Hendry, Morgan, McGinn!? Is this what we are to expect now in terms of signings? We need quality not average players from other Scottish teams. Have our Scouts lost their passports?

Projects. Will get excited if we sign players. Typical Celtic spiv cheapskate mentality.

Sack the board.

Wish we'd had mcginn yesterday would have bossed it with broony.

McGinn ain’t good enough plays the odd good game against Celtic.

Needs to improve a lot before he is even worth a place on our bench.

Matter of opinion kev a like him and his aggression and passing would be an asset imo happy New year.

Happy New Year lads

I don’t rate McGinn at all, like you say opinions.

It’s the same when people say sign this SPL striker with the chances we create he’ll score loads. Rarely ever happens.

Obviously if he signs we back him but I’d rather we signed someone that can create goals and help our Strikers score more.

Midfield. Yeah okay. first let's sort the defence out.

Buying mcginn now would be madness if we don't fix the elephant in the room first. I. e. buy an elephant and stick it in the goal with Gordon boyata and simo teams would still score.

Magicpole use to laud Rangers 1872 for their transfer buying and lament we were cheap skates .
I love the way our fans can watch and support Celtic against Hibs . They can decide if a Hibs player is good enough . In the mean time Celtic send an experienced scout to watch only an individual player, at the moment Mc Ginn . Even after this intense watching Celtic send more scouts to watch Mc Ginn on a number of occasions before making up mind.

Brendan Rodgers isn't fallible and Imo he got it all wrong today. Dembeles head is elsewhere and should never have played (take the money now) Gordon is a great shot stopper but if you want to play out from the back then Gordon and Boyata are bombs cares.

How Ntcham never started is startling and young Ralston can't come back quick enough because mikael is struggling. The sooner we stop slagging the glib and that mob the better. Although still a bit away they're getting better. Hand on your heart bhoys are we? . Positives . Build our defence round Ajer and KT. Happy new year bhoys ☘.

Patdabhoy r u joking “they are getting better” have a word with yourself. The quality of both teams was terrible but this is us playing way below standard/ ability and them playing their hearts out. How many they won in a row again? Beat from St. John’s and killie! They matched us for effort and fitness but we were poor with decision making and looked tired as we have done for weeks. Get a few in next month, move a few in and get some fresh competition for places. Treble is on and if we get that then it’s another great season.

He’s bang on with his assessment of the game tho.

br got it so wrong . Ncham should have seen on beyond the blue eyed sinclair . forrest should have been subbed after 30 . We miss rogic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Patdabhoy u r bang on. Dembele had no interest today. He has sights elsewhere big time. Gordon made some great saves and is a good shot stopper but shocking with them ball at his feet. They killed us in midfield except from brown and when ntcham came on. Two of the worst misses l have ever seen from sinclair. A lot of players found wanting today. And Dembele for me was shocking and looked likes a player who had no interest. Look at these end of their game he had is watch and bracelet on! We made them look good and their sub go man of the match! Rogers got midfielder wrong and not statying ntcham l have no idea what he was thinking. We got away with it today. Brown, kt, ajer and ntcham did well. Recruitment needed big time.

We were running on empty today especially second half, 38 games plus internationals in the first half of the season has clearly taken its toll, Aberdeen and Hibs both drew as well so it’s as you were at the top of the table, no excuses we were not at it today but we didn’t lose and we now get a much needed break and hopefully a couple of good signings and we’ll be back on form come January 24th v Brechin City in the Scottish Cup, listen 2017 has been a great year watching our club, a wee blip and the bedwetters are out in force 😉🔫, let’s get behind the team and more good times to come 🍀 HH .

Yes the assessment of the game is correct but to be honest I could of wrote that before the game. What we have said about Gordon and Boyata for weeks if not all season. Obviously it’s the best we have at the moment or Rodgers would change it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - What exactly did Boyata do wrong yesterday to warrant being singled out for criticism?}

31 Dec 2017 13:40:50
Both CBS had good game yesterday.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I thought so too, Kev.}

Boyata, apart from his mandatory four or five heart stopping short passes, played well. Sadly, most of his team mates failed to trap.

Not that it mattered, it was only a derby against out fiercest rivals.

Forrest, Lustig, McGreggor, Sinclair, Armstrong, Dembelle, AWOL.

It’s not what Boyata did wrong it’s the fact he slows the pace down and can’t pick a pass or at times completed a pass. That’s down to his ability of a ball playing centre half. But like I said earlier he is going to play because of other players issues.

Sinclair has that in his bag when he's off it. Remember similar misses against the dons in cup final. i think we need at least 5 starters signed this window and next and get griff in crom start.

Absolutely Drew. Player's have played a full league season in the space of 4-5 months. Yesterday was the highlight of Sevco's season. a draw at Celtic Park! We dominated them in the first half and they could only try and contain us. 2nd half they won, but I'm not upset about it. Put it into perspective. There will be a revolving door in January, the squad will be refreshed and we'll be ready to go again. We're top of the league, in Europe and the treble is still on. Happy New Year, y'all!

good to see ajer getting a start in this game, hope he has a cracker.

Agree2 Disagree0

Thought the big guy was excellent. When we get a replacement for Lustig, and gordon, another CB the defence might be less suicidal.

I can dream.

Have you heard anything about Ntcham getting droped for Armstrong?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

I've heard that both are allowed to play! Its really just what the manager decides.
