Oh well. Gutted, but – oh well.
Beaten fair and square by a very good side. Gladbach did to us what we love doing to other teams. They are better at it than us, at the minute.
Trying to look for positives. The main one is that we are immeasurably better than at this time last year (this time last year I was in Molde, refusing to believe what I was seeing), we have a top manager who has got us STARTING to play great football, and STARTING to turn us around.
We are about two inches up a long and steep learning curve. Just being in the CL group stages this time is a success. Being drawn in to the Group of Death was always going to be a sore one, and it is.
But let’s see where we are and how we play this time next year, when Brendan has his feet under the table properly.
I was concerned before the game at the levels of expectation that were eddying around – didn’t like seeing headlines (on CQN) about Sviatchenko “roaring” that BMG “should be afraid” (despite the fact he didn’t actually say that in the quotes) and “Let’s blow ’em away” from Nir, etc, and predictions of 3 and 4 nil to us.
I think Brendan has done wonders so far with what is basically Ronny Deila’s squad.
I am hoping that 12 months down the line we will be a lot closer to CL levels than we are now.
And anyway, gutted or not, I know wake up tomorrow still a Tim.
And that’s the main thing, when all is said and done.
Felt sick for big Kolo tonight, BTW
I was really impressed with Gladbach tonight. Yes, we were poor but technically and tactically they were far superior to us.
The pressing that we saw against Man City was almost non existent and that afforded them time and space which they utilised well.
Despite that it was two awful defensive errors which cost us the game. Big Kolo will be absolutely furious with himself right now but we need to remember that in spite of his class, these type of errors have permeated his career. His qualities make him a star in this Celtic side but against the quality of opposition we were up against tonight, his mistakes will probably be punished.
Head up big fella you’re still one of our best.
Some strange people.
Come along to a post mortem to crow.
Calton- you hope that is Kolos’ last game for us? Ye pished? He has been very good for us. He still has my support. He was man enough to be interviewed and put his hand up.
BM harried us out that game and we weren’t brave enough. KT early booking didn’t help either. He has my support also.
BR not slating players publically… he’ll get rewarded for that.
We just didn’t click tonight and a decent team were ruthless…on 2 occasions.
We move on.

You’re acting like a troll. Sober up or piss off.
Evening fholks from Albufeira
Despite 2 mistakes causing 2 goals, didn’t think we deserved anything from tonight IMO.
Let’s see what the next game brings!

A warm welcome to those supporters who only turn up when Celtic lose.
We’re really glad you’ve joined us…

No Celtic Euro magic tonight just a complete anti climax following the highs of a draw at home to Manchester, on a night when BMG even won the singing contest.
Good side they are and happily we don’t play German teams every year never mind every week, but most of our players gave a good account of themselves, especially Sviatchenko, Tierney, Brown, and Rogic. Could have been one game in sequence too many for Moussa Dembele with Leigh Griffiths breathing down his neck for the starting berth.
Scott Sinclair showed his human side when he should have put a superb diagonal pass from Tom Rogic away in the first half.
No failures including Kolo Toure who was immaculate in the first half and unluckily caught but still a class Celtic act. Nir Bitton’s game suffered against the better opponents, when he just doesn’t get his SPL slice of time to caress the ball.
With Rogic a spent force after 70 minutes, the January window came to mind as there was no one on the bench close to filling his boots .
M.OM Erik Sviatchenko
And let me be the first to say it.
I definitely think we can turn Man C over in the Etihad.

Just geez ur money and stop moaning.
Care of the Celtic board.
Why dont you just Fek right off.after tonight,you come on with that crap.GTF off the blog ya reptile.Other ass lickers may put up with you but I wont.Just GTF.
Harsh reality check tonight. BM were exceptional in everything they did and got their tactics spot on. I thought their no13 Stindl was a wonderful player. On the plus side i thought Sviatchenko had a good game and Roberts did well when he came on. We wouldn’t be in the CL if it wasn’t for Kolo so it’s hard to be too harsh on him. We just need to suck it up and learn. The gulf in class between domestic football and European is bigger than ever and it’s only going to get wider.

‘happily we don’t play German teams every year never mind every week,’
##
If we played German sides every week we’d be a better team.
Mind you, we’d also be German team, which might get a bit confusing.
HT really?
All th coring about how fab we are. It was hunlike in the extreme. But dissent isn’t allowed.
Astonishing for a member of the CT.

