There was plenty to fret about in the first half. Celtic’s passing was hesitant and unable to prize a solid Motherwell shape open. It wasn’t until Yang competed for a loose ball which never should have been his in stoppage time before the break, that the game changed. Motherwell keeper, Oxborough, tried to make the ball his, but only succeeded in clattering into Yang. Arne Engels scored with the resultant penalty kick.
Nothing worked for Daizen Maeda in the first period, but when Liam Scales got a near-post flick on a corner early in the second, Daizen was all alone to head into the empty net.
A refreshed-looking Reo Hatate came on just after the hour, along with Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn. All three improved Celtic, as the game decisively slipped away from Motherwell. Kuhn, on his return from injury, and Hatate, scored late on to emphasis Celtic’s strength in depth.
With the two teams below them both losing, Celtic’s lead at the top of the table stretched to 12 points. The title race is certainly not over after only 17 games, but this Celtic team have a formidable look about them.

Morning all from my attic in Louisville.

Football is not standing still, the growth of European football will continue, it may not replace domestic football but then again it may. Celtic should be positioning itself for change. Building and improving infustructure around the stadium just makes good sense. No one can honestly tell me celtic have maximised the revenue potential it has at this point.
I have the unpopular view that if seats are sold and money banked that’s OK. It would be nice to have full houses every week, but again there are about 60 games over a 9 month period so it’s understandable that people can’t go to all the games.
In terms of cost, aye, it would be a lot of money to progress what i outlined but that’s normal in business and a good business plan with own collateral goes a long way. Here’s he cut though, spending and doing now maximises earnings and returns. On its own adding 8k ordinary seats and 2k hospitality seats on top of multiple new bars spaces etc and the outlay pays for itself in less than 10 years and keeps on bringing in missed income. Sell naming rights to stadium to help with costs.
Good afternoon from some café opposite the Crown Creighton.
Just hope we keep 11 men on the park today. They will be looking to send off a player so they miss the scum game at greyskull.
A plottting bunch of scum bigots

One thing is for sure Celtic FC are going to finish at the top of the SPL.
Lets see if we can finish on a high….
We will see how the midfield functions without Calm(ac)
Dropped the Dublin layabout aka Almore off at the Louden. I’m sure he’s having fun.
It appears the leak has been fixed. Been a wee while since the team was made public before being done so officially.

AND… here’s hoping Callum is not used or if he is brought on, he’s neither injured nor sent off. There are more big games than todays.

Sound post.
I think the crucial thing being an acknowledgment that although we may sell all pur tickets, we will not have full attendances.
I do not think that is an unpopuliar viewpoint. I would call it pragmatic.
