Happy with the back 4, only changes I would make would be Pukki for either Mulgrew or Commons

WTF, I am sure it's just the acids I dropped into my tonic wine. I hallucinated that RD was starting Johansen at the front??? Erm, sabotage the CL football for a good league run and start fresh in Europe next year? since when was the two competitions mutually exclusive?

No more than we've deserved, were a shadow of a team, can't pass or control the ball, if I played football with Anthony stokes I swear i'd knock him out at some point his attitude and body language enrages me. Legia look a far better unit than us and it pains me to say that!

Complete pish yet again I can see us not even getting thru playoff in Europa league here ffs does rd know what he's at?? I think the club may be 2 big for him already and it pains me to say it but worst celtic team in 20 yrs atm bring Lenny back!!

Shocking actually painful to watch neither the team nor RD have any idea on how to break down Legia. Completely devoid of ideas.

How many times does stokes get caught offside?
Why start with arguably 3 defensive midfielders when chasing a game? We have no width. If he brings on some wide players who can run at Legia it will change the game as they are piss poor at FB.

Totally gutted there's just no excitement in that team anymore. Can see this being a very long season tbh

Got to say this is one of the most embarrassing results in the last few years for Celtic. I don't blame Delia or the Celtic players; this is all down to Lawwell and the board.

For the last few years we have brought through great talents at Celtic: Forster, Van Dijk, Wanyama, Hooper, Wilson, Ledley and even big Sammy.

It seems inevitable now that the list of players are all going to be players past and no longer present. Lawwel's obsession of pleasing the board financially is going to enforce the sale of more players to compensate for the loss of champions league money. I for one am absolutely sick of this attitude.

We've taken Ronny on board and credit to the guy he seems ambitious; but even the idea of bringing a manager who's biggest experience in the game was playing for Strømsgodset scream out the ambitions we now have at the club. At least Lennon although inexperienced as a manager was under O'Neill and Strachan.

I am now at the stage were I am losing all interest in Celtic because it is no longer run on the morals we had of aiming to be one of the best or at least entertaining teams in football we now look no better than the likes of Falkirk and Hamilton with no disrespect to them.

I think that its time the fans started making some noise in either enforcing Lawwel to start spending on the things we need in the club (that if we can attract the players we need without CL football) and hold onto our stronger players. If this isn't done either he needs to give it up or come out and let us know its the board that's limiting us. And for anyone who says that he's keeping the funds so we don't go bust like the people they can go count up the sale of wanyama, hooper, ledley and wilson then add on our CL income and then our attendance then go take out deductions cause i'm sure we have enough to spend when we need it.

Biton takes the ball but just gives it straight back to the player who passed to him. Emilio needs more time off from World Cup IMO and Stokes is not Celtic class. Our midfield had no idea what they were doing and couldn't break down Legia at all, no imagination. Matthews and McGregor probably the two most imaginative at going forward but at the end of the day we don't deserve anything over these legs and lack of investment has hurt this Celtic team.

Gutted complete lack of funding from the board as usual trying to scrape through the qualifiers before spending a penny. Absolutely disgusting boot 90 percent of the team and play the youth team for the next two seasons. Ashamed to be a celt today beaten soundly of a mediocre team.

@ Gregbhoy you are saying it is the worse team in 20 yrs and bring NL back . Every single player that started last night was a NL signing . RD has not been give the funds to get his team together when (if) that happens then I will judge . If anyone is to blame it is the board for not backing the manager .
