    Great result and a marker laid down by Ronny.

     

     

    Some very good performances – particularly pleased for Craig G – had him marked down (on the blog) as a potential replacement pre-FF £2M actual signing by Lenny.

     

     

    This looks a VG deal – now all we need to do is add a few pieces to the jigsaw (Creative MF, no.9 and LB cover).

     

     

    90 minutes next Tuesday will define our season!

     

     

    H!H!

    Feel chuffed for Ronny and his ream

     

     

    That is what I call improvement.

     

     

    As mature, thoughtful and measured away performance as I can remember for a long time.

     

     

    Big performances from a number of players I have been critical off in the past

     

     

    Mulgrew, played to his strengths (and limitations)

     

    Kayal’s controlled energy was pivotal to our shape and discipline

     

    Stokes put in a shift, made unselfish runs and managed to cause their defence some issues

     

     

    All of the above are hopefully signs of Ronny’s coaching input.

     

     

    No real negatives tonight, Johansen grew into the shirt, Lustig was superb and we have another top goalkeeper, forget the profit I am happy with Gordon as a signing in his own right.

     

     

    Looking forward to a well planned family holiday in Scotland next week and the buoys first trip of the season to Paradise.

    after the pelters (and rightly so) he took for the Legia debacle, I thought Mulgrew had an excellent game tonight. Kept possession moving from deep and was able to pick out some great passes too but am sure RD would have given him exact instructions on what he wanted and Mulgrew can be well pleased that he carried them out to the letter.

     

     

    Kayal, Scarlett and Lustig all played very well and Stokes for the majority of his time worked hard and typified that when Berget got one in the face and Stokes chased back into cover him.

     

     

    Well done all round tonight lads :)

  5. Doc on

    HT, Stokes put in a great shift, no doubt.

     

    Denayer, great CL debut.

     

    But MotM, Kayal, buy a stretch for me.

     

     

    Very good performance and result.

     

     

    Nice to hear CG disappointed we didn’t win, good.

  7. connaire12 on

    Like most on here I thought Kayal had a great game. I hope he continues to improve at this level.

     

     

    Great performances from Gordon, wee Callum and WD.

     

     

    Sadly Izzy shows signs of going backwards. He has no speed and lacks the ability to tackle.

     

     

    But it will be another truly European night at CP next Tuesday. Bring on the GB.

  8. pabloh_AKA_NEIL LENNON on

    Like most on here… Kayal was outstanding, strolled it tonight. Like the kayal of old, is he back??

     

     

    I think with commons back in the team and efe as far away as possible

  10. Kojo on

    Noo Dae ye believe Me..

  12. ThisIsTheOne on

    Really pleased for Ronny and the squad. Much better.

     

     

    Listening to the beelin ones on radio scotland is the icing on the cake.

  13. Malarkey on

    Craig Gordon 8 Fantastic reach, makes the goal look small and commands his area.

     

     

    Lustig 7 Really Professional, switched sides with ease

     

     

    Denayer 7 A few scares but quick and strong, confident to go up against Tavares a real handful

     

     

    VVD 7.5 Just a touch better than Denayer, nearly scored with a guided missile. A bit vulnerable to through balls.

     

     

    Izzy 6.5 Played OK but didn’t get past his fullback later on. Looked a bit vulnerable sometimes. Odd mistake.

     

     

    Mulgrew 8 Really Solid. Shielded, distributed and made no mistakes.

     

     

    Kayal 7 Surprising defence splitting passes. Where is the real Kayal and what have they done with him?

     

     

    Johansen 7.5 What a fit guy. He must be the managers blueprint. Set up the goal with his chip, Unlucky bobble when he was through.

     

     

    Mcgregor 8.5 If you score 4 in 7 it can’t be luck. Very fit, skilful, pretty quick, got past his full-back. Could be a really really important Celtic player for years.

     

     

    Bergets 7 Pretty good. Some nice touches. Decent strength. Tired later

     

     

    Stokes 7.5 Tough tough shift, had a chance. A good Euro performance.

     

     

    subs

     

    Griffiths 5 Didn’t work as hard as Stokes though he was fresh. A bit lightweight.

     

    Ambrose 5 Did fine then the usual daft mistake that he at least got back to concede a corner. hard to trust.

     

    Biton 6 No time did nothing wrong. was OK.

     

     

     

    Decent away euro performance.

  15. ryecatcher on

    Good disciplined performance from Celtic…..

     

     

    Maribor aren’t very good and think any betting odds thieves will lump on Celtic at minus 2 next week….

     

     

    Pleased for Ronny and Johnny ( think his influence on tactics recently might be understated)

     

     

    Well done the Hoops

     

     

    Form is temporary and class is permanent from Beram Kayal

     

     

    Take a bow son……….

  16. Fassreifen on

    Remember Efe hasn’t had a break from football since Summer 2013. One of our most consistent players last season. You don’t become a bad player over two games.

  18. ger57 on

    Captain Beefheart

     

     

    Whit are you all about? You spout almost as much drivel as the Daily Mail, just like an ex-poster on here called John O’Neil.

  19. Beamishismypint on

    Stefan McG and Kayal excellent. Seems RD has learned about playing away in Europe. Got Izzy out of left back even though it took 3 positional changes. Money on us getting a new left back shortly.

     

     

    HH

  20. latchford on

    Great result,

     

     

    Defence still ropey

     

     

    They have to score

     

     

    Wish our CEO had helped the manager with investment. It’s unbelievable considering he sold Forster and Watt.

     

     

    A packed Celtic Park will be crucial for the Team.

  25. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    The first half was weird. Can’t believe Maribor’s reticence to put pressure any pressure on Charlie and the other defenders when we had the ball. Celtic’s defenders should have done a Bertie Auld and sat on the ball.

  26. Jeg er Delia Smith on

    Hopefully Ronny is smart enough to figure out a system that puts our most dangerous players into areas where they can have most impact – to me that is Commons in around the edge of the box and McGregor wide on the rights and in the area.

  31. masty is neil lennon and both of us are supporting wee oscar on

    Malarkey

     

    good account of the game i saw.

  33. Marrakesh Express on

    Who was the cqn’er in the brazen tonight?

     

    My wee mate clocked you typing furiously.

  35. hun skelper on

    the comfortable collective

    Afraid not mate, we’ll never get to those dizzy heights in out life times, we’re stuck with champions league football HH

  36. Joe Filippis Haircut on

    connaire12. I agree surely we have better why not play Mulgrew at left back and Biton and Kayal in midfield. H.H.

  37. Hrvatski Jim on

    Get McGregor on a long term contract.

     

     

    Every fan needs to get to the match next week if at all possible. We can terrify them.

  40. thehoopedduke on

    Good to hear Ronny about Gordon’s hunger and being a leader, I can see that and we need it, hope he stays fit, a real asset

  41. ryecatcher on

    Thought for a while Kris would be a good impact sub at home in Europe…..

     

     

    Good decision not to start him tonight

  42. Ginger on

    Glad for kayal it must have been frustrating for him knowing he couldn’t get back to the player he was but he’s getting there hopefully he’s back to the pre elbows form
