The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[ned]

I have supported Celtic all my life. No choice really due to my Dad being a fanatic and regular attendee. I'm glad of that.
It was the late 70's before I really paid attention to scores and league positions, just after Dalglish had left for Liverpool. This was when Big Billy was managing a Celtic team who had Ferguson's Aberdeen and McLean's Dundee Utd as their main contenders, then a brief spell under Davie Hay followed by the glorious Centenary Year Double. We had exciting players and even the odd top class player who would have graced most teams in the world from Danny Mc, Charlie Nicholas, The Maestro, Brian McClair to John Collins and even the odd cult hero (mine anyway) like Anton Rogan. The common theme of Celtic teams then and under Stein was the style of play.
We then entered a dark period when rangers dominated until MON brought us back to the top and despite what others may say that team could play, maybe not all out attack like the Celtic teams before but they were exciting times again. Neil Lennon gave us some wonderful days as did Strachan but the football had become staid. Deila talked a good game but ultimately we were regressing.
The reason for my litany of a post is to emphasise what a majority of Celtic supporters believe we have now. That is, a manager in Brendan Rodgers who is giving us winning football with a style that, although far from Lisbon Lions style attack, is very pleasing to watch. None of us are naive enough to think we are guaranteed progress from here but I for one am certainly not going to spend my time worrying about next year and what might be but I am for enjoying every moment of this fantastic season now.

You credit Tony the Troll with having an opinion worth replying to.

Tony is winding people, if Rodgers was not the gaffer Dembele would not be there, a manager like Rodgers attracts young talent and on that signing alone he has justified his wages. mix in Sinclair and the players now playin far better than they did under that last bomb scare and you have to say the manager has done a tremendous job to date, i think he will crack on and go undefeated and win the treble, if he does so he will cement his legacy as a great Celtic manager, especially when you contrast him with Delia.

So because celtic have a huge advantage over the rest of the teams in the SPL in terms of money and squad nobody should really be able to give them a game. But in the CL where it is the opposite we should expect celtic to be competitive? 🤔🤔🤔

25 mins of domination so far.  If Rangers could get out of their own half it might open up a bit.

90% of possession and a meagre one goal lead at half time in the most one sided Old Firm game I've ever seen.Hardly impressive.

[StGallsGAA]

Even if Celtic took their 11 off the field I doubt if Rangers could keep the ball in play long enough to score!

You'd wonder why the linesman waited until the hapless Wankhorn missed his chance before putting up the flag for offside? He was a 1m offside and the linesman was perfectly placed, in line with the play.

He's one of them!

Well done Celtic today another very solid performance infact more than solid a real good performance -  no one put a foot wrong, Celtic got the goals & maybe could have had a few more. Main thing is keeping Brendan on board now as no doubt coming into the summer he's going to be linked to some teams...results but more importantly performances speak for themselves & alot of clubs would love to have him. Rangers - they were woeful or maybe Celtic made them look woeful! Non contest today. As a Celtic fan its great to see good times back at the club Thank you Brendan Rodgers & all the players for a great year so far!

It'll be a shame if Dembele misses the final. Aberdeen will fancy their chances if he does.  In Niall McGinn it will be nice to see a Tyrone legend of GAA playing in a cup final too.

Tony will be devastated

Rangers were  made look very poor , Brendan Rodgers  got the tactics spot on yet again (, and this is the rangers team that were on an upward curve with an excellent new manager according to some 😀)

Completely and utterly ,

did enough but got sloppy in the last 20 mins. Probably no harm with a league game to come next week. They could and maybe should have given them a hiding today but i'll happily wait another week for that
