Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

Also read some posts regarding Biton.

Biton is a brilliant player in a 'non-old firm Celtic. ' Good when he gets time to play the game and make a pass.

As seen today, when he comes up against it like he will at least 4 times a season now against rangers (returning to the most important fixtures of the year) he's not got the bottle.

If we could get a decent bid from down south, we should all chip in and pay his travel.

Not what we need going forward.

Through the hard times and the good.

Disagree, there are plenty others who should be shipped out before Bitton and he is one of our best players, under-performing under this imposter of a manager and playing alongside one of the worst midfield Celtic players I've had the misfortune of enduring for such a long period. Bitton has shown in Europe that he will be a very important member of our midfield for years to come under a new manager who instills a proper team fighting spirit. Have a look at the quality he possesses on YT of clips of him in Europe against the likes of Inter, he also stepped up this season and chipped in with a few goals against Malmo and Ajax. Quality player who we're lucky wants to remain a part of Celtic and seems to have caught the Celtic bug. Put Rogic beside him and you'll see a different player from what he was today, he's also good for height in the box at set pieces.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Apr 2016 00:46:04
His quality is without doubt, it may be his style of play but I feel it is reasonable to call his drive into question.

Never looked particularly enthusiastic about the occasion. Feel moving forward Celtic need more bite, what we were lacking in abundance today.

It's all fine and well trying to play slick controlling passing football, but when you've got the likes of Andy Halliday in your face biting at you, he didn't look upto scratch.

Throw in a cauldron of hate and 60,000 fans, and I don't feel he's the right man for the job.

First time post. A victim of the circumstances you could say, more directly Ronny Delia.

With regard to today's performance, I don't think il be going against the grain when I say it was woeful. The most difficult Celtic game for many years.

I think this is without doubt the nail in Delias coffin. He has managed to get by this season due to a laughable SPL, but now he has came up against a challenge, he crumbled. And make no mistake of it. They are a challenge, whether we like it or not, they are back.

However in a strange turn of events today could ultimately lead in a positive outcome? Had we won 2-1 today would there have been whole scale changes in the summer and a change in management? Debatable. Surely after this delia and half his comrades (looking at you johansen) are due the door.

We need a proper Celtic manager, someone who knows what it means to play for the club, and players who know what it mean to play for Celtic. My heart tells me Moyes and a striker along the lines of Fletcher, my head tells me a nobody from back of beyond and a Jason Cummings type.

If Celtic use this it could be the passion needed to defend the title next year. Whether this will be the case I am unsure about.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Through the hard times and the good.

Couldn't agree more. Really felt we'd give them a right turning over today providing we turned up and yet again in the big games Deila and his team ( for whatever the reason) are posted missing. Not nearly good enough and BIG BIG changes are required starting right now, not the end of the season. If nothing else today should serve as a huge reminder to lawell, Desmond etc that the product isn't nearly good enough for Celtic and if they want the fans back through the gates of parkhead then they better take they're heads out they're arses and see what's going on!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Apr 2016 00:41:59
I'm still unsure after that performance of Rangers played really well at times or if we were just that bad in stages.

Delia along with a host of Celtic players over the last four years have been lucky, lucky they've not been there. Players like GMS just now or Pukki previously I wouldn't even consider to be proper Celtic players, keeping in mind they haven't faced and tested themselves in a proper old firm. They are getting found out now and look way out their depth.

With this in mind however, I would say rangers aren't a particularly good team. With right management and players (big ask after recent years) they could easily be put in their place.

Eyes on you Mr Lawell. More than ever.

We all remember how it felt losing Old Firm games with better managers/ players than we have now.
However, I reckon losing for the first time against lower Div Sevco has got to be an all time low for me and it's very hard to take.
This season has produced far too many poor performances, basic errors and out of form players and it's virtually impossible to name half a dozen games where the team played like champions and everyone reached the levels and consistency that is demanded at Celtic.
Far too often RD is not getting the best out of players and his hesitancy, nerves, fear and inexperience is manifesting itself on the pitch.
I had never heard of Warburton and took a dislike to him as soon as he opened his mouth, but today he organised a team of misfits into a unit that out thought, out fought and out played us for spells in a game that we were chasing all afternoon, sadly out of touch.
I don't think our manager will resign as he is too stubborn and thick to realise the mess we are in, but we need to let the board know how unhappy we are with the complacency policy of 2012 and get the right people in to sort this out right now.

