The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Milltown Row2]

Some start by Hibs!

Rangers will go top should they win today.. Steve G making a fist of it anyways

[illdecide]

I swear to God, that team will put me in St Luke's...talking about inconsistancy...brutal stuff.

Terrible today, BR has to take a lot of blame for the tactics both goals came from long diagonal balls into the space the full back should be in, so much space it was laughable. Fair enough we had a lot of players out but the team were so so poor in every department, really need to sort something in January a few rabbits need pulled out of hats

I don't think it's about other teams improving or getting better this year - it's just Celtic are poorer. Dropping points away from home more regularly. Even picking up a draw away from home instead of losing would make a difference.

quite a few of the celtic players seem mentally weak and are unable to cope away from home.
big signings needed in january or forget about the league.

Satan's teams are top in both England and Scotland. Throw Brexit, Trump and neo Nazism on the rise into the mix - the end of the world  could be around the corner.

We've picked up 12 points from a possible 27 away from home this season, when things are going bad there's not enough players willing to or able to get us back on track, really need to improve the squad in January or the unthinkable could become a reality!!

With their available resources, Celtic should be winning this by 10 points every season. If the Huns beat them to the SPL this year the board may just sack Brendy and all the players and start again.

Could've been better, could've been worse. One thins sure we will need to play better than in last two games.
Good news is the winter break is coming up and we may have new players in place by the Valencia tie. Always the optimist.

Valencia will maul that Celtic Team, Brendan seems to have lost his way, no-one will want him either if he can't win the SPL given the difference in resources so Celtic are stuck with him. Needs to ring the changes in January.

[From the Bunker]

Looking at Valencia's La Liga form, they look to be a difficult side to beat. But their 3-10-3 record from 16 games would not make them a team not to fear. Thing is Celtic are less than average in Europe, especially away.

A lot of Celtic's problems stem from Craig Gordon in goals. Would prob take a draw here and at ibrox, then get a few decent players in January.

Also can't see how that was a penalty for Aberdeen and that was a disgraceful tackle by Niall McGinn which only merited a yellow.

Clearly a pen. Took the legs from under McGinn in the box. No controversy whatsoever.

Celtic playing like they want to be somewhere else. Scored early goal and have tried to coast ever since. Some of Boyata's passing is Sunday league level.

Hopefully a bit of the hairdryer from BR will get them back on track second half.

Izaguirre is a liability - he's a 2nd rate left back at this stage. Only came back to Celtic as a cover player and is poor enough. 

Kieran Tierney is a big miss.  I'd be hoping he's back for the Old Firm in a few days.  BR mustn't have wanted to take a chance on him today.
