We've picked up 12 points from a possible 27 away from home this season, when things are going bad there's not enough players willing to or able to get us back on track, really need to improve the squad in January or the unthinkable could become a reality!!

With their available resources, Celtic should be winning this by 10 points every season. If the Huns beat them to the SPL this year the board may just sack Brendy and all the players and start again.

Could've been better, could've been worse. One thins sure we will need to play better than in last two games.
Good news is the winter break is coming up and we may have new players in place by the Valencia tie. Always the optimist.

Valencia will maul that Celtic Team, Brendan seems to have lost his way, no-one will want him either if he can't win the SPL given the difference in resources so Celtic are stuck with him. Needs to ring the changes in January.

Looking at Valencia's La Liga form, they look to be a difficult side to beat. But their 3-10-3 record from 16 games would not make them a team not to fear. Thing is Celtic are less than average in Europe, especially away.

A lot of Celtic's problems stem from Craig Gordon in goals. Would prob take a draw here and at ibrox, then get a few decent players in January.

Also can't see how that was a penalty for Aberdeen and that was a disgraceful tackle by Niall McGinn which only merited a yellow.

Clearly a pen. Took the legs from under McGinn in the box. No controversy whatsoever.

Celtic playing like they want to be somewhere else. Scored early goal and have tried to coast ever since. Some of Boyata's passing is Sunday league level.

Hopefully a bit of the hairdryer from BR will get them back on track second half.

Izaguirre is a liability - he's a 2nd rate left back at this stage. Only came back to Celtic as a cover player and is poor enough. 

Kieran Tierney is a big miss.  I'd be hoping he's back for the Old Firm in a few days.  BR mustn't have wanted to take a chance on him today.

Gordon wasn't at fault for any of the goals today but other than that he was shite, made an arse of himself with trying to be fancy with a turn and then had to loaf it out for a throw in afterwards.

Edouard looks hungry to be back at it anyways and a hat trick for Sinclair hopefully is the fabled return to form we've been waiting for.

He's brutal. Hayes looked much better. Eduard made some difference when he came on. Aberdeen 2nd peno was ridiculous

Targetman

A good win today but we were poor enough at times, Sinclair coming into a bit of form and a big performance from Edouard when introduced, roll on Saturday and hopefully put Gerrard and that shower in their place!!

Aberdeen had one main tactic, to disrupt and hack at us the whole match. May was only on the pitch to niggle at our players it seems, McGinn should have had a red, as should Cosgrove near the end, first was probably a penalty but I'd wager we don't get that one, the second was a joke and gave them a lift again when we had them reeling, they hardly had the ball in the second half until Celtic scored the fourth.
Gordon isn't great, Izaguirre works against less robust teams only, Edouard needs to start against rangers.

How Wiilie Colum continues to get matches at this level beggars belief.

How McGinn stayed on the field is a mystery - especially with the view the Referee Willie Colum had?
