The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

I'm happy for Stevie G.

As for Bobby Madden.

We all know the only reason he got the gig today and he delivered.

Just weren't good enough. Cant blame referee on that result.  Celtic have lost a number of key players in recent years and haven't been replaced with same quality.

Bitton rugby tackled the Rangers lad to stop him getting in on goal. No other Celtic defender was going to close him done. Stone wall red card. Blaming the ref for that result is delusional and clutching at straws.

Ajer was covering in the middle. It was a very marginal call at best. Dont know why he bothered tackling him though - he'd never score anyway

Ok, 10 in a row - League title is over!

Time to use this precious time to clear the decks.

Give a new Manager the time (honeymoon period) to bed in new system and players.

Gerrard has done a decent job, made all the easier by Celtic.

I wonder will Steve move on after this. His stock will be high. Surely a premier league team will be after him?

Can hardly blame the ref. Bitton cost us the game

Lennon cost us the league but hey geographical loyalty will probably stop you saying that.

[reillycavan]

Have to say Ajer was immense in first half in particular.

Who is going to want the job? It'll have to be some up and coming inexperienced manager like Stevie G was. Who's going to want to sign for them. A complete disaster of a season. I'm not even convinced Celtic would have held on last season as well.

Brentford manager would be ideal for job. Recruitment needs to be looked at too.

[JimStynes]

I'd let Eddie and a few others go in January here and get some money for them. A few players have hardly broke sweat for months. Lennon needs to go too. He has been too stubborn to change things early in the year and has now left today as a do or die game. So f**king frustrating. Rangers played terrible today and still won without a shot on target.

[JimStynes]

And that fat **** morales was terrible again today.

Ajer was never getting back in time. He's well behind the play. Bitton was stupid though. Morelos still has work to do to score. No need to do what he did.

What's Eddie Howe doing these days? Would Celtic be a step down?

Your 1-0 down and 1 man down and you bring on Brown ? That's what we're dealing with here. He should have been gone months ago. He should never have even got the job in the first place

That's all relative.

Celtic are a massive club historically, passionate fanbase, good facilities. They have a good revenue base that compares with other big clubs outside the top leagues like Ajax, Benfica, Porto, RB Salzburg etc - clubs who do reasonably well in Europe on a consistent basis. Celtic have a very manageable route for Champions League football on an annual basis, a good shop window for a move to the EPL.

The problem lies with Peter Lawwell, an executive utterly obsessed with lining his own pockets, a man utterly obsessed with power. As long as Lawwell remains in his position we will continue to be unambitious, we will continue to appoint a manager with little pedigree or clout to go up against him.

There is some much potential for Celtic but it's never going to be realised with Lawwell at the club, we saw how Rodgers changed the culture and standards at the club in such a short space of time. We saw how Lennon completely dismantled that culture and those standards in such a short space of time.

We can either be ambitious or not but Lawwell didn't like the fact that Rodgers was a manager with stature and pedigree and who was capable of causing a serious amount of unrest for him.
