1.) This is the best chance of progressing I think saying that we are not exactly playing the best football right now.
2.) Totally underwhelming, no wonder everyone thinks the Europa league is a waste of time. Heard some of the kick offs will be 18:00 too!

Alright Bhoys!
Anyone heard that we are trying to hijack Arsenals move for Ciprian Marica from Getafe? I'm not sure fee's or wages, but a few fellow tims I work with mentioned it coming from Parkhead! Who knows! Welcome to our new midfielder. does this mean deadly is on his way?
Say hello to 10 in a row - No Excuses!

Oh well, I am sad to admit that currently Europa League football is our best hope. We fell to pieces all over the park last night. Maybe a blessing in disguise that we didn't qualify, Of course PL would love to swell the coffers with the big money but we would be obliterated in the group stages.
I have been reading all the calls for RD to be sacked, I feel that's a bit harsh on him. I am a big supporter of what he is trying to achieve, but the backing from the board is hindering this. CL level clubs don't plunder SPL and below for players. CL clubs don't have a fire sale of all their assets if someone offers over £5m (VVD will be punted asap). If RD ever has to stand up to Lawell, it's now. I'd like to see him demand a £6m player or he walks. Time to put Lawell under pressure, that his managers have had to deal with each season.
We have no more players to punt, Johansen at a push £4m? PL is so concerned with his balancing the books, he is killing Celtic Football Club anyway - the half empty stadiums are a testament to that.
RD needs to look seriously at the squad and get rid of a few bodies - not just the promising youngsters who are farmed out on loan never to return.
Pissed off today!

We will get our erses kicked in the EL too.

Celtic (Lawell) has employed puppet managers since WGS and although NL was Celtic through and through, he was a willing, cheap and a convenient replacement for Mowbray.
Deila is untested at a higher level and Celtic are a huge club and I still see fear and doubt in his eyes during hard or very important games.
At least Lennon had some CL successes.
The sad facts are we have gone too far in the wrong direction for too long and have gradually allowed this to happen and we will not improve in the immediate future.
The board, the managers and the support have settled for a drop in quality and standards for several years and we are now where we belong in terms of European standards.
Since 2012, there has been a complacency within the club and a 'small club mentality' without a serious rival and lack of TV money and investment in 'Celtic class' players.
I even suspect that Lawell is holding back until Sevco arrive and then everything will be just fine and dandy?!
Lawell declared we were self sufficient and didn't need Rangers to survive - and that is true, but we expect better than surviving, we need CL football and entertainers.
We have been virtually assured of CL football for the past 5 years and instead of grasping that gift and building a team to dominate Scotland and regain our European reputation, we have faltered in domestic cups and sell off our better players every year - replacing them with inferior types.
After VVD goes we are pretty short of class players to sell and now we have no CL cash (yet again) to boot.
Strachan worked wonders at Celtic while working to a budget and handling a player transition, he still had success and managed to attract very good CL quality players and gave us some great European nights.
That seems very long ago and I feel unless we have a massive rethink and change of attitude we will have a long wait for more of those famous CL nights we all crave.

@Groutdoc. A more free flowing exciting brand of football, that the team may take time to adapt too. Playing higher up the park in a more dynamic fashion. Turning the squad from players to athletes on and off the park. Nurturing young talent and giving squad positions on effort on the training ground. trying to restore excitement in a 1 team league.
It's just my opinion of what I see, so if you try and shoot me down, fair doo's!

CELTIC will face either Qarabag of Azerbaijan or Rudar Pljevlja of Montenegro if they win in Stjarnan. See it on Twatter Bhoys

Unknown quantities, but tricky games if we get through.
The qualifiers are a pure lottery as we are nowhere near our best at this time of the year and we lack the quality of years gone by - and we need to qualify to attract better players?!
It's a vicious circle, but I am hoping RD has learned lessons.

What's everyone's view of Guidetti recent media outburst? Sour grapes perhaps?
I was a huge fan of his when he signed, not a marquee signing of old but a bums on seat guy. Once his form dipped he seemed to shell up and turned out to be quite the diva.
His outrageous wage demands priced him out of a move away it seems, and his goals dried up. Maybe his over inflated ego was writing cheques his boots couldn't cash!
I am disappointed he slates the club who put him in the window - maybe that's why he has been at so many clubs.

The guy has a bigger mouth than he has a talent.
He thinks he is in the same league as the top players in the world.
He is no better than a championship player.
Glad we did not buy him.
2.) 10 Jun 2015 18:17:09
The proof is that his agent has been tasting him all round Europe expecting him to be signed and not worrying about his future over the summer . Their inflated view of his worth is not matched by clubs anywhere , even those with more money than sense .

