Much better performance today, heart at the heart of the battle.
Not convinced that we have the players to win all of our remaining games but at least we now have the opportunuty to make them sweat a bit.
Please pick the right team Gordon and get them up for the battle.

can't believe the furore around Hartley on here
Is this the guy who gave away possesion for their goal today
OK other than that he played ok. Yes ok nothing spectacular and definitely not the hero he has been potrayed on here.
If we had been beat today then the goal he gave away would have been lambasted and shows another reason why football fans are fickle. Win - all is great and lose - all is terrible.
I am a happier man today despite the fact I don't think we have any chance for the league but my love of the hoops makes my heart rule my head.
I get more frustrated each week though with our Manager. Before the game he was asked the question if we worked harder in training given recent results and his answer was no everything is fine.
He said that the defence is doing a good job as the chances per game is limited. He also says at the same time that the possesion and passes in each game are in our favour (which would probably explain why the opposition have had few shots).
He says that nothing is wrong with the defence and he has told the defence to keep up the good work.
Are you having a laugh Mr S? The reason shots have been limited is because of the amount of possesion we have had (as you say) and not because of the great defence. You also say it is good (and unlucky) that we have only conceded 1.2 shots per game and some goals here and there.
I must take issue with this. I think it speaks volumes of our poor defence that very few chances are turned into goals and the reason is because the defending is so poor that when limited chances come along they are easy to take.
Ironically that is exactly the reason we are not scoring despite many chances. Every time we get a chance it is not clear cut. Because either a) the other team are defending well or b) our passing has created a half chance.
When our defence plays crap (aka Motherwell at home) and let us go 1 down then our chances become harder because when we get them our forwards have more forwards to compete with as the opposition then have 10 men behind the ball.
For Mr S to say that nothing needs working at at training and the fact that the defence are doing just sums up the fact that this man is extremely out his depth.
If Mr S wasn't at our club then today's 4-1 win would have been celebrated rounds the pubs and clubs as it would have been us achieving 3 in a row.
Simple as that.
Mediocrity breeds acceptance to mediocrity and the fact that Hartley is being applauded today speaks volumes to the depths we have gone to.

malceye @ 17.34
I heard that comment too as I tuned in to see what the score was on my way back. I'm not sure Messi would have run the ball too far and ended up getting booked on the run the commentator was on about! I near crashed my car when I heard it! My wee bhoy asked me when Rangers had signed Messi, I just laughed. What could I say to that?
Great performance by the bhoys today. I thought Robson and Hartley were fantastic, great dig and composure when required. I take it Hartley got the Setanta MOM award with the cameraman following him and I would say it was richly deserved.
I thought the crowd played it's part today. I know the away support are usually a good bit more vociferous but we got right behind the team from the off. It was quite sparsely populated up the back of the South Stand but I couldn't make out why the stewards and Police got involved to my right for a while. Nothing really untoward being chanted/sung from what I could make out.
Looking forward with much more confidence to Wednesday night. Patch up the lads who started today and send them out to battle again against them on Wednesday.
Another thing I thought about today is the much maligned JVOH and Skippy partnership must now be close to having 50 goals between them which is a return I think we would all have thought decent at the start of the season, though I realise not so long ago we had a guy who could bag that on his own! Not many partnerships in Britain will have provided that return.

It was a 'real' article written in observatuonal-criticism mode of Celtic fans' 'slating' (his word) of WGS. In my letter to the Editor I pointed out that, quite correctly, he would not have been allowed to make any such similar reference to Moslems/Jews/Hindus/Masons/Orangemen
-
'Observational' obviously - must be getting tired.
-
Today, I thought Barry Robson was our best player.
He must have had more crunching & legitimate tackles than any other player on the pitch today.
But, me being the paranoid/cheat checker, I could not believe the actions of the Motherwell players during the half-time break.
They had a major kick-in, in the goal that Artur would be defending, and the goalie looked as though he was digging a tunnel in Escape to Victory. What Was That About? Whereas The Celtic “Subs” were splaying balls across the pitch staying well clear of the’goalmouth’ at the other end. Gamesmanship? No, watch the groundsmen at every away game. They pay particular attention to the area their team will be defending.
Anywho, great result today, but, and I don’t mean this geographically, AYE A DO, but, can all the TEUCHTERS (anywhere East of Glasgow – espec. Lothians) please stop slagging every mis-placed pass. You, all sound so GAY :-)
GET IT?
Well how do you think CELTIC PLAYERS feel when all THEY can hear is VITRIOL?
Apologies to all non teuchters, but, I seem to get stuck wae them every away game :-)

i don't know if we have commented much about it on here today but did anyone see the Sunday Herald's bead rattling quote in today's paper
Shocking and when are we going to get a CEO to stand up for us and challenge these people

