The all keep saying we need players in.At the moment we have signed a Croat International,LB.Scales is joining up tomorrow.We are about to sign the top scorer in the Durch league.Jullienn to come back in.Lovric sitting by his phone awaiting a call.
Of the midfielders tonight,I liked RCs effort,and a lot of his play.Game too hectic for Rogic.Calmac having to try too hard,as Turnbull had a quiet night.Some of our football in 2nd half was excellent.
Tony is a revelation,.Great Boy.What a Tim.
And Azerbajan’s population is…………………over 10 million.
Packy is not only a FUD, he’s a THICK FUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is a blog, I get that.
I haven’t posted in a long long time and I wont post again for a long long time.”
If you don`t ( post again for a long long, time), you will make the negative children feel theirs is the dominant view.Don`t let that happen. I believe that positivity spreads and, somehow, reaches the players.Keep posting.
The home page for BBC sport has Spurs qualifying for the Conference league as its headline story, Celtic has just qualified for the Europa league, a league superior to the Conference.
Backs to the wall defending in 2nd half, but held firm. Christie my MOTM, Eddie did well when he came on holding the ball up, and Montgomery was solid – he is a star in the making. Onwards and upwards, a very good outcome over 2 legs against a quality team.
HH
Does Juranovic replace Ralston with immediate effect?
Or can he play left back?
for me
Hart 7 . Ignore the goal and he was 9
Ralston 6 – brilliant in last 20 but lost for 70
Starfelt – 7. Brainfart but was great second half clearing and positioning
Welsh – 9 brainfart but excellent apart from that
Taylor – can’t mark him due to bad injury. guts though
Monty – 9 . Did everything right MOTM
Rogic – 5 , lacked fight and risky passes
McGregor 6 – average for him(which is still good), poor defensively
Turnbull 6 – toiled for 90 but didn’t get the space he wanted ,
Abada -7, good moments but worked very hard on that side. Happy for him
Furuhashi – 5 – didn’t think he got into it. seems harsh as he scored but he was bullied
Christie 6 – energy but gave it away too many times, did well in the close out
Soro 7 – high score due to lack of minutes but did well when he came on
all about opinions. I don’t mind anyone being negative or positive
We’re a stone throw away from where we wont to be but a mile closser. A reality check was served tonight. Keep up the good work Ange and get your board to release funds for a left back especially. Ave Ave
St Tams, brilliant reply pal 😂 you are my equal, I know the same as you, it’s called an opinion. I don’t think Starfelt is a dud as you obviously do, Ryan Christie done a great job for the team tonight, maybe you can’t see that also 👀 I can’t possibly comment on your knowledge of the game, my opinion is that it’s poor. My opinion and that’s all it it is ☺
Bench was weak tonight. Again 2 keepers and a few youth players. A few injuries and we’re in bother. A big week in the transfer market for us. We now know the Euro position, which is important to the PLC in taking action.
Honestly, listening to Sportsound you’d think the huns were Ajax 1971. Obviously never watched them against Weirs Pumps Amateurs earlier.
Well said Friesdorfer. We must meet for a pint, you are in my neighbourhood. Kudos to Starfelt for a massive improvement in the second half – others would have shrunk. There is a player in there and Ange is the man to bring him out!
A hellish watch that tonight but we got through. The goals we lost were shockers. Real shockers.
The Kyogo goal was majestic.
They tired on 60 minutes. So pleased we got through.
Zagred, Sociedad and That Danish mob for me please. Try to progress.
Progress……………….
determined and relentless.
HH.
Why don’t we tell the Beeb and the rest of the Klan to gtf at our home Europa League games and they can all cosy up in front of a wee tv somewhere down pacific quay.
It must really hurt
UTLR
Ralston can’t be dropped. His heart is needed for Ibrox. He’ll kick the huns all over the place on Sunday. Not a game for a debut.

weirs pumps would have given them a walk over
FRIESDORFER on 26TH AUGUST 2021 9:52 PM
Exactly, a ‘quality team’ as apposed to a pub team that the mob faced tonight
Brian
team for sunday
Hart
Ralston Welsh Starfelt Montgomery
Turnbull Soro McGregor
Abada Edouard Furuhashi
SNAKE PLISSKEN, it was a riveting watch played at one helluva pace. Enjoyable all the more since we got through.

Progress……………….
Very much linear at the moment
Exciting times
Great result.
Hart and Starfelt made mistakes but I can tell they’re both going to be great signings.
Kyogo and Abada… great then poor but will be better for the experience.
I think getting to the EL groups, and having the chance to go top of the league on Sunday, is something we would all have been happy with 12, 6 or even 2 weeks ago.
On signings if I had to guess, I would say that we will go for Doige and either Nisbett or Boyle at Hibs.
I don’t think we’ve ever been seriously interested im the Greek #9 or Henry or Wind.
If Edouard can get a club befitting of him then he might still go but no way will he be signing for Brentfotd or Norwich or Brighton just so we can get a fee… Quite right he is too and we should roar him on to score 30 goals for us this season as we win the league.
Lastly….Moffat, Vata and Murray in the B team are certs to make it but I’ve never been surer about a player than I am about Bosun Lawal…. OMG….This guy could go to VVD levels.
Great few weeks and quietly confident about Sunday.
HH
just watched Ellen Keane winning the 100m breaststroke gold for ireland in the paralymics
puts it all in perspective. She has been the golden girl on adverts in Ireland for a few years and now has her gold
chuffed as hell
SNAKE PLISSKEN on 26TH AUGUST 2021 9:56 PM
A hellish watch that tonight but we got through.

