The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

Bit of a dilemma for Brendan Rodgers as well.I doubt he'll ever be offered a job with any of the EPL's top six clubs again or any sort of big job on the continent,therefore does he sacrifice guaranteed CL football every year for the likes of Swansea,Stoke or West Ham where he'll be fighting for mid table places every year and will win nothing?

When Brendan Rodgers is finished with Celtic he should manage Tottenham next.

I can see him as manager of spurs in about 4 years time. He wants to leave a legacy at celtic first and build a team who can compete in europe. By that stage pochettino will have left for a bigger club.

Barring about 20 mins we didn't struggle at all. It was another 1 goal hammering. It really should have been won by 4/5.

Sure spurs are just a mid table team that win nothing, isn't that Tony's point.

I wouldn't agree with some on Izzy here. I felt he was immense yesterday, he absolutely destroyed Tavernier on the Rangers right. Defensively he was pretty solid, bar the goal which came from an Erik mistake, we were untroubled down our left side.

Conversely Lustig had a very tough game at right back. McKay had the beating of him all day, McKay is a very good player though and the only hub worth anything in that side.

Armstrong, Dembele and Sinclair were superb.

Comfortable win and we've a very settled looking XI. The most encouraging aspect with Rodgers so far has been the likes of fringe players like Armstrong, McGregor, Rogic etc and how they have progressed this season.

well to be fair Izzy did make up for it in his last 60 mins. I'd agree with listing.  decent player and wholehearted like Izzy... but while good going forward...can often get caught defensively. think his issue is he is too tall and no longer has the speed of youth for full back position.

I think once Rodgers has finished his 10 in a row... he can retire to a lesser job...an easier job in the epl or wherever... spurs or whoever offers big bucks.
he def can get a team playing great football alright.  doing it on a shoestring budget too is commendable.  could be brought back to Chelsea once he leaves celtic

What price this double within one calendar year. Rodgers to become manager of Spurs and Mc Kay of Rangers becomes a hoop?

[uimhr ocht]

Long odds im pretty sure the huns wouldnt sell him to celtic but if 1million and half 2 bid came in he could depart to england,rodgers will stay another season at least.Rangers dont have the big investment now to buy 2 mill 3 mill players although someone financed garner transfer 1.8 mill and hes scored 3 goals lol.

I think Spurs resounding away win today coupled with an equally convincing win away to Southampton earlier in the week shows we are a top four club well beyond Brendan's reach.Alas he faces a similar situation to David Moyes in England,sadly a guy who had a crack at a big job but blew it.

In any event,Celtic should be a better proposition than a mid table EPL side,with guaranteed trophies and CL football every year.My only fear would be complacency setting in with Lawwell and Desmond,with the fans happy and the purse strings tightened again.

He might be a contender for the England team  job though in a couple of years.

Brendan is a top coach and has really improved the squad he inherited. He has really improved a number of individual players like armstrong, mcgregor and brown. He is also tactically excellent. Spurs aren't as big as united, city, arsenal, liverpool or chelsea. The reality is that they would be extremely lucky to get brendan in a few years time as I think he will have improved his reputation to a point where a huge job like united, barcelona or real will be next. Celtic are as big as those clubs but the league is very limiting.

Thought Armstrong was superb yesterday and deserved a goal from one of his chances.

[Itchy]

Based on spurs bearing mighty Watford and Southampton I think it is 100% clear they should be considered one of the top 4 in the premier league if not the world.

[Applesisapples]

Realistically the hope for Celtic and Rangers has to be a European super league of some description.

I would have thought that Spurs with their new stadium would be as big a club as most of those mentioned with the obvious exception being United while Liverpool have a massive worldwide following also but the like of Chelsea and City would not be bigger clubs and are operating off the back of a sugar daddy.  Arsenal are probably similar only with a lot more recent success.
