Hard to disagree. Although the lad got away with a shocking tackle on dembele in the first half. Things even themselves out sometimes.

Not a blatant penalty. The Motherwell defender still impeded Sinclair who was in control. If he hadn't tugged at him Sinclair would have gone straight through. Red was harsh but I think that is the law. Justice for his horrible tackle in first few minutes on Dembele.
First Celtic manager to win his first four competitions. BR reigns.

Rodgers has the easiest job in football. Money for old rope. Cork City would beat the other teams in that league...

Yes and No! It is expected now for them to win everything domestically. The unbeaten run has probably added extra pressure of keeping it going. The Champions league is all about coming 3rd and maybe getting through a round or two in the Europa League depending on the luck of the draw. Scotland with a population of 5 Million of which a half a million live in Edinburgh and 1.2 Million live in Glasgow. There's just not the population for to support other Clubs outside these two cities.

Substantial fan base of Celtic and Rangers in towns and cities all over Scotland.I remember being at a Deacon Blue gig on a Sunday night 20 years ago.Rikki Ross is a big Dundee Utd fan and he0 referred to his glee at  both Celtic and Rangers both being "gubbed" as he put it earlier on that day,and the number of buses leaving Dundee every weekend to follow the Old Firm instead of supporting their home town teams.

I was at Deacon Blue in the Ulster Hall and he made a point of saying that he was going down the Sandy Row for fish and chips, so I assumed he was a Rangers man.  Thanks for clarifying.

I drove down Sandy Row on Saturday,but I don't see how you could deduce a Rangers connection from simply visiting a Chip shop there?

Pep Guardiola or Unai Emery have much easier jobs. "Here boss, we could do with a new striker." "Will £200m be enough? ".
BR's time at Celtic will be judged on progression, of style, of players, in Europe and at home. Europe is the only question mark but we will get there.

Get where? Knockout stages?

Eventually, that is expected. At the moment I would hope for a run in the Europa League. Next year CL knockout stages would be great. That will depend on the group. If it's like the past 2 years, then EL is okay with me. If we get an easier group,  like say Liverpool or Man Utd have had this year, then CL knockout stages is the hope. If we are repeating the same performances and scorelines in the next 2 or 3 years then that would count as stagnation and no amount of success domestically will suffice.

You need the money to compete with the bigger teams, its not a fair playing field and thats just that, getting to the knockout stages is getting harder and harder every year for the likes of Celtic, the gulf between the bigger teams is widening. One off wins against a big team needs to backed up with winning the other games or drawing a few with the odd win..

PSG would not have been an issue 10 years ago, you'd have backed Celtic to beat them, not now or ever if things continue to grow at that club

This is what BR is trying to achieve. No point abandoning your philosophy to get the odd big win.