Would that be Garry Caldwell that played in the team that beat Milan?
celtic40me,
We have nowhere near the squad needed to be successful in Scotland and starting to progress in Europe.
The Celtic Board must back Ange and get in 3 more quality players this Window and probably 2 in January.
I have a lot of Trust in the Celtic Academy, after tonight, left back isn’t as scarey as before – Adam was outstanding in such a pressured game. I hope he can really kick on and make it to Regular….like Every game. High Hopes there.
Carl is obviously taking time to adjust, Frankly I’d go Bigger and pay whatever we can for the latest Bobo out there.
We need 2 CH’s IMO, a fitba player and a Bobo type and a proper left sided player.
We have 1.5 of a squad – Ange needs at least 2.
Our Board have to deliver.
Read back already. I think I’m in agreement with a minority and not so with the majority.
On the plus side. Welsh and Ralston battling it out for my MotM – again. Hart made 2 saves I think. They also missed a sitter. Some long range shooting was their other threat, and that was poor.
So defensively we must have done something right.
I did expect us to create lots of chances. We only created a couple apart from the goal.
I thought we were lucky to win the first leg by 2 goals. And we were also lucky not to lose this game by two goals.
AZ were a really good side. They play the same style as we are attempting but are slightly better at it. Which made me wonder why they resorted to long balls for the last 15 minutes.
Excellent that we have progressed in this competition rather than dropping down a “division”.

This is EXACTLY how it was presented on the BBC site:
`If Celtic do go through, they’ve gotten away with it tonight. They’ve given away big goals and played themselves into a lot of trouble at times`
True though, isn’t it??
Hot smoked @ 9:52
Thanks for the positive comments.
IniquitosIV @9:46
In nearly 60 years I’ve never called a Celtic player a dud. There’s a difference but you carry on.
CONEYBHOY
“ I don’t mind anyone being negative or positive.”
I agree with you. I think most posters have a bit of both, just in different proportions, which is perfectly natural.
Anyone who is relentlessly and ubiquitously positive or negative can be a bit jarring. There was a lot to be positive about tonight, but it seems to me totally unrealistic of posters not to expect others not to have adverse comment when they see one brain fart after another by Welsh, Hart and Starfelt within the space of a few minutes. Do they think fans are going to put their hands over their eyes and chant “Didn’t see that, Ne, Ne, Ne!?”
These comments are born from frustration, not lack of support. And a lot of it stems from the Board’s annual lack of timely support for the manager, and the signing if players AFTER play off rounds, rather than before.
HH
what an achievement
job done
a team in transition, sometimes you learn from your mistakes and it hurts, sometime you lean and it makes you stronger. You cant buy experience like that. Very well played defence by the TEAM,the defence in the second half. outstanding performance Celtic. kept a good team out when it counted. Good teams do that,
Maybe a few signings were waiting to see what happened tonight, expect a few good signings .Maybe even a Ryan Cristie.
The league wont be won or lost in one game.
Normally dont like international breaks but a few weeks training will be so good for us right now. So many of our new signings thrown into the deep end.
One mare big push Celtic, then upward and onward The mighty Glasgow Celtic.
metta
Thank you Sellic…..Young Adam the real deal, Has all the attributes of a young K.T..
Look forward to following his progress..
H.H
fuck them wir through 👍🍺😂😂😂😂
Ah yes, I forgot to mention how good Monty was. 👏
BBC Scotland News at Ten. ” A calamitous performance from Celtic but a 3-0 (wtf) home win narrowly seen them through” . Re Sevco, “A depleted Rangers (sic) squad did enough to get them through.”
The hun news reader had an East Belfast accent.
Well done Ange and the lads and great to have achieved European football up to Christmas although we were generous in giving the our opponents their presents early.
The Dutch could have been there ’till the cows came home and still wouldn’t have scored. Stout defending in the second half and it could be the confidence injection that is needed. Eddy no doubt is a class act and was superb when he came on, can we keep him? Ryan Christie ran himself into the ground for the cause and kyogo got the early vital winning hit, he’s always doing that.
BASHI-BAZOUKS
Chris Killen played in a team that beat Milan. But he was never a football player.
Five days for those in charge to emulate this result in our transfer market business. We know it can be difficult, but please…just get it done!
I remember in Brendan’s time, the 2nd leg against Hapoel being just as nerve-racking, but it was the result that mattered – tonight, in its own way, this will be just as important for Ange – I salute him, he deserves it.
In Ange We Trust
Where we are now compared to where we were 6 weeks ago is nothing short of miraculous.
I have zero confidence in there being a net spend to strengthen and believe there will only be players brought if Edouard is sold in time. I can see another Dembele scenario.
The manager must be supported.