Well done Bhoys today. Good to see a little bit of heart and soul back again.
6 games to go and you just never know. That fat lady I heard last week was a little quiter today.
Could not believe the scterian slur in th Herald today. Celtic PLC must make a public official complaint to this Newspaper. Having band myself from the Red Tabs I now find I may have to add my Sunday read to my list of banded media. At this rate I will be reading Roy of the Rovers for all my footy needs. Thank goodness for CQN.
As for the racist slur on Naka does anyone know of a good journalist in this country who can highlight this to UEFA big wigs as it is both Secterianism and racism that they are fighting against at this time or does that only apply to one side of our great devide.
Hail Hail.
Is 3-in-a-row a possibility again? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Guys, Paul is manfully putting up a new article every time we reach 200 posts, to compensate for blogger's problems. It doesn't help if a dozen comments are copied over from the last post evry time. Just saying...
Every week there is some new example of the depth to which their supporters will stoop. Their club does nothing to stop it and the media either laughs it off or ignores it completely. What does it take for some sanction to be applied?
PS - I am still waiting for a reply from the SFA to my e-mail asking how "Walter's" touch line infraction would be investigated.
-
Tonybhoy,
"In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King."
An old saying, granted, but valid as the day is long.
Nobody is saying Paul Hartley is a world beater. It's just that he is better than the alternatives we have been suffering of late.
He has had a raw time of it, being dropped after an outstanding performance at Pittodrie for Daonati, dropped after being one of our better performers at Ibrox for Donati and dropped after two excellent back to back performances against Soartak away and St Mirren - again for Donati.
Neither Donati nor Brown have shown any kind of consistency that has merited their continual inclusion. Scott Brown's suspension may be a blessing without the disguise.
Hartley and Robson done more today than the other two have done since January.
Hartley is no Kaka, but he's certainly no cack either.
-
SeeBee - send a copy of your complaint to the club, FAO the good doctor and let's see if you get a response!
What else is he doing?!

Same team as today on Wedenesday will do nicely.
Only change that should be considered would be Wilson in for Naylor, who was once again the weakest link by a considerable margin.
Good to see Mizuno on the bench, hopefully he will get a run out on Wednesday when the result has been put beyond any doubt.

BTW - well done on a brilliant 12th man performance today -away support are the business!! -came across really well on TV today.

tonybhoy
bang on the money with your last comment.
paul hartley was at fault for the motherwell goal, thereafter he ran about a lot tidied up and by and large was as you say, average.
the problem is donati was struggling before him so an average game and suddenly, he is the great white hope.
i fear for wednesday because he has better players to contend with, at ibrox he was average and partially at fault for the rangers goal, with 20 minutes to go he was blowing like a dolphin.
sadly the euphoria is misplaced and it does smack of clutching at straws. as for his setanta man of the match scott booth picked him, very early in the first half before he had kicked a ball if you listen to his comments.
dearly hoping he does well on wednesday because he is now automatically selected, but average won't do.
-
u2_1888
agree Hartley was ok today and better than any recent central midfield performances but still nothing special
In normal circumstances it would be worthy of mention that it was improvement.
However comments today have went above a worthy mention (which is not merited) and also the fact he helped to give away a lead (something that could have lead to worse) means that no heroship today for Paul from me.
If we had a decent manager then today's 4-1 win would be irrelevant as the league would already be won.

bournesouprecipe thanks for the agreement as i'm sitting here with a few beers in me wondering if it is me

U2 1888
"Scott Brown's suspension may be a blessing without the disguise"
How true, how very true. He has been in the team whenever available and he is probably the biggest disappointment this season. How many games is he out for ? Hartley and Robson have the up and at'em attitude without the "face-offs" that Brown delights in.
Don't get me wrong, I think that Brown has much to offer. We need a coach who knows where and how he should play before he will shine. But we've done that discussion for now.

