Also read some posts regarding Biton.
Biton is a brilliant player in a 'non-old firm Celtic. ' Good when he gets time to play the game and make a pass.
As seen today, when he comes up against it like he will at least 4 times a season now against rangers (returning to the most important fixtures of the year) he's not got the bottle.
If we could get a decent bid from down south, we should all chip in and pay his travel.
Not what we need going forward.
Through the hard times and the good.

Disagree, there are plenty others who should be shipped out before Bitton and he is one of our best players, under-performing under this imposter of a manager and playing alongside one of the worst midfield Celtic players I've had the misfortune of enduring for such a long period. Bitton has shown in Europe that he will be a very important member of our midfield for years to come under a new manager who instills a proper team fighting spirit. Have a look at the quality he possesses on YT of clips of him in Europe against the likes of Inter, he also stepped up this season and chipped in with a few goals against Malmo and Ajax. Quality player who we're lucky wants to remain a part of Celtic and seems to have caught the Celtic bug. Put Rogic beside him and you'll see a different player from what he was today, he's also good for height in the box at set pieces.

His quality is without doubt, it may be his style of play but I feel it is reasonable to call his drive into question.
Never looked particularly enthusiastic about the occasion. Feel moving forward Celtic need more bite, what we were lacking in abundance today.
It's all fine and well trying to play slick controlling passing football, but when you've got the likes of Andy Halliday in your face biting at you, he didn't look upto scratch.
Throw in a cauldron of hate and 60,000 fans, and I don't feel he's the right man for the job.

First time post. A victim of the circumstances you could say, more directly Ronny Delia.
With regard to today's performance, I don't think il be going against the grain when I say it was woeful. The most difficult Celtic game for many years.
I think this is without doubt the nail in Delias coffin. He has managed to get by this season due to a laughable SPL, but now he has came up against a challenge, he crumbled. And make no mistake of it. They are a challenge, whether we like it or not, they are back.
However in a strange turn of events today could ultimately lead in a positive outcome? Had we won 2-1 today would there have been whole scale changes in the summer and a change in management? Debatable. Surely after this delia and half his comrades (looking at you johansen) are due the door.
We need a proper Celtic manager, someone who knows what it means to play for the club, and players who know what it mean to play for Celtic. My heart tells me Moyes and a striker along the lines of Fletcher, my head tells me a nobody from back of beyond and a Jason Cummings type.
If Celtic use this it could be the passion needed to defend the title next year. Whether this will be the case I am unsure about.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Through the hard times and the good.

Couldn't agree more. Really felt we'd give them a right turning over today providing we turned up and yet again in the big games Deila and his team ( for whatever the reason) are posted missing. Not nearly good enough and BIG BIG changes are required starting right now, not the end of the season. If nothing else today should serve as a huge reminder to lawell, Desmond etc that the product isn't nearly good enough for Celtic and if they want the fans back through the gates of parkhead then they better take they're heads out they're arses and see what's going on!

I'm still unsure after that performance of Rangers played really well at times or if we were just that bad in stages.
Delia along with a host of Celtic players over the last four years have been lucky, lucky they've not been there. Players like GMS just now or Pukki previously I wouldn't even consider to be proper Celtic players, keeping in mind they haven't faced and tested themselves in a proper old firm. They are getting found out now and look way out their depth.
With this in mind however, I would say rangers aren't a particularly good team. With right management and players (big ask after recent years) they could easily be put in their place.
Eyes on you Mr Lawell. More than ever.

As much I would love Vincent Jansen to sign for Celtic and agree that the eredevise is a good market for us, the chances of him singing for us are next to nothing.
He is Hollands first choice striker now, top scorer in the eredevise and still young with a host of European clubs chasing us, so doubt we could afford his shinpads.
Agree with your point regarding the squad however.
From the current bunch, I would only keep:
Gordon, Tierney, Simunovic, Lustig (squad player at least) , Christie, Allan (needs more of a chance) , Rogic, Griffiths and Sviatchenko.
Also hope to see Henderson brought back in to the fold next season.
A lot of experience and talent needed.
