The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[SaffronSports]

For me its on the decision makers. They knew his style and it was never going to be possible to implement that midseason.

I dont blame him for sticking to his guns. If your style and principles got you the opportunity what kind of man would you be to then adopt someone elses ideas?

If you haven't got the players to play the Style then your f#cked from day one why enforce it on guys who can't do it. In recent years the number of goalies and defenders being pushed to play it out from the back when they blatantly can't has led to all sorts of almighty c**k ups

Celtic's line up against Dundee United had 2 full backs in the centre, no wing back and no proper holding midfielder. Against St Mirren Donovan a young full back was brought on as part of the back three (I think that was his position) and badly exposed for the 3rd goal. These are not sensible decisions to make in order to play in a certain style.

Very noticeable in the 2nd half that defending just looked really panicky, no one knew what they were at.

I dunno if Celtic have ever really played with a proper holding midfielder. Macowan & McGregor were or are the 2 recognised central MFers. In the regular European away day beatings a holding MFer is regularly absent and I've lost count of the times I've called for someone to sit in beside McGregor. He always seems to plough a lone furrow.

See the gossip is BR is trying to take McGregor to Saudi. He's passed his best but he's one of the few real quality players we have.

At this stage guys I'd say everyone's for sale...Utter shambles and a laughing stock, the fall in 10 months is the biggest I've seen from any club. Shamrock Rovers could take our place and the only way people would notice is they'd start winning matches.

Not a great appointment in my view, however the lack of self awareness coming from Celtic fans is laughable. Scottish Football is not going to attract top class managers or players. Project players, academy graduates and decent pros is where it is at. The abuse Liam Scales gets for being a decent defender fro clowns who couldn't kick a ball is an example of the delusion. Winning the league ad a cup in Scotland is a good season, with a wee run in Europe. 1967 is not going to be repeated. Hopefully Nancy an turn it around and get a few players in January.

This is laughable they win their game in hand and they are three behind the leaders who have lost one in seventeen league games. To call it the biggest fall ever from any club is a gross exaggeration.

Soooooo.... you don't see a trend in the team performance?

They lost a cup final to a team they should have beat last year too and hockeyed 7-1 in Europe they aren't the Harlem globetrotters FFS.

They are still odds on to win the league and we have people saying it's the biggest fall from grace ever seen?

It should also be considered that they're also playing against the worst Rangers team in my lifetime (aside from the time rangers got relegation for their financial carryon). It's not like the 90s and 00s when Rangers were littered with very very good footballers.  Celtic losing 3 games in a row against Scottish teams isn't going to cut it, the standard is completely brutal. Celtic have 100million in the bank and are getting beaten by teams who they dwarf in terms of size. We all know Celtic are expected to win every game in Scotland and if they don't it's considered a disaster.

Celtic have been bad in a very bad league. Win this weekend with a draw in the Hearts game, win the game formerly known as the Old Firm and things will look better. Then get anyone in who can score and all will be rosy.
