The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[bennydorano]

Get the feeling we're going to have to score at least another 2 here cos Alkmaar are getting more

[Main Street]

Helter skelter stuff of the real scary type.  Ange has a job to prepare that team for the group stages. Joe Hart  defines the poacher's egg description.

Result is all that matters. Celtic would have lost that game by 4 goals with Lennon in charge.

[Main Street]

By 6 if Lennon was in charge and Barkas in goals.

There are positives,  Hart's saves, Eddy is on the up and up, Christie, Ralston and Montgomerie  in the 2nd half.

Was that the same Alkmaar player who also skied the ball over the bar from point blank range  at Celtic Park?
That Jesper Karlson nr 11 is a very tidy technically gifted player, he would look grand in a Celtic shirt, I don't understand why he was excluded from the Swedish Euro squad.

I think Eddy staying is huge. I know Celtic can't afford to let players leave for nothing but if we got a version of Eddy that is anything like the season before last then he'd win the league for us. He made the difference last night - completely changed the game when he came on. The danger is that he will be focused and play well until Christmas, sign a pre-contract and then down tools to the end of the season. I think its worth the risk though at the league winners this year are straight into the CL group stage

Over the 2 legs Celtic thoroughly deserved to go through. Should really have had a 3 goal league after the first leg. They didn't even score a proper goal as such - they got 2 gift wrapped presents

Celtic will take some humping in that group. A draw with any of those teams would be a good result.

[Jonkunlon]

More than capable of taking 7 points from home. Case of 'could have been better but could have been worse'.
I'll predict 10 points and qualify.

You'd expect the germans to win it but 2nd is possible.

Different format this year. Winners go through obviously. 2nd place play a playoff round vs the 3rd placed teams from the Champions League. 3rd placed teams go into a playoff for the the new conference league against the 2nd placed teams in that competion. 4th placed teams go home.

[The Subbie]

Nervy enough 1st half at times but should be 2-0 up
The Croatian looks like a tidy player at Left full
Ralston doing well too

Should have been 1-1 at HT but all Rangers second half... never really watched Edouard before but he's been muck!

Correct
Missed a sitter and was uninvolved after that
Should have got the curly finger early in 2nd half
But when u think back to the last game vs the Huns
it was an improvement

[Main Street]

It was a dubious plan to start with both Eddy and Kyogo with such a weak CM. Eddy should have been replaced at HT.  The midfield looked stronger when Rogic and Soro came on but the horse had bolted by that stage.