Rangers at bottom of hygiene league
who would eat here 5 star my ass
SIR Sean Connery is among a host of celebrities who have enjoyed VIP hospitality over the years at the home of Glasgow Rangers.
But 007, not to mention thousands of paying fans, would doubtless be more than a little shaken and stirred to learn that the club was shown the yellow card by food hygiene officials.
Scotland on Sunday can reveal that public health inspectors found beetles and flies in kitchens at Ibrox Stadium.
The discovery of insects in cooking and food storage areas was one of a catalogue of hygiene breaches unearthed in an inspection, which took place 18 months ago but has only now been made public.
Rangers said last night they had fixed the problem completely within three weeks of the report.
One kitchen, which was infested with sewage flies, was adjacent to the club's prestigious Thornton Suite, which hosts champagne receptions and five-course meals.
Well-heeled VIP fans spend up to £5,460 a season to reserve a table in the executive hospitality area next to the manager's office.
Rotting food and a bucket of stagnant water were also discovered in meal preparation areas. The inspectors reported:
• Dermestes beetles in a Members' Lounge kitchen store;
• Filter flies in both the Thornton Suite and Argyle Suite kitchens;
• "Putrefying food matter" in the Members' Lounge kitchen store;
• A bucket of dirty water in the Members' Lounge kitchen;
• Condensation from the ceiling dripping onto food in the walk-in freezer in the main kitchen;
• Defective dishwashers, filthy ventilation grilles and grease filters, out-of-date marmalade, loose ceiling panels, uncovered ice cream, sugar and flour being stored, broken plasterwork and flaking paint in the chairman's kitchen.
The report also ordered the club to remove a disused and obsolete fish fridge from the main kitchen, to subject other food preparation areas to a "deep clean before use" and to repair missing grouting from kitchen floor tiles.
It also demanded that the populations of flies and beetles be eradicated and states: "It is recommended that access to the kitchens be limited to food handlers only."
The results of the inspection have been put into the public domain by the Environmental Protection Services department of Glasgow City Council.
Corporate hospitality is a huge money-spinner for the SPL leaders.
Rangers operates a host of restaurants, bars, lounges and executive boxes in the stadium, with prices ranging from £90 for a match-day table in the Symon Lounge to more than £5,400 for a season-long package at the plush Thornton Suite and Club Deck Boxes.
The club's portfolio describes its hospitality facilities as "unbeatable". It states: "Ibrox hospitality is about more than just watching football in style. Visits from Rangers legends and current first-team players are part of the experience, plus tours of the famous Trophy Room."
The blue-carpeted Thornton Suite, where flies were found in the kitchen, is billed as the ultimate in match-day luxury. "The Suite symbolises the heritage that has made Rangers one of the most celebrated clubs in the world. Surrounded by some of Ibrox's most famous rooms, guests experience first-hand the unique atmosphere.
"Guests enter via the main door, exclusive to VIPs and players, and proceed via the marble staircase to a champagne reception before enjoying a five-course meal in luxurious surroundings."
The club boasts that the Members' Lounge, where beetles and rotting food were found in the kitchen and in a store, "will make an impression on any guest".
Sir Sean, perhaps the best-known Rangers fan and a close friend of club chairman David Murray, has received VIP hospitality at Ibrox on several occasions. Comedian Andy Cameron and current Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist have hosted match-day receptions for fans at the stadium.
According to one council pest control expert, Dermestes, or larder, beetles – which are black or brown and can grow to a third of an inch long and live for a year – cause considerable problems in kitchens.
He said: "They feed on almost any material that is rich in protein and attack meats, cheese, fish and dried foods."

Awalkacross, I have left your ‘first’ but the others have to go while we are under a 200 comment pressure.
Sixoclock, if we win the big prize this season it’ll take them a v long time to recover.
Moombeams, your point about having fewer and fewer newspapers to read is a telling one. I am no longer a customer of any of them.
Gordon J, very good point, thanks.
U2 1888, tonybhoy, In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is stoned for heresy.
-
Tonybhoy,
Your last comment - agree, but we don't and it isn't.
The frustration with Gordon is his reluctance to drop off form players. And his eagerness to drop in-form players for his favourite off-form players. If you follow.
So, when a player who has been unfairly punted returns and shows up the previous incumbants as being not fit for purpose (copyrite enfringement?) it's only natural that he is lauded.
He deserves it in my view, and will demonstrate it if kept in the team for the rest of the season.
Irrespective of whether or not we win the next two games, and irrespective of how well or otherwise he plays, anyone willing to bet Hartley will be dropped for Brown after the suspension is up?
C'mon the Celtic, get the pressure hose right on them on Wednesday!!!

