Technically we’re not preseason anymore, but today’s friendly away to Dynamo Dresden is an important step. There are six weeks before the end of August, with five Champions League qualifier match days in that time.
Tuesday’s gentle introduction to competitive challenges was probably a good place to start for Celtic, this week’s run-out at Murrayfield will allow more of the squad to get some miles under their belt, but you can be sure we will meet our match at some point in the next six weeks. It would be better for all that Dresden expose as many weaknesses as possible (at the time of writing that doesn’t look likely).
As usual, the mantra for these occasions is: no injuries.
Legia Warsaw are on league duty this evening. I hope we have someone watching.

The challenge on Commons should have drawn a yellow, not that stupid supposed handball.
Should Kris have been playing given his importance?
Watt not playing at EK either,Atajic 2 and McMullen scorers,3-1 HT
H-T 1-0 to the Celts
Celtic playing good football in the heat. But Dynamo’s direct style has caused us problems, especially on Celtic’s left side.
KC off injured.
Craig Gordon has been good.
Celtic playing well against a decent looking team, but the injury to Commons a big concern.
Biton and Kayal combining well in midfield, but we have been left very exposed when they attack on the right.
Great Game.. Ah am enjoyin it. Dresden ur No Mugs.. that’s fur Sure.
Criticisms.. Fae Me?
No Many…only WAN..
McGeough,is Lettin us doon ..His Loose Passes..is No Nice.
Yes.. Ah wid Tak aff . McGeough..
He needs tae work oan his Passin.
Otherwise..He is Fine. but……….
Great game!

Relying on updates seems this Dresden side are playing some rough house stuff for a friendly
Twardzik has been out of position 5 or 6 times – wee McGregor not covering.
4-2-3-1 is more like 4-2-0-4!
Good game. Gordon has done very well, my stand out man of the half Callum McGregor, we could have a right one in this lad. Sad to see Kris getting the treatment in a friendly. I’d say his substitution was more precautionary, well I hope so anyway.
All the bother they are creating is from our left side of the team
Dinamo should be level ,but good game and plenty chances
for both sides .C G done well with the saves made and defence
Backed him up , especially AM . hopefully KC injury not serious
This has been a much harder match than our qualifier and we are doing well.
Great workout so far.
Wee reminder needed that Dresden are in Division Three, and Celtic need to tighten up at the back even with the fringe players included.
The Left Winger of Dresden
Wull Cause Trouble tae anybuddy..
He is a STOATER.. yes. Ah wish We could Get Him.. Dreams.
Young Twardzick ,is daeing his Best.. He is Over Matched though..
Kojo
RIGHT Winger of Dresden..Ah Shoulda Said
Sorry aboot that.. folks.

Twardik is not a left back this is an experiment we could do without he has been tried there before in that position and its not working
bsr,
Just shows the quality of German football
Twardzik and McGeough are not doing enough to impress here. This should be a big season for both of them. Dylan seems content to hug the right hand touchline. He should be looking for the ball more often. Twardzik looks lethargic and needs to be more alert to what’s going on around him. The defence have done well to keep a clean sheet with Gordon making some good early saves and others defending the 6 yard box well but Germans have missed a couple of sitters.
Pukki started well and set up KC’s goal but has faded. Biton and Kayal doing a good job in midfield and Efe and Virgil doing OK in defence. The Germans dominated in the last 10 – 15 minutes of the half and should have at least equalised. Hope Kris is not seriously injured but the German player kicked through his Achilles from behind. It looked sore.

Light years ahead, including stadia.
The analysis of some players just shows how we all see it so different.
For me oor number 33 is a liability.
Poor distribution goin forward, poor decision making on a regular basis,
and kamikaze when defending.Mon the Hoops
bsr,
Don’t mention the support
Biggest danger is the referree.
Has let some stuff go, but penalised us for invisible infringements.
Next danger is the lack of defensive cover for the left back.
Not too worried as it must alsobe obvious to the manager.
Concern over Commons. Hopefully it’s not a muscle pull or ligament.
Kris looks like the natural captain for Deila’s style, no disrespect to Scott Brown, who, perhaps more epitomised Lennon and Strachan’s philosophy.
Enjoyable game with some intelligent stuff coming from midfield.
Efe defends his six yard box well on the ground.
Keeper playing himself in and appears to be vocal with huns defence.
Safe standing areas will never catch on
Meant to say really enjoyin the gemme.
H.H.

To me…..yeah.
Big player for us and 1 thing that kinda annoyed me about Neil was when he gave the guys on the fringes game time…..without many of the big players and then we it was all a bit chaotic because there was not much of a foundation for the fringe players to establish themselves on.
In saying that though…….lots of guys playing together for the 1st time today!
Emergency!
Gotta go, joe

If the kris Achilles tackle was serious he would not have walked off
Just caught the last ten minutes how are we playing??
Roastin’ here the day I guess in Dresden too…
Craig Gordon lookalike also playing for Dresden
Oh dead.
*huns = his.
Freudian or whit!
Lot of changes for second half. See Derk, o’Connell, griffiths and more.
Charlie also on.
Gareth Bale referee in Dresden…
Derk looks lively. Wins foul.
This team still hacking away.
Derk & Izzy on as well. I think its an entirely different eleven.
Dirty Dresden..
Mon the Derk Bo
Good ball in from Charlie but Derk heads over. Lustig also on. Commentator is a bit slow.
Is that 11 changes?
