Scotland and Norway



Scotland and Norway go head to head tonight in a Europa League match between Molde Fotballklubb and Glasgow Celtic.

Molde are top of the group with 4 points while Celtic are on 2, so it might be a tight contest in the home side's Aker Stadium which is on the west coast of Norway on what appears to be the same latitude as the Faroe Islands.

The blog site has a lot of regular visitors from Norway and if any of them are heading to Glasgow for the return leg at Celtic Park on Thursday 5th November, then get in touch because maybe we can meet up!

Scotland and Norway (26/01/15)



Here's another curious link betweenScotland and Norway which revolves around the latest 'wunderkid' of world football, a young 16-year-old Norwegian called Martin Odegaard who has been signed by Real Madrid.

But Martin's chances of breaking into the 'Galacticos' first team straight away is very slim, so the Celtic manager Ronnie Deila, another Norwegian who gave Martin his first big break at Stromsgodset, has stepped in to suggest an audacious loan deal with the Glasgow club.

Now I'll believe it when I see it, but who knows because if you don't ask you don't get.

Although I'm sure Real Madrid will have to agree to pay young Martin's wages if Martin does  come to Scotland - because he's allegedly paid around £80,000 a week and that would definitely break the piggy bank at Celtic Park.
