The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Club Rossa]

Would love to see a striker that can put away his chances.Samaras and Fortune get into great scoring positions but aren't clinical enough.
For the amount of chances they create Celtic should have scored twice as many goals.The recent games with Hearts and Rangers showed that.

[JohnDenver]

Would be good to see McGinn get an extended run in the team now with Robson moving.  He could become a regular if given the chance.

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Rossie no more midfielders!!!
We need another CB and a decent forward, that should win us the title (Caldwell going has probably saved 5-7 points) and then more changes in the summer.

Any word on the alleged Old Firm rapist in yesterdays Daily Mail?

Old Firm player Allan McGregor if this is to be believed.

SPL - McGregor denies sex assault claim
PA Sport - Fri, 15 Jan 07:45:00 2010
   
Police are investigating allegations that Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor sexually assaulted a young woman.

McGregor has not been arrested and in reports denied the claim as a "vile lie".

The 27-year-old, who has also played for Scotland, has been involved with Rangers for 11 years.

Strathclyde Police said officers were probing the claim.

A police spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received a complaint which is being investigated."

Obviously we don't know if there's any truth to it but can you imagine the outcry if it was a Celtic player,or am i just being paranoid?

[lynchbhoy]

whatever about the allegation on mcgregor - false or true

I just dont like that the paper reported it as a sports player rapist, let alone an 'old firm' rapist

but I suppose that helps sell papers - I find it disgusting though.

it has nothing to do with sport

Another shite performance and another two points dropped that will probably hand the title to Rangers. A lot of you wanted Caldwell out and O Dea back, well I hope you are happy as he gave away the goal to-day. Did Caldwell play for Wigan in their 2-0 win at Wolves?As for Mowbray, surely he must go now and Lambert recruited next week. What a turn roud he has brought about at Norwich. They were beaten 7 0 at home to Colchester (Lambert was in charge of Colchester at the time) in the opening game of the season. In the reverse fixture to-day Norwich won 5-0. He has shown that he can direct a team that socres plenty and concedes few.

[Club Rossa]

Caldwell did play against Wolves but he's still s***e.

[T Fearon]

Was he not recently Scotland's Player of the Year? Not saying he's top class, but FFS Beckenbauer in his prime would be crap in the current Celtic defence. Say what you like about Strachan but we did not concede awful goals consistently under his reign. Also I think that Killen's claim that Mowbray deliberately set out to disillusion some players and the resulting adverse impact this has had on overall team morale (which seems to be rock bottom) are worth investigating and if found to be true Mowbray should be sent packing immediately.

This season a write off now.

[Club Rossa]

Celtic conceded plenty of awful goals under Strachan last season in my opinion,but i agree with you about Mowbray.
It's just not happening for him and i reckon he will do well to last the season.

[T Fearon]

In fairness, it seems as if he wasn't first choice (Owen Coyle?) and probably not even second choice. It seems to me the Board prioritised recruiting a "Celtic man" over a proven managerial winner. At the end of the day the "Celtic man" stuff is nonsense as Wim and Strachan weren't Celtic men but still won trophies.

I think Lambert has done enough now to prove that he is a more capable manager than Mowbray, who seems to me to be just too nice. This team is under achieving big time, Rangers with a much more astute manager are over achieving and its scandalous given the respective financial state of both clubs

You would know a lot about not being a "Celtic man" ye Spurs bollocks. What has Paul Lambert done in management that makes him more capable than Tony Mowbray?

[tyroneStatto]

was at the game yesterday. i knew it was going to be a bad day when naylor, mcmanus & o'dea  were starting in the back four. i do rate o'dea but he's just back from being on loan where he hardly played any football - he was very rusty. o'dea did cost the goal but i thought boruc could have done better for the goal as well. fortune was very poor and hardly got a kick and there just seemed to be no cutting edge up front. overall it was hard to take any positives from the game and it looks like mowbray is on borrowed time.

Moderator. I would be grateful if you could examine redgghand's post and decide if his reference to me as a "Spurs bollox" constitutes personal abuse and merits the invocation of the disciplinary code. Thanks
