    Disappointing result after a very dominant first half. One defensive error cost us a win tonight, coupled with a lacklustre performance from the front men. Failed to capitalise on an extra man advantage from 60 minutes onwards. Broonie strolled through the game, in control, and Ntcham was composed in every thing he did. Odsonne looked a bit off the pace. mcGregor had a great first half, but faded after being moved to right after Rogic substitution.

     

    Next week will be very difficult now. Obviously, have to score at least one, but we might have more clear chances if we have the chance to hit them on the break.

     

    KT MOTM. Never in doubt.

    I thought the Greeks were well worthy of their point. Scored an away goal and defend very well when reduced to 10 men. If anything I would question our lack of creative idea to break down a well organised defense.

  5. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    We are not out but we are in big bother the Greeks gave a lesson in defending.Jack Hendry is definately to raw to be a first team player we needed to get to the bye line and get behind there defence but we failed to do that and played in front of there defence. I cannot see where we can catch them out in the away leg a 0-0 will suit them just fine.However,we have to get past Hearts on Saturday first and there is no guarantee we will do that. H.H.

    pretty much what I expected after a desperate week of psychological negativity , all starting from BR telling the media how the team is weaker, we need better players, etc…. not ideal nor relevant leading up to a match of this importance.

     

     

    We have no guile and no areal threat – both needed to break down defenses.

     

     

    Disappointed in everything Celtic this week – we can still do it next week but I don’t think the board really cares!

    Sorry to say we are out

     

    Tonight was quite pathetic- not because we didn’t sign McGinn but because we were one dimensional- this is why we drew at home last season – no way round an adequate bus – this was St Johnstone revisited

     

     

    One of our worst Euro performances- if I was Kieran I might think about joining a team where there are ten others on my side

     

     

    Once again sorry but in over 50 years that was the worst – not the result but the shape,attitude,thought,skill and anything else you care to mention

     

     

    Sorely disappointed

     

     

    Anyway we’ll hammer them over there!

  10. THE EXILED TIM on

    Had we had a decent result tonight Boyatta wouldn’t be sold, he will go now I reckon.

     

    Pedro has gamble for years now at qualification, it wilny work this year, one times too many.

     

    Who do we get in the euro league qualifier then ?

  11. Alasdair MacLean on

    Greece won Euro 2004 playing like that. Even the best can be beaten by anti-football. The phrase hadn’t been invented then…..but it was perfect for them.

  13. Dexter P. Bampot on

    This is an Athens team who haven’t started their season. After 1st goal our tempo dropped. This was the crucial time. They were there for the taking.

     

     

    As game went on they got defensively more confident andit became clear fairly soon that we wouldnt score.

     

     

    As things stand, the KT/SS axis is dead. KT/CMG is FAR more productive.

  14. Maradominic on

    no point buying anyone now…sell Boyata and probably Dembele…get players on loan… “Difficult to get players to come…etc” We strughgled to qualify last 2 years …have a weaker squad this year. With Boyata and Lustig back late from WC and MD injured. Always going to struggle.. And crowd wss flat. Needed a lift with some decent improvemnets in squad.. So barring a miracle its sunday games for a few months..

  15. CaltonTongues on

    Europa League (Boring) here we come – Let’s see if this gets deleted – honest won’t post a jobby emoji…

     

     

    Right, I’ve always hated Europe since they closed shopped it, and all you ‘We will be judged in Europe’ idiots.

     

     

    Go visit a shrink – We are never, ever, going to do anything in Europe AGAIN!…

     

     

    Bring on 10 in a row – that’s what I spend my money on (Not at CP – still bhoycotting till they call out the same club crime).

     

     

    Now, where’s my Emojis :-))

  19. Clink\o/ on

    Too many towel throwers on here. How about waiting for the tie to finish before all the doom and gloom. If we had won tonight what would the verdict have been. That we were through? Don’t think so. It’s only half time FFS

  21. Tippbhoy on

    they held their shape very well and looked good on the ball when they moved forward.

     

    it will be difficult over there BUT we can dream.

     

     

    If not , sell Boyata and Simunovic, and get 2 steady CHs for the Europa League …one old head please.

     

     

    Sinclair, why oh why , does he always cut inside…the one time he went for the byeline he left their guy for dead…we need him to do that. If not he is not worth a shirt…he actually reduced our threat by KT dropping deeper.

  23. Celtic Champs Elect on

    Celtic will qualify of that there is no doubt

     

     

    They the Greeks are a pub team and hung on for 90 minutes

     

     

    We will score 2 or 3 over in Athens

  24. Ray Singh-Carr on

    One question….has SS forgotten how to get to the byeline? He was at his most effective when he varied his attacks like that. Now he almost always cuts back inside and is very predictable. He needs to be rested a bit more IMHO.

  25. Hunderbirds are Gone on

    The goal we conceded illustrated well, the fact that our two central defenders have less than four years professional playing experience between them.

     

    I still cannot believe that we didn’t sign Blanche Carter.

    No points were awarded tonight.

     

     

    We’re not in the group stage yet, and might never be.

     

     

    EL possibly.

     

     

    HH!!

  29. CaltonTongues on

    Clinko,

     

     

    They will pressurise us at the end of the field were we struggle to get out of as opposed to sitting in like tonight.

     

     

    Hope I’m wrong but, can see the obligatory 0-3 :-(((

  31. Malone Bhoy on

    It’s not towel throwing but a realisation that we are poor away from home in Europe, just look at the performance against a poor Rosenburg. We may have stopped them creating but barely got involved in the game. And the fact we need to score makes the odds stacked against us.

  32. The hands cant hit what the eyes cant see on

    We looked bereft of creativity. I can’t say I fancy us to go through now. After all, if we can’t beat them at home, when it’s their first game of the season, when they are missing their captain and star CB and when they play for 1/3 of the game with 10 men, then I can’t see us going to Greece and getting a result

  34. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    I have to echo Stebhoy’s comments.

     

     

    At this level games are won and lost on very fine margins.

     

     

    I’m left wondering if the discord at senior management level (brought in to the public domain by the manager), which has now spread amongst the support served as a constructive backdrop for such an important game.

  35. 16 roads. on

    Defeatist mentality proliferating.

     

     

    We are Celtic.

     

     

    Write us off at your peril.

     

     

    HH. ?

  37. 67 European Cup Winners on

    I feel for Brendan he has had to play 5 CL games with a team weaker than last year

     

    How many times have we failed to strengthen from a position of strength

     

     

     

    The tie is not over but from tonight’s evidence I think we are in for a tough night in Athens

     

     

    I thought their goal was poor from us Lustig got outran the AEK player was just looking to get it across our box Ajer let it go and bang

    I think people are being realistic and dissecting the game they witnessed tonight.

     

     

    We will all will Celtic on next Tuesday, but things don’t look good.

  41. Celtic Champs Elect on

    Moussa back next week to partner Eddy both to score

     

     

    Any of the negative clowns on here like to get yer dosh out and have a bet who will qualify