Anyone watch the highlights of the semi final? Watched the player taking the penalty (celtic) in slow-mo as he places his foot before taking the kick with his other one, the turf actually raises and then the player puts the ball over.

Ronny out now, this is one of the worst Celtic teams in years, a crap 2nd division rangers team had Celtic all over the park n the first half and it's not good enough. If we stick this guy we won't be going anywhere in the future and has to be replaced in the summer with a few players shipping out aswell. thank god i have my Tennants lager and my spliffs to calm me down tonight.

Hang your heads in shame everyone that puts one more penny into Celtic, the problem is us we feed the greed, 4 years to move forward and they stood still, not one more penny will I put in to something I love so much to see these parasites rape it, how dare they call themselves one of us time for us too take are club back, I personly have over 2 thousand pounds worth of shares to put forward and my season ticket money for me and my bhoy next season to get rid of these cu%ts.

Is Souness right?
Did we fail to take advantage of the last four years?
selling our best players, losing supporters, crap European qualifying games behind a cheap rookie manager potentially gauged on the league team performance behind us.
What's our future now, Lennon back, will the board invest?
I doubt it, it's a worrying future ahead for us.
Ambition and desire is not there at the moment.
This defeat is a hard pill to swallow.
Hail Hail ✊🍀.

Yes and no. The fact is we've gotten worse but the attraction of moving to a one team league where you have 3 tricky qualifiers to even get CL isn't there for players when before we could offer 4 rangers games per season minimum.

Worst performance ever today made a group of journeymen look good, whilst it is a given that the 3 stooges must go now and Liewell with them who would you keep from the playing staff,
GK - nobody
Df - Eric Simo teirney
Mid - bitton rogic robberts poss Christie
Att - Griffins
Everyone else must go especially Scott brown whose contribution today was to be lamentable at both goals and then miss a penalty. big job for the new manager.

Tonight is too early to make any rash comments or decisions about Celtic, our players and our management . I am hurting so much after what I seen today that I just wouldn't make any reasonable points .

Agree0 Disagree2

17 Apr 2016 23:10:17
U never make reasonable points! Rash decisions! That makes it sound like that today was a one off! There is only one decision, and that is clear out the whole management team straight away! Today was embarrassing but this is just the final straw after 2 seasons of humiliation in Europe and decline in the SPL! There isn't even an argument anymore! If this guy and his backroom staff are in charge for the next League game then lawell and his cronies should walk to!

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 23:13:09
Old bhoy there is nothing rash about Wanting RD and some of the players gone. This isn't just based on today but more the decline of our club over the last two seasons! Today was the straw that broke the camels back.

He left because he was told after lawell sold anyone that could kick a ball, ther was no money for him, why do you think jmb fuc%ed off first he didn't even want to hang around waiting to tie things up, no wonder the club is a laughing stock, full boycott of the rest of the season is the only way forward.

And you know that how? Boycott! heard it all now.

17 Apr 2016 20:52:21
After the dust has settled, I'm left disappointed, disappointed in the lack of fight we showed today, every single player should of been fired up to win there battle, it's a fight that has been missing since Lennon left! To many average players walking around like they are superstars, we are a very a Average team under Delia, he seems a nice guy, but nice doesn't get you respect, people walk over nice people cause they know they can, and that's the way it looks with the Celtic players no one fears Getting the hairdryer treatment at half time when clearly they have not been good enough! Where do we go from here? Personally I would send a message to all the players! They have let not only themselves down but they have let There manager down! Sack Ronny ASAP get someone in with Fire in there belly who might rattle a few cages! This is Glasgow Celtic it's a privilege to play for this club let a new manager come in now! Asses the current squad and get rid of the crap at the end of the season and bring in boys who are willing to fight for the badge and that are proud to call themselves Celtic Player! Major changes needed! To many players just not good enough to be anywhere near Celtic park! But start off with finding a manager who won't let anyone off with being average, avarage is not good enough!

drb I have been saying this for a while now. Problem starts at boardroom level. However, RD is struggling to maintain any credibility with the manner of our defeats. Players are clueless. gutless and as for being professionals.?
There just does not seem to be any plan B when Plan A is failing. We were fortunate to get as far as penalties. can't really blame the ref this time.
All I can say Bhoys is when you get shit from the undead - congratulate them on reaching their first ever major Cup Final.

