Another foul on Tierney
KT fouled AGAIN.
Must be designated piñata today
I can remember when we had players who would have sorted thugs like lafferty out. Quietly and legally.
Ht – lucky to be only 2 down
Levein’s tactical masterplan is to bully us on their wee tight pitch. It’s working.
Thank feck HT. Hearts 2 Celtic 0. The diets well in control and well deserving of a 2-0 lead. Could have been much worse. Poor performance from Celtic as a team and individually. Hopefully Brendan can sort out the mess and we can at least make a game of it 2nd period.
So…this was unexpected.
Hearts cant keep up that pace. An early goal in the second half will make it interesting.
The forward circulation must stop. If Moussa is fit, play him
HT and Hearts lead 2-0.
They are not allowing us to settle on ball and imposing their rustic robust game on us.
Brendan with lots to do in dressing room.
Dembele for McGregor go 4-4-2
Dreadful first half. Jamsie apart, nobody showing. Constantly giving the ball away out of defense and at throw ins.Big teamtalk from Brendan.
If ever there was a bad day at the office…
The run has to end sometime,that’s a given. But please not today.
Boyata gave the ball away for the first needlessly…then for the second passed to Calum in an impossible position…2 chances 2 good hits 2 goals..to be fair Simunovic even worse pass at end of half…did not even look to see where boyata was…2 centre half’s awful…need to stop passing backwards
..all it causes is problems for us…if a team fronts up our defense we look very poor
Our worst display of the season. Two CB’s who can’t defend or pass the ball and a paper-thin midfield. Maybe this invincible tag has become a bit of a burden. Hearts put 90 minutes effort into the first half and have fouled with impunity.. Lafferty allowed 6 fouls before being booked. And don’t get me started on Walker!
Boyata gives ball away for first goal then gives Calmac a hospital pass for second. Hearts are rotten but we need an early goal to salvage something.
Boyata needs punted in the new year.
second to everything – unable to control the ball – forrest our only player – our throw ins are worse than schoolboy – griffiths attitude stinks – tierney has been poor for weeks now…
Anyone else hear the racist comment just as Boyata was about to kick at half time? Or did my ears deceive me?
Lafferty outmuscling Simo and Boyata.
Midfield of Hearts quicker and more physical.
Levein outthinking Brendan.
Our two wide guys not relishing the physicality of Hearts.
This has been coming for weeks and a plan B required.
A tolerant ref allowing a physical approach and our players not reacting well to.
It is not our form that is the problem but our attitude.
The players come and go but the same sloppy attitude affects all our performances.
If we play well and take our chances we have still won.
But the poor play and slack attitude just becomes more prevalent.
Concerning thing for me is the chances we are offering to teams by bad decisions/distribution of the round thing.
On a positive JF, ON looking good and LG took up good positions when JF crossed a couple of times.
Need big improvement second half.
C’mon Celtic
Big second half required for the Hoops
C’mon Celtic

plent front row hun-lites neadin a good eric cantona in the coupon
Looking at second goal Simunovic gets sucked over too easily…looked as if brown could have covered the guy who passes to lafferty
Not really a surprise . Levine is not daft . He knows our midfield is soft . This has been coming for weeks and we all know it . The defence is not the best , but gets no support whatsoever from a midfield with no bottle , brown apart . Seen all this before , living on our laurels too long . Money needing spent . Cmon celtic .
Hope this is reminiscent of New Year’s Day game a good few years back 2-0 to home team at halftime then… Stephen Pearson & Stephen McManus ?
Monthehoops
We deserve to be 2-0 down, infact it could have been more. Come Bhoys get a grip
For all the midfielders we have we don’t have one to bring on that could change things. Callum McGregor has been poor for weeks whilst Armstrong’s form didn’t merit a change.
Dembele must come on for McGregor and hope for a game of two halves.
Kieran too far forward finally cost us in at least one of the goals.
3-2 Celtic…90th minute winner…Happy Xmas
I actually thought we started okay … looking to play quickly up the wings…. but then it all seemed to stop.
Ah well… I’m off to help out at the food kitchen, so I’ll miss the second half … hope we come back, but, at the end of the day, it’s just a game… so, not worth falling out with each other, even if the unthinkable happens and the streak comes to an end.
Life will go on
We will start a new streak
It may take some pressure off, and will hopefully whet the bhoys’ Appetite for hammering the zombies
3 against 2 in Centre midfield means those with 3 dominate, need another in there and not McGregor
All the Griffiths shouters, he’s had the only 3 chances we’ve created and wasted them all, then stupidly booked. Hook him for Dembele at half time.
were not at the races in the first half today , we are allowing them to bully us, defensively we have been a shambles so far, once again every clearance from CG goes to them, this has been coming, we will have to battle hard to get anything today.
Really poor. Must be changes at HT. Nothing happening in midfield, getting bossed.
Long balls Lafferty winning them all.
Griffiths isolated.
Defence is awful!
Apart fae that . .
Brendan…. Teams are not going to stand off and watch us playing … they are an in your face hard working team and will run all day … there are times when we need hard physical grafters not to combat the industrial teams and this is one occasion….Calum is not that type of player …perhaps Kouassi and Stuart Armstrong ( if he is up for it) can turn this around for a point at least….Hearts are showing the rest how they can get something from us …

Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring
efe never made half the mistakes of any CBs since he left – week in week out – poor passes & poor positioning
C’mon Celtic, win the second half by 3 clear goals.
boyata getting slaughtered for the first – but tierney slipped. boyata canny predict that!!
Let’s hope it turns out to be a game of two halves!
We surely cant play as badly in the second?
The jam farts run out of stream hopefully.
I think we will score three!
…and win!
COYBIG!
HH!!
