The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Main Street]

The 2nd half was a lesser half.
The new lad got a decent run out, he's fleet of foot
and he's taken over big Victor's nr 67.

He is a lot more than that, he plays the game the way Rodgers loves the game to be played, with class, style and imagination, this kid is going to thrive big style under Rodgers, he is going to need steel around him and Broony is starting to get up there.

If he stays healthy he will form a lethal partnership with Dembele and Griffiths and will have the comfort of knowing he has Ntcham and Brown in his corner doing the dirty work, I am loving this signing, I really am.

I am the master of the understatement, Stew.
Besides that, I don't have such a vivid crystal ball vision as you have.

This formation needs an enforcer Brown at the top of his game to keep it grounded.

Think BR got the men in he wanted during the transfer window so that's a result, we played a lot better against the Jam Tarts so hopefully thats a sign of things to come the rest of the season...on a side note...read this tripe.

Hearts manager Craig Levein has urged more protection for players when they come up against Celtic's Scott Brown.

Midfielder Harry Cochrane suffered an injury to his collarbone after a challenge from the Celtic captain during Hearts' defeat on Tuesday.

Levein was asked if young players require more action from referees.

"Yes of course," he replied. "I think everybody should get a bit more protection from Scott Brown really. But we will see."

Brown has picked up nine yellow cards this season but was last sent off against Ross County in April - his only red card in three seasons.

Following the 32-year-old's challenge, Cochrane had to be replaced with Prince Buaben after 38 minutes of Hearts' 3-1 defeat.

And the 16-year-old will miss this weekend's Scottish Premiership meeting with St Johnstone as a result of his injury.

"I was annoyed about that," said Levein, who was midfielder Brown's manager with the Scotland international team.

"I watched it back and I think Scott had decided after the game at Tynecastle, when Harry bossed him, he wasn't going to let that happen.

"I've known Scott for a long time and he is aggressive in the way he plays."

Hearts are still assessing how long the Cochrane, who scored in Hearts' 4-0 win over Celtic in December, will be sidelined for.

"I don't know, but he'll certainly be out for the next two or three matches by the looks of things," Levein said.

What's the thoughts on the additions of Morgan and Hendry?  Do they improve the squad much?

I believe they have been bought for long term projects, potential is springing to mind. A bit of coaching and training with better players will hopefully fulfill that potential. Not a big risk TBH as they're proven Scottish footballers and can clearly cut it playing in Scotland, if they improve under BR for the better training and coaching and progress to the next level then it's worked out well...if not they're still decent Scottish players which didn't cost the club big money...Win win

18 month deal though

[Targetman]

Levein's a tool, just seen Brown's challenge and he just fell awkwardly on the lad, he says all players need protecting from Broony and this coming from one who broke a teammate's nose in a pre season friendly, the new signings are for the long term but hope Musonda brings more excitement to Celtic Park for the rest of the season, and the story about Morelos going to China is hilarious!

No not necessarily.  McGregor just needs to be more consistent, a decent player and i think BR likes his style and work ethic

Well Bhoys it is all going a bit pear shaped.A bit like Brendan's second season at Liverpool.A poor Rangers team with a temporary manager are second and not all that far off.Big month coming up for Brendan.A credible showing against Zenit is a must

[From the Bunker]

Zenit is all that matters! Of course Partick next weekend needs to be got past. Celtic can afford to drop some points in the League being 11 points in front. Rangers dropped points today as well!

Rangers' fans departing yet again to the raucous strains of "there's only one Neil Lennon" was more than decent compensation.

Wonder would Lennon ever be considered for the (Rep.) Ireland Job?

I'd like to see him given a shot at it. 

[Targetman]

Very poor performance from Celtic today, got what they deserved and picked up 2 more injuries, too many below par performances and really missing the creativity of the likes Roberts
