Do our job and hope Killie struggle at Aberdeen

483
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Celtic’s run of games at home against low ranking teams continue tomorrow against Hamilton Academical.  These matches are always straightforward on paper but it takes lots of energy to subvert any team of professionals.  If we get a comparable performance in the opening period to what was on display against Airdrie and St Mirren, Accies will be in for a difficult afternoon.

Assuming Celtic do their job right, we can hope that Aberdeen take something from Kilmarnock at Pittidrie.  Killie are currently only a point off the pace, although Celtic have a game in hand, against St Johnstone next midweek.

With his new strikers playing so well, Brendan Rodgers will be in no hurry to rush Odsonne Edouard back.  I am also keen to see more of Ewan Henderson.

I once heard “We gave the world Hugh McIlvanney.” He was good enough to be a national boast.  He lilov Big Jock too. Sigh.

    TW — he helps old ladies across the road, rescues kittens from tall trees and will start giving lessons to Ludge MIB on the laws of the game.

     

     

    Going to be a bit crowded regarding attacking options.

     

    Hoping that MJ and IB / new Bloke get some game time soon.

     

    Might allow JF and ScS to have some time off.

     

     

    Interesting that as more forwards join the squad ScS suddenly finds some form.

     

     

    Looking like 7 potentials for 3 positions.

     

    Plus another possibly on his way.

     

    Can anyone play RB.

    NEIL LENNON was last night sensationally on the way out of Hibs after being SUSPENDED by chief executive Leeann Dempster.

     

     

    SunSport understands his two and half year reign as boss looks to be over following a dramatic exchange with Dempster in the immediate aftermath of a full and frank exchange with his first team squad at the East Mains training squad.

     

     

    Lennon has been furious with performances and a five game league run without a win with matters coming to head following Wednesday night’s 1-0 defeat at Motherwell.

     

     

    The 47-year-old let rip at his players, making it clear there had to be immediate improvement starting with Sunday’s game against rock bottom St Mirren.

     

     

    But it’s understood soon after the squad summit Dempster dramatically got involved and Lennon was told he was to step aside pending the results of a club probe.

     

     

    No2 Garry Parker and the rest of the backroom staff are believed to be furious with the shock action against Lennon and 100-per-cent supportive of the Northern Irishman.

     

     

    As of late last night it was unclear who would be taking charge of the match against the Saints in Paisley.

     

     

    Ex-Celtic boss Lennon is under contract until 2020 – but now it looks highly likely he will be heading out of Easter Road.

     

     

    He replaced Alan Stubbs in 2016 a month after the historic Scottish Cup triumph over Rangers and in his first season guided the Hibees back to the Premiership as Championship winners.

     

     

    Last season they finished fourth but this term they sit eighth

    Never forget I Know Nothing, Nothing at all – I bought the Bros album – I am Sad though Happy.

     

     

    The wee reverse pass that was just overhit by Euan had me on my feet. Wow we have a Belter in this Bhoy.

    We have more than half of 43 million in the bank and its all relative anyway. We are not shopping in the same market as west ham or any other premier league club, which is ok by me.

     

     

    We have more than enough money to fund the purchase a quality (relative speaking) rightback and centre bank. strenthening these two areas would make a big, big difference to our preformances. Follow the same model as before i.e young up and coming prospects etc… but these are several difference group i.e. academy graduates, under 19s who can be picked up for buttons and developed in the academy and highly sought after boys in late teens, early twenties than cost several million pounds.

     

     

    The wages for 3 or 4 highly sought after players will be more than covered when we have a major cull at end of season what with Brown, lustig, gamboa boyata, allan, ddv and izzy costing us the best part of 100k a week.

     

     

    i have no idea how much Benkovic, Burke and Weah cost per week but would hazard a guess its not less than 60k a week.

     

     

    We then have a further group of players who could leave tomorrow without anyone noticing such as, henry, mulumba, miller, benyu, hayes, arzani, bitton and compper who combined likely cost the club another 80k a week.

    Wow – Goals Central. This guy and he has added point to prove back up assisting him is Monumental. Oh the Cry we need a Defesive Mid – Brendan wants an attacking Mid- Hold the Ball.

     

     

     

    Deeeeelighted with the forward acquisitions – please George Njoi Celtic Park when VALENCIA are in town – I hope your Son is sensational on the night.

    The Young ones are in the Celtic Team on merit.

     

     

    More and More are getting there…… an impossible route to be honest, the very best get there – thankfully so many cracking players coming through the Celtic System go on to have good careers playing the game we All Love elsewhere.

     

     

    Respect JJ for doing his best for his current team – I’d do my best against Celtic if I was ever in that situation.

    Best wishes to Timbhoy2 on his sojourn in hospital and also to my old friend MAH in his programme .

    Spending money on the CEO’s bonus is not going to help.

     

     

    ================================================================

     

     

    Unless of course the CEO is largely responsible for doing the financial deals and contracts which are responsible for the wealth we do have.

     

     

    Do you really think that the guys around him in the Board room are financial mugs dishing out largesse or hard headed achievers in the world of business and finance ?

     

    Peanuts and monkeys.

     

     

    I know.

     

    Lets please the Trust and get Maduro in.

     

    I hear he`s looking for a job .

    Sorry to hear about Lenny.

     

    Three , I think , Aussie boys on his books , currently at the Asian cup and doing well for the team .

     

    We were only minus big Tom .

     

     

    My heart would love to see him with a role at his home.

    A Hibbie at work was at the Motherwell game midweek, said fans were turning against Lenny and that the football has been poor for ages.

     

     

    Then also said it was strange that Lenny has started getting pally with the establishment recently, very un Lenny like, they weren’t happy at that :O)

     

     

    Things haven’t been good at Hibs for a while.

    “Part of Lee’s job is to find not just players for now, but to find players who are strategic for the club, who can help the club later on.”

    Garry you’d burst a gut to score a goal against Celtic, I’d do the same and All genuine people would.

     

     

    Never giving yer best isnae in our DNA.

    Respect to Jordan Jones.

     

    Allan McGregor should have saved his shot though.

     

    When my mate Tosh played fitba against Celtic for Dundee and Hearts, he tried his hardest. Got him his dream move to his team Celtic. Professional attitude

    Brendan responds to CQN whingers in defence of head of recruitment , Lee Congerton .

     

    :-)

     

     

    “The regular supporter wouldn’t know the operation. And when one or two get emotional in the media and start to point fingers, that can snowball.

     

     

    “It’s easy for people to criticise but he does a great job, he’s very talented. He hasn’t worked in the game for this period of time without having that talent.”

    Garry,

     

     

    Timo is a goal machine.

     

     

    Incredible player. I love his attitude as well Forgiving fouls instantly -need that sorted as it is Scotland.

     

     

    Wow – If we got an extension on the Mega player. ;))

     

     

    Valencia is likely to come too early for Kieran to be back for the home leg.

    When Joe Miller of Celtic came up against Tosh McKinlay of Hearts, Tosh had Joe in his pocket. Got Tosh his move to his team Celtic.

    Garry,

     

     

    Noone gets by Kieran Tierney, ma kind of defender. I know the Times have changed and I’ve seen Kieran awkward on his right foot.

     

     

    Big Respect to Tosh for being the Man he is. Magical.

     

     

    Cracking left foot also.

    Tony Ralston was delivering crosses with that certain style with an open boot.

     

     

    I hope he is Bach soon as he is a solution.