I’m going to disagree mate I thought Brown was poor tonight.
I do agree about Rogic’s pass to Sinclair, it was exquisite. If only it had been on his right foot.
German team at the weekend.
Were not ready yet to compete with the calibre of teams in our section . We could do with another 5 scott browns though .
Turkeybhoy.
Showing your errrmmm.
Class.
I was surprised that so many thought a class German side would be spooked by a crowd.BMG played like they always play -press the opposition and play pass at move at pace when they have the ball.Celtic were outclassed and outplayed in midfield .Better team with better players won .That’s the way it often is.
Almore…
I gave up on the ipad a couple of weeks ago trying to get on cqn, why I haven’t been posting.
We just got beat by a better team tonight.
Give Brendan time and a few quid for a real midfielder that can tackle hard and splay forward passes about, I’m sure that will be on his agenda.
P’s , I wouldn’t have Bitton in our team.
He seemed lacklustre as he does in most games.
I know he was just back from injury, Ach, ye get my point.HH
Priority for next season is a new keeper.
just in from game,haven’t read back but i thought we were well and truly gubbed tonight, a few of our players returned to earth with a bump , second best all round.

No complaints really about the score,but the guys you mentioned were the worst on the park 1st half when they should have scored 3 at least.Opinions are everything I suppose,but I think yours are wrong.
Their fans were class, respect.
Some things never change!
A negative result and the knitting Tricoteuses makes her usual timely mawkish appearance.
Evening all.
Just back from pub in Carihuela after what was otherwise a great day.
An off night plain and simple. Keep the faith, dust ourselves down and forget about it.
BTW – the BBC football website ticker tape had the following comment at the second goal
“Going to be difficult for Brendan Rogers to spin”
The editor’s name is Mike Henson.
This piece may have been inserted by one of many rangers lovers at BBC sport Scotland.
If not then Mike – you’ve made some new enemies tonight.

An extremely poor post.
In my opinion your posts don’t reflect dissent, they’re coming across as almost gloating.
The members of the Trust that I know will be hurting badly just now. I’m sorry but from your posts I just get more than a hint of someone who’s using tonight’s result to attack Celtic.
If you think that’s what the Trust are about you’re very wrong.
Ernie
I know what I meant ☺️
HT
He maybe wasn’t so good on TV? ☺️
Despite the loss, it is nice to see a fair bit of realism tonight.
Roll on Sunday.
Hello this is a muchly unhappy WEE BGFC. Well crap

Turkeybhoy.

Class.
Nope just showing you up for the Ghoul you are.Every time we get beat you are on with your jibes at the board.When we win,we dont hear from you.As i said,and I will reiterate,GTF off the blog.
BBC …………………a defeat that sends Celtic to the ‘very’ bottom of the group.
BSR
Ouch, to be fair I don’t miss many.
To be honest it wasn’t just Brown, I thought our entire team struggled with their pace and movement.
Hey, it’s Celtic I wouldn’t be surprised to see us go there and take something from the game.
When you are well beaten by a superior side on the night there really is not a lot to be said.
So I won’t.
HT
Well you did say you hated it, and it’s normally the other way round.
Turkeybhoy
Opinions are debatable, Celtic players are what they are.
Sipsini: The number of posts lately have been really low, even tonight. I don’t think it is down to the content. I think it is more got to do with accessibility. I am glad P67/WC have done something about it but it is disappointing to lose several contributors, including one of my favourites – Corkcelt.
Hamiltontim. tjose who run Celtic continue to take us for mugs. An unusual result against man city isn’t enuff.
We are worse than hunlike now on CQN. No dissent or questioning is allowed. Turkeybhoy is a great example. Like a pathetic toothless Rottweiler he wants to attack.
hat support have the Celtic board given you in regards to the OBFAC?
That is BMG best game of the season.We were so unlucky it came against us when we were poor.They did not let us get near them with our high pressing game,which went to hell when we saw it was not working.
I am not too down,as this was a massive learning curve.We know what we need.BR will get in who he thinks will do the job.This was a “Get the cash “job.Man City only done marginally better than us against Barca,penalty miss,so no gloating from England.Next year we will see.

Message for the BBC…..Rangers are not only dead, they are VERY dead.
