I don’t know about you but practically every football thought I have at the moment is connected to where we go next. The small matter of winning the league title has slipped into ‘foregone conclusion’ territory, which is always dangerous.
The players will be no different from the rest of us, but they will have more on their minds. A change of manager is likely to mean a new system, and new squad requirements. They need to focus on making the best of the next five games. One thing that has been reassuring this week is Ronny Deila’s comments. His professional pride is clear; he’ll apply himself fully to the task in hand until the end of the season.
Eyes on the task of winning the league, as soon as possible.

I’ve still to finish washing it! It’ll be painted once that’s done.
Can you tell I hate doing it?!

Ronny will have been well aware of the possible outcomes of his tenure as will the power brokers who must have filled him in chapter and verse on how things may unfold.
with all eventualities considered for by the astute custodians of our club there must surely be a contingency ready to roll from where we now find ourselves……….

I agree with with your analysis of what’s needed but there are some on your list I’d keep.
Incidentally
I would be offering a new deal to Charlie Mulgrew
Daily Mail saying Celtic have denied being approached by Hiddink’s representatives.
Yes Please
HT
Those with question marks, let the new Manager assess,
Still well overc12 players we need to move on
Sign 4 of quality to replace
And not currently on our scouts list :-)))
COWIEBHOY on 23RD APRIL 2016 9:57 PM
Would also give Mulgrew a one year deal but would keep McGregor and Rogic.
Hope Christie gets a start tomorrow, he’s played enough games at this level. Let’s see what he can do.
TBJ
Very, very funny :-)
Cowiebhoy
I’d keep Commons. CKR can go along with the others but I’d be looking to tie up Rogic on a new deal.
And aye, let the new manager decide on who the new recruits are!!
Gordon
ML
Erik
Charlie
Kieran
Brown
McGregor
Roberts
Rogic
Christie
Griff

Seen as the club don’t have many right backs, I’d keep both Lustig and Jancko.
Jancko obviously needs to get fit and stay fit. However he should see next season as his chance to do to Lustig , as Tierney has done to Izzy.
Lustig hasn’t hit the heights this season…. But I still think he is worth keeping. 29 yr old, Sweden international. You don’t chase that experience out the door.
RUGGYGMAN on 23RD APRIL 2016 10:06 PM
What about Darnell Fisher?
Timreaper & HT
Rogic was offered a new deal, still not signed – also struggles to play 90mins ?
Sorry don’t rate McGregor, watch him again last week, came on and Did his usual wandering , had to move Roberts because of this
Christie has 2 seasons experience with ICT in the SPFL, where he did shine, let’s see what he can do with Celtic, could play him wide left role ?
Hail Hail
I’ve read two posters today say they would keep Christie, but let Allan go. I’m not sure how decisions like that can be made on how little we’ve seen of both players this season. I would like to see both given a chance, as they play attacking football.
I also think, you don’t chase Brown or Mulgrew out the door. Whatever is needed, we still need a Scottish , experienced presence within the squad.
If K.Miller can aid Rangers at 37, then both Brown and Mulgrew have much to offer Celtic F.c.
I’d chase James Forrest though. Too many seasons, not enough impact. Zero heart that bhoy.
Ruggyman
I thought Lustig was class, 3 seasons ago
I think after his injuries and operations he has lost a huge amount of mobility
No idea what the injury was with Janko, but heard he was struggling to settle in Glasgow ?
Either can go as Fisher will return
A Norse, a Norse, my Timdom or a Norse…
TBM
Darnel Fisher, doesn’t have the pedigree of Lustig.
Side by side, I think Jancko has better physical attributes.
Fisher, funnily enough I think would be a right good signing for Aberdeen. As I know the wee scratch that is Shay Logan is away this summer.
Fisher would do well to land a club of Aberdeen.
But for Celtic…..No
COWIEBHOY on 23RD APRIL 2016 10:10 PM
I rate McGregor. I thought he did ok when he came on last week. All about opinions.
Keep LG , KT , ES , TR from last weeks team
The rest i would chase especially the captain
Love
Celt55
Will accept that on Allan – my view is at 25 he should already be established in the team after a full season ?
Christie I watched playing against us for past 2 seasons, and watched him dominate our midfield on several occasions, still only 20, and just joined us permanently in January, although injured through to mid Feb, may be reason we have not yet seen him give a run
He has been getting very good reviews in Development team
And a Bhoy which helps :-))
Whatever happens the new manager will need to quickly assess the sqaud. If he is someone who has no connection or knowledge of us at at present he will find it hard to remove some of the deadwood before the end of August. Bearing in mind that 95% of the squad will see this as a fresh opportunity regardless of how average some of us know they are.
Trust me, if a Moyes or a Keane inherit the hot seat, Scott Allan will be even further out in the cold than he is currently.
I appreciate he has forward passing ability….but he struggled at M.K Dons in England league 1.
Why ? because modern day midfielders need to bring a lot to the table. Energy, physicality, defensive awareness, so on and so on.
Allan’s level was Hibs. It’s not like he is 21/22…..he is just turned 25.. He won’t develop much further

Re beeb and narratives.
What do you expect from our state broafcaster.?.
Old auntie has historical form on the old propoganda skills front.
Jeez as far as the cheat goes they have ‘deemed’ by investigation of themselves that the cheat is the one continious cheat and that there is no breaking in linkage in its cheating.it is the same cheating.
How very gracious of them eh.!
I dissent their cheating narrative
;-)

I agree on Christie, I’m hoping he does play a part next season. I like the way Allan looks for a forward pass though which I feel we’re lacking and he’s got a good touch. Hopefully they’ll both offer more next season. I do agree about his age though. He’s no youngster.
Cowiebhoy
If Christie’s proper position is centre midfield then that’s where he should be played. I’m fed up with players not being played where they operate best.
I’d still be looking to keep Rogic, I think he’s the type of player that can get you a goal out of very little.
As I’ve posted,we collect players and don’t buy a guy for a specific position,the wage bill is astronomical due to gross mismanagement from Lawwell and his buddy John Park. How much money has been wasted on trying to replace Hooper? Not my fav in recent times but a guy who was a proper No 9

Fair enough you’ve seen a lot more of Allan than I have. I did like the way he played at Hibs though. I thought he made more of an impression with them than Liam Henderson is doing this season, yet many posters think he can do a job for us.

The only name that excites and will get bums on seats from where we are now. Difficult to see it coming to fruition though.
Any manager coming in, whoever he is, is already doing his homework. If he looks in here he will be baffled.
Anyway just thought I would join in.
Keep the following. Gordon, Janko, SChiavenko ( SP?) , Mulgrew, Tierney, Brown, Armstrong, GMS, Griffiths, Christie, McGregor, Roberts, CKR, Rogic, Bitton, The others can go, I do not know enough about the development squad to comment ..
Needed…..centre back with pace, another VW , Lubo and Henke. Apart from that. Nothing.
COWIEBHOY
Janko had a leg break, I posted an article on it earlier, he’s on his way back, good player in my opinion..
I’m just looking forward to tomorrow with no pressure on the team. Win and it’s Swinecastle here we come.
2 seasons ago Lusitig .Samaras,and Forster were the only guys we had who could play at CL level. IMO. I think Lustig is struggling as he is not used to playing so many games compared to last 2 years,I would definitely keep him.
