Rangers? That wasn’t even a Basket of Assets

891

They can call themselves whatever insolvency practitioners allow them to be called, but even the court assertion, that Charles Green bought a Basket of Assets, not a football club, seems overly optimistic. That lot look more like a Basket of Liabilities than assets.

I told you Joey Barton was a good Celtic man, there to take their money, and self-respect. Their big former Arsenal centre half is four years younger than our big former Arsenal centre half, but good grief! You could forgive him for being short of pace, but acting like an immature simpleton is unforgivable.

Moussa Dembele’s Perfect Hat-trick (one with the head, one with the right, one with the left), was a charm. We watched Henrik give us so much, he deserved to score a hat-trick against Oldco Rangers, but the history book was closed on that one with Harry Hood’s in the League Cup in 43 years ago.

I have witnesses to saying “We’ll have to settle for five instead of seven”, when hearing Leigh Griffiths would miss out today. Dembele (20), put in a performance which defied his inexperience. He looked like the £20m player some think we’ve signed. What’s more, he’ll continue to improve.

Tom Rogic had clearly been identified as our most dangerous creative player. He was hacked throughout, before retiring early in the second half. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton were also on top of their game, controlling the crucial central area.

Both full backs, Mikael Lustig and Kieran Tierney, got assists, as they created width to allow the central players to do their stuff.

Brendan Rodgers will hopefully highlight that the only two attempts on goal we conceded came a moment after we scored, near the end of each half. Teams notoriously lose concentration after scoring.

I’m off to find out who their no. 4 was. I’ve him down for two assists on his own. Liabilities, to a man – the keeper apart, who did well.

  1. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    A perfect day.

     

     

    Celtic – the club – were brilliant.

     

     

    Brendan for the culture and game management he has brought.

     

     

    The players for their commitment.

     

     

    The fans for there songs and banners.

     

     

    And, especially, the stadium announcer who didn’t mention the ‘R’ word once today.

     

     

    PS – thank you God for the sunshine.

     

     

    Hail hail

  2. Just watched Warburton’s version of events………………..that North Korea RSC banner makes sense now.

  3. It would be interesting to know what the ringers players thought of today’s atmosphere , guess we won’t hear until they are well away from the doomdome .

     

    Agent Joey might put his thoughts in his book …..

     

    ;-)

  4. Anyone have any news on the guy that collapsed in 105 today just after kick off, about 10 rows away from me? Paramedics tried to resuscitate him but it did not look good.

  5. Nye Bevans' rebel soldier on

    Goodnight Timland.

     

     

    We have a real game on Tuesday.

     

     

    Boxing GGG is 7/2 to win the fight against the British

     

    blow-up welterweight I’m on, mug punter I am.

  6. Reading RD, they seem to have a lot of aristocracy posting, they are calling each other counts in every post, at least I think that’s what they’re saying ;-)))

  7. Some FF clips, looks like the love in with Joseph is over

    Re: Joey Barton

     

    An expensive Ian black . That’s all he is for us

     

    _____________________________

     

    Hopefully his humiliation today will maybe have a positive effect on future performances and ramblings

     

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     

    Barton looks finished, him and Kranjcar should be nowhere near next weeks team

     

    _________________________________

     

    Terrible signings unsuited to the style the manager likes to play.

     

    There is no structure to this team what so ever.

     

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     

     

    Barton’s been rotten this season. Time for Warburton to grow a set and drop him.

     

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     

    Hes on 20k aweek and will play regardless of form. slow,poor first touch, terrible positional sense,An utter dud so far

     

    ______________________________________________

     

    frankly, he’s shat it here. He was expected to be the main man here and he just can’t do it

     

    _____________________________________________

     

    He is the only player in the squad who just might be slower than Clint hill

     

    —————————————————–

     

    utterly woeful in every game but that today was a disgrace of a performance

    ” the banners from the Green Brigade were total garbage apart from 55 possible points. The hun scum banner marks them out as bigots.”

     

     

    Singing about being kneedeep in fenian blood,or to surrender or you’ll die,die,die,or calling all catholics paedos,or effing the pope or any catholic or Irish person,or claiming ‘we are the people’,marks you out as a bigot(s).Calling bigots scum marks you out as observant.

  9. Though Stuart Armstrong did very well, playing in a natural position when he came on today

     

    Which reminds me

     

    Watched the Paul McStay story on digibox earlier, – Turks, documentaries section – for those who have that set up on digibox

     

    My goodness were were blessed with the PMS playing – what a player

     

    Mind you still only gets No2 in my list ( players I’ve seen in the hoops)

     

    With Daniel Fergus McGrain at No1

     

     

    Wonder if young Moussa will hang around long enough to get in my top 5

  10. glendalystonsils on

    Just watched Warby’s interview with my mouth hanging open. I thought we played well today and blew them off the park but I obviously don’t know my fitba.

     

     

    Mark McGhee took his hammering well and admitted they couldn’t live with us. Even McInness was more even handed after his hammering, but the master of respect made NO concession to the fact that his manky monkeys were thrashed by a vastly superior team.

  11. Just watched those highlights from GG, That wee garner is a thug of the highest order. He will get cause trouble up here and hopefully get kicked back down south. Horrible wee guy, but of course he a hero in the making for sevco. It’s funny how there definition of a hero and ours differ. :)

     

     

    Also Kranky on a yellow than two bad fouls right after before he feigns head knock for the second bad foul, Only for wee wullie to crap it and smile at him.

     

     

    Their goal looked aff as well.

    What a huge day in Moussa Dembele’s career, well done son.

    ————————-

     

    A bit OTT Roy C he scored a 3 against a 3rd rate team…fek all to shout about.

  13. COWIEBHOY on 10TH SEPTEMBER 2016 8:23 PM

     

     

     

    McStay will always be my greatest ever Celt. Loyal in an era when everything was stacked against him.

     

     

    1. McStay

     

    2. Jinky

     

    3. McNeill

     

    4. Larsson

     

    5. Dalglish

     

     

    Not a bad 5s team

  14. thomthethim for Oscar OK on

    Glen’s tonsils,

     

     

    He did praise his team’s support, though, just before he excused ” frustrated” Dave.

  15. What is the Stars on

    Glendaly

     

    Warbo can’t admit they are useless. The People won’t accept that. After all they are RANJURS

  16. G64

     

     

    I thought you were chasing my tail…..when I doubt go into “protect mode” read back

     

     

    No probs here fellow Celtic fan :-)

  17. Great quote in the Dembele Dat article:

     

     

    “Joey Barton made a big thing about “being in a different league from Scott Brown” a month ago. If he continues to play like this and his team-mates don’t raise their game, he will be absolutely right!”

     

     

    Sums it up precisely!

     

     

    FAC the Act

     

     

    KTF

  18. Warbo full hun conversation complete, Aye he does see things differently. Fool of a man and it shows. Our Brendan out there at ft shaking hands with the hun players and even wee wullie.

     

     

    Anyway on to the big game this week. Barca rested a few and See how brown and Leigh are. I am thinking don’t risk either and keep them for games we might get something from. Barca will be very tough, so not worth risking either Bhoys.

     

     

    Enjoy yer night Bhoys, Hail Hail!!!!!!!!!!!!
