  1. TEAM: Sinisalo; Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney; Nygren, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Baur; Hassan, Duran, Yang. Subs: Doohan, Trusty, McCowan, Tounekti, Osmand, Kenny, Murray, Forrest and Kennedy.

  2. The bench is just ridiculously poor.

     

     

    We’ll finish this game with Ralston at RB, Murray and Trusty as CBs and Scales at LB.

     

     

    McCowan could come on for Chamberlain with either Osmand or Kenny on for Duran.

     

     

    So if we’re chasing a goal late, we’re in trouble.

    You were so keen to criticise that you didn’t even look to see if Ralston was in the squad, or to find out what position Kennedy plays.

    ” We have a constituency of supporters who oscillate between barely tolerant when we win and pure ragin’ when we don’t.” `

     

     

    I sense a wee bit of humour there but, nevertheless, I feel it is an accurate observation.

    Glad to see Trusty dropped after his latest wimp out on Tuesday. CalMac and Hogh both missing. At least we’ve got a strong squad to fall back on…

  8. Clearly the Board have superior approach to football tactics than mere fans. Second game into the league season and we’re fielding a team and bench no one would have anticipated. 🫣

    No mate. Because neither of these things alter my point – the bench is poor.

  11. While developing through the Celtic academy, Kennedy continued to play several hours a week of futsal. He credits this with giving him the close control skills and ability to receive the ball in tight areas and make quick decisions.

     

     

    Good luck to him if he gets his chance

  12. Had to look on club website to see who Kennedy is and what position he plays.

     

     

    I couldn’t find him listed in either 1st team or B team squads.

     

     

    That bench must be a MON statement to the board re squad depth….

    i’d be delighted to see some of our youngsters come through and make the grade .

     

    Apart from anything else , it seems like the only way we’re going to up the talent level in the squad if we’re not going to buy it in .

  15. Even with an unusual bench, let’s not forget the total value of Falkirk’s playing squad is circa €5.85m

    Totally agree. Perfect opportunity for our young fringe players, but patience is required

     

     

    HH.

  17. Having just watched a disappointing 0-0 with Vale and Crewe I’m hoping that Celtic brighten my afternoon with a win.

  19. Hoping for a good performance and win today to lift the spirits. Still reeling from midweek.

     

     

    Thought Trusty was one who stuck to it Tuesday and should have started. Donovan, Tierney, Hogh and CCV all crumbled under the intensity of the game and would not have been surprised if they had been rested. Lot’s of work to do and it needs to start with a convincing win today.

     

     

    Good luck Bhoys. 3-0 will be fine.

    “Maybe we might not have been equipped to play in the Champions League” says Martin. Why not?

  21. Call me Gerry – Liam was in the pre season senior squad and got on against Shelbourne and Sporting Lisbon.

  23. Trusty was as weak as piss and lost the ball on the touchline that caused the second goal, not for the first time either.

    Liam Kennedy is a great talent….hope he gets a chance today. H H

     

     

    *abut abut abut he’s too young wtf, whit age were Bobby Murdoch, Derek White, Paul McStay and Charlie Nick when they made the breakthrough or for that matter Duncan Edwards, as my da used tae say if your good enough your old enough.

  25. That bench is a disgrace.No idea how any person who calls himself a CEO,can take his seat today.We have had 3 days to improve this squad after that disaster.All we have done so far is lose the good players we spent weeks chasing.Nicholson could walk up and kick a good few on here right in the toy dolls,and they would still doff 5hr cap.

  27. CalMac sick. Hogh carrying a knock so gets rested.

     

     

    No reason offered nor any questions asked on Hatate’s absence by Celtic TV…
