I wish Deila would do the right thing and hand in his notice, getting bored with the we are getting better, and he can see progress, well I have supported Celtic for over 45 years, and Iam not buying into anything he says, and I do not think the Celtic players are either, I was glad to see Griffiths getting a game against Ross County, he has to be played beside Guidetti, not as a winger, Griffths can score goals he has done it many times in scottish football games, he has to be given a good run in the team, and both Guidetti and Griffiths will score goals as long as they are provided with enough chances, Kris Commons should be playing instead of Biton, Biton is not as good as Commons and he will never be as good a goal scorer, or create chances like Commons would do, would also wish players would do there talking on the park, Johansen could not wait to play against Ross County, and we all know what happened there, now Matthews is doing the same thing and how he can not wait to play against Partick Thistle, would like the midfeild to be Brown, Commons, Henderson McGregor, against Partick Thistle, with Guidett, playing along side Griffiths.

{Ed007's Note - You're talking about players like Griffiths being played out of position yet you want Commons to replace Biton as a CDM? Commons could never play in that position, he simply isn't fit enough to do it, have you ever seen Commons play as a CDM?
Griffiths will probably be played that far out of position after January he'll be in Edinburgh, and Commons will more than likely either have left or agreed a deal elsewhere, why play players who aren't going to be here for the long haul, will Commons go in to a crunching tackle and risk injury for a team that he won't be there long term for, a serious injury and Commons won't have a club or any income after the summer.
As a side note, Commons second goal of the 2012-13 season (the season after his last major tantrum) was a last minute equaliser against Ross County, did you think NL should have handed in his notice then? What's good for the goose and all that.}

1.) Didnt even deserve the reply ed. surely not a serious post

2.) I wonder what anyone has seen in McGregor since someone was foolish enough to give him a five year contract is there a problem giving young lads a contract at Celtic . I remember the outstanding prospect Tony Watt got a new contract and he was despatched to Belguim within months . He came back briefly Deila, had a wee look and this time he was away permanently . I hear now he will be on the transfer list again in January . What happen's these bhoys, McGregor was Deila's blue eyed bhoy, but eventually even Deila had to realise that McGregor has switched off his mind seems to be elsewhere .

Glen I know Ally giving his notice to work his 12 month rolling contract was good for Ally . He's got a new career but surely given Deila his notice now would only make Celtic a laughing stock
Top of the table., still in Europe and both domestic competitions . No self respecting manager would take the vacancy after seeing how Celtic treated Deila . Be reasonable

3.) Bloody ridiculous post. A Celtic fan for all that time yet you come away with that nonsense? Did you think the transition would be seamless? Far too many supporters with short memories on here.

4.) Green jhedi,, the problem is that the football/technique/skill on display is no better than previous managers /seasons, I like delias ideas but can't agree the football etc on show is improving . also the same transfer mistakes are being made (which lennon took the blame of for most on here) let's see what the window brings maybe we will see his style of player coming in and the style he wants being played

5.) 29 Dec 2014 17:59:36
@original poster your opinions on the manager and player positions is what's wrong with some of our fans these days, totally blinded that much u want commons 2 replace a dm player lol was actually embarrassed reading that part especially comparing them in class is like comparing rooney with de gea. McGregor has been woeful the past 2/3 months and should be on the bench if he's lucky. Whatever uv been guzzling over xmas i'd give it a swerve cause your heads full a beans if u think this shit

6.) I think you'll find the original poster wasn't advocating commons as a cdm he was saying play him instead of Biton and prob revert to a 442 formation which isn't everyone's cup of tea but I would rather that in domestic matches than what we have just now. The current tactic of 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 isn't working domestically or in Europe on a consistent basis and even if it worked on a domestic level with 2 wingers I guarantee it would not be the same tactic v barca etc so we would still be playing 2 different systems

{Ed007's Note - I didn't know we had a psychic on the site! :-p

7.) I think in patches we have played some good stuff. When RD says he sees improvements I think this must be in training which eventually will show in real games. Just remember, winning the league by 1 point and winning the league by 10 points is the same thing. Did anyone see Sly today, showed a points tally for Celtic over the last few years and only 1 year was really different. We are creating loads of chances if we had a Henrik we would be romping games but we don't and its adding unecessary pressure.

Now, Ciftci is our latest target! Could he cut it in Europe? Not sure he is any better than what we have to be honest. Armstrong for me is a must to play beside Brown.

8.) The problem with most players we are linked with is that in many people's opinion they are not any better than we have . People can talk about Armstrong as if he would answer many questions about our midfield . If we don't sign him and if he goes to some English outfit, then to most people on here Celtic will have committed the equivalent of transfer suicide as Armstrong will become better and better.

9.) Kev t we need someone to cut it at spl to get to Europe and he has scored more than our strikers, what I like about him is he is a team player imo he is a good signing

10.) I sort of expected that response.oops maybe I am psychic :)

{Ed007's Note - :-p

11.) @4, by saying 'no better', I think you are being very diplomatic, in fact I think you are being economical with the truth, as what's his name said just before the Falklands war, thts annoying me now, cause I can't remember his name.

