    Not the way I like to see the hoops play but I suppose the result justifies the means.We are still short of a real class creative midfielder but well done Ronny and the bhoys I had my doubts but we live to play again. H.H.

    Referee even made a mess of blowing for full time.

     

     

    Thanks,bourne.

     

    I needed a laugh to relieve the tension.

  3. Phewwww….. 0-0 FT

     

     

    my head says that was a comfortable victory, as there were virtually no decent chances for Qarabag… but my heart thinks otherwise… a job well done by the Bhoys !

     

     

    Superb performances from most of the team, especially our central defenders, VVD & Boyata, and well supported by the rest of the defence – Bitton & Brown were fantastic in midfield… and solid performances from the remainder !

     

     

    C’mon the Hooooooooooooops !

    pros …

     

     

    1. we are through

     

    2. kept a clean sheet in an away game.

     

     

    cons …

     

     

    3. that was football to stun pigs by

     

    4 will be hammered if we play like that against a decent side.

     

     

    Today, number 1 is key, so celebrate. Tomorrow, we need to work on 3 and 4.

  5. Can’t see us rushing out a DVD of that game – thankfully we’re through.

     

    .

     

    Look forward to us drawing a team with a pitch on Friday!

     

    .

     

    H!H!

  6. Over the moon with result,

     

    But

     

    We really need to improve as a team in keeping possession of the ball

     

    Give it away cheaply far too often

     

     

    So who’s next for the bhoys :-)

     

    Where’s that Embramike when u need him

  7. BRILLIANT,

     

    Very happy,Johansen,and Forrest could have made it an easier last 10 mins,no matter,great result.

     

     

    HAIL HAIL

  8. Well done Celtic, my ticker can get to normal now,hard game to watch but enjoyable throughout the game, excited you bet. good draw tomorrow will do.

    I think that means we will be in Europe at least to December if not in the CL the Europa cup am I right ? H.H.

  10. TwoTunTimfromTeddington on

    Phew, well done Celtic. Thanks for all the updates chaps, very much appreciated.

  11. NZB - Beelin' and greetin' Troll Heids on

    MIT – I’d much rather see some pig wrestling than be stunned with one. Wooft!

  12. TheOriginalSadiesBhoy on

    We’re throughhhhhhh! Great controlled performance from Celtic! Virgil, Mikael and Niiiiiir. Superstars – all of them. What sort of chemical enhancement was that ref partaking of? We were lucky to get nothing from him.

     

     

    Well done Ronny and The Bhoys!

  13. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Let us not underestimate this achievement. A very challenging pitch, ref and hostile atmosphere.

     

     

    Great result, couldn’t give.a toss about performance.

     

     

    HH.

  14. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    The only agenda I have is the best for Celtic,over the moon we ‘ve overcome the tie and no disrespect to qarabag and the modern game but we should be expecting to progress this stage of the qualifiers

     

     

    It’s the next game I’ll be sweating.

  15. Thought Virgil, Boyota & Bitton were brilliant. You have to adapt to different situations and we adapted tonight and guaranteed ourselves at least 8 more European games. Yes we can carp and we do look a bit short of firepower but that is for another day. This was all about making the next round and we made it. Nothing else matters. I’m relieved and delighted.

  16. antipodean red on

    Well done to all our Bhoys in Baku tonight both on and off the park, Brown and Bitton superb but we really lack a bit of guile. Along with a few others we have played in the past few years, the opposition were extremely poor.

  17. Thought the Bhoys ran their guts out , what a shift they put in.

     

     

    At least 8 more games in Europe this year again.

     

     

    We need to work on winning 50/50 balls , got a wee bit pissed off at times during the game.

     

     

    The ref was a coward never seen him before at any Hammarby games.

     

     

    KTF

  18. Well done Celtic. Professional performance and result. Nearly there – yes, we’ll need to play better but we will be fitter and sharper next round.

  19. Had the day from hell today and been in terrible form. Everything that could go wrong did.

     

     

    So thank you Celtic

     

     

    We’re on the road again

    Good professional performance by Celtic in a difficult tie against the technically sound defensive Azerbaijan champions.

     

     

     

     

     

    Celtic supporters who watched the game at Celtic Park would have taken a 0-0 all week long for the return in Baku, but in fact we should have won both legs, especially from one of the two late Johansen and Forrest chances.

     

     

     

     

     

    Some class performances from Bitton especially, but Celtic are light years ahead of the side that crashed out to Maribor, after a year of RD and JC leadership.

     

     

     

     

     

    Full marks to BT Sport for tempering Sky bias, and filling the commentary with some Celtic thoughts.

     

     

     

     

     

    Looking forward to the draw, and then El Glasico.

     

     

    M.O.M Nir Bitton

  21. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Very well done Celtic. As comfortable as I can remember.

     

    Tactically spot on.

     

    Get Nir Bitton signed up long-term.

     

    Please…..

  22. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    Said on RS .. Guarantees a UC place .. Straight into the competition ..

     

     

    While they were discussing punting VVD .. Ghrrr!

  23. Well done Celtic, results are all that matter.

     

     

    We must getting a decent co-efficient with no defeats so far.

  24. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    Whilst .. Tally ho! ..

    Ronny interview coming up.

  25. mike in toronto on

    was suprised at the complete and utter lack of ambition shown by our opposition …. they seemed to have decent skill, and a decent set up, but never really seemed ‘to go for it’ … even when they were down a goal and time was running out ….

     

     

    having said that, we defended pretty well … agree with the comments that ML had a good game, and that Boyata had some nervy moments, but will be immense for us this season….

     

     

    but our forwards?! … they play like they have never trained with, or even met, each other before stepping on the park …. a forward/strkers coach is needed!!!!!!!!! whatever RD is telling or not telling, the forwards, it isn’t working.
