Colby Donovan. Outstanding prospect
Definitely. Just 20, less than 40 appearances, the consistency will come.
Celtic40 me,,,,,,,,,,I agree.
Also with Donovan.
Kasper has to be more mobile in the box ,other than standing at the back post very static , has to anticipate where any ball from wide or any area into the box ,other than blaming that the crosses are poor.
Before I go
3 top picks for jobo.
Only takes a min and anyone can vote.
POTY competition sencelpoty@gmail.com
Baur,is a find.
Ref decisions being done on guesses and hunches.
And bias.
McFadden defending the integrity of linesman decisions.
That sfa and tv soup must be real tasty !!
Btw, Hogh plays a part in the goal and sets up what should probably have been a second.
PeterLatchfordsBelly
The camera angle we saw was quite conclusive.
The ball was still in.
That ball is only out if you want it to be.
Better second half. Donovan makes mistakes but at 19 he is going in the right direction.
Jamsie is a piece of class, the real deal.
Mhueka is a real find. He would destroy der hun.
Tough 3 points but next May they will be important whilst we will have forgotten the game.
Best performers , Hassan ,Baur, Donovan , Forrest. Tounekti improved as the game went on , as did Murray . Some poor finishing and cheating from linesman/VAR kept the score down to one . Even then , Duran and Mheuka could have wrapped it up for us if they’d been brought on 15 minutes earlier .
Big Shim hsd a very eventful 14 minutes. Really,I would start him on Sunday,but we wont.Remember when Griff was out,and we had to start Dembele.Fekin hat trick.Destroyed them.Shim is not a gamble.Sunday,,,,,,,,,,Hassan,Shim,Duran.Let them cope with that movement..
Donovan and Murray are still both developement players , Trusty not reliable and LS is not a left back , great as a group passing sideways and back until they give the ball away then is panic everywhere.
Quadro,,,,,,,,,dont involve the Ref in the chalked off goal.It was the linesman,and again VAR had no view of it.Guesswork VAR.If you dont know,just guess.
CCV is not back to his best after serious injury , but the backline is not as secure without his reassuring presence . Neither Trusty or Murray can provide that reassuring presence in the centre of defence , although Scales comes a bit closer IMO

“3 points but that was rubbish. We have players running into the ground to compensate for our lack of ball winning ability.”
________________________
According to BBC match stats Celtic made 8 tackles and won just 1 of them. Saints had 12 and won 9. Though I’m not sure how much the referee awarding a fk against Celtic players every time they make a challenge contributes to that low success rate.
Yep I said guesswork.
Officials, refs, VARs; they’re not reliably trustworthy.
Making 5 changes tonight was a ballsy call.
It gave game time to some and rest for others.
I’ll be surprised if I see that team again this season.
Hopefully it helps prepare us for the 3 games ahead.
Win all 3 and it’s 🚀🚀 🚀
MoN not happy with the strikers.

Agree with all of that.
Donovan and Murray are improving but mistakes are there.
Trusty. Great if no opposition is near him. Otherwise…FFS!
Scales seemed to just meander about, especially in the first half.
Mmmm.
LS spent more time playing in midfield tonight as he did second half last sat.
Fingers crossed for the weekend.
Night all.
Hassan,IMO,is one of the smoothest dribblers,I have ever seen.Inside,outside,hardly anyone can get near him.His movement protects the ball so well.He is an Artiste,and the biggest steal we will ever get.
Players rested,fit for Sunday.Totally different team out.Whats not too like?
If I had to put my life on that ball being in or out …I’d honestly go for in …Just can’t see how whole ball would be over the line !!!
Love Hassan….wait till he’s fit ..lol
TURKEYBHOY
Yes ,Hassan has a touch of the ‘Jinky’ about him with his dribbling . The other similarity with Jinky is that he’s not frightened of getting clobbered and he always come back for more . That’s the main difference between him and Tounekti.
Dane Murray is 23 still a development player….the bhoy has a lot of good qualities, defended high balls well tonight
Hassan has shoulders in him,won’t get bullied off the ball easily
regarding then goal – watch it again. the st Johnstone players do not claim the ball went out – not one! the goalkeeper had fun line of sight as the ball was above him. had he lost visibility , his hand would have been raised to claim out. only saint player to raise his hand was after seeing lineman with flag up! robbed again – watch out for linesmen this season !
The Ox getting kept for Sunday?
I suppose another way of viewing the three disallowed goals in the last 2 games is that it makes it more difficult for the MIB & VAR to give a dodgy decision against Celtic on Sunday. After all, these things when themselves out over the season. Don’t they?

Wow…
Two tricky SPL away games successfully seen out. VAR notwithstanding.
A chance to make it three away wins on Sunday in the LC. We have goals on our side, not so sure our opponents have though they will try to get forward which may well suit us. Might not be any Celtic supporters in situ at the kick off but hopefully there wont be many home supporters there as the final whistle blows…
We dont stop……
We’re running at a VAR controversy per game, and coming off second best,
Another tight win with some superb performances seniority wise from Donovan to Forrest. Everything goes down the wings or across the pitch, midfield creativity needs to be more direct, and through the centre. Baur CalMac and Sorensen were fine maybe in that order, with Mika’s first goal. Hassan was a provider taken off and wrapped up safely for Sunday’s sea of hate, the likes of which all new Celtic players, have seen before. Seb Tounekti had a decent game on the other flank, he can beat his man without needing to cut inside onto his right foot. James Forrest loves the air of Perth, now a minutes man extraordinaire, impact subbing was made for him the very epitome of pro-footballer.
Defensively too, midfield is lightweight and missing crunch, o.k. whilst In possession knocking the ball around, but a tackler has been absent since we’d nearly developed Engels, for the role. Baur had his best game so far, as Sorensen settles in, and could become very valuable. Nygren and Duran both mothballed for the oncoming foe. Did Sam Johnstone just claim the gloves?, looked the part and will likely start at IBrokes.
Gamble or shuffle by MON and Shaun it paid off, five changes, five subs, three points.
MOM Colby Donovan

* never seen before
Good morning all.Delighted with 3 points.No injuries from last night.Next up cup duty,at a posionous venue, go do it BHOYS.
Good morning CQN
3 Pts collected, but more questions than answers, the most important for me is the 4-3-3, time for a tactical change minus the wingers
VAR Incompetency reaching absurd levels
Celtic cannot remain silent on goals being ruled out by VAR
Ragers benefitting from VAR incompetency last night

St Mirren player is in on goal here if he’s not fouled.
Trusty given a red card with Hearts player not in control of the ball, St Mirren player surely has an opportunity to drive in and shoot ?

Lint@Zeshankenzo
It’s in at the ankle, not a ‘step on the foot’.
It’s a penalty
Deek won’t find those two decisions “disgusting”

Every adult American will receive a $5,000 (£3,700) payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November’s midterm elections, President Donald Trump has pledged.
The controversial offer was made in a speech at the party’s first-ever convention in the middle of a US presidential term.
He offered no details on how the plan would work, where the money would come from – only that the money would have to be spent in the US.
