The major positive Brendan Rodgers brought to Celtic when he arrived in 2016 was the elevated level of professionalism he learned at Liverpool. Until then, Celtic were the biggest operation most of the football staff had worked in. Liverpool worked at a different level, which even Neil Lennon accepted when he returned in 2019. Standards have improved since he departed five years earlier.
The same was true when Ange Postecoglou arrived in 2021. Ange brought with him the City Football Group’s method of working, from recruitment to sports science. The bar was raised again, although some of that subsequently dropped off.
The game changes quickly. Even for the elites: a year without a league win and Manchester City have revised their football philosophy. The top coach in the game, with abundant money, has had to rethink everything.
As we discussed on Wednesday, decks have been cleared. Whoever comes in will help mould the football operation into a new shape. Where these influences come from is important. This is what Newco hoped to acquire when they appointed Danny Rohl, from his time at Bayern Munich and the Germany national team, although their flirtation with Steven Gerrard was bizarre. Rohl might be a rubbish manager, but he has seen elite operations up close and will try to bring some of that to Glasgow.

FFS. Aren’t
The price of Souttar being a donkey for the Ibrox mob is that he’s a donkey for Scotland too.
Greece , strangely, seem much more up for this than we are.
Aye Laxalt.Better trenches than that to die in.
Clark is a chancer.

……….
Whoever the Manager is will have to negotiate a library atmosphere for his initial 6 games.
Some folk will say that the COLLECTIVE protests MUST continue and giving circa of 1,000 quid to the board for season tickets, to then weeks later demand that the board is sacked for, what?
For not giving the spoiled manager more toys/players so that he can keep them on the bench, like he did with last seasons TW intake, ensuring that we wouldn’t defeat mighty KIARAT ALMATY?
Whilst Rodgers plays his Transfer Window violin/banjo to the DUMB/DIM/STUPID/FANS knowing that they are so PATHETICALLY WEAK that they’ll be on their knees eating the PATHETIC lying words out of the PATHETIC lying Rodgers hands?
If the first words out of the new Managers mouth aren’t about making us difficult to beat, then Celtic will continue to be European Dinosaurs.
Hopefully we get a Management team who wont be handed their erchies by a make-shift Sportscene panel.
PS, How much did Rodgers or anybody else at Celtic have placed on with a BOOKMAKER for KIARAT ALMATY to defeat Celtic in CLQ’s??
Very strange times we live in.
What a time to be alive.
HH

Hickey remains world class – when he is out injured!
Nygren scores for Sweden
Lefty
Was that his 5th or 6th chance ?
🍀💚 all the best big fella.
king kenny wudv scored that
Total hun BBC coverage
Im not a big Scotland fan but I think they can still get the draw they need here.
I think they need KT on.
It would calm and enthuse the other players.
Che Adams is a good player.
Why is it there is 3 Ex Rangers on Sportscene,seems the higharcy in London needs to be told about the bias up in Scotland,
●● Two questions relating to Celtic players playing for Scotland●●
1) First Celtic player to score for Scotland. A world cup game v Paraguay (1958)
2) Gained one cap V Sweden (1977) came on as sub. scored with his first touch…a header?
T163….noticed that too……coz they hate Celtic/Irish people maybe?
That Neil McCann is an expert
See that leanne chricton has a new set of dentures, making it better for her to whistle The Sash in the Dressing room.
I see Shortie have Thompson, Crighton and McCann as hundits.
Anyone spot a theme?
Just listening to McCann….he’s up their with Pep, Jurgen etc
BrassneckturncoatmoneylovinbassaCSC
Had a look on FF to see their reaction to Soutar.No names left to call him.
Liam Mc Leod,the commentator getting it.Taig,Tarrier,can’t stand him,etc.
A breed apart.
Wee Doakie has got to take that late chance on his left foot, if he does it is a goal
19-7 the 32 counties in eggbaw
Why is this genius Pep McCann not managing at the highest level…..oh wait….
Laxalt,
Steve Clark.Was I right?.
One good half Doak had a while ago.Duff since.

Che Adam’s the love child of Van Vossen and Chris Iwelumo .
TT

Ben Doak is shite btw
Soutter looks like Sunday football player wondering who’s got the kerry oot .
Game over now 2-0, and yet we had a couple of chances to equalise before that.
What does ferguson do for a living?
Canny make that up.Again all Doak has to do is cross it,loses it,20 seconds later. Bang.
Sack the Board…
SACK THE LOT
