The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[nrico2006]

My facebook was full of warriors yesterday monring, seemed to go very quiet after lunch.  The cream rises to the top I suppose, not like Celtic were playing some of the cannon fodder they normally play - they were playing the most successful club in Scotland.

Rangers are no world beaters either.They were up for it yesterday,but if Celtic had managed to get in front,despite not playing well,it would have been interesting to see how Rangers reacted.Rangers should be worried now.Their squad needs massive investment (Dean Shiels started yesterday ffs) where's that going to come from? Also Warburton might now be attracting interest from English clubs

True with the shape of the Penalties it was the who wanted to throw it away yesterday.

Thought for Celtic Sviatchenko, Tierney played well and with purpose, Roberts played well to but faded out at the end, Boyata was a Bomb Scare, McGregor and  Rogic seen their names in lights and were hoping to win the game single handedly. Leigh Grifftihs seemed to think he should shoot from anywhere he liked.

Rangers far more organised and twice as much fight, Can only be good for Scottish football to see a Start up club of 4 years winning big games.

Celtic are shite. Worse thing that happened to them was Rangers getting relegated. Maybe the return of the Old Firm will make Scottish football less of a terminal bore.

Rangers weren't relegated.

I read a quote somewhere that I thought was funny. Along the lines of 'If your dog dies, and you get a new dog, and call it the same name, IT'S NOT THE SAME DOG!!'.

The billy boys and the sash... sounded like the same rangers to me... if it looks like a duck...

[AZOffaly]

Ara as far as I'm concerned it's the same gang. Same supporters, same colour, same badge (I think). I had this argument before on here about a club's identity and who owns it. I just thought that quote was a funny wind up.

[T Fearon]

I don't understand Celtic supporters who claim this is a different Rangers.If that's the case why was the Celtic end jam packed yesterday? Wouldn't have been if they were playing Dundee Utd,Inverness etc

[No wides]

Just heard they were beat today - slap it up them and all from here who think they are associated with them.

I wouldn't put all the blame on RD, the board need to take some flak as well. Hopefully a wake up call, Rangers are back and in the time they were away Celtic have regressed. It's as if the board have done the bare minimum required. They need to start building a team, stop selling the better players and stop relying on whatever semi half decent talent that they poach from other clubs/ "develop" from youth team.

The Board have done far less than the bare minimum, therefore Celtic have regressed. The best players out there were the 2 subs and  young Tierney.
Since the 2011/12 season,  the board haves cashed in 2 CL's income, sold the best players and bought no stand out replacements except DvD, also they made a tidy sum selling Forster and replacing him with Gordon.
The board's  policy over the past 3 seasons, can be reflected in the finished product, that abysmal Celtic performance. Rangers were even fitter and their ambition made them look  better. All subs were used but  Biton wanted to quit the game, an utterly pathetic attitude in a Glasgow derby.
No wonder Celtic's midfield had little presence when you include Johansen has gone from poty to pot and Brown looks like a finished player.

How can any of those players have respect for that Celtic management team? John Collins was a so so player and a worse manager, Delilah came from a second class league. There has been absolutely no heart or passion in that Celtic team since they took over. A poor rangers team made them look like they were the championship side. Scott Brown is a shadow of the player he used to be and as for Bitton....

Scott Brown was never a player.

[illdecide]

I have stated before that Bitton is a joke of a player, Scott Brown is a player usually associated with the hustle and bustle and to snuff out the danger man on the other team but not sure if he'd have the  legs for that any more but no skill there whatsoever. Johansen has been really poor this year and Gary Mackay-Steven is a mid table Scottish Premier League player and nothing else who can perform a good game in 10, Roberts done okay but missed a chance that will embarrass him until the day he dies...Ohh hold on a minute i've just named the midfield, now let me think we have K Commons and T Rogic on the bench who are probably the most talented players available and he uses one of them for about 20 mins...WTF. That's terrible bad management...Sorry young Ronnie but you had your shot and failed miserably, it's time to part ways and good luck to you in the future.

The Board now need to man up and get a man in with experience and a proven track record (not a yes man), unfortunately this man will be looking assurances on money to buy players etc and I don't believe he'll get it so another "Yes" man will more than likely be appointed in the Summer.

To fulfill the  minimum mandate i.e. to beat a rebuilding  Rangers  and win next year's title, will require spending and any new manager worth his salt will demand a kitty before accepting the job.
