The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[marty34]

A bit worried now when i seen the team selection...obviously fitness/injuries has forced NL's hand. I hope i'm wrong but the last time we played a young lad (and small at that) up-front against these hoors we got our asses handed to us on a plate.

Our bench is really strong though which is a bonus and this match could be won from the bench

Hayes at left back again???

Football Focus on now on BBC1. Had a 10 minute piece on John Mc Ginn. The guests on the show say hes worth £40m and one of the best young midfielders in the PL. Couldnt believe they got him for £3m from Hibs. Not one of Celtics better transactions!!!

Yeah, he's a good talent. Well worth that and has been really important in Villa's campaign so far this season.  Celtic were stingy and thought they 'd  get him on the chesp and shaft Hibs - big loss for them.  They tried the same with the Motherwell lad who then didn't pass the medical test.

Well that's bollocks about Turnbull. Celtic would have paid 3.5m if there was no medical issue.
McGinn is good and we let one go there. However, what English clubs are willing to pay for average players should be no slight on Celtic. If McGinn was playing for us and putting in similar performances, there is no way anyone would pay us £40m. We might be lucky to get £30m for Edouard who is twice and more the player McGinn is. Edouard will eventually make a club VanDiyk money.
As for today 3-1 us or I'd take 6-0.

Wrong, they messed about with Turnball and Motherwell first for a few weeks - offering peanuts first, then a few more peanuts before Motherwell told them to wise up and pay what he's worth.

Absolute mince so far, Morgan isn't a even a reserve player.

Big Fraser keeping us in it. A lot of Celtics main men havdnf turned up...Mc Gregor Brown Christie Forrest...all muck so far! Bluenoses the better side so far. French Eddie badly needed at HT.

The only positive from that first half is that it is 0-0!

True - only way it could get worse is if Rangers score. Very poor. Lennon doesn't seem to get his teams up for a battle.  They were under pressure from the first whistle and never got a foothold in game.

He needs to read riot act at half-time and give them them aroasting.

Need to get Eddy on ASAP

Jeez not getting any better in the second half

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Totally undeserved love it

Some last 5 mins. Celtic goal totally against the head. Rangers peno, Frimpong red...peno saved.

25 mins to go.

That Morelos is a p***k.

Celtic were brutal tonight and still won

How the f*** did we win that? Glad to say the better team lost!

The first hour was Rangers but after that Celtic stood up to the challenge, though the game could have done with a Tony Watt moment.
Edouard adds such class, worth twice the money paid.
