The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Armaghgeddon]

2-2 now. Red card for Spartak player

[ross4life]

First European away win since when?

[Dougal Maguire]

most clubs in Europe would be happy with a point from a double header with barca before a ball is kicked

1 point from 4 games. There will fcuk all from Barca and away to Spartak.

You didn't call that one too well

[Main Street]

Nice for Celtic to get that victory, I had thought a draw at best before the game. I also thought Matthews would be badly missed but Lustig did very well. Hooper was outstanding, leading the line on his own, scored and 'won the red card'. Samaras had a very decent game after his injury last month, with a brilliant header for the winner and a (dummy) assist for the equaliser.

First European away win since when?

Since they beat Helsinborgs 2-0 in Sweden in the qualifier

Fantastic display and win.Almost a year on from being 3 nil down and facing the sack against Kilmarnock,Neil must now be on the radar of English premier clubs.

In much the same way as when the Queen uttered her attempt at the Irish language, she was on the radar of the Gaeltacht for a new chairperson.

Yeah, or maybe not.

Lennon has assembled a great squad and seems to be more clued-in than some would give him credit for. Certainly some of the players at Celtic are being watched by EPL clubs so I don't see why they wouldn't be tracking Lennon either.

you have to admit its some turnaround, if he brings Celtic out of the group stages there is no doubt a few EPL clubs will be watching closely. ureal the amount of negative comments towards the hoops on here, great to prove them wrong. great result tonight, fighting chance of second.

He's still a rat faced wee f**ker.

But apart from that, well done Celtic.

[Main Street]

 "a rat faced wee f**ker" ??

Far from it,  Lennon is immortal.

Is somebody having a laugh?? He's had 1 . . . yes 1 good result in Europe. Don't forget his team got beaten by St Johnstone the other week. There's no excuse for Celtic not going unbeaten in Scotland without Rangers. Should he do that and get out of the group in the CL then he might be on the radar of a Wigan or a recently promoted Cship side.

You don't know very much about soccer do you? I'm not a Lennon fan but that's bullshit.

[Armaghgeddon]

Celtic were never going to go unbeaten in the league. With rangers gone celtic can clear their debt. Last night the club earned around 1 million for the win

[stew]

I am not a Celtic fan, never have been but I think some on this thread are very harsh on Lennon.

I am delighted Celtic  won yesterday and Lennon is obviously a very good manager, feck the begrudgers Neil, I hope they go on and make the next stage of the CL.

[camanchero]

I'm hard on Lennon - he is still a manager learning his trade so cannot be a genius and get it right all the time right now at least.
He makes mistakes in player selection and personnel - and a few blnders with regard to tactics.

But he really seems to be able to spot a good player. OK maybe it is that the scouts for the first time in almost two decades I would reckon, are really surpassing themselves.
Whether it is the scouts or Lennon, the players that are on the Celtic squad and in the youth system are superb- home grown or bought for tiny fees and I reckon after last night a good few of them will be on the radar in the english premier league if not further afield.

As a long time Samaras proponent, I'm delighted he did it again last night.

Clubs with bigh bankrolls will be looking at him, Forrest, Commons, Wanyama, Ambrose, Izzaguire(who I dont rate as high at many - though he can cross a ball) and especially Hooper who is as good as some of the strikers in the English squad!

Celtic were lucky last night. I thought they deserved a draw before the red card. At least they were clinical for a change and that is a big change from prev seasons (remember anderlecht).

Hopefuly they will get their heads right for the game v hearts this weekend.
