Season: 2015/16
SPFL CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUE
Venue: Palmerston Park

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH    0    HIBERNIAN    3

Scorer:  Cummings, Henderson, Boyle

My first visit to Palmerston Park in Dumfries and it was worth the trip to see Hibs inspired by loanee from Celtic, Liam Henderson put on a commanding display.  It was a beautiful day for football with a crowd of 2,745 watching on.

The large home terrace was soon empty after the game

Personal note:  2nd non-Celtic match of the season.  Only my 5th Doonhamers match.  Hibs total now 111 against 6 different opponents

MATCH 1621 - Thursday, 1 October 2015

Season: 2015/16
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - Group Stage
Venue:  CELTIC PARK

Celtic    2    Fenerbahçe    2

Scorers: Griffiths, Commons;  Viana de Santana(2)

A quality Europa League tie ends all square as Celtic squander a two goal lead.  This was the first time Celtic had faced Turkish opposition.  

Fenerbahçe included ex-Manchester United players Nani & Van Persie in their line but it was their substitute that caused Celtic's defence problems.

The formalities

Personal note:  117th Celtic match in European competitions.  First team from Turkey. Fenerbahçe are the 198th club I've seen.
