Having successfully subjugated in-form Motherwell by the opening minutes of the second half, all it took was a deflected shot that looped over Scott Bain to shatter composure and reduce Celtic to a side clinging on and ultimately fortunate to stop an equaliser in the final seconds.
Within minutes of that Motherwell goal, Neil Lennon replaced Albian Ajeti with Leigh Griffiths, Greg Taylor with Diego Laxalt and Scott Brown with Ismailia Soro, which should have injected fresh energy into the side, but seemed only to add indecision. Mohamed Elyounoussi replaced David Turnbull, which like the earlier substitutions, was a like-for-like swap, expected to halt Motherwell’s momentum. Far from it.
An apparent urgency to get the ball forward saw possession carelessly surrendered. Without a reliable Out Ball, Celtic finished the game in a rear-guard action that only encouraged Motherwell to pour forward.
A second win on the bounce is a vast improvement over recent form, still, that disorganised look remains. The league is gone but there are still things to achieve this season.

Goin to watch this Leeds game,to watch one of the world’s top managers,try and get his team to defend properly.Great to watch going forward,but,in spite of the coaching,not improving defence wise.
We are not alone,no matter what some will tell you.

” If Davie Hay wants to bring those players to Celtic then he will have to pay for them himself! ”
Celtic Chairman
Jack McGinn 1986
*****************************
The quotation is memorable and, yes, it was from a Board member but I don’t think it was Jack McGinn’s.
No more old Celtic players anywhere near the new modern coaching and management setup.

*I don’t know jack but I know plenty that do and he was well liked, it was Jock BTW that brought him tae Parkheid tae start a paper that didnae spin any more “fake news”.
He’s no a Dumbartonian but married one and lived across the road fae St Michael’s and had a newsagent at the bottom of Brucehill.
He once questioned an acquaintance of mine over buying the Sunday Post as he told him it was non-union and had the same hiring practices as a certain team in the south side of the Clyde.
If Jack did say that I was led tae believe he was being flippant in saying the board widnae sanction any more transfers and if Davie wanted more players he would probably have tae buy them himself.

I dont know if you know but Jack had a terrible accident a couple of years ago, when a car reversed over him.
I was out of action at the time and didnt know, his bhoy only told me during the summer there.
He is still in the same house by the way.
a wee aside, a distraction, just because it is a brilliant image

In the early 1950s Paul Strand spent six weeks in the rural northern Italian town of Luzzara, located on the Po River. He traveled the countryside with local townsman Valentino Lusetti, whose family Strand photographed arranged across the front of their family home. This group portrait includes Valentino’s widowed mother Anna, standing with a solemn expression in the darkened doorway, and four of his brothers: Bruno, Guerrino, Afro, and Nino, none of whom look directly at the camera.
The circle and spokes of the bicycle wheel are repeated in the semi-circular paned window above the door and in the half-circle shape seen through the door above Anna’s left shoulder, serving as a unifying element of the composition. In 1955 Strand published a book of photographs he made in Luzzara, Un paese(A Village).

Davy Hay wanted to bring Pat Nevin and Joe McLaughlin to Celtic,and Jack McGinn made the comment,David Hay reading it in a newspaper.
Davie Hay not Davy.
John Collins was a good for Celtic,I’m sure the problem he had with some players at Hibernian and Celtic was his attitude towards players fitness, at Hibs Michael Stewart was always complaining about Collins being to hard on some players, he Stewart saying if he was chocolate he would love himself ,nothing wrong with that,as a lot on here saying the players don’t look fit ,well bring back John Collins to sort there fitness out ,could they hack it ,or would they go running to Petrie to say they he is to hard on them,The players won John Collins was only doing his job ,and for that he got sacked,That’s what should have happened to Griffith’s at the start of this season,but him being a top goalscorer ,that’s what kept him at Celtic.also Lennon couldn’t live with John Collins getting fit ,he is another one who is overweight.

Thanks TT on Jack McGinn’s background. I’d associated him with the Celtic View originally. I know his son vaguely – a thoroughly decent man.
The person who said that about David Hay was a director – something of a seldom seen kid whom I can picture but I can’t remember the name. I am very old.
Just another sign of getting old….commentator on Leeds game says a player had a head like a 50p piece when he headed the ball wide.
In my day it was “a heid like a thr’penny bit”

I took the quote attributed to him, in CelticWiki.
He was the Celtic View editor and later the Chairman as well as high office in the SFA
Another more controversial quote was when he is credited with first referring to Celtic supporters as
‘ malcontents ‘ .
He knew them so well CSC
