being set-up by Shola Ameobi.

Neither side could find a winner in the remaining 27 minutes sending the game into a penalty shoot-out.

Both sides were successful with their first six kicks before Shay Given saved Cheung's effort allowing Aaron Hughes to net the clinching spot-kick.

Dutch land Scottish star

Den Haag have completed the signing of Scottish international Jamie Smith.
The 23-year-old has spent the last few days on trial and he has done enough to seal a permanent deal.

Smith has penned a one-year deal with an option for another two.

The Scot was a free agent after his contract at Celtic expired.

Smith is Den Haag's fourth major purchase this summer following the arrivals of Gill Swerts, Sjaak Polak and Jimmy van Fessem.

Thompson to miss kick-off


Alan Thompson looks likely to miss the start of the new campaign after picking up a nasty knock in Celtic's victory over Manchester United in Philadelphia.
The wide midfielder was forced off on a stretcher following a ferocious tackle from United starlet Chris Eagles.

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has now confirmed that the player is unlikely to figure in the club's opening fixtures.

''It's a blow because he could be out for a couple of weeks,'' O'Neill informed the Daily Record.

''Even though we have ten days or so until we start our season, I'd say right now it looks as though Alan is doubtful.''

Thompson needed six stitches to be applied to a deep cut below the knee but despite the recklessness of Eagles' challenge, the England hopeful is generous in his appraisal of the situation.

''I feel fortunate because if my leg had been planted on the ground when contact was made then it would have been a bad one,'' said Thompson.

''Still, Eagles is a young lad who went overboard and I can forgive him for that because we have all done it.''

Eagles has since offered an apology and puts the incident down to over-exuberance on his part.

''I was just excited because I've come up from the reserves and suddenly I end up playing against a team of Celtic's qualities and that was just great,'' he conceded.

yeah, they had coors light

Damn, it had a great last 10 minutes.

Some guy on Celtic missed a sitter in the last second(literally) of the match.

It ended 1-0 Roma with a header from totti.

well to be fair the roma squad was much stronger for the jungle jims than the squad they took for the hun game. also when roma played celtic it was in a massive packed stadium with live tv cameras but when they played rangers it was just on some farm :(
