    Your boys took one helluva beating

  2. Neil Lennon is building a team to compete at the highest level of the game.

     

    That was a top class performance, it will go down as one of the great Celtic performances in Europe, just magnificent.

  3. Wonderful result and a lot of grit and energy shown by Scott Brown, Mikel Lustig and Gary Hooper. Above all a wonderful show of attacking intent by our young manager. So much for parking the bus, eh Kev?

     

     

    Usual nervy CQN commentary reading back, Starts with – “god, we’re rubbish- who can I blame?” and ends with “tears of joy- I never doubted that

  4. A lot of us just had that wee feeling that said, ” We can do this.” And we bluidy did!!!

     

    The Bhoys! The Manager! ALL the back room Bhoys and Ghirls! The greatest in years.

     

    I feel choked.

     

    HH!

  5. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    First half we looked very comfortable but our class came through.

     

     

    We are a classy wee side,it gets hairy at times but we compose ourselves and build.

     

     

    Great result Celtic,proud as punch!

  6. Bring on the Barca!!

     

     

    Seriously though, that result and performance tonight will have the squad buzzing. They’ll not be short on self belief for the rest of this competition after that.

  7. Really well executed game plan with Samaras and Commons closing the space and protecting the full backs; so well that McGeady couldn’t get into the game.

     

    Following on from the Motherwell game we can be more confident in the return to form of Izzy.

     

    Also a mention for Lustig who was solid and composed. The inclusion of Ambrose as CB has immediately improved the team as we now has two players in the centre with recovery pace.

  8. What a perfect start to my evening and there is much more to come as well! It’ll be a late one…

  9. What can anybody add to that wee piece of PARADISE.

     

    Possibly the most exciting game EVER.

     

     

    I am a geriatric Young Celt again on this delirious evening.

     

     

    God Bless the GREAT Glasgow Celtic.

     

     

    Well Done Lenny’s Lions.

  10. fighting the fuzz

     

    >>>>>>>>>

     

    You got all that spot on. A magnificent team effort.

     

    Hehe….I bet Aiden wishes he was still with us….hehehehehe…….

  11. My post was halved in two. Should have read :-

     

     

    Wonderful result and a lot of grit and energy shown by Scott Brown, Mikel Lustig and Gary Hooper. Above all a wonderful show of attacking intent by our young manager. So much for parking the bus, eh Kev?

     

     

    Usual nervy CQN commentary reading back, Starts with – “god, we’re rubbish- who can I blame?” and ends with “tears of joy- I never doubted that player I was blaming” :-)

     

     

    Well, I doubted too. Well done to those who were confident and well done to Zbyzsek for his description of the Spartak style and danger men- spot on.

     

     

    We beat a decent team, assembled with lots of money [note to Sydney :-) ] and Ari, Kallstrom and Kombarov were on the top of their game.

     

     

    Superb!

  12. People rightly praising Lustig for a great performance. Also Hooper simply cannot be overlooked for England now.

  13. The belief in themselves is building–they not only beat Spartak, but the referee as well. I couldn’t watch added time. Took the dog round the block, put the kettle on,then refreshed CQN. That is massive. We’re back in Europe and playing football the Glasgow Celtic way. I’d love to know what the Sevco fans feel like now. I’m just glad we’re not playiny Forres Mechanics. Now there’s a tough outfit.Anybody notice a penalty shout in Forres versus Sevco? Not much talk about it.

  14. Thought Mikael Lustig was immense tonight too.

     

     

    Had my doubts about him at first but his recent performances have been top drawer. He’s now showing us why he was brought in in the first place – very versatile defender.

     

     

    All in all though, just a brilliant all round team perfomance and SO SO GLAD to see SAMMI get the winner. LOVE THE GUY!!!!! Our Talisman these days that’s for sure!

  15. Gonnae watch the upcoming draw between Benfica and Barca…….

     

    load it on…….

     

    …..i don’t really give a #%*+…..we were brilliant tonight!

  16. Will be wearing my black away top at the Glasgow green tonight as I jink through the opposition defence just like the Celts of 2012. Well done Celtic !

  17. Now who was the gobshite on here last week that said Celtic would be make weights??? C’mon, own up!

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. Snake Plissken on

    The best thing about this result it is possibly guarantees European Football after Christmas.

  19. All hail Lenny, he has grown up

     

    With the team in terms

     

    Of tactics and execution. To leave samaras on was a masterstroke, I was saying he was tired get fresh legs on!!!

     

     

    Forrest made an impact and he took the 2 players on a booking off

     

    !

     

     

    Love respect and time should be given to Lenny
