    A comfortable performance from us today . You’d forgive our players from holding a bit back for the midweek game there were quite a few playing within themselves.

     

     

    We haven’t played a single decent team since December last season. Hearts should be a proper test before Wednesday night but we’re so much better than everyone else in Scotland I hope we don’t get shocked by a team of a far better standard than what we’re used to. I’m sure Brendan will be mindful of this and have team prepared but it we’ll see a step change in quality even against the poorest team we’ll face so I hope there’s no complacency.

    The invaders are being paid in”EBT’s” from yon Kalergi guy.

    $14,000+ in food money.

     

     

    Celtic fans + the PLC are good at ‘covering up ‘EBT’ crimes.

     

     

    No wonder the 60,000 empty heads are cheering on their replacements.

     

     

    Lock up your cats and dogs and rabbits and parrots and snakes.

    The huns have won 2 out of their last 15 games in all competitions. Dundee Utd have to be a good bet at 5/1 at home.

    Agree 100%. we have to hope that we are more clinical against the better opposition we will face in the champions league. I love Kyogo but he gas a problem with one on ones with any keeper. He gas missed at least 4 this season.

     

    i am not a fan of Liam Scales but he has performed well against the SPL dross we have faced this season. CCV could play these games in his slippers. He is not being tested.

     

    Hopefully BR will have them well

     

    up for Wednesday night.

  7. !!Bada Bing!! on

    Scales outstanding, CCV not far behind, passing was slack for me,Engels has a lovely first touch, plays with his head up,a great 3 points when not at our best.

    Expected win today but not with the fluency of late. Nonetheless we had overwhelming control and could have scored more.

     

     

    Good scoring introductions for Arne & Luke with Adam unlucky with his ‘goal’. Brendan will be happy with this pre-CL workout.

    I applaud UEFA for their initiative and the EU for its ‘specificity of sport’ definition. The uber-rich clubs don’t like it and it may just bring a breakaway Super League that bit closer.

     

     

    I admit that I’m not across every line and paragraph of regulations – I like to keep it simple and use the term ‘financial doping’. The Ibrox club used it to sign players they otherwise couldn’t have ordinarily afforded, and gained honours to which they were not entitled. So we have seen it close up, albeit on a smaller scale.

     

     

    Celtic and Peter Lawwell have had significant involvement although some will not want to acknowledge it.

  9. GuyFawkesaforeverhero on

    Enjoyed a tough win today.

     

     

    Our players’ commitment to bringing home the points leaves me feeling privileged to be there at the ground to applaud their efforts.

     

     

    Scottish football’s last idea to derail us is home fans only in barely half full stadiums, all around the country. It won’t work any better than any of their previous cunning ideas.

    “ Expected win today but not with the fluency of late”

     

     

    Darwin .. you do realise it was our 5th league of the season after an international break with 2 new signings scoring their first goals in the hoops ….

     

     

    don’t get the fluency of late patter :-)

    BRRB & co are very good company ..

     

     

    It’s even better disagreeing all things Celtic face to face :-)

     

     

    The only thing nobody argues about is getting a round in :-)

  13. Burnley78 on

    Slovan got a really good last minute win in their big match away from he tonight. Their opponents missed a 100th minute penalty into the bargain. They will come in really high spirits as they are back on top domestically and have won 4 tough ties to reach the CL.

     

     

    Fun fact

     

     

    They won the ECwC in 69.

    Rangers Chairman and acting CEO is resigning due to abuse from their “Supporters”.

     

     

    Just as well our Chairman is made of sterner stuff and has a thick skin

    Not taking anything for granted but we need to beating teams like Bratislava at Celtic park …

     

     

    Funnily enough they have enjoyed both Ange & Brendan in the last two seasons (Athletico Madrid away not included) … I want us to do better in Europe but delighted if we keep winning domestically

    The ignorants could not accept the need for life in the slow lane as MON famously called it.

     

     

    I am so glad our leaders stuck to our plan and got us to where we ended up. Even although we had the petulance of Sutton and laziness of Hartson and Thompson. The pathetic booing of Telfer, the derision of WGS as we lost st home to Motherwell.

     

     

    Anyone suggesting their fans are worse than ours for abusing those tasked to deliver their club financially sustainable success need only take a look at the way our own support behave in social media and indeed in person.

