I think we should just use Lenny in big games…
ET …..spot on!
Refresh the team with hungry youngsters after CL efforts. Am pretty sure they wouldn’t have done any worse today. Our home form is worrying and won’t help boost attendances. That said, I think we should do the Dons next week.

Sack wee Jimmy Sanderson for sitting on the fence!
Let me ask…
Would you swap the 100% home and away wins in the champions league qualifiers
The win away from home against spartak
The performance against barca in the nou camp
The win against the mighty Barcelona on wed
For a 100% record in the SPL????
shocker……….
Agreed JoeFillipisHaircut, and you can add Rogne & Lassad to your injured list and Keatings & Toshney are out on loan. I would love those advocating a totally different team for post European games to name their team.

Well said
The only saving grace is this – had the league been over by Halloween how many people would be turning up at Celtic park in January or February?
The league being tight is good for the interest in the game. I expect Pittodrie to be very full next week and the game at Easter Road is shaping up to be very important now.
Over a season I do not see any team being near Celtic once they are out of Europe or once we get a break from it between December and late February. It was a 20 game winning run from this time of the season until we lost to Kilmarnock in the cup last year which got Celtic the league last year.
We are missing Hooper, Stokes, Izzy, Lustig and Forrest right now – they are all a miss.
We need to work harder as a team or it will be a struggle from now until May.
A win at St Mirren and Motherwell as well as the 5-0 over today’s opponents shows what we CAN do the problem is what we are doing.
A good goal from Bangura no doubt if it pushes up the money we sell him for all well and good.As a player with Celtic he was out of his depth and has no long term place at our club.H.H.

‘who exactly would you put on, unless you start throwing on kids. ‘
Is Tony Watt not a kid?
pa – we are dong well in the CL so far – agreed 100% – we are very inconsistent and sometimes poor in the league – is that not fair ? paddy gallagher – teams have feared coming to CP since 1888. of course they will try to get something from the game and some will, but the point i’m making is that with every draw or loss we have, their confidence will grow and ours will drop
Suarez has many faults ….he is a smashing footballer tho
Just in from game ..
Impeccable minutes silence -well done out club.
Game just one too far. Players link mentally and physically exhausted .
St J parked the bus and booted us about, Tony Watt esp.
Big Fraser great messiesque save again ..
A great week for our club..
Onwards , upwards and onto the road to Lisbon via Pittodrie..
HH
what a strange old season this is turning out to be
Poor first half, better second half, only coz we scored, disappointing , but
no more than that.
Dignified, impeccably observed silence. Dignity is something that sits
easily on the shoulders of the celtic support. Come what may, win..lose…draw.
Hi Ghuys, Salve salve;-
From Diefication to defication in four days.

Terry and Suarez score wonder who will get the winner?
“Barca win is why I joined Celtic” – Mikael Lustig. Taken from the Daily Star on News Now (Celtic):
CELTIC’S Mikael Lustig says he cannot believe the Hoops could be a point away from the last 16 of the Champions League.
When the draw for the group stages was made, the Swedish full-back feared that Group G could turn grisly for Neil Lennon’s side.
But they are alive and kicking after their 2-1 win over tournament favourites Barcelona.
Lustig reckons that victory proves his decision to turn down potential moves away from the Bhoys last January was the right one – but he knows they also have to stay focused on their bid for the SPL title.
Lennon’s men play St Johnstone at home today, a week after letting a two-goal lead slip against Dundee United.
But that result and performance will have been largely forgotten by many thanks to the heroic display against Barca.
And Lustig said: “A night like that justifies my decision to come to Celtic. It was all positive.
“When I came here the big goal was to reach the Champions League and I don’t think too many teams would have managed this group as well as we have”.
“I never expected we would be where we are at this stage, though”.
“To have seven points after four games is good”.
“We feel that we can get at least a draw in Lisbon. I think Benfica will be a much better team at home than at Celtic Park – but we have a chance.
“I’m not saying that we’re going to go over there and win. But if we can defend the way we have in the other Champions League games then we have a chance.
“We won’t get carried away. Benfica are still going to be favourites to beat us, so not too much has changed.
“It will be a different game and I hope that we can create a few more chances against them than we did against Barcelona.”
Lustig also revealed that the bug which ruled Scott Brown out of Wednesday’s win almost claimed him as a victim as well.
He said: “I had a fever and a high temperature. I was on the bench last Sunday and I started to feel cold.”
Rothbhoy.
GREAT PLAYER – missed him today I think. Would have liked Beram to have been given 90 minutes today, as well as Dylan.
Have said a few times we will not win the league by 30 points. In the past when we and Huns have been ahead of the rest that is due us both taking points off them.
We should win by 12 to 15 points.
After all the back slapping for the 12th man on Wednesday, what marks out of ten today?
Torres off – Enoch Powell on

