The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Sheedy]

seriously poor standard in spl, that has to be 1 of the worst rangers teams ever and they're in 2nd place in the league. celtic should be wiping the floor with a team including clint hill, waghorn, joe garner, kenny miller, halliday etc etc. these players would struggle to get in any decent championship side. kenny miller was finished at cardiff about 6 years ago. celtic strolling to the league title but is it really anything to get excited about.

Young player in today's market.  I think 20 million is reasonable.

Easily

They'll do well to get much more than £10M.  Big clubs know they don't have to pay big to poach Celtic players regardless as to how good they are.  Look at Van Djik as a prime example to So'ton.  Court and unsettle them and Celtic will offload for much less than true worth.

Very little to do with that. It's all about the hooks in their contract he signed. Buyout clauses, sell on percentages. With the inflationary money in the EPL unless Celtic signed Dembele to a stupid contract they should be making a mint from selling him on.

Thought it was a very enjoyable game. End to end stuff and some great football from both teams. Good win for Celtic and a nice way to end the year.

Some yaps about...moaning about Celtic are a selling club, match was crap, Scottish football is rubbish...FFS dry your eyes. Celtic won away from home in an open enjoyable game where both teams tried to play football. Okay the standard is not exactly Barcelona but that shite you all watch every week in the English Premiership is not much better and we all know the difference in resources (don't need to go into that). Even watching the match as a neutral if u didn't enjoy the open game with end to end chances then you're a hard hoor to please and your just on here to hear yourself ramble.

Celtic and Rangers need to bribe whoever needs to be bribed to get into the English league system if they want to be relevant again. Even if they had to start in the National Conference it would be worth it. The TV deals makes the EPL the biggest cash cow in world soccer. I think both Glasgow clubs could be European powers again if they get into a proper league.

Has been done umpteen times on here before but why on earth would English football want/need them?

Don't often see Celtic and never see Rangers but that was enjoyable today.

Biggest as cow for sure but then the Chinese league is a big cash cow too. Not sure why it's suddenly popular to look down your nose at scotish soccer. Celtic were in a tough group in champions league and took points off done top teams and that despite being out of that level for a long time. Anyway Roscommon play in a top league too and they are still shite do your argument doesn't hold water.

Chinese league is driven by a desire to promote tourism and court prestige. The money in the EPL is sustainable. Chinese league may well be big in the decades to come but as of right now it just attracts past it players and mangers and ones who never really made it like Rameires and Oscar.

The TV money is entirely sustainable.

Enjoyed the game today and result of course,for 30 mins we couldnt get going but dembelles goal settled the team and played really well the second half,should have won by more sinclair, armstrong,dembelle,all worthy contenders for men of the match.Forest wasnt great today maybe roberts could have been brought on earlier.I would rather have watched thet game today than teams like bournmouth,stoke,west brom,burnley,etc

Enjoyed that today...whats wrong with Rogic?? I was impressed with him anytime I saw him. Rangers played way above themselves as usual when up against the Celts.

Injured...Should be fine by the time the 3 week winter break is over.

Celtic are 100/1 to win all 18 remaining league games.This should be a formality given their financial superiority and squad size,but as today showed,nothing can be taken for granted.Today's game didn't differ too much from last season's Scottish Cup semi final,where a clearly inferior Rangers team were allowed to stay in the game far too long,although it was not fatal today,also Ronny didn't have the luxury of a Dembele or Sinclair to dig him out of a hole.

Fact remains Celtic have struggled to beat an inferior Rangers side,by the minimum margin,in the last two games.

[lynchbhoy]

too easy for celts today.
linesmen giving a few incorrect offside decisions against the hoops kept sevco in the game.
the only worry was the lack of killer instinct in front of goals. that would have been fatal against a side in cl.
but the lads knew they could stuff sevco easily and did.
thought tge celts spare from the silly goal and one breakaway were nevery troubled. Tierney is ten times the player izzy is. lovely guy but izzy can't defend.he tried v hard today and credit to him.
I don't rate Dembele that highly but his second half perf is changing my mind. I'd still take 25 + million for him.
def need to get into the English league .
some fantastic passing today by Celtic in second gear. Rodgers doing a fantastic job. def far better to watch than most English premises league games.
