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!

Was one of Kev’s alternatives (players) the great Jon Daly
Kev is stuck in the past and like everything else our memory only remembers the good things, we block out the rubbish, and as you know we had to endure plenty of rubbish during the “murdo years”
Kev, I thought young Pedro Grant had a decent game against the mighty Sevco on Saturday, actually runs like his dad, who for all your slagging was a very decent footballer, head and shoulders above anybody in the Lanarkshire area of that time, but don’t let the facts get in the way of your view, considering McNee and Keevins are your idols !
Morning all.
Wild, wet and windy down here, as ever.
Celtic remind me at the moment of the Kelly Kids period: one week good, sometimes very good, the next, awful. Totally inconsistent. If we can show some improvement in the coming weeks, then I would persevere with our manager, if not, I can’t see him getting the chance of taking us forward.
We need a leader on the park; without Brown, no one has stepped up to the plate, imo.

Young Mr Grant should let Waghorn out of his pocket now after all it’s Christmas:))
Gerry, away n happy-clap yer pal Ronny….

Who said I was jesting ?……
Good morning from a cold and wet Coundon in Co Durham. I didn’t see the game on Saturday but my son was there – opinion is that Ronny is tactically inept!
I, obviously, want him to succeed but we are going backwards under his tutelage. I reckon if the Sheep had maintained their early season form and not hit their run of bad results Ronny could have possibly been getting his jotters this week. Big Sutton was getting pelters for giving his opinion after the Euro farce about removing Ronny now and rebuilding for next season – sadly he may just have been right.
As Cowiebhoy pointed out earlier about square pegs in round holes, football is essentially a simple game – play to your strengths and use players in their proper positions.
Hail! Hail! PMTYH (becoming rapidly disillusioned)

North Lanarkshire maybe but don’t forget the maestro was a Larkhall Bhoy

Just forge his signature!
I’m sure he’ll be happy to oblige if you pop into his usual haunt.
Meantime,we are where we are with Ronny. Let’s hope Santa brings him a run of victories. I know some will reckon it’s papering over the cracks,but I’ll accept that just now.
I certainly understand the calls for him to go,but I don’t think the buck should stop with him.

Mark McGhee led Aberdeen to a record 8:1 european defeat to Sigma Olomouc
He led Aberdeen to a record 9:0 defeat at Celtic Park
He was Aberdeen’s 2nd least successful manager, just ahead of Alex Miller
He is the answer to the wrong question
Interesting view from Catman that Johansen will be in the clearout list for January. Hints at an attempt to heal dressing room disharmony. Nothing clears that up quicker than a run of victories then everyone wants to play. Motherwell was a missed opportunity to restore that feeling- RD will not be allowed much more time by the majority of our fans.
Aff in to work now

The thought crossed my mind,wear your good trainers!

Mark McGhee, cuffed him that you wax lyrical aboot…..Ronny….
….or did ye miss that bit oot of yer wee anoraky compilation ?
Starry Plough
Young Peter strolled through the game, like you say Waghorn didn’t get a sniff, apart from his penalty miss
BT
Nobody could lace the Maestros boots, but Peter senior was a far better player than some give him credit for
Kev
Ronny isn’t helping himself with his rigid formation, for his system to work the 3 behind Griff aren’t scoring, personally I would have Stoke on the left Armstrong where he should be in the middle and Kris C on the right then the goals will flow, as for the happy clapping Celtic are top of the league so am pretty happy with that, prefer us to be playing better but hey ho maybe Santa will deliver that for me on Friday,
School run beckons, far better than work, how early are you allowed a beer when you are on holiday ?

I’m here, fellow eejit …… Was at the game and, with us playing at 1 mile an hour, Motherwell played with purpose and pace …simples, really…… We need to get the finger out …. VERY disappointing ……but, like your good self, I continue to support the BHOYS to the hilt ….. (Looks like the meeja are again winning their psychological war with a Celtic manager )….. Now, away off oot, and gie us awe peace …..hahahahahahaha

Blatter and Platini banned for 8 years
FIFA ethics committee bans platini and blatter from football for 8 years
Celtic linked this morning with another Walsall player. Are they the new Dundee United? Romaine Sawyers, St Kits & Nevis international, attacking midfielder. No doubt earmarked for the left wing slot!!!

It’s time they disbanded FIFA and start again. No matter who gets presidency will be tainted by all of the corruption that is now coming to light. They have all been part of the corrupt organisation for years and said nothing. Same as Coe at IAAF, tainted.

So Platini the man who was going to introduce Financial Fair Play gets banned for 8 years for taking a bung, that we know of. Just shows you how corrupt football has become. ‘Twas always the case in Scotland! Will we see justice doled out in Scotland? – Absolutely (NOT).
Morning Bhoys a nice morning here in Central Scotland. Im off to Ayrshire today to visit family before Christmas. H.H.

St Kitts?
Joan Armatrading was from there. She was a fine player in her day!
Morning
Not a good one either as the highlight is a trip to the dentist.
Not much to cheer on her either as the ‘Better the devil you know’:defence is advanced for Ronny . Which sums up a dismal state of affairs.
I was never too sold on Ronny when he was appointed but was won over to a degree by some good displays in the first quarter of the year. However post Quarabag things have begun to unravel. Good performances in the home games with Aberdeen and Dundee aside performances have been lacklustre. The promised high tempo , pressing game has been notable by its absence, the team looks as unfit as it ever did under NFL and tactically we are stuck in a straitjacket. I do not think it is all Ronny’s fault – a scouting system that brings Ciftci, Boyata, Cole and Blackett to the club is failing even more than Ronny is and there have been injuries that he could have done without but when you are being outwitted by Mark McGhee then I suggest you have a problem.
I do not know who you get instead of Ronny – that would come- but carrying on with a man who has become a laughing stock in the wider world seems fraught with risk
Good day

Safe journey, and enjoy …. JINGLE BELLS
Peter Grant was a mainstay during the Huns 9 in a row,how a player of such limited ability,played so many games for us,contributed to a very poor period in our history.
67HEAVEN. Thanks fella. H.H.
Defensive mid – give Efe a run in that position. He is too good to be discarded.
Question
Why did we sell
Adam Matthews
Great player
My friends in Celtic,
So FIFA “ethics” committee bans Blatter & Platini for 8 years as well as imposing a fine on both.
Compare what they have done to what 2 daft boys have done. Who deserves indefinite or life bans more?
I am not defending the 2 Dafties, but a sense of perspective must be applied. I also wonder if our previous fines have topped up a few pension pots.
Domestic footie corrupt, European footie corrupt and World footie corrupt. Sad.
