The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Scales is doing well alongside Carter V, has cut out much of his sloppy play, so ffs to him.
A game of two halves for Celtic, still it's dissapointing to only get a draw.

I think if athletico had kept 11 on the pitch they probably would've won.

Celtic had some good counterattacks but failed to capitalise. Decent result although the team is still massively limited at this level. I agree Atletico probably would have nicked one (or two) before full time. Delighted all the same, their players are wankers

Hard team to like

Wrong thread? The Kilcoo discussion is on the main GAA board

Good result against a decent team.

Greg Taylor isn't up to it in the SPL never mind Champions League. Scales has improved so much. Decent result, just ran out of steam.

Can't make my mind up about Maeda. Phenomenal workrate but he does some really stupid stuff!

Good performance from Celtic against a team that included two World Cup winners and a runner-up. Scales had a really good game, they are definitely improving at this level, given the budget difference it was a good result.

I think the stupid stuff comes when he is knackered. The same for Kyogo. They were both done after 60 mins and were making silly mistakes at that point.

Was at the game and had a much better atmosphere that the Lazio game, you can clearly see Celtic are playing better as each game passes. I agree that LB is a major issue but i'm gonna give BR the benefit of the doubt as he's only in thru the door but if a quality LB is not purchased in Jan then we deserve all we get.
D Maeda certainly has a few flaws but his work rate and endeavour certainly make up for his shortfall in skill, the main point to take on board is if he had a great first touch and more composure/finishing then he'd be a £100m player for Real Madrid and wouldn't be at Celtic.
We can't say if Madrid had 11 players on the field they'd have won (Granny and balls etc) but I thought at that stage BR should have went for it as 1pt is not really any good to us, we needed 3pts. Problem is Oh doesn't seem to be the answer and he clearly doesn't trust the rest of the bench...CF needed too in Jan

Martin O'Neill made a good point on this on the analysis. Said something along the lines that if that had of been Celtic's first game in the group you'd have been thrilled with the performance and a point but given what had happened in the first 2 games you have to be slightly disappointed.

I know it's not Celtic but it's a long time since I've seen a team shafted like Aberdeen were tonight.

Disappointed in the result, but much of the performance was a big step forward from the first 2 games. The happier manager by far was Simeone who was fist pumping at the end, as if AM had been playing with 9 players for 95mins.

A great compilation clip to start your day, 25 years ago today Lubo moravcik was signed, undoubtedly one of the best bits of business ever conducted by Celtic (I would say the best only for the Larsson signing). Loved watching him, one of the best I've watched in the flesh.

I loved Lubo! What a talent and unreal that he was never picked up by a big club sooner. He was approaching the twilight of his career when he joined Celtic!
