Thought kayal looked good again today not usually a fan of his lately but I hope he keeps going and no need to spend for midfield when we have brown kayal commons ledley Rogic forrest derk mcgeoch and can play samaras mulgrew Ambrose and there is the young bhoys coming through as well I think we definitely need a striker that is a proven goalscorer left back and a experienced centre half

Kayal did great and looked to prove something and to try to win a starting role.

Watching toulouse vs bordeaux just now supposingly big derby game in france to be fair cracking game the funny thing is there's a wee guy bossing the midfield battle called landry nguemo remember him you just wonder at times where things go wrong what my point is nguemo was highly rated when he came to us obviously didn't work out goes back to france and from what I hear he's a very consistent good player since he's returned to france
Everybody keeps going on about splashing the cash finnbogasson rudnevs pukki etc whos to say if we do then its going to work out stay patient i'm sure lennon and mr park know exactly what they're doing and obviously think we have enough to get by the final qualifier well done today as well bhoys not pretty but great result and job well done hail hail

Much as I love Celtic I sometimes feel that we don't give some players a decent chance. JK

Agree0 Disagree0

I was actually well pleased today.I thought we bossed the game from start to finish. McGinns header apart, which Forster should have came for, Aberdeen never really created anything. Very pleased with Mouyokolo, no nonsense defender and not scared to get stuck in. The only flaw wa playing Sammi up at Centre.He naturally drifts left and with Commons having an off day we were a bit short. green jhedi

Agree0 Disagree0

If my memory's right correct me if i'm wrong Landry done not to bad for us on a loan with option 2 buy but we wouldn't pay e money they wanted so that was that I don't think he never worked out here . IMO

Liked the look of the big man at the back as well heres hoping that he could be the answer in defence good to see van dijk finally getting a run out as well supposingly rogic and derk should be fit for tuesday as well good timing to nearly have a full squad to choose from agree about sammy as well much prefer him out on the left suppose it depends on how he sees derk possible striker role suppose well just have to wait and see

Agree0 Disagree0

I liked Nguemo and likened him to Lennon when he was on song and was sorry to see him go.
Another couple of promising midfielders that unfortunately left prematurely in my opinion were Juarez and Crosas.
Obviously I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but we have let a few guys go that flourish elsewhere.

@cha67 he was decent just remeber he did begin t get a good bit of stick towards the end not sure what happened at the end of the loan I think it was only 1.25m to buy him don't know if it was just a case of lennon wanting to clear out the majority of mowbrays players who knows?

Agree0 Disagree0

Never give him a second thought since he left, says a lot. meastro8

Scotty Brown had at least two shots on goal today and missed out. That's our missing strikers job. Celtic had about 65% possession in first half and all the chances but commentators saying it was a close game up to penalty.
Nonsense.
Building a good squad. Giving Lenny quite a few options with hungry lads in the second string. The way it should be.
I'm sure PL will deliver everything We need upfront. Fans have little faith at times.
Stokes would have banged in two or three today. But good to show we can win in SPL comfortably without him.
Finally clean sheet, well done at the back, and good run out for van dijk.
Forster made one save whole game.
Hail hail

Homer Simpson made an appearance here already this week where I misquoted him. I apologise for this he did not say 23% he actually said 14% of people can come up with statistics to prove anything. I'm going to say 3 points no injuries on to CL get a result there and signings will come. If you wanted CL football as a player would you sign on the pretence that you might. We could offer 6 million to the club for finngamybooobson but the stumbling block isn't scottish fitba it's that we aren't there yet so player will wait no matter who it is. And they can't force him out. Same happened to us with players nearing end of contracts we had offers but player didn't fancy it. Did you victor. Get past borat and we sign the players. And I suspect over two legs we will

Neil Lennon confirmed after today's game that Pukki is his main target but Schalke are playing hardball as they do not want to sell. Lennon also said money is there to spend if Celtic qualify for the Champions League. Wouldn't deny reports linking Celtic with another move for Alfred Finnbogason. Heerenveen's director was today asked about a new contract for the Icelandic striker, replying with "Maybe next week." Does this mean Celtic will make their move?

Only two hundred seats unsold at Pittodrie. Aberdonians turning out in force for top tier football. Despite it being shown live via BTsport on all platforms, bt, sky, etc. At home and in pubs.
Record season ticket sales in top tier.
Sevco out of top tier would destroy Scottish football we were told. Who misses sevco? Answer = No one. Who laughs at Sevco? Answer = everyone.

40 minutes gone and we are missing a striker. Sammy should be over on left, clearly not a front of goals guy.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

OP here, two minutes later Sammy runs on goal, gets brought down, Abz down to ten men and commons scores penalty.
Like to see Celtic score a shed load against ten men. Abz have been talked up as the team to challenge us this year. We need to stamp authority and destroy them with three or four.

Agree0 Disagree0

It was never about the fans not turning up was the problem. The problem is the quality of the football on offer. Players play football for financial gain - they follow the money and sadly league 1 down south has more money than 90% of clubs in scotland through sly and their blood money.

