There can be no doubt that Brendan Rodgers has played his cards very publicly this week. I don’t know the ins-and-outs of it, but it cannot be over losing a player he could not promise a starting position to. I’m not buying that, there has to be something we are not seeing.
We have a modestly important league game tomorrow and a hugely important Champions League qualifier on Tuesday, so between now and Wednesday, at the earliest, it would be preferable not to allow this week of internally created negativity to drag on into yet another press conference.
We are also trying to convince Dedryck Boyata and Moussa Dembele to sign new contracts. You and I know that talk getting in the way these objectives is as inexplicable as it is indulgent.

67 EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS
Post more than your stated once a month

Expect aerial bombardment from Hearts today, two big strikers up front. Our wing backs need to stop them getting balls in from wide areas

If DB has had even a cursory look at the Timternet who could blame him for wanting to move on…

Guys, I have no idea what is going on with Brendan and the Board (PL ?)
What I hope
They get together this weekend or on the plane to Athens and sort it out
For the Good of Glasgow Celtic
I will say, I want Brendan as our Manager
L eaked starting team wrong
Brendan, Celtic and ambition.
No need to make things up. You all recall the interviews when Brendan arrived.
“BRENDAN RODGERS insisted he is only interested in the prestige of Celtic becoming a Champions League side once again and not the money. There have been similar interviews an referencing progress and ambition”.
Pedro in 2016: “We have committed to Brendan in terms of players and going forward our ambitions are as high as his. Expectations here will always be high. We want to dominate in Scotland for as long as we can and we want to get into the Champions League regularly and go as far as we possibly can in that. Brendan shares our vision.
Something has changed, We have communication from Brendan this week. There’s also the reality of what has been (not been ) done since January.
<b<Gordon, Lustig, Ajer, Simunovic, Forrest,Brown, Ntcham, Hayes, Rogic,McGregor,Edouard
Bain, Tierney, Hendry, Sinclair, Griffiths, Christie, Johnston
I get the team most weeks , 24 hours before a game as i’m sure a few others do, wouldn’t read anything into it, certainly not from JJ
2 changes in Simonovic for Hendry
Hayes for KT
Get intae them
D. :)
just seen the team and it’s not what JJ site “leaked”
Ntcham, Rogic, Edouard, Forrest, all starting. strongest team starting.
get the game won early
Mon the HOOPS
Jeez KT must be off to Man U with Brendan !
IMHO Moussa is crocked and PL is pissed at missing out on £30m
Can’t help but chuckle at the Boyata story this morning.
For sale – half decent CB with a sore back in the final year of his contract.
Yours for a fortune !
Welcome to modern football. It is shark infested.
Two words of caution to those frustrated by lack of signings.
Our estimated transfer kitty would be blown in full buying 2 Boyatas.
Barcabhoy’s recent comments on wage inflation are bang on. Greed and ingratitude are nothing new but the scale now is unprecedented – squad morale and togetherness can be undermined easily, and very quickly.
Time to circle wagons and beat hearts.
Hail hail
Leaked starting eleven a lot of nonesense, like 99% of the drivel that’s fantasists JJ writes.
The only guy on the internet that makes Phil almost look like he knows what’s going on at Ibrox.
We need to be up for a battle today, football might just go out the windy.
Maybe a wee touch of genius/ class will win this.
Although I hope we trounce them,.
Win the personal battles and Just match their brawn Celtic and our class will shine through
Hail Hail
D. :)
I hope the bhoys have been issued with strimmers to cut through Levins meadow.
LIVE UPDATES UP
Come on over…Up the hoops
Wrong again.
At least Kieran is being kept in cotton wool.
I’m hoping for a performance from Jonny Hayes and shows he can get back to the form he was getting to before he got that bad injury.
Jonny a MOTM would be just spiffing.
@ BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 11TH AUGUST 2018 9:59 AM
PL has overseen two disastrous reigns in Tony Mowbray and Ronny Deila and was lucky that he had Neil Lennon to bail him out.
I’m amazed how quickly people seem to forget where we were two years ago and the inability to conclude that where we are today is not based on PL or the board, rather, its down to skill and management of Brendan Rodgers.
Three at the back?
Gordon
Lustig Ajer Simunovic
Forrest Brown Ntcham Hayes
McGregor Rogic
Edouard
Sub Bain KT Hendry Griffiths Johnston Christie Sinclair
No CM on the bench, but we don’t need to sign a CM, we’re well covered there!!!
Again no Kouassi in the squad. Bhoy should leave, wasting his time at CP.
POG from 8.48am
Great post
D. :)
Well my friends the time has come, it’s time to raise the roof and have some fun.
Come on the Celtic right aff tae pub hope everyone enjoys thier day

@ JOE FILIPPIS HAIRCUT on 11TH AUGUST 2018 10:46 AM
There you have it folks, already starting to turn on Brendan – defence a bit shaky; big fish in a small pond.
Joe,
How were we doing before Brendan arrived?
– no treble;
-no unbeaten season;
-no European football;
-poor football and players on the pitch;
-30k at Celtic park.
And now:
-unbeaten season;
-double treble;
-CL two years in a row;
-record turnover;
-record profit;
-season ticket waiting lists;
-record sponsorship deals;
-selling players for £7m (Armstrong) that would have gone for under £1m before;
-turning previous squad players (Forrest, McGregor, Boyata into assets worth £10m+).
Who is that change attributable to?

EK in. Yass!

So much for my idea that Kouassi might get a run out the day:((
Heard a rumour about the rumoured team
Team now as per leak. Celtic twitter changed starting 11. I retract previous post re JJ, Kouassi etc ;-)
Gordon
Lustig Hendry Simunovic Tierney
Brown Kouassi
Hayes McGregor Sinclair
Griffiths
Weak looking team for a battle
Five changes
who’s the ball winner on the bench if needed , jeezo …..no kouassi….very strange, on the bench in Europe.
THE HANDS CANT
Doesn’t matter what way you slice it, disaster doesn’t fit Ronny Deila’s two titles
from two.

“Celtic fans 1990s – raging and haven’t won anything in years
Celtic fans 2018 – just won double trebles going for 8 in a row -still raging”
If you can’t see that we are being complacent and not building from a position of strength then you are putting your head in the sand.
We had won the 5th title in a row under Ronny and yet people were not satisfied- were you making the same calls then as you are today?

I blame Peter Lawwell CSC
@ BOURNESOUPRECIPE on 11TH AUGUST 2018 11:55 AM
Then why did we get rid of him then?
The Hands
You said he was a disaster – plenty of managers change without being a disaster, Neil Lennon
just as another example?
If you can’t see your doing ‘the devils work’ of taking sides ( whatever side), inside the Celtic support, your’e burying your head in the SMSM anti Celtic agenda.
There are only two sides as far as I’m concerned as a mere supporter they are Celtic and Anti-Celtic.
and Soupy is correctomundo…..
come on the Celtic
smiley win lose or draw thing

Well this will be a rehearsal for our games against thems . They are building a team to play tough , I am a bit dubious we have players to combat the rough stuff . Time will tell .