Where was the fitness levels that Ronny so loves to bang on about today. We were outfought, outplayed and certainly less fitter than a bang average rangers side. Ronnys done nothing but bang on about progression and fitness levels from day one yet 2 years down the line the guys still no got a clue as to his best starting 11 and the fitness levels are a disgrace. Rangers fully deserved that victory today as much as it pains me to say it but I couldn't believe brown stepped up to take a penalty. Yes he's our captain but if u watched brown especially the last 5 mins of the extra time he was hobbling about and holding his hamstring. Fair enough he might have had to take a pen eventually but not one of the first 5, especially if he was struggling.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 20:10:32
It's obvious to everyone with a football brain that RD is finished, no way could you come back from this. The question is really who would want the job? Whilst I agree RD is a diddy along with his back room staff, Who would want to work under the biggest biscuit tin in world football? I personally would give the job to Lennon until the end of the season just to make sure we actually win the league! Least he will get the fight back into some of the players. Hope everyone who attended the game got home safe. HH.

17 Apr 2016 20:23:10
Totally agree mate. I said the same to my mate today. Enough is enough Ronny and his back room staff need to go now, put Lenny in charge till end of season then get the right man in. People will say give RD till the end of the season but I'm sorry the performances this season as a whole and especially today aren't close to being good enough and come the end of the season I'd put half of them on the transfer list. Far too many inferior players not pulling they're weight. Either the players aren't playing for RD or RD can't motivate them because that's as poor a Celtic side as I've seen in many a year.

Agree8 Disagree5

17 Apr 2016 20:31:17
How could any one want RD in charge until the end of the season? We need someone in now to make sure of the league! Losing the league isn't to far off a possibility!

I think either Briggs or the poeticpatient posted to me "after all you have been through, this is just a game of football after all"
I agree but like every Celtic fan on here and around the world I feel like I have been kicked in the ghoolies by a 30stone man, I am sick to my stomach, not because we lost a cup semi final (again) or lost to the tribute act (who deserved it as their team fought for each other and their manager) but because this board and manager have taken us backwards.
I know I will not sleepwell tonight, but I hope all us Celtic fans wake in the morning feeling a little bit better.

Now I've to go into work and deal with Zombies and jambos all excited that they've done us over! I was all for Ronny but now he's got to go and either give it to Lenny to bring back the thunder or get a manager in who they'll actually back with no bloody John Collins.

Feel the same RE the kick in the stones. I don't think waking up tomorrow will make me feel any better.

They are a bang average side who we made look like world beaters today. I'm not going to start blasting individual players as I'm sure there is a word count on posts but I though Erik and Tierney were a few positives today.

I just can't see any way back for this management team and the board should hang their heads in shame at the embarrassment we have become in the last 4 years.

Never was the man for the job.

JC is part of this shambles and any attempt to place him in charge must be met with the response it deserves.

Vowed i wouldn't post until RD was gone, even in my silence i hoped for his and Celtics sake he could prove me wrong. Sadly its come to this, and he will be gone, sooner the better for his and our clubs sake. We are ALL Celtic fans together, and we all want the best for Celtic. let's not bicker among ourselves as to who is right and wrong, its not going to help. We all have to pull in the same direction from this day forward. No one has the right to say they support the club more than others due to the amount of cash spent, that's vulgar. From the poorest man on the street to the well to do in a lush mansion, we are all equal in the emotions we feel for the club. Todays a bad day, we get over it and get on with it. Change is afoot and we must wipe the slate clean with each other and get behind the next manager. Chins up all. hail hail.

It's kind of a bad thing If I am honest a small percentage of me kinda expected that obviously I wanted celtic to pump them and put them in their place and all their loved up press reporters in the smsm but I admit they were up for it more the three in midfield for us were are too similar can't keep the ball can't pass and no pace? But that's the glamour of the cup always prone to throw up a shock. The sfa must be bricking it as if Sevco do win the cup will the actually be able to take up their place in Europe next year does the four year old club meet the criteria?

