The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Main Street]

U20's WC is a big deal,  Timothy's a good prospect, I hope he fares better than Roberts in the next few years even if it's not with PSG.

As bad as I've seen Celtic play. Massive kick up the hole needed.

If this contuines, more questions for Lennon. Not motivated at all - like last game at Ibrox.

Need a bit of fortune to get back into this game.

[Walter Cronc]

Jonny Hayes needs the hook.

[Targetman]

Very poor performance, they need some bollocking at h-t!!

[Milltown Row2]

Great bet, Celtic nothing to play for

[thebar]

Could be a blessing in disguise this match...it shows exactly where Celtic are performance wise...how many points have they picked up in the last few minutes of matches on the road to the title...some quality now required to be added to squad for next season. The managerial decision is also required asap. Momentum is a wonderful thing and slowly Rangers are getting there..Now up to Celtic Board to step up and spend a few pound, the squad was ok to cope with this season but not another.

10 in a row looking dodgy, some major investment required now.  Not doing the 10 in a row would be unforgivable at this stage!  Not looking good now for Lennon's prospects.

Abysmal display, the only shot on target was a fluffed effort. Lennon at risk of fluffing the treble.

[JimStynes]

I don't think Lennon is the man to lead Celtic to the 10 in a row. I would love to see him being in charge with him being a local man and a proper Celtic man but I don't think he is good enough to do it. The board need to step up and make significant investment because if massive changes aren't made Rangers will win the league next year. They are still shite but Celtic are now also shite, the difference is Rangers are an improving side under Gerrard and Celtic are getting worse. Rangers fully deserved the victory today.

shocking as they were that was a criminal miss by burke. Get him back to WBA quick and they can send that german right back home as well - he's brutal

Flanagan should have been off for the elbow. Maybe if the ref hadn't sh*t it then it might have made a difference but on the whole the hungrier team won. It doesn't make them world beaters but they are getting better. I really hope Lennon doesn't get the job - he deserves great credit for stepping in and securing the title (and hopefully treble) but he isn't a long term answer

[Main Street]

There will be no 9 in a row should Lennon stay on.
You'd hope the next manager is appointed as soon as possible and has time to sign a few players of his choosing.
Celtic/Rodgers were foolish playing hard ball with Boyata, now he will be gone on a free.

[ned]

Of that team that started today the only first team regulars next year will be Simunovic, Ajer, McGregor, Edouard and possibly Brown and Bain and Rogic if he can stay fit. Considering the injuries, the rat leaving and the abject transfer policy we still won the league without hitting top form at just about anytime this season.

[illdecide]

TBH i just dunno what to think, it's too easy to say Celtic have one eye on the cup final as that's not acceptable either playing them'uns. Looking back now Lennon has been proven right not to play the players on loan up until today when it was force on him with injuries as they're brutal. Burke & Toljan are really poor. Rogic when on top form is good but by Jasus when he's poor (which seems more often than not) he's pure dung.

Missing these four players today was massive but a club like Celtic should have a squad to handle this as majority of teams have players missing most of the time. S Brown is almost finished and there are another few who are just not good enough for Celtic...None of this is Neil Lennon's fault as it's the team he has inherited ( a lot of you are forgetting this).
No matter who is the new manager they'll have their work cut out for them in the summer as major reinvestment is needed, Sevco have been lucky too this year as Kent is a great player they've got on loan from Liverpool and if they can keep him for another year it'll be a great piece of business. Slippy G will def be an asset for them getting loan players from Liverpool and the like.

Next year will be very interesting indeed and if the Celtic Board don't see the signs and react by major investment during the summer then they deserve all they get coming to them...

No bite in team in first half at Ibrox...again.  Lennon said he spoke to them at half-time but they were just as bad in second half.  To me, I'd question that big time.

Need new manager sorted asap and get 5 or 6 new players in over summer as well as trimming panel - far too many average players bench hugging.  Get shot of them, cut first team squad and free up wages.  Supplement with youth players.

Need 9-in-a-row at least. Board must spend. 

This year is a lesson learned!
