The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Can only beat what is put in front of you and that is absolute shite.  Hopefully they can kick on a bit in europe but difficult to compete financially these days

Wouldn't buy that. Loads of teams from so called weaker countries punch well above their weight.

That's the next target - be more consistent.  Had chances in Champions Lge. this year when it was 0-0 and didn't take them. Get away with that in Scotland but not in Europe and definately not in the Champions League.

I thought we played too adventurously in Europe, played the same way v St Mirren as we did V a European heavyweight, generally looked good in Europe, looked dangerous but so so vulnerable on the backfoot. Improving on the European stage has to be the N1 priority.

That's true. But it must be 30 years since anyone other than Celtic or Rangers won that league. Aberdeen have just over half the points that Celtic have and they sit 3rd. (Celtic 95 Aberdeen 53) The idea that this is even a competitive league is ridiculous. What is the point in even celebrating these league titles?
Celtic are cannon fodder in Europe.

I always thought that forming a sort of euro league would suit Celtic and the other Scot teams. Along with say Belgium, maybe a few of the weaker Dutch teams then your Central and Eastern European teams.  Austria, Poland, Czech Rep, Romania. A non runner probably but the Scot league is dead as far as I can see.

I'm sure they'll consider your suggestions very strongly

It was long discussed (how seriouslyI dont know), the Atlantic league IIRC.

I happened upon the televised 2nd half of the Ghirls in Green v Glasgow City at Celtic Pk.  Celtic came from behind in the 2nd half to hit 3  goals into the backdrop of the raucous and fully decked out Green Brigade. However the usual team/Green Brigade post match celebrations went into turbocharge when the manager replete with dancing shoes took over the front of the stage. Quite the dancer is manager Fran.

Celtic youth team won the Glasgow Cup at ibrokes last night, went 3-0 up against the junior huns only to end up 3-3 at full time, then won the penalty shootout 4-3, can safely say they're sick of the sight of the hoops!!

Interesting team choice today by Ange
Bernabei at left full
Abada , Oh & Jota upfront
Despite his goal a few weeks ago I'm still in the fence with Bernabei, isn't a consistent enough defender yet for my liking
Am looking forward to seeing Oh getting stuck into the Huns tho

[Milltown Row2]

Very quiet here today

[marty34]

Poor effort indeed.

A lot of lads clearly not up to it.  CCV is a huge loss in defence. He's a great organiser and quiet leader.

Starfelt a liability. In big games, he makes too many simple miskakes.  Smaller games, he'd get away with it in SPL but very dodgy in bigger games.

Plenty for Ange to ponder on come the summer.

[The Subbie]

Bernabei simply not Celtic standard, Kobayashi not exactly suitable either
Thought Abada off today
In a nothing game it ultimately meant f**k all but a good wake ups call and by the look of things one that is needed
Take Johnston, CCV, Taylor, Mooy, Kyogo & Maeda ( for an hour) out and the cupboard looks decidedly bare
Few injuries and the Huns ignominious CL record is ours if we aren't careful
Without coming across as glass half empty CSC, summer recruiting needs to be ruthless and a step up if we are to move a level

Will Ange be away to Spurs after the Cup Final?

Will Ange be away to Spurs after the Cup Final?

Sadly I think so

[marty34]

I thought by his comments recently that he'd be staying.