Believable2 Unbelievable3

17 Apr 2016 18:23:41
The bottom line is simple: Sevco are a team with spirit and fight and we are a team with neither. We can blame the board all we like about how they haven't invested etc. etc. and a lot of that criticism would be true, we can also blame certain players for not trying hard enough and a lot of that criticism would be true too but a decent manager can instil a bit of pride and passion in the players he has at his disposal. Ronny ain't such a manager. He has struggled from day one in the job and when he's faced with a challenge he simply doesn't know how to cope with it. He still looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights and whilst he is trying to do the job well he has reached a level of incompetence. He doesn't have the qualities we need.

or B. sit back (round about 15/ 20 yards INSIDE your own half) ,
then hit them on the counter, as we have players who are suited to that strategy.

Team never showed up today. Rangers settled better and had more confidence. All season midfield trio of SB NB SJ have been terrible. Rangers were in front twice and we we never going to catch them, especially with LG shooting from everywhere instead of working the pressure.

Whether RD is there next season or not, one thing I will not tolerate is another fan blaming people like me for the team failing. I buy shares, strips and season books and am entitled to back the manager and whoever I want when I want. Posting on here 'bye bye' to fans is disgusting.

Regardless of the team performance and the RD debate, seriously take a look at yourselves.

That performance today from start to finish was a disgrace. Make no bones about it that performance has to rank up there with one of the worst Celtic displays of all times. No fight, no hunger, no desire absolutely nothing. Only positive today YET AGAIN was young Tierney. The rest can hang they're heads in shame. It was like the players refused to tackle or win the ball back. For me Ronny goes now. Not tomorrow, next month or next year NOW! As for the players, half (and I'm being generous on that) can leave at the end of the season aswell. If that's the kind of performance those players think is acceptable then they can feck off. As for our board they want to hand they're heads in shame aswell. If they want a decent turn out of fans back at parkhead they better act fast.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

17 Apr 2016 17:01:05
Hmmmmm.

Just back. Where to begin.

First half, Rangers blew us away. Yes they got lucky with their goal, yes we missed an absolute sitter but we were chasing shadows for most of the first 45. They had more desire, more will and the truth is RD got it wrong big time with team selection. Whatever was going on with Boyata, Svia should have started. When he came on, he was immense - and is far and away our best defender. If he wasn't 100%, he shouldn't have been on the bench. That decision cost us big time because we wasted one of our subs, which was more telling as the game wore on. By extra time there were more than a few blowing out their ass and we could have used the opportunity to change it up.

PR's head went after that miss and he didn't want the ball. I felt sorry for him - no one seemed to take him aside and wrap an arm around him. He's a young boy. Misses happen. Head up. Crack on.

SJ was very poor, as was SB. I'd struggle to even slate GMS simply because I can barely remember him having a touch. We sat so deep, and our pressing was non existent.

On a slightly different note, I think Scott Brown is done. I don't say that lightly but watching the game today, he was all over the place. Time, and injuries, have caught up with him. He was never about a killer pass, a goal threat etc - it was always about his engine, his pressing, his energy. But it's not there. Much like a Torres, Owen, who's main asset was their pace/ acceleration, was that goes it becomes difficult for them to be as effective. With his energy, and hustle, there is very little reason for Scott Brown to be in the team. As I say, that's not a conclusion I come to easily, nor take pleasure in. It's been evident for the last few weeks that the younger, more energetic midfielders in Scotland, run rings around him. He was chasing shadows today and it's even more evident in the flesh as the camera tracks the ball.

Moving on.

In the second half we came out strong but once we got our goal we let them back into it. As good as they were (and as poor as we were) I really thought that had we gone ahead, they would have struggled.

The introduction of Rogic gave us way more of a threat - but McGregor was a strange one. I have zero time for CKR but given our insistence at playing long cross diagonal balls for non existent flick ons, he should have been introduced. It would have also given us extra physicality, and a bit more balance which we lack. If you have a player on the right that cuts in (PR) you need a full back that overlaps - but ML doesn't have the legs. So we are narrow. Perversely on the left we have a player (GMS) who stays/ stayed on the touchline, and a full back that wants to overlap (KT) so they are at odds. Like I say, the balance was shot.

In ET, yes there was a bit of a kafaffle for our/ their throw in, but it was a wonder strike - as in, I wonder where our midfield were. Honestly, the amount of times simple triangles bamboozled our central two (SB/ NB) was ridiculous. It was like Pro Evo circa 2002.