  19. GFTB on

    That should read … “I have enjoyed the last two seasons in Europe, I think we have competed in every game apart from Ath Madrid away

  20. Celtic Mac on

    Mentioned it before but participating in the new CL format is about more than just the money. UEFA made a good decision when it granted the BBC the CL MOTD highlights package first up on Wed Sept 18 10.40 BBC1.

     

    Some may have noticed the Beeb already promoting the show with Celtic in the famous green n white hoops featuring prominently. If we peform well in games we will get the added bonus of BBC wide coverage. Does help that we have one of the most distinctive and recognisable strips, and that we are in with four EPL teams. If a player or a team (or its supporters) wants to boost its visibility this is the opportuniy to seize.

     

    Weather really does look good in Glasgow on Wednesday, we are getting closer to being a decent European team again, certainly at home, so lets seize the moment, Falkirk can wait, Europe wont.

    Your knowledge of the Slovak game must be greater than mine sir.

     

     

    I saw a national team from there take England to 1 minute from elimination in the euro last 16.

     

     

    I see a team who beat the danish champions. You maybe right but this will be a step up from Amy domestic challenge. Despite our fans confidence imo.

    Although you do need a certain sort of mentality to be a public face of one of the two big Glasgow clubs I would imagine years of trophies and excellent financial performance helps you sleep at night.

     

     

    I hope John Bennets health problems aren’t serious, you can understand him not wanting to spend any more time in that toxic environment if he’s unwell. They’ve probably not bottomed out yet either, our accounts are due any day and he’ll he’d have a lipstick on pig job to do with the chairman’s statement on theirs

     

     

    There doesn’t seem to be anyone there willing to carry the can anymore which makes you wonder how bad it really is

    ———

     

    Of course you are correct – it is early in the season, the fifth game. Two new signings getting first goals is positive – I think I said that.

     

     

    However our play was not as fluent as in games 1-4, that’s my opinion (patter). HH

  24. GFTB on

    Darwin 11.22pm

     

     

    I do get that … scoring goals and not losing goals (domestically) should surely be a positive

     

     

    Burnley78 11.12pm

     

     

    I can assure you I am or dismissing the Slovaks (Lubo) but what I am thinking is we have had more difficult draws in the CL so hopefully we can start making Celtic Park the fortress than Martin made it … although we won’t have Lennon & Lambert protecting Mjallby, Valgaren, Bobo… this Celtic team don’t do protection :-) … and am not complaining about that

     

     

    Not one negative in my Celtic life 100% happy clapper and will never change 🍀

  25. celtic40me on

    I think terms like “broken” are much over used used these days, and they’re a bit away from the mess they were in in 2012 but this does look pretty bleak. Maybe we have broken them.

     

     

    It’s a long way back from where they are now, they have no chairman, chief executive, director of football. The guy from St Mirren turned them down. They’ve run out of Rangers-minded psychopaths.

     

     

    While we squabble about cash piles and paying taxes on profits they’ll be looking around for the next rangers-minded psychopath and soothing themselves with thoughts of billionaire takeovers to make them happy from one day to the next

    I take you at face value … always responded to me in a Celtic way so good enough for me :-)

    Good morning all from Govanhill. I may have to celebrate on this beautiful Sunday. Be rude not to. 😉👍🍻

    Good morning from a grey and windy North Wales.

     

    Great day all round yesterday with Celtic and Vale both winning.

     

    There are no easy games in Europe any more, but we need to confirm our progression as a team by winning on Wednesday.

     

     

    Let’s see what DU can do later today.

  31. Chairbhoy on

    Good Morning Celts…

     

     

    Well, a hard fought for three points against a tough, resilient Hearts side.

     

     

    Not the smoothest we’ve played this season, no shifting through the gears, think all the players had their moments but definitely a lack of consistency through the game.

     

     

    Of course below par Kyogo would normally have had us ahead in the first half.

     

     

    Midfield looking good, Reo below par but Bernardo and McCowan came in and looked good.

     

     

    Shame Idah’s goal was chalked off, the big man looked more assured and three nil wouldn’t have flattered us.

