The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[From the Bunker]

Updated probabilities for UCL Top 8 and Top 24.

They count in the changes in Elo points resulting from domestic league matches played since MD2 of UCL.

[illdecide]

For me the next home game v Leipzig is crucial, they need pts badly and are a dangerous opponent. They will be targeting us to kick start the CL season so i'm v wary of them. If Celtic can win this game they'll definitely be in the driving seat but they must not lose this game.
Domestically celtic should not fear any team in the league, I watched Hibs v Hearts yesterday out of boredom and can seriously say i have never seen a worse standard of football from two team supposed to be top teams in scotland. Pure rank tbh

Heading to the Dundee match on Wednesday. Any tips on a good place to park?

yeah good parking in the housing estate next to ground off london road (Barrowfield & Yate) they're a bit rough but safe. i normally get the train into Dalmarnock and then walk back into city centre (25min walk). suppose depends if you're staying over or in a hurry back for the boat

That game and Villa are two I would maybe expect us to lose but think there's points to be had in the other three matches. We should be able to make it into the top 24. Scoreline vs Dortmund was concerning but I would have been delighted with 4 points from those opening three games. Really only expected 3 tbh.

What chance Rangers go into liquidation again or similar?

I think Kris Boyd needs a hug.

i've been saying this for about 4-5 years now. They're only getting by these last few years from loans, shares and raising funds from whatever means necessary. Eventually it catches up with you and Sevco manager told the world about it on live tv last night, his days are numbered (apparently if he's sacked they will currently still have 4 ex managers on their pay roll) and we'll probably soon see The Rangers III version.

I was watching bits of that game last night thinking Clement is probably safe no matter how shite Rangers are as they can't afford to get rid.

Kudos to Aberdeen, would love to see them keep this going all season - be brilliant for Scottish football.

Rumours this morning that Gerrard is getting sacked in Saudi...

Surely to god they've a clause in their contract that if they are let go the club will only honour that contract while they are not in a few role. Take a new managers role and that payout ceases, no?

[illdecide]

TBH you could be right but i read that last night about currently 3 ex managers still on their payroll. As Benny said there...can they really afford to sack him.
He may well be a clown but i suppose you can play the cards you're dealt, they're getting more like man utd (less the money) by the day. In saying all that Sevco still spent 10 times what Aberdeen spent and he should be able to get some sort of tune from them (more likely the sash).

Is it not the norm to just pay out the contract?

[illdecide]

Usually, yeah. That's my understanding of it anyway.

On a positive note celtic are expected to have everyone back fit for weekend's semi final with Aberdeen