And yet, even with all that - we should have won. But for a bounce to the left (rather than the right) LG's free kick wins it.

Only KT and Svia can hold their heads high after that, and Rogic did well when he came on - and he made us better.

Finally, with PKs, I thought our choice was odd. Notably ML and SB. Yes ML scored but there were other players I'd have had before them. For Rangers to miss their penalty (having gone first) and us to miss (twice! ) in the follow up is unforgivable. You need to score THAT penalty for the pressure pendulum to swing. Once it went to sudden death I felt it was only a matter of time before we bottled it.

So yes, all in all, bitterly disappointed - more so with the performance than the result. Bizarrely I was more gutted when we were beaten by ICT last year and RC this year. I'm not sure why, perhaps because even had we won on penalties my gut feeling would have been the same. The performance, and a few players in particular have really let themselves down. And I say themselves (as opposed to the fans/ club/ shirt) because it's probably going to cost RD his job - and RD's the only reason some of them are (still) here.

One last thing though, to give some balance to all the doom and gloom:

In the Director's lounge afterward, and on the radio driving home, the cry was that Rangers had played unbelievably well and we had played extremely poorly, which for what it's worth, I agree with on both counts. Now, this was said before the game, and in the run up to it; if Rangers play to their strength and Celtic have a poor game etc - Rangers have a chance. Now however, people are saying that the gap doesn't exist, Rangers can challenge for the title and so on.

All I'll say is this:

We did play very poorly.

Rangers did play extremely well.

And yet, even with that in mind, we could have, and should have still won. Forget about missing open goals and the ball bouncing left rather than right at the death. We bottled it TWICE in the shootout and would have still scraped across the line despite how poor (and great) they had played.

I still think there is a gap. It's just a question of whether or not it, or RD, will be there next season.

No TPP not for me! no more your synopsis of the first half the game in general is okay

But this keek under RD is a game to far! This "Le Guen" throwback has and NEVER will work in our league!

Mowbray, Barnes, Le Guen now RD they don't get it

OUR game is about FIGHT! That's it not pretty, not conventional, NO style you win the fight you win the match

I am sick to death of watching this utter keek under RD! I want back the games we are up easily after bulldozing our opponents!

If RD is still there TONIGHT! He should be hunted another bad experiment gone badly wrong IMO

We were out fought, out played, out matched! and RD never had an answer as per usual

Jamie, I'm in total agreement mate.

It wasn't acceptable at all (especially the first half) and I am, and continue to be, mortified by the whole thing.

To be clear re the last point: that wasn't even about RD, or him recovering from today. In all honesty I don't think he can/ will. I was just making the point that it's an emotional time and a lot of people can (and will) go over board on how good Rangers are. My contention is that despite us playing at our worst, and them playing at their best, we still nearly (and SHOULD have) won, be that in ET or in penalties.

Poeticpatient, I know we had a disagreement the other day, but I think your summing up of the match was pretty accurate.
In last years semi final we could at least point to a terrible refereeing decision, and a sending off as reasons for our defeat, but the thing that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth this time is that we were beaten by a hungrier team.
As you said the only comfort you can take from it is that they played to their maximum and we were awful, but on chances created we still should have won.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 21:51:34
Agreed Gerry. I honestly think my anger stems from the fact that I was so disgusted by the end that I doubt winning on penalties would have changed my, or anyone else's, mind on what I had witnessed. Had we won, we would have stolen it - and that's incomprehensible. A team of rejects and journeymen, but a team none the less. We should be wiping the floor with them, but more than that, we should be matching their desire - and we didn't. That I can't accept.

I know there is an argument that we had x shots, and they had 2/ 3 and scored a wonder goal etc but anyone who watched that game, especially in person, has to admit they toyed with us in the first 45 minutes. We had no shape, no real hunger and worst of all, no plan. I was slated by Precious a few weeks ago for saying Warburton has done a good job (in relative terms) and I stand by that. You look at Rangers, 8/ 9/ 10 months in and there is a different, discernible style of play from the team that Ally left.

We have better players, I still believe that, but what I witnessed today was a team lacking in heart, in bottle, and in fight. And that's unacceptable.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 16:26:53
Well chewing my words from earlier. Seen a lot of better team won on the day, by my accounts it was a penalty shootout. So I want to know why such a harsh statement.

