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.

wat a joke …clarks no even chanding
Commentator, having a laugh ,we can forget automatic qualification
bobby collins and joe craig
Could it happen!!!@
McGinn gets us back in it, not by scoring but by making a goal for Doakie
Always said we should have got more than 600k for Doak (not)
I’ve always wondered if Souter’s rouge face is a function of exertion or embarrassment.
Ireland v Oz second half coming up.
5 point game.
If we had come out the first half and played,instead of defending,would not have been in this position.Timid arse Clark,looking for the draw.All through this group,the Greeks no great defending.That’s why they are out.Sit back they will gub you.
Idiot of a manager.Last time in a play off,he played with no strikers.
Belarus 2-1 up…..in Denmark
Ryan C really does get us back into it

wee nagging thought in my head ……….. did bertie score for the north ?
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
If Forrest was playing they’d be winning
Scotland have created chances, no doubt about it ….
There’s few statues in that Greek defence
Just dont give them to Adams…..
MacT has to score
2-2 in Copenhagen, 3-4 min to go
Ft
TB….sorry mate I never understood your reply so I’ll ask again…why is Steve Clarke a chancer?
What is a chancer?
2-2 Full time in Denmark
Scotland could still qualify for the WC at home on Tuesday
Would need to win
And to win we would need to defend better than we did tonight
Created more than a few chances though

TV’s ex[ploding all over scodland as ben doak says thank you god twice
Boxing time
Eubanks v Benn
TWICE!!!!!!!!!
Turkeybhoy….what is a chancer and why is Steve Clarke a chancer?
3 times I’ve asked you now
Wasted 35 minutes of that game sitting back letting a brilliant attacking team,attack us.We should have come flying out the traps.We were never going to hold out for 90 + minutes,not with those two CHs.The Greek keeper was brilliant and lucky.Save from Mc Tominey was a bit of both.Ferguson crap the whole game.
Fight time
Here we go hopefully as good as the first fight.
DAZN
SS @ 9:18
No goals for the North for Bertie.
watching eubank jr and benn jr fighting is like watching henkes kids and laudrups kids playing world cuppy….
Better fight this time for Benn well ahead after 6
Eubanks a shell of the fighter he was in April
Benn won every round
Eubanks pay packet is weighing him down
Saved by the bell
Ding Ding
Some performance by Benn..
Ref should have stopped that after the first knockdown.Took a good few more to the head needlessly.
