The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[marty34]

I see Rangers could get straight into the Champions League group stages next season if obviously, they win league AND results in other European countries go their way. This would be a complete embarrassment for Celtic.

Regardless of current league games and closeness of title race, there are a lot of fans who are not mentioning the Board nowadays. They are getting off the hook. They have been a total shambles this past few years.

They got caught during Covid/10 in a row season. Didn't spent the cash thinging they'd cruise to another title and fell asleep at the wheel. An epic failure. Regardless of how things go this season, it's another epic failure of huge proportions.

Simply put,  the Board, Nicholson and Hargreaves etc. need to go. League title or no league title.

Plus the whole squad needs gutted. 3/4 of them are not good enough. Simple as.  Even look at the 'signings' brought in at January. None of them has made an impact. Not sure who brought them in but most of them are not even in the match day panel. Let that sink in. 

How O'Neill starts with that lad Tomas up top. He's brutal. Got lucky on Sunday past with a late winner. He had 3 clear cut chances and couldn't hit a barn door.

Green Brigade back too. As much as I think they're up their own arses they could genuinely make a positive difference in the run in.

No doubt in that, a lot of we Neds around 16-19 who think they own the place. In saying all that they do bring atmosphere to the place and they will add a few more % to our game. GB back, fixtures suit, can't have any complaints now, if they don't win it from this position then they've no one to blame only themselves. I know the Board have shafted us but with 6 games to go it's now down to the players...

[Main Street]

None of the 3 teams have any real momentum but I think Celtic have the most going for them, MON´s experience, the timely return of the Green Brigade (Neds nothwithstanding), the 6 game schedule, MON's more than decent record away v Rangers and Hearts and now they are both at CP with a diminished away support. 

 Injured players are not yet coming back and instead there's an immediate right back crisis with 3 first choices out and that may well be the case for the rest of the season, Could Sarachi go RB and Scales to replace Tierney on the hours at LB? I think Cvancara will still lead the line with Iheanacho coming on to replace if/when needed.

TBH i would like to see him try a 3/5/2, RHS side is a problem as you mentioned and the Brickie is having a stinker this year. as a 3/5/2 i'd play...

1. Sinisalo
3 Centre Halves - Ben Arthur, Scales, Trusty
5 Midfielders - Sarachi, McGregor, Oxlade, McGregor & Tierney
2 Forwards - Cvancara & Nygren

Leaving Maeda, Hatate, Engels, Yang, Iheanacho, Tounekti & Forrest for options to go back to 4/3/3 or just change personal.

Your formation I agree with. I wouldn't even pick McGregor once never mind twice though!! He's had a season to forget.

Seriously? They're completely woeful (even morseo) when he's not playing.

[No1]

Yeah seriously. Has spent most of the season pointing, not making tackles and dropping so deep he's nearly camped on his own 18. Doesn't affect the game anymore. I'll grant you there isn't much on the bench to replace him. I thought Bob MacIntyre might win The Masters though so my sporting opinions might not be worth much!! 

[tonto1888]

McGregor been poor enough by his standards this season but he has had his moments. I would still have him in there

[Main Street]

But which McGregor are you talking about?

5 Midfielders - Sarachi, McGregor, Oxlade, McGregor & Tierney

[Baile Brigín 2]

They all had. But at least he is a leader.

[illdecide]

Typo there lads...There's only one McGregor. I agree with you all that he's way off it but he'll still be picked as Captain and will be first name on teamsheet whether we all agree with MON or not.

[Main Street]

The difference between witnessing this game and the dismal performance v Dundee Utd was the 3 points
   

[illdecide]

I don't even know where to start, last week I though to myself...Green Brigade back in, 4 home games from 6 and a few injured players on their back this is gonna fall for us but I was mistaken. Same old crap served up and it will be a miracle if we were to win this league...The Rangers look the likely team to go on and win it which will be criminal but they (The Board) only have themsleves to blame.
