For those who weren’t there yesterday, Motherwell could have had five in the second half. Twice they were clean through with Craig Gordon to beat, but couldn’t, and on another occasion Craig was stranded off his line during a penalty box scramble which could have ended either way.
By contrast, Celtic were anaemic. We struggled to open a packed Motherwell defence –Nir Bitton’s deflected goal was a consequence of Motherwell having so many players to in front of their keeper.
Motherwell did well, Scott McDonald in particular, but they were repeatedly given the Freedom of Celtic Park. It goes without saying but we need to tighten up. A new system is required, one which will protect the defence. At the risk of sounding like the proverbial broken record, we need a defensive mid. Anyone can open us up without someone standing guard.
You know the rumour mill is doing its thing when you receive 15 texts on the same subject. Ronny is not about to leave Celtic.
Last few hours to order from CQN Bookstore before Christmas, orders accepted until 16:00 Monday!

Tabloid fables my arse!
Go to sleep my weary Provo…

CLYDEBANK CALLING!
Hail Hail mi amigo.
Evening/morning all. Just hame and not read back. In the absence of Broonie, could it be worth playing Armstrong in the centre of midfield? I think he has suffered since coming to us,getting papped out on the left wing.Imho he just looks lost there.
Naw?
ABURNTOUTCASE
Dunno,mate. But he definitely needs to do something to get his mojo back.
He’s been a major disappointment this season. And sadly he’s not the only one.
So, only last week I was told on here by a haunfy ah wise yins that…I belonged toa different time-zone and that, all todays ‘hip’ managers don’t play 4 – 4 – 2 anymore ?
So, who forgoat tae tell Big Mark McGhee boot it oan Saturday ?
a guid / savvy / canny / streetwise / fly- to the last 16 in the CLas-a-jiler type of manager disny stick to a rigid tactical formation….he makes the best of the tools that he’s goat.
If….Big Mark McGhee was our manager, with John Collins as his assistant….we’d already be through to the last 16 in the CL and be about

Rest assured that if Ronny is out these charlatans in charge will go for the cheapest option available.Collins or Kennedy.
~~~~~~~~~*++*~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty much my opinion from Day One,mate. I’ve said all along I’m backing Ronny because the alternatives are unthinkable.
Bobby
Ronny is unthinkable.
MACJAY
Mibbe so,mate. Mibbe so.
But you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Ronny isny the problem.
Lawwell and Park’s racketeering at the expense of the quality of the product on the pitch…is an aspect of the problem…imho.
The real problem is…Celtic fans = doormats.
Only you can change that.
Ronny will just spin what he’s told to spin by Lawwell….future strategy’s etc….a cute manager would be talking about lasting till the next game.
Any talk about strategy’s is Lawwell spin-puppetry…imho.
If, there are player in the dressing room who dont like John Collins….move them on.
Put it another way…..maybe the players in the dressing room don’t like John Collins coz, there isn’t one of them who cold lace Collins boots.
Who were the Hibbee players who went and stuck the knife into Collins back at Easter Road ?
Caldwell ?
Broony ?
Thompson?
etc…..
If I’m right about Broony….does that mean that Celtic’s captain is clique-orientated?
Is Broony in the clique that wants rid of Collins ?
If, Celtic werent managed along rudderless-ship-puppet-manager-confidentiality-clause lines, would we have had a ‘statement’ from the club outlining that…”Anybody who disny want to work with the management team can buy out their contract and leave.”
Celtic dont have any structures.
I’ve said often enough that, we’re an injury to LG away from a crisis….
Big Ciftci and, Big Cole would be banging in the goals for us just now if, Ronny was replaced by Big Mark McGhee….imho.
Problem there is….McGhee is nobodies mug…therefore, he’s not Lawwell material.
McGhee – Collins – Keane….any one of those Tims, would take the Celtic to a good place….imho
Thing is,….those Tims are nobodies mugs therefore, they’re not Lawwell material.
“Football without fans is…nothing!” – Mr Stein.
“Celtic Park without a Jungle is…nothing!” – KEVJUNGLE
I fear you may be right,Bobby.
And I do mean fear.
Big 4-4-2 McGhee will do for me…..
….and, Collins has to be retained at the expense of the hissy-fitters….
….go and rip their tights elsewhere….
We have the same disjointed team, each transfer season. Team is unsettled, who wants away / who is going?
Bobby
Heading up to the wilds of Q` land ramorra.
Might not get a chance to say it later,so have a great Xmas to you and all yours.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meet up in Machuills `tho way too short.
Cheers also to all the guys I met that day.
Paddy McCourt would have been like Deco under Big McGhee….imho.
Paddy McCourt would have been like Deco under Big McGhee….imho….
Gremlins again…..
Adam Virgo would have been like Barry Robson under Big McGhee….imho….
Liam Henderson would have been like, Stephen Gerrard under Big McGhee…imho…
Scepovic would have been like Big Viduka under Big McGhee…imho…
Lassad & Miku would have been like Pailo Rossi and, Roberto Bettega under Big McGhee…imho…
Willo Flood would have been like Gordon Strachan under Big McGhee….imho…
Big McGhee would have signed John Sutton and, turned him into a modern Norman Whiteside…imho…
Good morning from a dry, mostly clear skied, bit chillier but still positive East Kilbride.
Big McGhee widny have spat the dummy and got, two hurting-Tims put oot their jobs for criticizing Neil’s flops at the LCSF defeat to St Mirren – Hugh Keevins and Murdo MacLeod were the two hurting-Tims.
MACJAY
It was,mate. Indeed,way too short,but welcome for all that.
Enjoy my brother-in-law’s home state. He speaks fondly of it!
Big McGhee widny have been a cheapo and went roon the pitch doin the – Big McGhee Roar….imho…
Oh,and where are my manners…
MACJAY
A very merry Christmas to you and yours too.
Big McGhee played in front of the Jungle…Ronny didny.
When I was young and in my prime….a courted biddy McGhee….
Off oot afore it dons oan….Big McGhee…
…..laters….
KEVJ
I admire your consistency re McGhee. He is remarkably consistent too.
His win average as a manager is 38%,and it rarely varies much from that,regardless of which team he managed.
Sorry,bud. He wouldn’t be for me. But at least uou are offering alternatives. Few others are.
If only Mark McGhee had been our manager during the Willo Flood window things would have been different..
Thanks for the laugh Kev, we should get Mark McGhee is a manager and re sign all those duds to prove yer point:))
At least yer right about one thing God loves a trier..
Adam Virgo Ho Ho Ho He would be the Celtic Santa under McGhee I guess:))
