That pass from Tom Rogic, that’s the reason he is there. Yes, I know he does not get up and down the field as much as most other central mids, I hear you, we need to consider him an impact player, but not for the first time in his Celtic career, he made all the difference to the outcome of the game.
Jota’s first touch at the opening goal was worthy of the ball from Rogic. It would not have escpated your notice that it was a Kyogo tackle inside his own half that won the ball back for this move. No, I don’t remember Eddie doing this either. With players of this calibre, we will score a lot of goals and win a lot of games. The sublime shot from David Turnbull underscores what he is capable of. Don’t even waste time talking about the double handball inside the box: a foul to Celtic, or play on.
Six points adrift at kick off, winning a lot of games would not necessarily be enough. We need Newco to struggle for form and points. Fortunately, Newco look like an aging boxer slogging it out in one fight too many.
After the late winner at Pitodrie two weeks ago, I wrote, “When Jota got on the end of that cross, the season pivoted.” We were seven minutes from going eight points behind before that huge goal. What Celtic did not do last season was put pressure on Newco at any point in the season. Now, with more players coming back every week and fitness improving, pressure is being applied and the gap is down to four points. Momentum is with Celtic, we all know it’s true!
Anyway, that pass from Rogic……….. can you imagine being able to play like that?

You did like good in that bunnet
Tom Rogic in full spate is a wonderfully creative player.
But surely ‘mercurial’ would honestly describe his time with us, as it would with our former Greek God Sammy?
Watching EPL over past weeks, I’m more convinced than ever that John McGinn is THE complete midfielder: Creative in the pass, consistent in energy, robust in a tussle and quite cheeky with goal assists and ideas.
The other midfielder who’d look great in the hoops is Burnley’s Dwight McNeil; lovely feet.
Lovely to hear Ange, mate, wax about Puskas when he came to Melbourne; the most sporting city in the world. HH

Delighted that a couple of my sons pals ( one Irish and one Italian ) get to experience Celtic Park for the first time tomorrow. And in a European tie as well.
Pity about the pathetic and totally unnecessary passport obligations being imposed on the club and those attending.
If this stuff were in a George Orwell novel, or even supposedly happening in some totalitarian state I probably wouldn’t believe it.
Incredibly it is happening in 2021 Scotland and folk who are otherwise cynical about media manipulation seem to simply accept this fueled by the greatest weapon of all ….. fear ! …..State controlled fear.

Good morning all from a dark and wet Garngad
Game day where we get to see our beloved Hoops again.
A win would be great to keep momentum going and I think we will get it.
Right work to do if I want to come away early to watch the game.

Which Orwell novel would that be, Coming Up For Air perhaps? Written in Morocco where Orwell had gone in the hope that the climate would help with the chronic chest problems that afflicted him and would eventually kill him at the age of forty six.
Maybe not.
More likely 1984, written whilst Orwell was dying of TB, the effects of which contributed to the dystopian and melancholy nature of the book.

I’d suggest that Orwell would have nothing but contempt for the ignorant, childish and self indulgent prattle from you and those like you.

Good man you are for spinning that one.
Postecoglou Postecoglou rise up and be strong,
The morning is here and there’s work to be done.
Pick your Rogic and Turnbull, with the bould CalMac in
For to play in Kyogo, who’ll bring us our win.

Good luck to the Celts today. I’m not a random, I’m a specific, mate. Ask somebody else.

In this case I agree with him, but he really is an obnoxious self important arrogant twat. Did I go over the top there?.
I really don’t get the abuse of people on the internet that you have never met and wouldn’t do face to face.
No matter the topic hiding on the internet whilst abusing folks is childish IMO, I would happily abuse Ernie, JHB and Wishaw tim face to face :-)
HOT SMOKED
Apparently Bolingoli isn’t listed in the Europa squad
A very Hoopy Happy Anniversary to CELTIC FC as its 64 years to the day when Celtic destroyed the Huns in the League Cup Final…” Happy 7-1 Day”.
My God, I was exactly I Year and 10 months old on that Day in October 1957.
I would love to say that I was there, but I wasnt as my Dad didnt take me.
Good luck to the Bhoys wearing the Hoops Today in this afternoons EL game and another scoreline of 7-1 to the Celts would be most welcome ?
LOL.
After the disaster of Raid Vienna in 1984…didnt UEFA order Celtic to play any European game ” Being Behind Closed Doors” one afternoon, as part of the further undeserved ” Punishment ” ?
I seem to remember an afternoon Kick Off against a Spanish Club…again I could be wrong about where the opposition came from…and we Lost that game behind closed doors ?
UEFA went way OVER The Top with the punishment to Celtic after the cheating by Rapid Vienna.

HOT SMOKED
Only 10 there.

Athletico as I remember Jimmy.
Athletic Madrid was a day time KO if my memory serves me
I meant to add that the ” Behind Closed Game” was at Celtic Park in our very next European game AFTER getting beat by Rapid Vienna in Manchester.
I like thousands of others travelled to Manchester in 1984, apart from Celtic getting beat, I ripped the erse out of my new suit trousers when jumping up as Roy Aitken hit the Post at ” 0-0″, and I manged to lose my false teeth in the stands also, but I later found them a row or two down from my seat a short time later.
Me and my mates couldnt get anywhere open to have some Beers before and after the game…so no drink either !
I had also taken Two Days off work ( Unpaid leave).
Overall, I very disappointing experience that I have tried to forget
I am a Chump for reminding myself of that horrible ” Game”.
HH.
Cheers TIMMY7 and MORAVCIK
HH Bhoys.
I think we lost 2-0 or 2-1 against Athletico that afternoon…again I could be wrong with the scoreline ?

I think you forgot Starfelt or mibbe you think we don’t need him. 😄👍

We managed to get an afternoon lock-in in a Manchester
Video juke boxes were all the new rage at the time.

I don’t remember much of the game having arrived in Manchester at breakfast time and not seeing anything apart from the inside of pubs.
Also travelled down to Manchester to the Rapid Game. Lingering memory is of the train ride home. Must have been minus 5 in the carriage, guys actually tried to light a fire! Took what seemed about ten hours to get back…..