Wee Billy Moshni will do not bad after his antics - he has been signed as Mayweathers next opponent!
I have almost used all my laughs up for June already watching them getting royally gubbed. Meanwhile, over in Paradise we are strengthening the squad for champions league football!
Good times.

I think the boy Erwin's a wee cheeky wind-up merchant but that clown Moshni's reaction was utterly hysterical 😂😂
6-1 is a scudding in anyone's book!
2.) 01 Jun 2015 21:27:40
Mosh I won't receive any punishment , he be away far from Scotland and won't attend a court case ( if there is any) and any suspension will be meaningless .
3.) 02 Jun 2015 00:10:07
It's not as easy as that Chris , an outstanding arrest warrant from a Scottish court would cause him all sorts of problem's when it came to travel in other European countries and such , I would imagine any lawyer worth his salt would advise him to attend a trial as without any previous he would be likely to get no more than a fine and if big Donald defended him he would probably get a not proven ,lol.
4.) 02 Jun 2015 01:02:59
Fab1 I hear he is gone out of the Country already . I think if he is back home or goes to Eastern European Countries to ply his trade , many of them has no extradition Treaties with Britain and even if some had , I am not sure that Britain would think the matter serious enough to start extradition processes . Very difficult especially when he hasn't been charged , if he continued to fight it .
5.) 02 Jun 2015 08:44:08
I never said anything about extradition Chris , Jesus for a simple assault , lol . Just that travel in the eu is difficult with an outstanding arrest warrant. Do you know that the police pull people out of check in lines at Glasgow airport and won't let people travel if they have outstanding fines they also wait at custom's for people returning from holiday if they have outstanding arrest warrant's or have no showed for court cases .

There are going to be no police charges for Moshi

Late jumping on the wagon response from last night!
Firstly hats off to the fans and the GB display it was sensational, you could see even some of our players were caught up in the electric atmosphere, it was amazing to see CP filled to the brim again, as it should be!
Footballing terms we were a bit sloppy to give those goals away but what a response from the Bhoys not to deflate, they keep the pace and momentum up. CG was unlucky but as RD said, his saves have gained us entry to the knock out stages. I will be rubbing the green next week as it is still all to play for. We need to tighten the defence up and have a reaql go again we may catch them sleeping. Anyhoo off to work with a vino hangover but I will wear it with pride!

That would make sense Marco, I think if a deal was to be done it would have been either tied up or announced in January. Shame though if it is true as he could be a dynamo when he tweaked his fitness level. Maybe asking for too much cash perhaps?
13 Feb 2015 20:07:20
I read the artical but do you think he is a wee bit premature? He will be back with us next season I reckon (i hope!) Outstanding young lad.

Come on Celtic give him his 2 years - he deseves it. Think about all the money squandered on donkies over the years, let him have his 2 years so he can start concentrating on banging them in again.

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?
HH ShottsBhoy
Good strong stating line up with options on the bench. I am glad RD sees the potential in the youth, time for them to shine in this season. I am hoping for a rugby score tonight (no murrayfield pun intended!)
From pre season games I seen I enjoyed RD free flowing, starting from the back attacking methods, no more goalkeepers humping it up the park. I think this is a refreshing system to the past few years of same old same old under NL. I do not want to mar his successes but if he chopped and changed the line up he could have developed the youth academy so much better. Here's to this season bhoys n ghirls. 4 in a row n that!

I'll take that bet mate, care to put a double on and make it your right one too! I reckon a left back will be signed.

Fingers crossed he finds the form of 2 seasons ago. His 20ish games last season he looked a shadow of himself probably due to injury. Oh I also heard somewhere that he hates sevco lol

@Rayman - no worries mate I was enjoying a nice bottle of rock the hoose juice too lol!
I reckon his biggest test this season will be CL qualifiers, let's hope we are ready this time.

@ Rayman - I was going to reply, but you were totally contradicting yourself mate? You asked several questions as to disagree with my points but validated them in the next sentence?
"@Shotts, shown progression from what? The farce that was the CL qualifiers and the start to the league.Of course we have progressed from that we were terrible. That wudnt be difficult.
Did we gain more points in the league? No. Did we win more trophies? OK we won a league cup though a double is never beyond us.
Did we score more goals? No. Are we more entertaining? Maybe yes but that is an opinion not a fact."
See what I mean? And for your point of let him achieve something, A double in his first year so close to the treble? Winning the league comfortably whilst overhauling a squad, showing boldness by introducing new formations, attacking styles and improving fitness across the board, youth development and bringing in the best of Scottish talent. Not a bad first season IMO!