Nobody shoot me down but Av got a sneaky feeling we're going to pull the rabbit out the hat and sign pukki and finnbogasson miby Lenny is aloud to sign pukki and the marquee signing of finboggasson will depend on cl qualification

Aberdeen look well up for this today. I expect them to come out blazing in the first few minutes. Ride the storm and bang in a couple of goals to shut them up. This will be a test for our side and a chance for Lenny to sort out a team for next week.
Come on you bhoys in green!

Defo tough game bigrab thinl the way the teams set up kinda looks as if we might be sitting tight and going for a smash and grab 1 0 which to be honest ill take

Agree0 Disagree0

Very pedestrian from Celtic, ambrose thinks he is a holding midfielder but I disagree. His passing is slack and he doesn't see a pass fast enough. Brown should be holding with rogic at the head of the diamond or brown right hand side and kayal in holding position.

Cmon bhoys and ghirls let's put the signing issues to one side for now and get behind the team in which imo will be a very tough game today against a vastly improved aberdeen haven't heard team news yet you reckon well rest a good few today ed ahead of the brutal trip for tuesday

Morning ed 007 and fellow hoop s fans. a lot of fans not happy about the signings ( quality ) imo I think lennon will say he's taken the club as far as he can, if this were to happen do you think people who said we have enough in the sqaud would change thier tune, I for one see us stagnating to say the least, and no i'm not a rangers fan or any othdr vlub for that matter .

Bit of perspective here bhoys.
have we really seen enough of the new signings to pass judgment.

Remember.
Wanyama, WHO? Hooper, WHO? Izzywhatsanow, WHO? Kayal, WHO?
(heard it all before)

Aye we all want the bragging rights and excitment of of a blockbuster signing.
Doesnt mean we get it.
The board need the sensible head on.


Are 6-8 CL games really worth a gamble for players who are going to cost 5 million + and cream 15k +a week?

Lets just sit tight and see what happens.

hope yhe green brigade screw the nut today at pittodrie.

no need to give rags any oppertunity for negative reporting ahead of our cl first leg qualifier.

the issues they have with the club should be resolved, and I
hope they can be resolved inhouse.

About all the moaners on the site and how if they weren't happy not to bother spending there money on shirts and tickets.
Sorry, if that's the way use want to feel about Celtic then that's your choice.
Not for me though the clues in the name for me

With all the focus on Pukki and Finbogason, why don't Celtic make a cheeky bid for Jordan Rhodes, offer between £3-£4m with add ons.
Blackburn are now in Championship and have started poorly 1 point from 3 games, so the pressure may be on club to offload higher earners.
His wages are probably about £25k+ but nothing Celtic could not cope with.
Also I would rather do this than offer Stokes a new contract, he has clearly not taken heed of improving his off field antics. Get Rid.
As for our present players I cannot believe Ledley has not been offered a new contract yet, to replace him would cost £2m+ and then £20k wages on top.
What do all you guys think? Timalloy

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree 100% Tim . I've been saying for a while that we should be turning our attention to Rhodes . Blackburn are in a bad way right now and I think a deal could be done . Also noticed Stokes isn't even on the bench today . DH

Agree0 Disagree0

Ledley has said himself he will wait till the qualification has been completed before negs get started

I think Rhodes is on £40k per week. pea

I'd be happy with 1 more signing a striker and even then if we can't get the right guy then no ones better than just padding. We've signed 2 cbs we have plenty in midfield and have signed a cf and considering the manager usually plays one up front i'm happy with the way the transfer window has gone.mark

now call me picky but i'm sure if we go back 2 or 3 years and read the comments about hooper, kayam, izzi, ledley, wilson, etc. then it will be obvious that we the fans know sweet FA about what to look for in a footballer. yes there are glitches and mistaken signings but I for one have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of guys we have brought in. Now that`s not to say that i'm a wee tad disappointed that we didn't bring in another striker for the playoff game but come on guys if we can't get past this lot from asia then we don't deserve to be in the group stages. So come on guys let's give the boys, the manager and the board the support that only celtic supporters can provide and believe that signings will come for the group stages and the push for the treble. HAIL HAIL, ILWT (and Lawell)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree and was thinking similar myself. Would be good if there was an archive on the page to see the reaction when we signed players like Izzy, Hooper etc. I think one benefit of Pukki ahead of Alfie is that he is more versatile. With him, Boreigter and Sammy as an interchangeable front 3, could be a tactic Lenny has in mind for this year's Champions League group stage, provided we do the business against Shaktar. I wouldn't bet againt us signing more than one striker either, especially if Stokes doeant sign a new deal.
cw-88

Agree0 Disagree0

We need a goal scorer who is in the box we've already got 2 - 3 strikers who drift out left if you count watt in that as he seems to be getting played there now pukki looks fast and is a decent player I wouldn't mind him and aldi together could be a deadly partnership

Hoopybhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

AGREE, WOULD ALSO LIKE THE FANS TO RESPECT NL BACKING OF WEE FORREST.
remember the abuse he received, from the negative brigade for insiting in playing Broonie, Samaras, and big foster.

I make the score NL3-NB0.

4-0 soon as I think Forrest will repay NL for his trust in him with a few motm awards this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi picky, lol couldn't resist. Sorry
