Celtic have been beaten 1-0 by the Gibraltan team Lincoln Red Imps.

Can Scottish football fall any further?

I hope so…😃  
[BTW: **Knorf** , it’s time to start a new thread for next season… it’s shaping up to be a very interesting one…

A truly excellent start to the Brendan Rodgers era. You can fit the entire population of Gibraltar into Celtic Park twice over.

I had to look that up to see if it was real or auto correct gibberish.

There is a mod that opens the Gibralter League in Football Manager. Doubt that this result can be duplicated.

It’s always slightly irritating to me when you’re right.
