The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[SaffronSports]

Comfortable win tonight. Still waiting to hear what Rodgers thought of the fans.

[SaffronSports]

Seems he more or less laughed it off by saying the kitman must have been the only person they didn't sing about tonight.

Always been interested by the Scottish League and the inevitable two horse race for the domestic competitions each season. What would it take for the other clubs outside the top two to raise their outcomes, I'm guessing huge financial interventions etc? I know it has been mooted before but would there be any scope or even interest in them joining the English league structure? Suppose with consistent qualification to European football and regular doses of silverware in Scotland there probably isn't any desire for it.

It would be helped if a lot of fans in Scotland supported their local team and not one of Celtic or rangers. Go anywhere in Scotland and you'll have huge supporters clubs for the big two and buses travelling to the games. My in laws are from Motherwell, never crossed their mind to support Motherwell though.
The Edinburgh clubs shouldn't be as bad as they are though. Went to a hibs game recently and it was dire dire stuff.

Rangers drop another 2 points this time against Dundee.

Rangers drop another 2 points this time against Dundee.

We're a point further ahead of them than we were before the derby. Makes that result look all the worse now.

Happened to catch a bit of the Rangers match last night.

what was going on with the Rangers right back? Genuinely don't I've seen a more out of shape professional footballer in a very long time, he looked as if they had grabbed him off a park pitch on the way to the game.

Any one else notice him last night?

[illdecide]

Didn't watch their game last night but if i was in the house i'm sure i'd have been peeking at it.

BR is in some position now, he can put all his eggs into CL basket and not worry about a few league games. He could actually send most of the starting 11 on a weeks holiday and play the rest of the squad with a few young ones thrown in and still not care about dropping pts and give the seasoned Pro's their own wee winter break. That would actually be cheeky and the Media would go into meltdown

[SaffronSports]

From his press conference today it sounds like we have one fit winger tomorrow. Only Yang available.

A big issue with Celtic, for me anyways, is that not many home grown players are being produced this past few years. Tierney was probably the last one.

Need to use some of the profits and invest and revamp the youth system. Always good to get young players coming through to move on for big money.  Like Tierney and Mc Geady before that.

Good time to do it now I reckon.

[SaffronSports]

Big problem Celtic are having is their good youth players are being swallowed up by bigger clubs. Ben Doak being one, there lad that went to Bayern Munich another.

[marty34]

Rocco Vata scored a belter for Watford.

Plyers develop at different times and some lads will slip through the net.

Lads like Doak and Andy Robertson etc.

Celtic should be bringing more young players through their system. 

[SaffronSports]

Another good win. Final score a bit flattering but with a few lads missing and Dingwall a hard place to go it was a decent result.

[No1]

Yeah, hard fought win. Scoreline flattered Celtic a bit. I don't like being negative but Adam Idah just isn't up to it. I want it to work out for him and thought maybe fitness issues were hindering him but it's evident that he's just not good enough. Young Kenny was more effective in 10 minutes than Idah in the last 3 games. I'm not saying Kenny is the answer by the way!

Do you celt fans not get bored every year of pretending to get out of 2nd year to win everything?

Like what's the point in that league.
