I don’t know anything about Stefan Johansen, who is one of several central midfield players Celtic are tracking, but I’m pleased we’re scouting for this area. There’s no question we are missing a penalty box predator but you could make a case that the sense of calm and control exerted by Victor Wanyama in the middle of the park is a more telling absence.
Nir Biton has all the potential to get there eventually but it’s going to take him time. He reminds me of Ki, who a couple of seasons ago was fifth choice central mid for Celtic, behind Brown, Wanyama, Ledley and Kayal. This season I’ve watched him collect and distribute, close space and bring shape to a struggling Sunderland team.
I’ve also watched a bit of Barry Robson since his return to Aberdeen. Despite his advancing years he remains one of the most intelligent footballers in the game. His arrival in the Celtic midfield six years ago changed Celtic into a winning team. You don’t need Pele for this role, just a tactically aware athlete.
How many accountants does it take to tell you that losing circa £1m per month is not a good idea? Lots, apparently.

Well done, Celtic babes
Such a credit they are.
Well done Celtic.
Superb performance from Celtic, every single player.
Hail Hail
What a great performance. Ironic that the only first team regular is the one to miss a penalty. Feel bad for James. All the Bhoys can hold their heads up high after that. A magnificent effort. Our club is in good shape.
Loved Amido’s penalty – that is a player with confidence.
Galatasaray win the Champions League.Well it looks like it!
Well played the young hoops
Im actually gutted!
Well played by Celtic, some great penalties, especially from Balde. Unluckily we did not take the chances we created in the game. Future looks bright with these young players.
Well done Cellic what a great outing and what great promise loved it.
Hail Hail the Celts are here !
Hail Hail the Celts are here !

Wonderful display from Celtic young Turks – well done
That’s why we have lennoxtown hh
Well done lads. Only positives to take from that. Unless you’re the MSM.
Really hope some lads are blooded in the first team now.
Call me cynical, but given transfer history, we may have to rely on our own.
Well done the young team! Bravo
Done us all proud with that.If im honest Id rather watch these hungry young upstarts!!
A cracking group neil has here.
Young bhoys can hold thier heads up high fantastic effort well worthy of the strip
Well done Celtic, a great effort from our young side.
A good week for Celtic.
Got to go to Embra! Later.
Thanks for first class commentary cqn’ers.
The future is certainly bright looking at that crop of players.
Well done bhoys
Well done the baby Celtic, unlucky no to get the result, all the youngsters including Forrest :o) had a great game.
The young Lhads made me proud…….
God Bless their wee cotton socks……………..
As I have been posting quite a few times recently, what has Balde to do to get a game ahead of Stokes and Co? He played well today against a good team and he took his pen brilliantly. C’mon Neil, give the big fella a run in the team!
Turks go ott for a 4 team compétition…..gimme some of what they are on.
Can hear Hugh Keevins tomorrow night- ” when will Celtic learn to take penalty kicks?”
Great game, IMO decision to go to Turkey totally vindicated.
Have we just had a glimpse of the future?
HH
Some of our starting XI will have watched that and will now be worried about how secure their starting place is !!!!
Murder watching ‘live’ on CQN for the first time. Sounded like a great performance so lots of promise for the future. Trip well worth it by the sounds of it so let’s wrap up this league title and give some of these young guns a run out in front of the home fans. We’ll done bhoys. Heads well up. HH
We’ll done to the young Bhoys.
Let’s see more of them this season.
A great footballing display both technically & ability wise from the Celtic Hoopsters mature beyond there years
Outstanding performance from the young players.
Fisher very good though playing out of position at left back.
Biton outstanding.
Henderson looks a real prospect.
Balde could become a really good player. Must get more games now.
Shame nice trophy
Have to say, James’ penalty ‘miss’ was actually a very good save
Disappointed for the team, great game to watch
Very Well Done, Lenny & The Young Bhoys
cliftonville celt – I wish you were right, but that’s not how Lenny rolls…!
