At least we’ll see some youngsters.

11 Jan 2021 18:43:52
All 4 strikers out.
Wee Harper can make a name for himself.

11 Jan 2021 18:44:23
So is that the squad for the next three games (counting tonight) ? Unless we make a few signings this week?

11 Jan 2021 18:45:36
Always on the plus side steph.

11 Jan 2021 18:49:26
Still a pretty decent team I suppose.

11 Jan 2021 18:55:03
I thought we were told Duffy wouldn't make the game?

11 Jan 2021 18:57:29
Nice experiment in a rubbish time.

11 Jan 2021 18:59:25
I think the players only miss 2 games because the 10 days will be up next Monday or Tuesday.
That’s if the 10 days started from when they arrived back in Glasgow.
If the players can get a training session in next Tuesday, they might be okay to play at Livingston.

11 Jan 2021 19:00:27
I'm not confident with Duffy.

11 Jan 2021 19:03:18
he deserves credit for making himself available jon.

11 Jan 2021 19:18:37
Let's just face it the club is a total embarrassment to the fans and some one has to pay for the shambles that have happened in the past 2 years some one at least has to walk after this.

11 Jan 2021 19:21:22
That's us had it Lennon is still going to run this game.

11 Jan 2021 20:18:06
Tony league is finished, been an absolute embarrassment. A total letdown on the fans in every aspect. Personally I think a total clearout from top to bottom should start just now.

11 Jan 2021 22:15:05
If any faint hopes for title were there before tonight they are gone now. Most in form team in country in next 2 games 1 without full squad and 1 with it but fir the already tricky way game. If we can get 4 points I will be happy tbh because if we get any less we might actually have to fight for 2nd spot.
Can’t believe how badly let down I feel this season wouldn’t have been as bad in my worst nightmare in August this is just ridiculous now.

11 Jan 2021 22:24:50
A clear out from the very top is well required. We were spoiled under BR, the standards and fitness levels were something else. 2 years before BR arrived, Broony was finished to some and BR arrived, he raised the fitness levels and Broonie was back to being a hero again, to the doubters. I see Calmac is getting it in the neck from some tonight also,! the guy deserves better. The clear out should start with Pedro and NL should go too. Got to thank them for their service but both under estimated the opposition and their desperation to stop 10. I love NL but sorry his football is in another era. We need a proper coach back in, someone who is first in and last out the door, a coach who leaves nothing to chance and drills the team. Celtic need to get back to being fitter off and on the park and to be honest, I would start the spade work now. This car crash of a season has nothing positive to look forward to and at least if the changes started now, we might have something to look forward to. The pressure of 10 is gone, up in smoke, so let's start the rebuild, sooner rather than later.

11 Jan 2021 22:49:17
Hazard is complete sh*te.

11 Jan 2021 22:53:08
Callum McGregor should be utterly ashamed of his performance (or lack of one) tonight. He’ll be captain if he’s here next season, and that’s what we’ve got to rely on. Rogic hasn’t kicked a ball since the rat left. Let him go if anyone will take him.
Hazard made the saves he should have made, then sold the game when he has to deal with a cross. He’s a pub league goalie.
Laxalt can’t defend, Taylor can’t attack, frimpong can’t defend and has no final ball.

LiamLennon
I wasn't complaining, I was happy to see him in the line up.
I was just surprised after reading that he would miss the game.

12 Jan 2021 17:23:23
I looked forward to watching the younger guys, see whstvthey could do turns out, as I feared, they're nowhere near good enough, and I include Johnson in that as long as he weighs 3stone. Powderpuff doesn't get close. Harper had some nice close control, but again, he showed nothing to suggest we will not have to sign strikers. He got cramp after 58 minutes, Ofaflex too looked nowhere near fit enough.

Welsh looked ok, Duffy was better, but when it mattered we fell in our arse again. Felt for Hazard but, again when it mattered found flapping. Even though I always thought our seemingly maniacal obsession with regressing would arrive. Still hard to take as we have basically allowed a deid club with no money to overtake us. 9 failures to qualify for the CL in a dozen years is Lawells legacy. He as well as our manager and everyone involved in recruitment need to k8ve on. This latest farce with Dubai requires the CEO to spend more time with his heated driveway and if he takes the bonus this year he has no shame.

Sky have reported that the game might not go ahead due to the hibs players not feeling safe to do so.

11 Jan 2021 18:40:52
If Hibs refuse to play the fixture I think they will be docked points and maybe even fined? The testing was done within the last 24-36 hours and should still be valid; It's also a ' SLY Live' game.

11 Jan 2021 11:24:22
Alfie Doughty looks like he'll be joining Stoke this window. Yet another transfer we're losing out on. He maybe decided on Stoke as they seemed more keen in signing him by offering him a deal in January instead of a pre contract.

11 Jan 2021 11:55:44
Yeah and also looking at our club, who in right mind would come here now. Its been happening for a while, why do all good things just up and go, only looking now, you realise that's probably why rodgers left, fed up of lawell the clown acting the big man. Utter shambles.