12.) Cifci is a nuisance to mark, he would be better in Europe than Stokes all he offers is good link up play no goals, Cifci links up well and has goals in him too. Agree Armstrong performing in Europe would make his value soar surely 2m is worth a punt even just for the SPL where he's already proven to be capable

Efe Ambrose once again, as long as he plays in defence he will make mistakes, Scrap the 4-3-2-1 formation, drop Biton for a midfield player who can score goals, Kris Commons, give Guidetti a break, either have him as a sub, or play him with Leigh Griffiths, a forward who has skill and will score goals, ditch the negative football it is Scotland you are a manager in not spain, italy or germany, next game 4-4-2, Gordon, Matthews, Izzagiure, Anybody but Ambrose, Van Dijk, Brown, Johansen, Commons, Stokes, Griffiths, Gudetti.

1.) Commons has been poor, too slow his time is up. We have had his best years and it's time to move him on

2.) Shall I tell you the problem Glen we are playing with one man at the back. For the first goal Johansen played a slack pass to izzy who was too far up the park because Stokes can't actually do anything on the wing on his own. VVD then proceeded to amble over for cover and then lazily played everyone on side, EFE then miskicked which was also a mistake but because it was the last one people who don't know what is going on blame him only. RD needs to tell VVD to play as a centre half with him and izzy on the same side of the pitch we are way out of shape. The other thing about Virgil is why he doesn't pick up the main striker I have said this before, so for the second goal surely izzy should have been positioned in front of Cifti with VVD marking behind, that is schoolboy stuff, he is our physically strongest defender yet never takes responsibility for marking and fighting it out with the opposition. he may think he is made for better things but the way he is playing I think he will struggle to get his move. No matter what league you consider, central defenders first and foremost have to defend. Guidetti also looks as though he has lost a bit in the last few weeks, it is probably a while since he has played in such a sustained run of games. I would also like to see Griffith being given three or four consecutive games to see if he can solve our problem in front of goal he certainly livened us up today

3.) All the Ambrose fans will be backing him as always but he ain't good enough for defense. I think he would be better in midfield than at CB he carries the ball well and gets done too easy with the ball over the top he has more pace than Biton although I think the guy is a class midfielder. Something needs switched and it doesn't look like it will be the formation. Guidetti runs his arse off all game one striker up front is a hard graft and is negative considering the opposition I do see what RD is trying to achieve playing that way as when it clicks we are unplayable but there is never a plan b it would be nice to switch it up during a game and go 4-4-2 as this formation we stick with the opposition is drilled all week to try counter it so why not throw them by mixing it up? As always the defense is the first to get the finger pointed at although it wasn't good enough neither was the finishing we wouldn't be losing if we finished the easy chances we always create RD needs to get the Bhoys doing extra training on their shooting. All the top players do it Sanchez, Messi, Ronaldo, Bale there's a reason why they are as good as they are

4.) We're not good enough to play two up in Europe though. So it's best to stick with a 4-2-3-1 in the league and use the league to develop our style. It was a poor game. That's all. Too many average players though.

5.) @Jim its always a good idea to have the same system for Europe as in the league I not against this, but we hardly pullin up any trees with our performances in SPFL. If we were brilliant wk in wk out I would agree but we aint. There nothing wrong being able to change style to suit appropriate games. Playing 2 up front puts less pressure on the individual striker because if 1 not scoring there is the other to do it. Also football is about partnerships this is why the pros go on about the spine all the time. And the front 2 pairing is the most important since they got the hardest job.

I can not believe the attitude of glasgow celtic in the way kris commons is only getting offered a 1 year deal, kris commons is a good player in my opinion, kris commons would score more goals than scott brown, stefan johansen, and any other midfielder that deila plays in the celtic team, kris commons is only 31 years of age, he should be offered a 2 year deal at least with a 1 year option.

27 Nov 2014 14:51:06
Kris Commons should be given at least a 3 year contract, 27 league goals he scored last season, who else came close to scoring as many goals as him, Celtic have wasted money on loans deals like Berget, Tonev, wakaso, and signed Scepovic, Celtic already had a player signed, his name Leigh Griffiths, a forward who would score goals if Deila would give him a chance, In my opinion he would score more goals than Scepovic, In Celtics last Europa Cup game, Griffiths was more of a goal threat in the short time he was on the park.

1.) 27 Nov 2014 15:51:51
Na I agree with the club one this one, his age is against him and one decent injury and the club could lose a lot of cash as well. He has served the club well but sometimes you have to look out for the club's best interest.

2.) Darren you are right .

3.) I agree with Glen, can't believe that some folk are prepared to let our most creative player leave in the 'club's interest'? madness.

4.) Its bad business practice offering 3 year deals to 32 year old players. Potentially commons could rapidly decline at this stage.
