Celtic’s preparations for the new season kick up a gear this week when they face Sporting at Estadio Algarve tonight, before facing Middlesborough at Celtic Park on Saturday. With so many players involved in the World Cup, work for the official kick-off has been restricted. There is only a friendly against Milan to come before Dundee’s visit a week on Monday.
My general rule of thumb is that good ‘results’ in preseason are unwelcome. Ange Postecoglou’s 2-6 hammering by West Ham five years ago was a welcome tonic in this respect. Kyogo, Jota, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Juranovic and Joe Hart would soon arrive to kick-start our current five-in-a-row run. I expect my rule of thumb will be facilitated by Sporting later. Maybe for the best.

Quality in midfield, both offesively and defensively, is our major problem
Our defense is being over run, due to lack of cover and pace in midfield
We have no viable and pacey wingers
Which means our striker is running about for nothing
Just weak in key positions
Luke misses a sitter
Should have been 1-1 . Luke takes too long with only keeper to beat
although mccowan should have levelled it
a rack of subs from celtic
ON
Doohan, Montgomery, Nawrocki, Hatton, Durán, Kennedy & McArdle
OFF
Sinisalo, Scales, Carter-Vickers, McGregor, Forrest, McCowan & Osmand
Stebhoy

Liam Kennedy 17 makes his debut still 0-1
Good goal Duran
Duran scores 1-1
Hungry, like a wolf
Well done that bhoy
Duran scores a Maeda
debut and a half
Manda like steal before splitting it away.
Duran doing a Daizen .
Should be Ok if any fighting starts.
Goal in your first few mins of a debut, set the young fella up for the season……hopefully
1-1 good steal from Duran, slots it under the keeper. he looks quick and lively. Kennedy in midfield looks a prospect – could send him on loan for a season and we might have another mcgregor type.
Welcome Duran
Celtic 1 Sporting 1
Terrible mistake at back and we are behind again
Doo han, right enough.
Doohan – keeper error 1-2
doohan dithers
dances in the sand….
Doh 2-1 sporting
Dane Murray as always bad defender ,needs to move on.
Dearie Me

duran steals the ball again in midfield – like maeda but more useful in the ball. THEN a calamity in defense – Murray and Doohan . defensive coach cannot make average players better.
Duran winning the ball AGAIN and starting an attack
Goalie made a right Harry hunt of that!
And now two behind. 3-1
