The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[the colonel]

Seen highlights of the goals. I think allowing mcgeady to go is a smart move judging by the way James Forrest is coming along. Looks like a natural replacement for Aidan. Youth will get its chance due to Lennons previous role. He had tipped Forrest last year.

2-0 is a good result especially not conceding an away goal. what were utrecht like? should celtic try and kill the tie off early on in the 2nd leg or just try and shut up shop?

Someone must have forgot to lock the shop door.. 3-0 to Utrecht

EDIT :4-0

I just watched that match and I can tell u the future looks very bleak for Celtic. Woeful.

[Main Street]

Bleak sounds optimistic after watching that game, well the part of it that I did watch.

[tyroneStatto]

shocking stuff!

[Celt_Man]

jaysus can't believe that result... Surely Lennon's neck is on the line now

[tyroneman]

Of course his neck won't be on the line. The suits will happily let him ramble on till the end of the season.

I listened to it on Radio Scotland.   I think the commentator was Chick Young but the reception was pretty hazy.  Anyway could hardly hear waht was going on but the next thing  was:

"MAAAAAGUIRRRRRRRRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was certain from the obvious howl of delight that Celtic had scored the away goal to see them through and Maguire was some young reserve lad.  Nope.   It was Chick, absolutely c**k-a-hoop, falling over himself describing the goal using all the superlatives he could muster.

Dreadful display again. Stokes on the way though. Can't see that helping the defence however.

[Milltown Row2]

is this the best bet of the season?  rangers are  6/5 to win the league

[tyroneStatto]

a half decent league of ireland side could go to utrecht, stick 10 men behind the ball, defend for their lives and would probably come away with a 0-0. sure shamrock rovers were only beat 1-0 away to juventus. no excuses for tonight. none whatsoever.

[ONeill]

Going by that result they're best well away from European competition this season.

It's not even September yet FFS.

Total and utter shambles tonight though.

[lynchbhoy]

well the performance last night was even worse than artmedia bratislava and for me is the worst perf  have ever seen by Celtic . At least against artmedia they did string some pases together and were looking somewhat positive going towards their opponents goal.
last night was like looking at a league of Ireland side. so much so that most of us on this thread could have played and improved the performance !
Lennon and co need to learn how to coach defending !

A striker is needed, stokes is a good move, but need a top notch striker like Bellamy, keane or someone else as there was no one to look like causing problems for utrchts defence.
What would vanwolfwinkel cost?
Though he might be another 'Brattbakk' .

Lennon devoid of answers on the line as he merely moved samaras, fortune, forrest, maloney around !

[Clown]

Lennon has now been in charge for our 2 most shambolic and embarrassing performances in recent times - last night, and the Ross Co semi final

but because he's a 'celtic man' he'll escape criticism from a lot of quarters
