I’m largely ignoring the defensive lapses of last night. There will be at least two changes for the Champions League, and everyone will be far more attentive. It was, though, a concern that both Kilmarnock goals came as a result of Celtic’s left-hand-side being breached.
Malmo’s Age Hareide will have noted this, and whatever attacking resources he deploys next week are likely to try to exploit a perceived weakness. Ronny will have a choice: Izzie or Charlie? My money’s on the latter.
Tom Rogic didn’t have the perfect game but it was good to see him take so much responsibility. He’s looked like the office junior of the Celtic midfield on previous outings, as did Nir Bitton for most of his early games. If Rogic has genuine talent, we need to let him find his feet in games like these.
Ronny Deila answered all questions after the game but gave little away. I hope his dismissal of injury worries was accurate. Kris Commons is the gravy in his pie. We are capable of beating anyone without Kris, but we need him doing his thing if we are to take a comfortable victory to Sweden.
Yesterday I was looking over Celtic’s form in November 2006 after doing an interview for a French magazine, who are writing a piece on Shunsuke Nakamura. That was the month Naka scored the goal which sent us top of the group and into the knock-out rounds of the Champions League for the first time – with a game to spare, no less.
It’s less well remembered that earlier that month we went out of the League Cup after losing at home to Falkirk on penalties, or that we couldn’t win at Easter Road immediately after the Champions League win.
Indifferent performances and results surround some of our greatest European performances. Getting it right when it counts is what matters.

“Icelandic team were absolute gash, we still managed to concede through dreadful defending”
Even Gibraltar and San Marino score goals. 4-1 away from home was perfectly acceptable.
Haven’t seen Scott Allan play as I never watch the Huns and that would be the only time he would have been on TV so cannot really comment on his ability. LiviBhoy who has watched him regularly as his missus is a Hibee rates him highly. Clearly if our management team rate him as well there must be something in there.
Dylan if he goes, good luck son I’ll always remember that dubut goal! If young Liam goes too I hope it’s for developmental reasons only as that boy can be a future star in the Hoops!

Did i say the result in Iceland was unacceptable ? deary me
Got a text from a mate of mine Whois son is pally with SA and he said he is definitely signing for Celtic today, for what ever that’s worth, PS MY mate and his son don’t BS.
Sometimes you just know that whatever the laws of physics are, whatever powers exist outside our ken influence life on earth, they incorporate a sense of humour.
After my ridiculous notion of the Teddy Bear yesterday wearing the hoops and Scott Allan (almost) finalising his assumption into the earthly paradise, along comes amazon and provides today free downloadable apps one of which I have no doubt was specifically built for the lonely of heart-pining rangers/sevco/newco fan, sitting in his bedroom, loft, or cell burdened by angst and desolation….
It’s time to cheer up your solitary existence with………

Have the Daily Record said ‘Scott Allan talks stall’ yet?
Faced with tough choices in life I now find myself asking this simple question:
What would Warbs do?
I haven’t gone wrong yet.
Just logged on and see Estadio posting
Today will be another good day. :))))))))
Labour leadership debate? I know who Warbs would go for.

I spotted that myself. I don’t think we were too bothered about Miller rejoining Rangers,different wi Judas-though the huns hated him too.
Novo we would have ignored had his behaviour been better.
Nope,The Herald should really have run wi an article on how the huns rarely need an excuse for their shocking behaviour,and we should all be on our guard against it,adding that it is disgraceful-cf their social media in the last 24 hours-that they are continually allowed to get away with it.
Ian Archer would have done so…
Oh pleeeeease let this be the day the office hun finally goes over the edge. I’ve got 2 pencils and an old pair of underpants waiting for him here!

Spotted ally mccoist in Waterston. He was buying ‘What would Warbs do? For Dummies’
Classic.

Scott Allan? Decent player for me, but would need to make a big step up to get onto our bench. He might be able to do it though,
Liam Henderson will benefit from regular football. I have high hopes for him and he won’t develop on the fringes of our first team.

I was just going to point in the direction of your posts last night ,
Thank you for posting.

Estadio, looking forward to reading that later. I can’t/shouldn’t do it from work.
I’m still smiling at your FB post when you ordered the take away curry from the pub and managed to get the delivery driver to give you a lift up the road – quality :-)

Warbs learned everything he knows from John Fleck.
Matt, good to read you again
Been on Google etc,embdae got a good CV template? Thanks in advance
Shortbread saying Liam Henderson going to Hibs on loan as part of the deal. Would have liked Liam Henderson with us this season, but if he can get a game week-in-week-out and some enjoyable Hunskelping, then why not.

Thanks, but writing is difficult now although fog is a lot thinner than it was during the worst of the mental pea-soupers.
I Just grab things that fit in with my sense of the quirky and ridiculous.
It’s a long road but thanks again.

Understandable why people wait for official notification ……
Trust me on this one and a big hail hail to ye……
Welcome Scott Allan, he is currently a better footballer than both Henderson, McGregor once established into RD methods he will be a first pick.

Strange comment ….explain yurself, mhan
I did notice one columnist stating that SA should fear for his life if he signed for Celtic, and it was written as a matter of fact thing that would happen.
Shocking article if you ask me,shameful that a columnist like this should not be hauled over the coals for putting a young man’s safety at risk, absolutely astonishing.
Tony….
Big Hail Hail to ye……
3 Things
1) Scott Allen – Does RD think he is a younger fitter Commons ??
2) Who was that lad (No 49) that played for us at Killie ???
There is a player in there somewhere – A bit more of the same please James – and regularly
3) Efe – never won a header and lost the first goal – never a Central Defender – sad but true

My own thoughts on allen
ok lets have him …. but if it means kris c or stefan j. To leave ….. then it would not be so good
Good Morning.
Here are some more thoughts on Scott Allan. Particularly the arrogance of the media about Sevco’s ‘right’ to sign him.

Have a great day! I am really struggling not to laugh…

Ill trust you and your sources , whoever they may be, but if it turns out you’re wrong you’re going to have to eat a SHED load of humble pie…

Well the Malmo manager said he did not see anything from Celtic that would scare him.What did he see ? he saw a celtic team create lots of chances and failing to take most of them,He saw a jittery Celtic defence lose 2 goals and it might have been more,he saw a ponderous midfield with no real creativity and he saw a wonder goal from Bitton.So why would he fear us after that performance we need to improve and quickly or we will be in Europa group sections before we know it. H.H.
So fat this morning (nae leccy) as getting a wee electrical job done, I have been rerouted to the App Store about half a dozen times to get Game of War or a betting app about a dozen times on the iPhone!
