The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Another fantastic performance by Rangers. Keeps Celtic in the CL hunt for next year.

Good to stop the rot and even ended up finishing with the same amount of points as Man Utd from a similar standard group.

I'm not sure using Utd as yardstick of success is worthy of a post

What are the differences in the team valuations? My post was more about where Utd are at.

Would Celtic fans view themselves bigger than PSV and Copenhagen?

Watched the last 20 mins and tbf Rangers controlled it. Betis were rubbish and no better than a Hibs or Hearts. Better them in the Europa as they'll not win it but they could have reached the Final of the Conference if avoided Villa and in a one off game anything could obviously happen. Celtic with no distractions mid week now really need to get their act together.

0.2 down at ht. Quite rightly booed off. I could play up front today & offer more threat.

No surprise.  As poor a display as you'll see, especially at home.

The manager has clearly look control and it's only going one way. Hard to understand how a treble winning team has regressed in a few months.  Embarrassing.

Taylor and Turnball are very poor and quite a few not far behind them.

Lawell needs to go. Since he has come back in (I don't know how he has come back in), Celtic have went backwards.

Mightn't be much longer until Rogers goes also.  He's been a huge disappointment.

Just shows how good a manager Ange actually was, he had that team purring along, unstoppable in Scotland ... and now this, shambles .... upcoming game against Rangers takes on even greater importance than usual.  Going 4 points behind them is a possibility based on today.  Not to forget Livingston and Dundee, nothing is a given at the minute.

I see the Green Brigade are being let back in. About time too. I'm no fan but it was ridiculous banning the most uber fans in the Club from their own ground

Rangers have signed Fabio Silva on loan from Wolves from 1st Jan, he cost Wolves £35.6m

If he was shooting out the lights Wolves obviously wouldn't be letting him go, but still, a real quality player could run riot in Scotland.

Can they afford to pay out that much?

They might only be paying a small slice of his wages with Wolves paying the rest. Obviously he's not become a bad player overnight. Probably just didn't happen for him, whatever the reason, at Wolves. 

When you think of it, Celtic have had some poor signings over the years - Shane Duffy being a more recent one. Come from a solid club in the Premiership but it just didn't work out. Nat Phillips the same.

The problem for Celtic is their summer transfer signings has been brutal.  2 centre backs (bought for about £8m) and they haven't played much). Strange stuff altogether. 

The board need to get their act together pretty quick as there's a title race on. The panel is weak as it's been in over 20 years.

But something just doesn't seem right between Rogers, the board and the fans. Not all pulling in the one direction.

[marty34]

No CCV today. Disappointing but he's been injured on and off all year. Clearly his form has dipped under Rogers.

Set pieces will be crucial today. Celtic are poor defending them and not great at the other end in converting them. Hopefully that changes today.

A big game today but a win for either side would be a big boost.

Hoping for a win but a draw wouldn't be the worst result. Get 3pts again next week before the break and reset again.

Going for 4 cards, 2 or more goals and 8 or more corners...

If the weather is anything like here its going to be a wet slippery game, loads of mistakes and mistimed tackles

Lots at stake for both teams

[SaffronSports]

Good to be ahead at the break but we need to tighten up defensively. Rodgers either needs to scrap this passing along the back nonsense or go with a double pivot in midfield to bring in an extra option as we're under huge pressure from their press.
