It’s difficult to analyse Celtic’s performance last night. For much of the game the players were clearly enjoying themselves and should have been rewarded with more goals, but Dunfermline were incredibly porous in central midfield. Ki and Commons were able to stage a passing master-class which was pleasing on the eye.
The fact that the deluge of goals didn’t come is not particularly concerning. Celtic don’t make a habit of profligacy in front of goals, making chances is more of a problem, so it would be a mistake to read too much into one game.
While Dunfermline were out of the contest for most of the evening they also retained two strikers, something we seldom see from SPL visitors at Celtic Park, so that fact that they were able to construct an attempt at goal five minutes from time was not surprising.
Celtic got what they needed from the game but Danny Lennon, who brings St Mirren to Celtic Park on Saturday, will also have seen enough to let him form a decent game-plan, especially if Celtic play a 4-4-2 with two wingers, as they finished the game yesterday.

Why are so many on here mocking the Huns for signing a player on a free?
—
He’s not on a free though.
RangersSone Aluko paid Aberdeen a compensation fee.pmslCSC

The fact that the player himself paid Aberdeen the compo fee, so he could sign for the hun is what most are having a laugh about.

Aluko is a great freebie…I’ve seen plenty of him.He’ll do ok in the Hun team…
——————————————
Yup, he will get them points now and again but it is a sign of the market they are having to operate in.
When it comes to replacing Jelavic etc it will not be with other £4M purchases.
was at under 19s first game against Barcelona noticed small midfield player spraying passes about did not see game tonight did anyone who seen tonights game notice him
What a great match between Nadal and Tsonga. One set all.
I do not rate Tsonga. What do you all think?
Time for a Tsonga Debate.
Ok taxi for me ………

If you mean Dylan McGeogh he was on the bench last night.

haha, that was typed wrongly – put it down to too many cheeky vimtos
googybhoy:
Please don’t start another Tsonga debate on here
Let’s forget about them and concentrate on the ‘Tic! After all they’re going to disappear in the near future. Looking forward to the weekend, St Mirren are playing the open, attractive football Dundee Utd used to play, a million miles from Motherwell and Inverness!
My guess is that DR will reveal that Samaras was on the grassy knoll, big Dan forgot Mother’s Day three years ago, NL is really a calm, unruffled individual and Sellick were too cheap to buy the footballing genius that is Alunko.
Support the millions on the 30th!
Googled Sone Aluko for third time tonight, forgot what I saw the previous times.
Not played this season.
2 goals in 28 appearences last season.
Aye ‘great freebie’ one worthy of a positive hun post.
Jeez
googybhoy
No waiting for a hour or so for you mi amigo :>)
For the late shift
Gotcha!
“We will all have laughed at Ant and Dec when they played “Gotcha” on some unsuspecting celebrity and are probably most familiar with the term from the entertainment aspect. However “Gotcha” plays its part in the world of football rivalry, in fact it plays a key part and unwittingly or not the people of Scotland have been caught up or dragged into, depending on one’s perspective, a huge game of Gotcha between Rangers and Celtic supporters.”
ajcfc – you lurking tonight?

How was that wrongly typed ? and as for the the cheeky vimtos, I’m only half piss*d………

The SNP was part of the Gotcha story (see above).
“Chuck Norris signs for the ranjurs……Sone Aluko heads for the bench”
Paul, in addition to the scrolling issue for Mac users with the advent of the CQN magazine, I feel I must also report a tendency for some pages to break free from their intended borders when using an iPhone.
This means that posts can only be viewed in horizontal mode and with a magnifying glass.
iPhone (3GS) users would appreciate any fixes you might be able to implement
Hail, etc…
auldheid…,
read it today, and everything in it made sense.
Last night after the game, somne one was on here berateing the Green Brigade for starting singing anti rangers songs, a supposed Celtic supporter.
So if we’re to stop offending anyone surely we should stop offending our own first, oh and after that where does it stop ??
Easy to start something, problem is knowing how to stop it.

More: wrongly read. I thought you were including me in your analysis of old peeps as it took me a chunk to respond to Tom.
Half, at this hour? Lightweight. Or are you on CET? In which case, I’ll give you an hour to catch up.