By any means I'm more gutted that we've had 4 years to capitalise on their fall. I mean out of all the millions we've made we've got a third/ fourth class team club wise. I don't see us anytime soon competing at champions league or even Europa league level. I personally see us struggling to win the 10 in a row that we recklessly shout about.

We don't deserve what we're getting but unfortunately we've been sold a dummy with this side. Need a good few players in need and a new approach to management. No harsh feelings to ronnie but he needed to be adaptive. We need a fitter side, more tactically aware we should of had a side strong enough to play 433 in the Scottish game and 451 in Europe. Even 442 against the likes of 2nd class teams the ajaxs and fenebarche but we've falling that far we can't compete or even defend against them.

Got to say but highly impressed by some of the players we have ie Tierney, Griffiths, sviatchenko and Roberts. Good basis to start.

Big broonie now passed it time to pass the Baton. Lustig not fit enough to play rb anymore time to move him to the centre. Johanson needs to go along with boyata, commons, Armstrong and GMS.

We need guys who are going to cut it at the top level.
Fingers cross for next season. COYBIG.

@timalloy. Who the hell do you think you are blaming supporters for that result today? So what if some fans backed the manager. I seem to remember not to long ago you came on here and admitted you were wrong about RD and were willing to give him a chance! You should wind your neck in. After what you have went through recently, you should realise there is more to life than football!

Believable7 Unbelievable2

17 Apr 2016 17:22:18
I agree.

I really don't think this is the time for point scoring - I don't see what it brings. As well as which it's a totally disingenuous attack because it suggests that had Celtic won, people would have suddenly supported RD 100% -- which was never going to happen. He was damned either way TBH, and is almost certainly going to go sooner or later - but there's no need to lord it up over fellow fans who wanted to support the manager.

Agree3 Disagree3

17 Apr 2016 17:38:22
@Briggs I blame all the so called fans like you kept saying "give Delia a chance" well we all DID give him a chance but he was always struggling as he is a very poor manager, all his promises of "getting us fitter" in all our european games and even today we looked off the pace, that is down to the manager no one else.
@Poeticpatient I am not point scoring as you say, I have said from day one this man was not up to the job and sadly I have been proven right, but it is fans like both of you and lots others who have kept this clown in his job, he should have gone sooner, much sooner.
I guarantee there will be more than me not renewing my season tickets until big changes are made at the club, watch the reaction of the vast majority of Celtic fans they will ensure Deila, Collins, and hopefully Parks and Lawwell will go.

Agree2 Disagree2

17 Apr 2016 17:58:08
-Tim

The very fact you use a statement proclaiming how you have called it from day one as evidence of your point, is exactly why it's point scoring. It's "I'm right, you're wrong" stuff. I understand that it's an emotional time, I just don't see how you blaming other fans helps anyone, least of all the club.

One thing I do take exception too is the:

"fans like both of you and lots others who have kept this clown in his job"

First of all, my season tickets last year and this year won't decide whether or not Ronny is or isn't in a job. My continued attendance to games that were half empty, and continued support of the team, won't decide whether or not Ronny is or isn't in a job. I have never been an RD defender, nor have I been one of the RD out brigade. My reluctance to demand he is fired daily does not make me ignorant to/ of his failings.

My opinion is the same today as it was yesterday, and the week before, and so on:

The problems (and malaise) at the club run deeper than our manager. If/ when he is sacked, I don't think much will change UNLESS it's at a higher level as well.

I support the team - and I'll continue to do so.

If RD is sacked, which I think will happen now anyway, then I hope there are sweeping changes across the (literal/ figurative) board - otherwise it's all in vain. That's been my opinion all along.

And none of the changes the fact that point scoring and/ or blaming fans is unnecessary. Like I said above, if RD had won today, I doubt you wouldn't be on saying how wrong you were - and I doubt people would have been expecting you to either.

We win together, we lose together.