Your assumption that the league is ours is stupid!
We are falling behind now.
Please tell me the games we will win and the opposition will lose to and so we eventually win the league.
Well?
In Neil Lennon I trust.H.H.
We are right to be concerned about our league form.
There are no signs of improvement.
None.
If we don’t taste the lows we won’t know the highs. Every game is 11 against 11 for 90 minutes. We should be in the position to have two team,s one for Europe, one for SPL. Hate saying it because I can remember hating their headlines re 2 teams.
Sandman
Fair balanced comment
GerryBhoy
While I accept results like today will reflect in attendances, I’m sure a lot of the empty seats today have already been bought and paid for.
The board imo should be more pro active when deciding, or allowing our games to be played.
This weekend was a typical example, our game gets moved to a sunday to accomadate a team from the 4 th division.
Thousands for all over can’t make a home game on a sunday, the logistics and cost just don’t allow it.
The league will be won, we will have a couple of months to get it sorted, and in the mean time we are bringing through a few of the kids.
I would wager that if the huns had still been around, kids like Tony Watt wouldn’t have had near as much game time as he has had.
Think Mo Bangura has found his level at AIK Stockholm. Doing very well at the moment – saw him score a brilliant goal the other night against Malmo FF. Things just didn’t work out for him at Celtic – certainly a step up in class when you compare AIK to Celtic. Most of the ‘top’ Swedish sides would struggle in the SPL. Maybe Elfsborg, IFK Gothenburg, AIK Stockholm and Malmo FF would just about hold their own – not even certain about this.

We won’t win the league at all on this form
2 from 9 is appalling form …and nothing to do with the form of other teams
Back in from the game ……after Wednesday’s stupendous effort, it was always going to be ‘difficult’ today, and so it proved ……was proud of the GB’s decision to enter the ground after the minutes silence ……well done, GB …….!!!!!!!! ….. Minute’s silence for remembering all those who were killed in senseless warfare impeccably observed (also picked up my 2 tickets for Wee Oscar’s racenight, meeting some great CQNers in the process…..!!!)
He is Ernie and a good one, so Lenny HAS thrown him on. Our squad is very much trimmed this year, and we have 6 major players out injured and as Joe said I also doubt if Sammi & Brooney were totally fit today. Scratch beneath the lads I mentioned above and you are down to our under 20 team. Now there are a few prospects there but you cannot simply put out a side with say 5 of the under 20 side & expect them to win SPL games for you. We got a point today if Lenny had done what some are advocating we would have got nothing.
Funny game
I guess the gb were outside objecting to the min silence so 10 mins in they are still being frisked and the atmosphere was quite sedate and once in try as they might it didn’t really change that much
Sure it was disappointing. Anything other than a win always is. You travel from a fair distance, pay good money, drop money in the shop etc and as a consumer expect payback.
I think I counted 9 honest mistakes today for the record
Wednesday’s CL disappointment doesn’t seem to be affecting Barca … 3 up away to Mallorca
Too many players going through the motions, just what Joe Ledley is bringing to the party these days is not clear to me, where is the midfielder that gets beyond the strikers and chips in with big goals?- he was rightly hooked but Lenny had a glut of options in that respect.
Beram should be given his chance next week. Lustig back in, Charlie could do with a rest. We do miss Hoopers link up play and Forrest’s pace.
Hardly terminal though and next weeks game will be a cracker.
SPL certainly doesn’t miss the Creambos.

‘you cannot simply put out a side with say 5 of the under 20 side & expect them to win SPL games for you.’
That depends on the alternative doesn’t it? The alternative today was scraping a point.
Who from the first team squad is fit and available and didn’t play on Wednesday?
Which of the development squad players are fit and available?

You and I both know that form will not continue. We will go a run of games and pull away.
Win……..
……….Lose…….
…….or Draw…………….
I think we can afford the odd blip in form in the SPL. Remember the lads – most of whom played today – put in a huge shift on Wednesday night. Kris Commons looked totally shagged to be honest. He even looked to be heading off at one stage – as soon as the substitution board went up.
If I’d been Lenny I’d have given 90 minutes to both Beram and Dylan – both in need of a FULL game IMO.
Credit to St Johnstone – thought they did very well defensively. Ya win some, ya lose some.
Chelski 1-1 L/pool.
Compare and contrast.
