So Ange is favourite for the Leicester job, won't that interfere with his work at Spurs, Leeds, Crystal Palace and Chelsea? ?.

Too late, you’re meant to piss off in February.

Ange is now out to 14/ 1.
Ladbrokes have Benitez as their favourite @ 5/ 2.

Read all the opinions on KT but can't help thinking it's a free hit that has already paid for itself. If he never left and was always out injured, our bank account would be minus £25M. Get both sides of the debate but sort of on the fence with this one.

Best team won, they wanted it more, but there was only one team on the park. We were pathetically inept in every department and looked like total strangers who had never seen a ball before. Hatate was particularly awful but hard to pick anyone who wasn't! Even think we were better against Dortmand when we got horsed.
We have looked off it for last Six to eight weeks though managed to grind out results. Fortunately, we are in a window and have the wherewithal and a chance to freshen the squad as long as they are better than what we have, even if some favourites need to move on.
Not a knee jerk but standing still in football equates to going backwards.

When you get beat 3 zip and you have more than 2/ 3 of possession it shows that the ball is wasted being played in the wrong area of the pitch.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 17:43:09
Nothing to take from that game in terms of plusess and most have made the points I would probably made. This will make us better. The transfers will now be ramped up and needed to be honest. I hope that action will be taken against them for our player being struck with a missile, not the first time and won't be the last.

Thought Ralston was excellent yesterday. Quietly efficient and cover every blade of grass.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 10:18:06
He's definitely goid enough for spl as good as anybody in the league but Europe is another thing.
2.) 27 Dec 2024 10:56:53
I thought he also had a great match when he came on in the final.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 12:23:15
At this stage we are building a team to be competitive in Europe. We should expect our first teams stars to be good enough to play well domestically and in Europe . We need a back -up squad capably of performing well domestically and not let us down completely in Europe .
We are lucky we have Ralston, both for his ability and also that he is club trained.

Anthony Ralston is in his 10th year at Celtic as a first team regular. Scottish internationalist with black boots and nae daft haircut who always gives his best for club and country no more can be asked of any man. Airdrie’s finest. On permanent stand keeping himself fit and always available in the event of an injury to Alastair Johnstone. Never let's the detractors get to him which he will no doubt hear and never let's us down when called upon to wear the green and white. What a positive professional attitude. He had an excellent game yesterday. Unfortunately he’s a whipping bhoy for a section of the support. The ‘we need a ‘step up at right back for Europe is an often heard comment. Tell me a position in the Celtic team that couldn’t do with being improved upon for Europe?
6.) 27 Dec 2024 14:04:44
We're blessed with two quality RB's, Hope Taylor signs a new deal and we get another permanent LB then we're sorted in the full back areas.

Spot on re Ralston JFP, a true Celt.
22 Dec 2024 14:09:09
Do we have any winger who is actually capable of beating a defender and putting a cross into the box? Without taking a half dozen touches, shutting down any space they were in and then going back to the half way line to restart the 30 odd pointless passes over again.
28 Nov 2024 09:28:21
Think Bernardo has earned a stating place. His link up play is excellent and he brings a bit of dynamism to a sometimes flat midfield. No worries about Engels, we've seen what he can bring, just needs to be more consistent.
Although thought Brugge were excellent on the ball, we gave them too much time and space. They were running 40, 50 yards not being shut down then picking us off with simple one twos. We still feel a bit lightweight and lost lots of 50/ 50s. Also we are far too slow in getting from back to front.
In the end it was a good point we probably wouldn't have got going by past experience.
The Leipzig performance probably took our expectations to a level we are not yet at consistently but that's the aim.
We have the bones of a really good team and hopefully the next few windows can see the tweaks and upgrades that will take us forwards.
Onward and upward.

Good post chasaboy,
It was a terrible mistake but I thought CCV played well for the remainder of the game, when other players might’ve crumbled.
2.) 28 Nov 2024 10:54:33
We were not fully committed to the press in the first half. This means players get more time on the ball and can make the pass with no pressure as our players were not on them quick enough.

I'd have valle in ahead of taylor as well chasa.

If we always played the way we did against RB the big money teams would strip us bare. Still love to get there though ?.
6.) 28 Nov 2024 18:22:33
Agree with that chasa boy. For me I genuinely think Hatate a luxury we can’t afford in Europe. Very poor. Think Brugge manager got better of Brendan tactics wise first half and also thought whole team looked leggy from the off. Just not switched on. Fair play to Brugge it was high energy from the off we couldn’t deal with which was a bit strange. I was thinking maybe big scales for Taylor at left back and all day long Bernardo in before Hatate.

Don’t forget that half the lies that people tell are not true, or some Shiite like that . T, s and I, s crossed and dotted or it doesn’t matter a feck.
30 Jul 2024 22:49:48
I know we can only speculate, but if we made an offer and they state they want more, does that put Norwich in a position similar to ‘fat boy’ at sevco when they said he was worth £20M and his agent went back and demanded a wage rise to reflect their valuation?
30 Jul 2024 21:19:07
Having no option to buy was Celtic's fuck up. There may have been no time so late in the window. It appears the people running Celtic never learn!
30 Jul 2024 21:15:40
Had they not already sanctioned a loan with option to buy for 3M with someone else before he came to us? But then after his successful stint with us, they re evaluated which they definitely have every right to do.
30 Jul 2024 08:47:39
But then there’s Halloween, bonfire night, Burns night and then Christmas. They just can’t catch a break ?.

Sorry, used a bad word. The statement was about the F all that’s coming into the box.
{Ed007's Note - The filter must have cut it out, Chas, don't worry about it.
09 Jan 2025 23:23:33
If him and Kyogo keep having to come deeper to get a touch on the ball they can’t be on the end of all that’s coming into the box.
09 Jan 2025 22:22:33
Their equaliser shouldn’t have stood, definitely a penalty at other when Murray was fouled. Regardless of how soft, anywhere else on the park, that’s a foul and a booking.
09 Jan 2025 22:12:24
Our strikers lack of goals is nothing to do with confidence, it’s down to lack of opportunities provided to them! The reason for highlighting their misses is down to the few chances created for them in most games. Maybe the modern game has changed the perspective, but down the years I can remember all Celtic strikers missing plenty but the big difference was the number of opportunities they had per game. Basically a percentage thing. IF we don’t supply them they can’t do their thing.