A vermin-infested rat hole -we've all known that for years!!

sixoclockatthechapel,
A lot of my previous post was tongue in cheek. I thought the singing today was tremendous, call it defiant if you will. But, it was the best for months!
I was never a fan of Barry Robson, but, today he was good (ok very good) but, I also thought on that scandalous pitch Naka, occasionally played some measured passes, especially when under pressure defensively.
But, would big Jan have scored two if he hadn't been scandalously booked?
Paul67, Reading the press, mmm.
Recently, I can't remember the last time I read a paper and, IT'S PART OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION. Any jobs going?
-
I would not say any performance today was outstanding but at least to a man (almost) it was better with a little more fight and determination. Scott McManus is still not a captain though. JVOH goals were both goodins and Skippy took his well too although if that was my keeper I would expect Boruc to save that shot. 4-1 was good looking from previous results perspective but I felt we should have went for more. Bad goal to lose once again from the minute the ball was lost by Hartley to the shot from Scott McManus.
Paul was Scott McManus a slip of the finger or meant as a joke missed by all on here previously? LOL.
HAIL HAIL.

Paul67,
What's you take on the Riordan situation?
I'm undecided, but i am disappointed the way he has been treated. Don't think he deserves that. What's Gordon gripe?
Until today i was starting to think BR and PH were going down the same route. It's a weird one, buy's him, bums him up at the press conference then does not play him.
-
what prospect Samaras starting Wednesday night ? He seems to be very patient, knowing that he will get a chance to come on at some stage. However, the man has oodles of skill and you have to think that, if we persisted with him, the connection between McGeady/Naka and him could be highly significant. The problem is fleeting appearances do not foster such relationships on the field of play.

Surely Paul, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man gets a job driving the bus.

I heard Tam Cowan commenting on your story on the radio. He said that Rangers have corrected the story. Seemingly there were beetles but absolutely no flies were found.
It seems the flies were no offenders.

Do you think DR he might still have a future if GS decides to leave this summer?
-
WGS,
Derek Riordan has reached his plateau - CELTIC RESERVES!
-
So what is/are the reason(s) for the manager taking so long to make real changes in midfield?
- Pig headedness
- Stubbornness
- Bad management
- All of the above
- Or under pressure from the board to play his big money buys (Brown & Donati) after a series of poor expensive signings.
-
caltontongues-
couldn't agree more that Jvoh was given a very cheap yellow card- "scandalous" just about sums it up.
But -what you mean when you say would he have scored 2 if he hasdn't been booked??
-
Didn't know Derek MacInnes was now St Johnstone coach - bet they'll bust a gut in the semi!!
Hartley and Robson were effective today by just doing what they were supposed to do. Let's not kid ourselves that we have a midfielder who can control a game like Wee Bazza, but with at least two fighters in the middle then our flair players can dictate the course of the game.
I agree with Kano about Naka and I would play Evander to let Barry Robson push up on the left. I've been bleeting on here about putting Aiden back on the right for weeks. He would have Papac spinning like a top.
Wilson should have had game time before now to put pressure on Lee Naylor, who seems to be guaranteed a game no matter how poor his previous performance was.
Haven't been overly impressed with the defensive performances of Herr Hinkel and was glad to see Paul Caddis on the bench. Great things expected of this bhoy.

Papac won't be playing on Wednesday. Smith will go with Whitakkear. Cousin will play up through the middle to batter our centre halves. Midfield will consist of Davis on the right. Ferguson, Thomson and Dailly in the centre with McCulloch on the left. Broadfoot, Weir, Cuellar and Whitakkear in defence.
-
Its amazing how differently the team perform when they play in front of supporters, who are singing for the team.

to answer your question I would need to know what a "real" change was as opposed to a change. And I might need an answer option that doesn't fit the pre-judgement that he's a fud.
Hey Ho, we won today.
At half time in the South Stand lower , I looked around and saw a Celtic fan slumped in his chair, arms folded, with the expression of someone who found out his internet bride was Vanessa Feltz. It looked like this guy came for a different kind of party and could find no fun in the absence of rancour and booing today.
Six more cup finals to go. Maybe we won't achieve the miracle but, until then, let's enjoy the ride.
-
sixoclockatthechapel.
It seemed to me as though he felt aggrieved and he then went on to prove a point.
Maybe he should get booked every match from our kick-off instead of just getting a free kick given against him.
Hey maybe we could actually vary our kick off?