Agree2 Disagree1

17 Apr 2016 18:04:07
what did you do any different from us apart from not supporting RD on a fans forum? Did you protest at the stadium? Did you get in contact with the board? Of course you didn't you did hee-haw! To call fellow fans

Hi bhoys and ghirls.
I'm not going to absolutely blast our side as it's not in my nature. I do have a concern though. I think it can be well argued we have got worse as a team since lennons departure in a timeframe where we were supposed to get a whole lot fitter (under the leadership of RD remembering how unfit he claimed we were when he took over from Lenny) and advance as a good possession side who pass and move with class and style so when rangers came back up we would be ready to hunskelp like never seen before. So now we face the zombie nation arriving back in our lives filling us with that gut turning old firm day feeling we had almost forgotten. Sure you may argue they are not the same team etc but to me it's the club their fans decided to follow so they are now our rivals again wether we abuse them for it or not. (let's not let them forget though eh) Full of energy and confidence and on a good run of form they are sure to hit the ground running in the new season. We however look like we have no answer to that. I don't agree with one upfront. Never have. I don't think we have bottle or any guts. We also don't have that one game changing guy. And brown is not a celtic captain. (Just one mans opinion, and it's my humble one) We have good triers. Good runners. And by celtics standards pre boruc a fairly decent keeper. But good runners and good triers are only good for an athletics club. Don't get me wrong. Young Tierney is all of that but also looks a player. That's the difference. Future captain if he plays his cards right. Absolutely solid. I do believe losing today was a good thing as now we can rid the club of the cobwebs, a real good spring clean. And more than likely now a new management team. Whoever comes in next has a bit of a task. Rangers ready to start the new season. Us lacking in every department and having to replace inadequate individuals and bed in newbies. And get used to a new style of play. So. When the new gaffer comes in, let's get right behind him and the side and hopefully we can return to those magical European nights when we actually fancy ourselves against man utd or barca.
We were not the better team today. And it's going to take time to better ourselves.
Onwards and upwards.
Hail hail

Mr Lawel; you have tread water since 2012 - selling our best players and replacing them with bargain basement while employing economy managers to carry out domestic dominance in a so -called one horse league.
This has failed miserably as we have missed out on more trophies than we have won and apparently, Sevco, the team you have been waiting for so patiently have caught up?!

Mr Deila; the high pressing, quick tempo, slick passing game promised to us seems a million miles away from the garbage on show and your tactics, team selection, motivation and organisational skills would also seem to have an aspect of Emperors New Clothes.
Please do the decent thing as if this low point in a very mixed season is your legacy, I really fear for next season and beyond.

Mr Brown; you have been a driving force and inspiration on your day and your lack of goals, skill and passing ability has been more than compensated for, with your energy, enthusiasm and character. However, whether injuries[or other factors] have taken their toll? You have had - in comparison to last season - an annus horriblus and today you were chasing second division shadows and contributing zero.

The talk before was of a gulf in class and how we would take this mob if we were on our game?
Unfortunately, we have been so inconsistent and disappointing for so long, I can't remember us being 'on our game' for far too long.
Something [or someone] has got to change right now as if we go any further backwards we will stop.

Well said Timalloy, I suspect that they never even thought about it, RD has sports psychologists, dieticians, fitness coaches all geared towards keeping a mostly second rate bunch of players in tip top condition, their performance must also be questioned today. Roberts was very predictable before the miss, but you could see on the kids face that he knew he made a mess and never recovered.

Ronny its time to go. I've never known a Celtic manager to lose as many big games as RD. Aberdeen at home is the only game of note that we've won this season. Out in the CL qualifiers, winless in the Europa League and beaten in both domestic semi finals as well as 2 defeats at Pittodrie. The man has turned us into a laughing stock. We have gone backwards under his management. Even the biggest of RD fans must now see that he isn't up to it!? Funnily enough it was the majority of the RD fans that were telling us that this would be an easy victory against a championship side, while the rest of us could see that it would be a tough game given the fact that we have barely put in a good performance all season!

Agreed that Erik should have started but please lay off the young lad Roberts. I thought he did really well at times and was certainly one of our most potent attackers. He looked gutted after his miss and I really felt for him. As someone posted earlier, he needed an arm around him at half time but it didn't look like he got one. Please remember the lads age. A multi million pound player he may be but he didn't ask for that label. He's just a bairn mind. So what if he missed a gift chance under pressure, he'll learn from it. At least he actually showed some emotion and passion. unlike so many others that were wearing the hoops today. Too many imposters in our team. My last tuppence worth is that Broony shouldn't be near a Celtic shirt at the moment, never mind having the armband. A leader? An inspiration? A driving force? So disappointed in the team today, we were so bad from start to finish and it's not the first time a lower league side have raised their game to have a go at the champs. Fair play to them too. only 4 years old and they've made it to a cup final. Is that another record? :D.

