Development squad i think Mally.

Trust Brendan Rodgers one hundred percent. Now going to contradict myself. Why was Anton playing for us today?

Believable3 Unbelievable1

28 Jun 2017 21:54:16
Because I don't think we had enough fit players with us to completely change the 2nd half team.

Agree0 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 23:51:55
Was he any good / is he any good? Maybe he's the other player he wants to add before the qualifiers.

Agree0 Disagree2

28 Jun 2017 23:49:32
Because he is doing his son a favour in getting him up to speed for a new club. No 1 can grudge the manager doing this because he is the boss and what he said is gospel to us.

Agree1 Disagree2

Brendan said in the interview after the game that we had a few injuries in midfield and he played him as he didn't want anyone playing to long and that he was giving his boy a chance to keep up his fitness levels as his pre-season didn't start for another 3 weeks.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 21:30:01
i see Viktor Fischer went to mainz for an undisclosed fee (presumeably less than the 3.8 mill he cost middlesborough) thought he would have been a good signing for us but i guess it wasn't meant to be maybe the new trialist will get a contract tho.

All the talk everyone wanting new signings would anyone be happy to see youth given a chance over spending.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

28 Jun 2017 22:08:38
I'd like to see youth given a chance over Anton Rodgers first of all.

Agree4 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 22:31:23
I know what your saying gordo, and I love seeing young players break through! But for me we need a couple of bits of real quality in there! A centre half is a must for me if we have any aspirations of doing anything in the CL! A quality attacking midfielder to IMO! Yeh got to admit, regardless who wasn't fit that playing young Rodgers was a strange one! I thought he was maybe just going to train and get some fitness but never thought he would get A game. suppose it's only a friendly but so not a big deal.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 23:16:59
Smacks of nothing more than nepotism. For those who can't criticise BR that's the reality. Low key friendly or not, there are young guys coming through the ranks who must be disillusioned right now.
Who's paying the costs of the "intelligent" and "technically gifted" player that is Anton (surprisingly without a club! ) on this trip!
Poor decision by manager on this one. I doubt the top teams, in which we regard ourselves globally, would do same. Might be wrong n I see Jose, Jurgen, Pep n overseas managers do same.

Agree5 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 23:49:09
Absolutely crazy putting your own kid in the shop window over giving a youngster a run in the side.

Agree4 Disagree2

29 Jun 2017 00:28:32
Listen wise up, Brendan has just won the treble and finished the season domestically unbeaten, for the first time in our lives.
This all counts because Rangers competed .
Now if he signed his son and played him instead of better players, the panty wetters could moan with good reason.

Agree2 Disagree6

29 Jun 2017 02:57:19
Jesus Christ he let his son play a part in a meaningless friendly, anyone one of us would do the same for our kids. As for playing youngsters I'm all for it but he's only 1 player it's not like he has blocked any youths progression.

Agree2 Disagree3

30 Jun 2017 18:42:08
Miller mcart ralston hazard and aitchison all played unless iam mistaken are they not youths calm down bhoys.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jun 2017 18:44:13
So what's the difference if a trialist got 45 mins instead? Is it cause its his son? did he play crap? did the game mean anything? don't see what the fuss is tbh.

Rodgers said there where midfielders injured.

Calvin Miller at LB again, BR probably wanting to prove the doubters wrong with him.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

28 Jun 2017 23:47:12
By "doubters" do you mean those that think playing one of the best attacking prospects in the country at LB is stupid?

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jun 2017 00:31:31
For those who seen the match Millar didn't have to spend much time in defence and was attacking most of the time .
I am sure he was delighted to get the chance and make some good attacking passes& crosses.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 12:12:07
Love them or loath them but did anybody see George Galloway and Tommy Sheridan on larry king talking about the klan didny miss them and hit the wall and very accurate well said bhoys.

I used to hate George Galloway til I realised he tells the truth and only gets made out to be bad by the media good thing about growing up you get wise to the media's pish same with corbyn now media will have you believing he's a terrorist sympathieser just the same crap on different people.

Check out big Georges testimony to the US senate on YouTube - talk about putting them in their place, awesome.

Some top clips of 'interviews' with the great unwashed across the road too.

Easy way to loose an hour.

Shame about the celebrity Big Brother debacle.

GG scunnered me with his pro-remain and pro-Brexit stance.

Agree with George about Syria, Britain and the US should be fighting with Assad and the Russians and not against them.

kevbhoy where you from.

I seem to be in a minority of Celtic fans who think signing John McGinn would be a good move.
Here are my reasons, at every club he has been at he has improved notably at St Mirren and now Hibs.
His workrate is first class and he has a good range of passing and he is strong in the tackle also.
I believe Brendan sees him as the successor to Brown, if he signs, the club will work with him and improve him even further, the goal being in a year or two to fully take over Brown's role in the team, in the meantime he will be a welcome addition to our squad.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

28 Jun 2017 11:12:12
Think he would be a good addition to tim and brendan would improve him like he did Armstrong.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 11:36:07
He's a good player but is he better than the first picks . imo not yet. will he get better or even be up to par? . my problem with it is everybody wants a better class than we have now and if Brendan brings in quality after the qualifiers he would then be a bench player (unless obviously he proved to be better) . then as a squad player would he hinder the progress of the likes of hill and Johnstone or any other acadamy midfielder.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 12:24:35
Drb know where your coming from regarding our young bhoys but mcginn could be one of these guys that goes to england and does really well like mcarthy and robertson and are now worth millions and we could have had him for a decent fee ad take a chance on him and he's now getting international games as well.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 12:37:49
Mally I agree . but the 3 young centre backs who've left to get game time and develop their carreers might turn out the same . im not saying no to signing him but would like to see our own youngsters giving a chance even if it's to be proven not good enough. that's why the club should be pushing harder (might be already) for the introduction of colt teams or a change to the loan system allowing more to a team at one time . The reserves stop development after a while.

Agree1 Disagree1

28 Jun 2017 14:30:01
Mcginn isn't any better than Henderson don't see the point in it myself.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 15:14:42
Great point mate can see both sides ad take him and hopefully if any of our kids are as good as kieran and callum they'll make the first team.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Jun 2017 23:35:04
@UnionJack,
I'd be extremely confident of strolling the league yet again with only Hayes and McGinn added. Due to your squad being bereft of even a hint of quality, Pedro has resorted to bulk-buying a bunch of mostly unknown players with exotic names which has got your fans very excited, albeit not as excited as the other recent bulk buying of mugs, rubber ducks and last years kits.

As unbeaten treble winners we can bide our time and wait to see what all our options are before making quality additions. To be fair I reckon you have just as good a chance of getting 2nd place as anybody!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jun 2017 00:35:24
Club employs experts who should know whether Maginn is better than Henderson, maybe both will make it and maybe none . Ability wise one or both could be good enough, live style one or both may live in such away that interferes with becoming top footballer.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jun 2017 18:54:42
@kevbhoy - strolling the league isn't the issue here. Hand on heart can you honestly say that either Hayes or McGinn will take you to the next level in Europe? Which is one of Rodgers aims.

We keep on hearing all about the all conquering youth teams and yet none of them are good enough to step up?

P.S. we keep on seeing the Jock Stein quote about shrinking jerseys / inferior players and yet Rodgers devalues the strip by giving is son 45 mins!

Agree0 Disagree0

Is the game on TV or stream tonight anyone?
