Genius from Rodgers. That game was never a 1-0. It was 1 going on 6/7

Rubbish having to wait until the dying minutes for a winning goal against a crap team.

A 1-0 hammering if ever I saw one. Some sublime attacking football, Rangers goalie MOTM by a long stretch.

That was a very enjoyable game, better I thought than the 5 goal drubbing. A nothing league cup semi final was transformed into a full throated hamden cup final atmosphere.
Brilliant light touch goal.
Was that the Celtic fans en masse singing 'Grace' during the 2nd half?

Strong display should have had 2 or 3 but will take that all day long,simunovic thought was quality today brown also, hail hail!

was a 1-0 hiding.

We should not have had to wait until the 87th minute for a winning goal,given the territorial advantage,thus risking the always threatening scenario of Rangers nicking a goal in a rare foray.It is up to the manager to ensure confidence and composure and put games like this to bed early on.

Well done Celtic today good performance...kept going and got the goal there play deserved better team by far.

When you consider how average we were in April this year there has been progress. The teams in our ECL group have significant financial muscle and quality in their ranks. Sevco are going nowhere and could be headed for another insolvency.

Rangers' presence does have a beneficial effect in the SPl, means the competition is more intense for the 2nd. 3rd and 4th spot, resulting in a better standard of football in the league

T Fearon · October 23, 2016, 11:58:46 PM

If Roberts had scored the open goal missed in the April semi final,Celtic would have won by a single goal (maybe more as Rangers might have imploded) same as they did today.Is this progress?

Another excellent performance today against Rangers and though it didn't show in the scoreline, the performance was very good I thought, as good as the earlier 5 goal rout. It's good to have a Celtic side back playing entertaining front foot football and it has been a breath of fresh air watching them dominate the Scottish scene this year to date. Rodgers has the club positively buzzing again and all credit to him so far for having achieved every objective to date.

Mighty performance. On top of results, Rodgers has exceeded his brief by building a team playing in a manner befitting generations of Celtic teams - they are really enjoyable to watch.

Roberts didnt. We didnt win. Added to that we were awful. So, yes, it is progress

I have to say some of the football yesterday in the second half was as good as ive seen from a Celtic side in years.
The fast pace movement of the ball and high pressing is great to see compared to some of the drivel over the last couple of years.
I thought Simounovic was outstanding yesterday as was rogic and tierney.
You would have to question the lack of quality in the rangers team in relation to their budget this year.Some of the old heads seem to be carrying them like miller and wallace which says something.

Away to Ross county in midweek wont be easy would be hopeful of three points though to keep the domestic momentum going.

With all the midfielders the previous manager brought in we are still lacking in quality in that area. Bitton was woeful against the germans and was a passenger yesterday.
If sinclair and forest get injured you are looking at roberts and armstrong with very little back up after that. In fact if Dembele and griffiths got injured we are lacking up front as well.

MoChara · October 24, 2016, 12:37:27 PM

As someone else said it was a 1 nil hammering, I'd like to see McGregor start ahead of Bitton he seems a bit clueless at the minute, similar to Rogic in runs around doing nothing a lot but without Toms potential for giving that incisive pass or taking a good pop, you have to imagine its the mid field that will be reinforced at Xmas, and I wouldn't be sad to see Bitton go.

Browns twice the player he was last year though as well as Forrest.

I had a feeling at the start of the year we'd regret selling Simunovic, I think he has great potential. Sviatchenko is proving very reliable too, thinks are looking good all in all atm I think
