The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[MoChara]

We've done well lately at the back with benkovic and boyata fit, I think we can hold Salzburg to a clean sheet especially at home. Not sure how confident I'd be in us pushing on for a win

Benkovic is some upgrade from Jack Hendry. Himself and Boyata have been superb. A quality right back in January and Celtic will be sorted at the back. Unfortunately only be sorted to the summer with Benkovic going back to Leicester and Boyata probably leaving too

Wonder what the chances are of getting Benkovic for another year, still a young player, our problem is he has been playing too well and im sure isn't going unnoticed, reminds me of VVD the way he strolls out and clips passes forward. if we could keep him and Boyata, add a keeper and a RB we would be very close to being a CL side

Injuries, form, transfers and money will all decide if Leicester take him back next year or not-impossible to know at this stage really. Cant see Boyata staying after this year either after the shambles during the summer.

7 in a row! And Rangers go top of the League to add a bit of intrigue to the old firm meeting at the end of the Month!

We will go back top again on Wednesday you'd have to think, still though as you say keeps the old firm interesting

Finally Celtic are getting a bit of competition for the league but how much is it really? We'll find out in good time, for the last number of years anytime a team thought they're genuine contenders Celtic put them in their box. We have picked our performances up recentluy and are def playing better than we did at the start of the year, all being well no more points dropped and go to the Cesspit at the year and beat them again. Slippy G has improved them a bit no doubt on that but they don't have the quality we have and we should beat them again.

I didn't get to see the Cup Final on Sunday due to a funeral (which i had a ticket for the game but couldn't go...ripping) but Rodgers will be pushing for the treble treble which has never been done and will go down in the history books for many a year. Will be tough but January transfers will play a big part in this...fingers crossed.

Who would be on your shopping list?  The Liverpool-Rangers scum-alliance will no doubt mean a few more rejects get off-loaded North of the border to the huns as well.

Celtic are a very difficult club to pick players for...People will argue this next point but we can't affored top quality players, we seem to be in the market for up and coming players to develop and sell on (i'm guessing that's the carrot Celtic dangle in front of them to sign). The top players in Scotland are usually at Celtic and if not they're not good enough to be there, there are we gems out there but it's getting harder and harder to find them. I just hope Celtic have been working on their potential targets from Sept and get it done early...

Listening to Rodgers after the cup final, i think he has a few nearly ready to sign and is hopeful to have them away on the winter break camp to bed in, thats how we should be operating, another Benkovic type, i think a Roberts like loan like the first time where we take him in Jan bed him in and he hits the ground the following season, no point in a Jan to end of season loan for a club like us unless its an opportunity too good to turn down like Bellamy or Robbie Keane.

7 changes tonight... Wow, J Hayes getting another chance tonight... Hope he plays well...
Gordon
Gomboa
Simunovic
Benkovic
Tierney
S Brown
J Hayes
Ntcham
McGregor

[illdecide]

I can see why BR does not play Gamboa much... He's been really poor so far

[MoChara]

And kille go top

[lenny]

And kille go top

Best league in the world. So competitive. Anyone can take points off anyone else on their day.

And kille go top

Would expect us to be 7 points ahead at the winter break but that will depend on us finding the scoring touch.
