The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tyroneStatto]

thought celtic looked comfortable at the back until the goal went in. brown's red card was justified but i dont think barca would have scored if celtic had 11 on the field.

the big problem for celtic is obviously in the final third and that's what happens if you sell your main striker and don't replace him.

the 2 ajax games and the milan home game are massive now.

Another drama filled night in Glasgow's East End.Brown reckless and spiteful, left ref with a decision to make and let the side down.For workrate alone the Bhoys deserved a draw at least.

Interestingly papers over here are praising Brown for "good foul" on Neymar (cynicism how are ye?) but condemning him for the follow up kick!

Fair play to you Tony

Fair play? did he win a competition to be photographed with Jim? Fair play indeed 

[Dougal Maguire]

I meant fair play to him for allowing Jim McGuinness to get his photograph taken with him

Fatboy Jim.

Actually resisted the temptation to sing! "Jimmy's winning matches!"

Great win tonight. Win the next two and it's last 16 time again 

Ajax away and Milan at home. It's been done before...

All wins for Celtic in the CL are great wins. Sound from Forrest to dispatch the unstoppable penalty, that alone puts him on the christmas card list. There wasn't much to separate the teams ability wise but Celtic had more determination to win the game, Ajax's determination came too late, after they found themselves 2 down.
What a difference a functioning CH partnership makes, both were excellent this evening, that Dutchman is a great signing.
Who knows, maybe a draw in Amsterdam is enough for 3rd place.

Thought Mulgrew was outstanding tonight. He's been great for Celtic since he came back.

Have to agree, would he not fancy a go at the game in England, maybe his lack of outright pace might put people off but he is good on the ball and has a great delivery.

Technically Celtic (like most scots and english sides - well with Scots, english, Irish, welsh players in them) will always be outgunned technically by euro sides. However organisation and tactics play a massive part in counteracting better ball skills.
Celtic looked mostly comfortable last night, and indeed as they have done v barca and milan !

Ambrose is a great example. He is majestic in defending, but like last season in CL he runs up blind alleys and gets caught in posession or gives the ball away (same as Wanyama did too).

Mulgrew shows how great strachan was at being able to pick good players.
MS - was wondering what you thought of Forrest last night. still has a lot to learn, final delivery needs to be improved. Also needs coaching on how to beat his man.
Celtic are still way off what they could be. certainly far more in that squad - they have potential.

Reading Chris Suttons book right now, fantastic book, he is a good guy as well as a great player and Celtic legend. Scathing about strachan and how he treated him. only copper fastens my opnion on the wee useless ginger twat
