The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[From the Bunker]

Embarrassing!

How Rangers did not score more is a mystery?

Fair dues to the Huns they were up for it.

Stevie G's respectfulness at the full time whistle had to be acknowledged.

Celtic were/are a mess.

A few acquisitions needed in January.

Signings needed badly. Serious lack of depth to the squad. Midfield was brutal today. Wtf has happened Brown.

Long term that should work out a good result for Celtic as it will force wholesale changes. Much like the cup game Rangers won a few seasons back.

massive wake up call after that performance the were hungry pressed high and it was error after error,were lucky it wasnt more than 1 barring mc gregors marginal offside effort it wasnt a good performance.

That performance wasn't a surprise in the context of our season so far. Rangers are not very good but today we made them look like a superb team. We were a bit hampered by injuries but we should still have had more than enough to beat them.

The ref had no real bearing on the result but I hate the number of niggly fouls he let them away with. No hiding it and Morelos should have been off three times.

Brown is in his 16th proper season as a professional footballer. He will be 34 at the end of the season. Time has moved on! This is a game he would have reveled in, in the past.

Brown didn't want to know about it today. Neither did 3/4 of the team. In an Old Firm, the one ingredient a team must have is bottle. Rangers had that. They had the crowd on their side early on and drove on.

Should have started with Edouard uptop. To through Johnston into a game of that size was crazy by BR. Boyota's price will drop by about £5m after that shambles. He's a world cup player but he was brutal. The lad from Leicester was equally as bad before he went off.

I don't think Rangers are any better.  Celtic are poorer, a lot poorer from the past 2 years.

Rangers fully deserved the win but how did Morelos get away with a kick at Brown, slapping someone in the balls and raking his studs across a players chest who is lying on the ground? All 3 incidents were in front of the ref.

He's. Horrible cnut and could and should have got red for each of those. As shit as Celtic were I thought they didn't get any fair play from the referee today

[bennydorano]

Letting McGinn slip through their fingers to Villa was a mistake.

[Applesisapples]

Rogers got the team wrong, if Tierney was fit to be on the bench he should have been on the pitch. Too much was expected of Mikey Johnston, Edouard should have started. That said a serious lack of balls around. Good and all as Brown has been, he is a has been. Boyata will be hard to shift in January on that showing and Gordon needs to wise the fcuk up.

[Targetman]

Very poor today but we'll have to suck it up as we've had it so good for so long against them, poor team selection added to the fact that the huns were winning all the 50/50's meant Celtic were struggling from the start, fresh faces required and a few shipped out in January, as for morelos its disappointing not one Celtic player was prepared to give him some back, sums up a bad day!!

What Tyrone done to Kerry in the semi final 2003 Rangers done to Celtic today. They absolutely hounded Celtic and hunted in packs. No one had time on the ball. One nil defeat flattered Celtic, if it wasn't for the keeper it could have easy have been a 3 0 hammering. The only thing for Rangers is they absolutely emptied the tank today and it's very hard to replicate that.

Exactly, they played their max, we were almost at our worst. Celtic are still top with a game in hand. Time off is well needed. Only positive is, BR no longer has that unbeaten tag against them to weigh us down. Similar to when the invincibles eventually were beaten, it was almost a relief.

Agreed, in the law of averages you have to lose sometime, we just weren't at the races today, rangers by far the better team but some of the players needed that kick, for too long we've just turned up against rangers and rolled them over, defeat is a great motivator. Listen, top of the league headed into the winter break with a game in hand, league cup in the bag l, European football after Christmas and a Scottish cup to go for. Still a lot to get going for
