The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

Lazio are not great but us away from home in CL and quite a few suspensions/injuries for tonight limits our chances further. I think BR will be forced to change formation tonight and he may well start OHH and Kyogo up front plus he has to go for it too. I'll not be holding my breath waiting on a big result that's for sure but i sure hope they prove me wrong. Nothing only 3pts tonight and we're outta Europe so they have to go for broke

That's Celtic confirmed bottom of their champions league group with a game to spare?

Rogers can make all the changes in formation he wants but same result.

No quality in team. Average players against a poor enough Lazio team. Decent enough group but hammered out the gate in it.

Be better not going into the Champions League as it's embarrassing year on year. This year was worse.

No surprises here. No investment in the squad and Lawell and a board who only want to look after themselves. A joke.

They did okay this evening but a good Celtic team would be taking 4- 6 points  from that Lazio team. I thought it wasn't a (consolation) penalty, Oh milked the contact but it was more of a penalty than what Rangers got at Aberdeen. Scales reverted to his mistake proneness, clearing the ball away direct to Lazio feet on more than few occasions.That's the bit of his game that needs an exorcism, otherwise a fine footballer

no harm to scales but whats up with the 2 CBs we signed during the summer?

If Celtic want to play in the UCL then they need to leave the Scottish Farmers League. That league is going nowhere. It's no better than NI or ROI leagues. Saying it is, is living in denial. Teams look at Celtic the same way they international teams look at San Marino and Gibraltar. Cannon fodder.

Did the Lazio ultras have a Rangers type banner?

a couple. One referring to paedos. One to fenians washing and another saying the famine is over go home potato eaters

[bennydorano]

Not known as Nazzio for nothing

Some unfair commentary here on Scales, Carter Vickers Johnson and Taylor were also guilty of numerous errors and of course some good play. Time out of number Scales had no option but to clear in a hurry with no one in place to receive the pass. I think it was as a result of the pressure being exerted on the defence, only McGregor sought to give any sort of help. Yang good going forward but defensively weak, Bernardo was also poor. Strengthen up that mid field with quality and Scales will also play better as will the rest of the back 4.

Wonder what Fearon thinks of Lazio now

Scales has done rightly to be fair to him. I'd have expected one of the other two to have got a place in the team now tho

In all seriousness WTF is going on...no matter how good a manager we get we can't make any inroads in CL, there are teams there with similar budget and half the size of Celtic who do much better. We can't even get a one off freak result, every time I watch them I know what's coming. I know we are outta our depth and the players are not good enough at this level but we should still be competing with the other clubs at our level but we can't manage that either.
The Board are under a bit of P now both with finances and the Green Brigade, they gave themselves the most generous pay rise possible (up there with the UTD's and City's) and have £70m in the bank but the team is shite. I can see serious change coming down the tracks as fans are really starting to say enough is enough.
The 2 stalwarts in the team McGregor and Carter Vicars have not been good this season, Kyogo touches the ball about 5 times per game (one is usually a goal TBF) and we just seem to be buying project players instead of 2-3 quality first team ready players. A LB has been needed for a long time now along with CF and goal keeper, these are top priority and you can see how we're targeted every game down our left hand side. Celtic need tall athletic fast footballers...no more 5'6" guys please.

It's quite simple - they've punted too much money on duds on the off chance they might develop into better players. There are players in the first team squad who probably should have retired by now. Add in a couple of injuries and you've a squad of players that wouldn't win a match in the Europa Conference.

[tonto1888]

do the types of players we need really want to come to scotland?