     

     

    Tough to pick three but Engels has a tough ask to replace Matt O’Riley and thats not going to be instant, yet the bhoy looked different class and has it all, looks so composed for a twenty year old – great penalty.

     

     

    Kuhn, not at his best with the final ball but he offers so much, stepped up in the second half when we needed to put real pressure on Hearts.

     

     

    The defence certainly needs a mention, a solid performance and Schmeichel, CCV or Liam could get the nod, yet Kasper gets it – some good saves that insured the three points and a real presence with excellent distribution.

     

     

    So winging it’s way to SENCELPOTY@GMAIL.COM

     

     

    1. Engels

     

     

    2. KUHN

     

     

    3. Schmeichel

     

     

    Onwards to Wednesday and fortress Parkhead will be needed…

  33. David66 on

    Good morning all a great 3 points.

     

     

    Jeez reading back was like a late night Lawwell love in.

     

     

    I forgot he alone won all those trophy’s. Silly me.

     

     

    Not a penny spent (money in money out) in the transfer window again but let’s airbrush that out.

     

     

    How long does it take to sort out GT contract? The guy has done well enough to deserve a decent contract.

     

     

    Let’s gauge how far we have come in Europe now.

     

     

    D. :)

  35. Burnley78 on

    GFTB

     

     

    Fair point re ‘we have had harder draws’. I am very aware how ‘up for this’ they will be. One of their chances of points and their first game ever in CL proper. They have a proud history (albeit some time ago) and recent Slovak inferiority complex has been banished with a strong Euros.

     

     

    Slovan Bratislava have won 4 ties to get to play us inc beating danish champions. They are not here to make up the numbers. They are back top again domestically after a resilient win last night.

     

     

    I think we are agreeing but I guess talk amongst folks yesterday at the game was that they were of a Hearts standard are way off the mark.

     

     

    I do think it will be a tough game. It is winnable though. The arrogant types who dismiss and just say ‘we should beat teams like this’ don’t help imo. We should be able to beat teams like this though and we are able to. Let’s hope we do. Of so we really can go on to a special season based on solos foundations.

    I use duck duck go now. Still get logged out now and again but it’s no bother logging in again.

     

     

    In the past with login issues , I only use an iPhone for CQN, I would ignore the automatic input of my username and manually put in my username and password then tick the keep me logged in box.

     

     

    After logging in it would automatically take you to the first page, I would then click on the page I was on but more often than not I was logged out again, a simple refresh of the page resolved it.

     

     

    I’m sure someone else could explain more easily but hope it helps, I’ve noticed a few others have had problems.

    David 66

     

     

    Do you really think no one has GT contract on a prioritised to do list ?

     

     

    It is great that we have such solid foundations for success to build on. I love it.

     

     

    The abuse the John Bennet took at rangers this past few months for trying to put a strategy in place similar to ours in 2004 shows how tough a path we have walked.

     

     

    Some of their types seem fixated with short term success and abusing nasty bad men in suits. It sums them up really.

     

     

    Entitled sad folk with not much else in their worlds. Would you not agree.

  41. An Tearmann on

    Morning Celts

     

    Good day at the match yesterday,signed in for the Kano foundation bucket collection,what a generous lot you Celts are,fantastic to see first hand and great to accompany Almore at our pitch.

     

    Onto game,we were not as fluid as pre break,was surprised to see Paulo benched for Arne Engels to make his scoring debut,

     

    Hearts played their usual stifle game with 2 banks of 5 across the back meaning the more we pressed forward the more compact they became.

     

    I thought Brendans mantra of what we do when not in possession was not fully implemented,some of our passing was not as sharp as before,improvements and more concentration needed for the leap up in standards to Slovan game.

     

    Mr Schmeichel well done on your 3 saves

     

    Well done Arne and Luke on your goals

     

    Brendan will know what to work on for Slovan Bratislava game,always work to be done with Celtic

     

     

    HH

  42. TinyTim on

    Burnley78

     

     

    It will be a good achievement if we can manage to beat Slovan Bratislava.

     

     

    We should not underestimate them .

     

    Should we not manage a win then any criticism of Celtic should be tempered with the acknowledgment that all of the teams in theCL will provide stiff competition.

     

     

    That being said .

     

    We are at home and will have marvellous backing .

     

     

    So understandably,expectations for a home win are high .