17 Apr 2016 17:27:27
Roberts was awful from start to end gave the ball away countless times and u could see his head dropping the longer it went on, it wasn't his day and ronny should have seen that and put on a more experienced head cus Roberts did not handle. the pressure of. the old firm it's as much RD fault he shouldn't have put a kid in who wasn't ready.

Awful? Really? I think there were plenty other candidates more deserving of that tag, rather than the young lad Roberts. So he missed a sitter, big wows man.

Don't blame the bairns, blame the men that should have done better!

Surely now it's a matter of whether Ronny leaves now or we wait until the summer. He's got to go, simple as. These players are way better than what we're watching and that's down to the management, end of.

Mine of the worst performance's I've ever watched from s Celtic team. No fight no desire no hunger no fitness. Absolute disgrace. Rangers dictated the game from start to finish, Ronny needs to go and go now. Total clear out required.

I can honestly say that's the worst performance against them (new and old) I have ever seen. We were pedestrian in our attacking and defending and we made a very mediocre team look good. I would have felt cheated to have paid to watch this today. Celtic are absolutely conning the fans with these performances against lesser teams. Time for a clear out with Deila, Collins, Boyata and Johansen first out the door quickly followed by Mulgrew and Brown. Garbage!

Really Shocking performance, no spirt at all on the park from the players, no tactics or it seems to me preparation from the management. I know we have the league but this is really a painful experience. Time for Change.

The manager has turned us into a mediocre team. We have had a 4 year start and have marked time, it might even be argued that we went backwards.

Ronny is utter gash and has been all season.

Time for him to get tae.!

Sadly have to concede and agree what my head has been telling but my heart refused to accept. I have defended RD and I am not afraid to admit it. I offer no defense now and admit RD should go today. Finish the season with interim manager, hopefully this will make the players lift their game enough to complete the job especially as they won't know who is coming in. Or maybe they already do?

Been reading this great site for years and most of the time just like to read peoples views rather than post myself. can't say i agree with everything i read and i'm sure there is plenty posts that i have made that people don't agree with but what i will say is we are all Hoops fans and its days like today we look after each other. If you are walking home from the ground and you see any hoops fans on their own, drunk or whatever just make sure they get to where they are going ok, its days like today we need to be aware of that lots hatred towards us all so its definitely a day for petty arguments etc to be put to one side and and be togther. Take care and get home safely. HH.

What a sad post that was. Surely if you see any football fan "on their own, drunk or whatever" you should pay the same human kindness and empathy regardless of the colour of the scarf they are wearing. Yes even todays opponents fans Stan. Can you not get it lad, aspire to the beautiful game.

Good luck today bhoys we will win barring more "honest mistakes" that is why my bets are these.
An ordering off 7/ 2, a penalty 5/ 2,

Looking forward to the game but I haven't been getting the same buzz I used to get when we used to play the liquidated eleven.
Not too bothered about how many goals we stick past them but most of all I would like to see a performance from us that shows them up for what they are, a crappy wee diddy team from the Championship. MTH!

Aye it's time to put this lot firmly in their place. Praying we get an early goal then destroy them.

I hope we see a start for commons today, even the first half, he just loves scoring against these and maybe a few of his 20yard cracks can be effective today, I think he could get a lot of space, he creates it and they will be chasing after LG in numbers.

Not posted in a good few months. Hope your all doing well. Looking forward to the game today.

After all the rubbish been thrown about in the media and with that lot. I hope we teach them a lesson on football. Heard some idiots of football fans commenting on how we've been untested this year and the years before. I think they forgotten that we have had continously played European football season after season even if it's Europa league, and if wee kt can handle the likes of ajaxs then I'm sure he'll handle a reliably unknown rb from the 2nd tier of Scottish football. Not to mention this lots being playing part timers and some of the poorest sides in the country for the last 4 years.
Just hope today's the day we eventually show them how far they have fallen.

Was at the Everton v Southampton game yesterday, and they it is the best League in the world! One of the worst games i have ever seen.

Hope we turn on the style today and annihilate this lot. HH.