u2_1888
understand the comment of Hartley not getting a game when many think he should therefore a little bit of over-reaction when he comes in and does well
However I have to disagree with the favourites comment as this and the comments about formations just seem to annoy me recently.
Doesn't matter if we play Robson/Hartley/Donati or me and it doesn't matter if we play 4-4-2 or 9-0-1 it is the coaching that is the problem.
The Manager doesn't instill cofindence in the players and the coaching is poor. He says the defence are doing well. Is he having a laugh??
Watch us closely!!
Everytime we have the ball there is no movement and every pass needs to be a 50 yard decent one. Is speaks well for the players that on most occasions they carry out this pass successfully but this tactic only leads to sloppy possesion.
The fans can see he is not a decent Manager and his interviews just back up the view.
Can anyone explain why a team who did not look like they were doing anything on the training field for the last 8 weeks were given the day off on Wednesday???
Can someone please explain that one to me.
Please can someone explain it.

My name is Ulysses and I'm just trying to be a better person.
There's lots I know. Much more I don't. I can't say how the league is going to end this season. But that in itself is a good sign, surely?
But if the ebb and flow of Karma is a truth? Then their fans and by dint their team have been stockpiling a hell an amount of bad karma over the past few months.
The Nakamura banner is another, yes another, scandalous incendiary action which they, it seems, are allowed to make/take with impunity.
It truly makes my heart sad.
More to be pitied yet I find it harder to find that pity.
But I'm with Earl on this one and I'm trying to be a better person. I can only let karma dispense its logic and watch.
And each time something like this happens I can only hope it is their meridian of ignorance from which they will start their journey to, if not enlightenment, then acceptance.
I can only hope.

Why do I (and many others) regard Paul Lambert as Celtic Minded?

CaltonTongues-
With you now - probably something in that.I thought he took his 2nd goal really well -perhaps the injustice of the yellow card did spark him on a bit.
Then again a lot of our Bhoys had a point to prove today and maybe that was the difference?
Just hope they take the field with the same spirit on Wed night as they did today -hope also the home crowd "play" half as well as their away counterparts today!
Here's hoping!!

An article by a hun called Kenny Hodgart is titled
"Fans fail to show Celtic class with Strachan Slating"
rambles on about how lucky we are to have him, last 16 blah blah, accuses us of "astonishing arrogance" to want Strachan out and someone like Moyes in (his words) and quotes Ron Atkinson, yes Ron Atkinson, as a backer of Strachan. Big Ron the racist reckons that Strach wont be short of plum job offers in England once he leaves.
But the piece de resistance comes at the end, and I quote directly...
"Some fans would probably rather have a bead-rattling Hoopy the Huddle Hound in the dug out".
These huns always out themselves eventually.

WGS, no dressing room is completely without its issues and Celtic’s is no different. It is probably right that you are disappointed at the way he has been treated, as any issues the manager has had with the player have remained private. Were this not the case you may feel different.
I cannot see Derek having a future at Celtic Park.

Not blaming you - my statement was larger than that - there's been more than a few fencing foils drawn over the past 48 hours/7days on here. All you did was cut and paste. And I'm the last to be a blog nanny but the message was lost from the first sentence.
Anyway chin up mate. We've still got a few shows yet - and the Glasgow Celtic will be there...

Tonybhoy - I agree with many of your comments, but describing Ron Atkinson as a "racist" is a bit unfair. He repeatedly apologised for his comments, and none of the many black players he helped promote and develop as a manager have said they thought of him as a racist.

If you had said that in 1st post i would have disagreed but respected your opinion instead you have a dig at supporters by inferring they where the problem.This is a common tactic used by Scottish media to justify the advantages given to rangers .
I stated clearly what i thought the bad performances had been caused by and now in your last post you have.Don,t agree but your entitled to your opinion.
On the subject of hearing players on pitch that can often be heard on tv.
I agree the atmosphere at Parkhead has declined this season but given the performance and style of play this is hardly surprising.

i do not want to hide behind the cut and paste line again but it was cut and paste at the request of another poster
however when big Ron said what he said then i would not be the first to jump up and defend him
people who say things like that against black people
