A very impressive win over Dundee was astonishing for both the variety of goals and also the similarity in their genesis. Seven goals from seven different scorers is incredible, perhaps unmatched in our history. By halftime, only four outfield players were not on the scoresheet. You may conclude that this is a team that can score from anywhere. To a point.
The other astonishing aspect of the game was that six goals were created by attacks down the right. Yang committed his man and won a freekick, the result of which was Cameron Carter-Vickers’ opener.
Alistair Johnston crossed for Adam Idah to score Celtic’s second, just as they did on Sunday. The left still contributes. Greg Taylor measured a cross into the heart of the Dundee box for Matt O’Riley to score Celtic’s third headed goal. Two headed crosses from Taylor converted in two games is an above average return.
After that, it was all down the right. Daizen Maeda turned inside and shot first-time into the corner of the net, after collecting from O’Riley on the right wing. Johnston again provided a cross, deflected into the air, for Taylor to make it five.
Yang twisted twice to lose Dundee’s Beck before crossing into the heart of the box for Callum McGregor. The captain played a one-two with Taylor before shooting low into the net from 14 yards. Halftime arrived with a dose of bewilderment; do we have our Celtic back?
With the job done and a big game ahead, the pace dropped off in the second period. Brendan Rodgers hooked the pivotal Idah, who earlier reacted to a petulant grab and was booked. He will encounter more frustrated defenders if he continues in this form, so had better get used to it.
In a carbon copy of his earlier cross to McGregor, Yang rolled another ball along the deck, deep into the box. This time Daniel Kelly was there to measure a shot into the postage stamp corner. The entire right side of the field, with Carter-Vickers, O’Riley, Johnston and Yang reduced Dundee’s defending to a shambles. Their 21-year-old left back Owen Beck, whom Celtic were interested in, in January, will have easier days.
Yang is also 21 and still acclimatising to life in a different continent. It will not always be like this (it never is for a winger), but our job is not to rubbish talent like petulant children. If we want success (some of us appear to be more comfortable in a state of trauma), we have to learn what its early stages look like. Hint: it looks like Yang’s season so far.

I see Mr Angry has been on again, shouting from his echo chamber…”Maeda is rubbish -Maeda is rubbish”
Change the record for goodness sake !

I see the taxpayers of Scotland are still paying out over the handling of the liquidation. It’s a scandal.
I’m looking forward to the ITV drama.
Suggestions of names for the show are welcome…
WBC,
Let’s try and play the ball not the man. Too many contributers have left without us driving off more ✌️
From the above article…
“The payout from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service brings the total compensation bill relating to the Rangers case to more than £52m”
Both thomson and mccann on sports scotland have a combined ebt balance of just under £1 million
How they can be there, without being asked about this
And comment on football in scotland is beyond me
IF, MOR gets sold, I ‘d be happy with a midfield of Iwata, Hatate and Calmac, what;s not to like
When MOR gets sold…..
And I will wish him all the best as he has been tremendous for our club

Unhinged and increasingly desperate. From today’s blog you can read who assisted 6 of the 7 goals. All apart from the 1st as Yang winning a free kick was deemed more notable than O’Riley’s delivery.
From yesterdays blog
“Yang will surely be rewarded for his outcome-determining contribution on Sunday with a starting place.”

I could have sworn it was Idah who turned that game around. But we know what Paul thinks about the Brendan Rodgers signing from Tuesday’s piece about Kwon
“We are able to sign players from Norwich in the English second tier who can do a job here but will not transform us”
https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/ambition-being-demolished-in-real-time/
Mere hours later those of us with a free evening could watch him put in a completely unremarkable display against Ross County. The good news is that Kwon “Look at his stature; he is 6’ 4” tall and broad too” has also grown an inch since Paul’s blog about him a month ago
https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/kwon-or-mid-career-journeymen/
“He is an absolute unit: 6’ 3”, mahogany solid and fast”. At this rate he’ll be a 6′ 10″ mahogany maestro when he’s leading the midfield in August.
This blog now appears to serve a singular purpose. To save the jobs of Peter and Mark Lawwell. Perhaps because if they’re gone so too is any access to snippets of information. Nothing could be more harmful to this club’s short and long-term prosperity. It should be called out at every opportunity.
Evening all.
A wee bit of easy listening to put you gently of to sleep.

Watching some old clips .
A question – why were Naka’s strips always too big for him ? 🤪

Having an EBT as an emplyee is not a crime. Why would you expect people who were paid through an EBT to be banned from future employment?
Apart from all that, it was a long time ago. I for one am sick hearing Celtic supporters constantly bringing up EBTs.
Time to move on.
Having an EBT as an emplyee is not a crime.
Why would you expect people who were paid through an EBT to be banned from future employment?
Because an ebt is repayable
They knew as we do now
It was not repayable
Thats why it was off the books
ie hidden
Why do I have to explain this??
And it was the fact that it was off the books
Thru a contract that the SFA did not have access to
Was it called a side contract
That made it illegal
And not repayable
And your questioning of it, hunnish
Sebastian Coe is up in Glasgow for the World Indoor Athletics Championships which starts tomorrow in the Emirates Arena just across the London Road from Celtic Park. Jim White on TalkSports caught up with him this morning only for Seb to tell him;
“From my office here I am looking at the Lisbon Lions Stand named after the Lisbon Lions who won the European Cup in 1967 which I remember watching in black n white……”
To be fair to Jim (red) White (and blue) he took it very well, as he always does when talking all things Celtica.
Well done Seb, hope we invite him over for a visit and any of the competing athletes into the bargain. Noah Lyles would be my first choice, but all would be welcome, just show them the Trophy Room, and tell them….

