That's a lot for a professional athlete to put on.

Here i was messing, haven't a clue what he put on

There are a lot of mixed messages about Griff on Twitter, quite a few are saying Lennon and Celtic are throwing him under the bus regarding his mental illness and that they should be sticking by him etc etc. I get all that but NL has a team to assemble and run and Griff should have been more professional about it, he knows himself. He's always on social media which club have told him to stay off as it's not good for anyone suffering from mental health...I think he'll get one last chance and if he doesn't get himself fit by mid August his time could be up. He could go out to Hibs on loan or possibly sell him to Hibs in Jan but either way he's walking a tight rope...I would love to see him turn it around and i hope he does but the way it is atm he's peddling into the wind

Lol no worries, I'd say 1-2 pounds put on probably wouldn't have that reaction so bound be a good bit more.

Completely different starting team for tonight's game against Lyon, lets see if Klimala can step up

I'm still trying to figure out what NL's motives were for playing that team against Lyon...Was he saying to fringe players "you can't handle this so don't come knocking my door down when you're not getting a game" or was it genuinely who sinks or swims in that situation...I was also thinking if that team had started and had held Lyon then the stronger team finishing could have put them to the sword...Only NL knows but what will be interesting is the team he lines out tomorrow evening against PSG who beat some team 9-0 last week...

There is no doubt that a few young guns are almost ready for the break thru but who and when?

Wouldn't really worry about this type of competition - give the full panel loads of game time.  That's what it's all about.

I'l be more worried about getting focussed on the 10 in a row. It'll be harder then people think.

Celtic need a  real good keeper, centre back, mid-fielder and a striker...at least.  Need to get the quality in. Probably need a left-back also coiming to think of it as they have no options there.

Starting to get a bit worried a bit of the lack of signings...I know Celtic always do lastminute.com and i'm sure NL knows who he wants and the position he needs strengthening in...The Town and Country know we need a keeper, left back, centre half and a proven striker...that's a certainty. Celtic have put an official bid in fro AEK Athens goalkeeper which was rejected but i'm sure they'll go back again with an improved offer (Lawell prob offer another £20). As i say I've no doubt NL knows who he wants and needs it's whether or not he gets them is the question.

One thing is for certain though you'll not see the spending this year or next from any of the clubs that you'd have seen in previous years...Money is tight

The board are doing their usual 'wait and see' thing where they think they'll win league without spending any cash.

This year, or all years, they need to get it sorted.  Not sure if Lennon has any input to who Celtic buy.  The team is light on quality.   He plays lads like Brown, Mc Gregor and Forrest nearly every game.  Be hard for them to do it again this year with all the games.

Decent performance today, v hard to judge as Hamilton were pretty poor TBH but all you can do is beat who's put in front of you and that's what Celtic done convincingly. Still need two or three players to be sure of this season but the biggest signing Celtic can do this year is tie Edouard up for another few seasons and make sure he stays this season. If Celtic do that then it's only Celtic's season to lose.

No reason eddy shouldnt be hitting 30-40  in the league this year.

I'd say 50 plus. If he stays fit and isn't sold. I know it was Hamilton but He has ability to play for any team.
