The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[bennydorano]

What is the story with the ticket feud?? (I think it originated with Rangers trying to get every advantage going when they came back up through the leagues to avoid hidings in those early games?) but it's surely counter productive now in so many ways.

It is counter productive for them, for when there's no Celtic fans in the stadium to spew their hatred on they will naturally turn on themselves when they get beat as we seen yesterday.

It started when Celtic began to beat them regularly at Ibrox.

Scales is not a centre half, when he played previously it was always on the wing and in my view played reasonably well. Did well yesterday out of position.

He normally plays either LB of LHS of defense, either way his lack of pace is real concern. I'd hoped with the Irish connection he'd make it at Celtic and I still hope he can but on the eye test so far he won't.

He plays centre half and has done for the most part of his career. Aside from his good play, he had many naive bombscare defensive incidents which some of them directly led to 4 or 5 gilt edged chances for Rangers. No central defender in the world of  football should receive motm for that display. It is a travesty of  football common sense. Just because Rangers didn't capitalise on his gifts, by some weird logic that means his defensive blunders don't count, just his good  deeds.

Not disagreeing with that...He also gave up two chances too St Johnstone the week before when they had little to no possession he was muscled off the ball by an 18 year old forcing Joe Harte to make a good save when it should never have come to that. For me Matt O'Reilly was good and should have been nominated with McGregor (1st half display)

[Itchy]

Poor start from Hatate and Taylor but Celtic holding their own so far

[Itchy]

Terrible terrible by Joe Harte

Harte to the rescue. Peno saved.

[Itchy]

Soft as f**k penalty but Harte makes up for earlier balls up. But Celtic man down going to need a bit of luck here

[bennydorano]

Such a bullshit penalty, what did he actually give it for? There was no way he saw anything from his angle (bar a dive), VAR gave him tenuous justification post event.

2nd red card. Game over

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Fuch that then

[Itchy]

Celtic will be pissed off with this. They were the equal of Feyenoord but a really poor 1st goal, ridiculous penalty and then a stupid 2nd red has ruined their chances

[general_lee]

Expectations were low for me going in to this but Celtic have been architects of their own downfall. Classic European performance, start relatively well then like clockwork concede before halftime. Second half has been a disaster. Defence is threadbare and we're left with donkeys who just won't cut it at this level. Scales & Johnston have been the only ones that has put in a decent shift

[Aaron Boone]

One can't be deeply surprised.
It is still gameweek 1 of the CL so lots of teams licking their wounds away from home.

VAR were very quick with their decision also, looked harsh. Celtic at home should be looking to beat them.