Just watched highlights from Kilmarnock.
Diomande should have been sent off at 1-0.
Penalty claim turned down at 2-1.
Impressive quick throw and movement for rangers second goal to be fair though.
lord coe for chairman, hurrah

Your bitterness will eat you up sir.
I have no idea if you are a bitter we person who just likes to moan about folk doing well in life or if you are another bitter hun who detest Peter Lawwell for all the success he has brought to Celtic this past 20 years. Probably the latter but with way it’s pathetic to see your attempts to divide the club when we are on the cusp of a championship run in.
Do you even know what Lawwell Jnr KPI’s are or job description ? If you do then please share it. If not then better you don’t comment on his performance if it is something you are obviously ignorant about.
CLUNKS
You don’t have to explain anything to me. It was the old Rangers who were at fault, which was why they were liquidated.
The only thing I was questioning was your boring obsession with EBT recipients.
BURNLEY78 on 29TH FEBRUARY 2024 8:26 PM
I’m responding to the lead article which follows a very clear pattern. If you want to make accusations of divisiveness, direct them at the guy happy to throw our manager under the bus whilst spouting nonsense like this
“but our job is not to rubbish talent like petulant children”
As for Peter Lawwell, Rangers were going for 4 in a row when they were liquidated. Lawwell’s domestic success is predicated entirely on having no competition. Our European record under his stewardship is a disgrace. Offering the job to Neil Lennon in the showers was an embarrassment. His refusal to sack him when 10IAR could potentially have been salvaged was completely negligent. The employment of his sons is a scandal. I think that just about covers it :-)
He is a fraud. He wasn’t missed when he was gone and he won’t be missed now.
As for calling me a hun. Same old story on here. I have zero interest in replying to anything else you have to say. Have a nice evening.
Tom
The only thing boring here is your comments on why ebt’s are not relevant to todays sporting commentators…..
It means they are compromised
And you know where that takes them
Perhaps you have been too long down under to understand the scope of the bigotry that still exists in scotland
And how that shapes the stories that coonts like ebt thomson and mccann spin
Both Liewells should be sacked for Gross misconduct anyone who believes otherwise are stupid as stupid does.
D. :)
DAVID66
your usual sack the liewells post never appeared this morning??
Glad you posted it this evening
Clunk’s no bother.
Never seen your posts verbally abusing posters mothers.
Glad your on sober maybe.
D. :)
David66
Get the hate for the liewells out the evening after a defeat
As it means nothing the morning after a 7-1 win
Justify me calling it out with you crying about someone abusing your mum….
With the amount of Trophies, Peter Lawwell has won, its obvious he’s the best player never to have an international cap
Clunk’s it wasn’t my mum.
You canny even remember.
Best to stay off the drink.
Oh and I have a life so I will post when it suits me and I think if you read back my post was 1st up congratulating the team but Liewell has nothing to do with the team, remember but his son does and he is a disaster.
You are a disgrace of a human being, I actually feel sorro and pity for you.
I would be grateful if you never conversed with me again please.
D. :)

Every morning you post about the weather in garngad
And then how much you want the lawells to be sacked
This morning the it was noted you chose not to
And then to appear later to pollute us with your nonsense
As for your mum…..lets leave her out of it!
Majestic Hartson …£52m ..fecking disgrace ..reason deliberate Rangers supporters attempt at retribution re so called “ injustice ..why no public enquiry calls ? …just think what those funds could have been used for from public finance in these days of police /NHS budget cuts and indeed public expenditure generally ? 🤔
Majestic Hartson @ 7.30…if this blog were solely about exchanging niceties I would not be here. Turkeybhoy is a well-known, long-time poster of this parish who is famous for his terse put downs of fellow posters who happen to disagree with him or even have the gall to appreciate the play and hard work-rate of our very own Daizen Maeda. He is a big bhoy and can defend himself admirably. Personally, I enjoy his posts and miss him when he periodically flounces. There is no malice towards him in my posts, however, I sometimes can’t resist having a little wind-up. My dollops of malice are more likely to be directed towards someone like Darwin/JHB
whom I consider to be overly sneaky rather than straight and open.
Don’t take the blog too seriously…
It’s good that people are reading my vital weather forecasts.
Even better when it annoys them
🤣🤣🤣
D. :)
mums the word lol
9.52 still on Page 2 here,says a lot
W B C,
No apologies for having an opinion on Maeda.There has been a myth built up around the guy,that his performances certainly don’t deserve,but for some reason are accepted.He can’t dribble,can’t head the ball,can’t pass,unless back or sideways back to were it came from,can’t cross the ball,very very seldom gets by the full back and gets a cross in.Blooters attempted crosses out the park regularly.We all watch it,but few will call it out.No one else gets a free pass.GT,100% every game,gets stick,MOR,our best player this season,now getting it,everyone else,except Maeda.Through the middle or nowhere,because he is useless out wide.
Yes,you are still trying to be a snide,am a bovvered ?Naw.Win 7-1,and next day,2 pages,brilliant.Lawwel haters,snides,SS poster boys,bigoted racists occupying a good bit of space as well,but a comment about Maeda gets you angry.Sums you up.
Bada
It says more than you know
Mostly that the patrons of CQN tend to post when its shit
Wonder if thats why P67 tries to stir it with his leaders
As when Celtic do well, CQN does not
and vice versa
The build up and finish for Meada’s goal was outstanding.
Bhoy does he frustrate you he has every other attribute, heart, pace, tracks back he does lack that final ball bit of quality or composure in front of goal but then again going at the speed he goes at it is understandable that sometimes his quality in front of goal is lacking.
I will say it again the whole team were brilliant, foot off the gas slightly in second half again understandable.
Anyway onward to Sunday we go.
D. :)
