Home games against St Johnstone, Hearts and Aberdeen after facing Albion Rovers in Airdrie isn’t the most taxing period for a Celtic defender, but it would be churlish not to recognise Dedryck Boyata’s form.
The Belgian central defender has been assured and confident. His pace halted a sprightly Hearts attack and an ability to elevate his considerable bulk into the air produced the only goals against St Johnstone and Aberdeen. Without him our attempt on the world record for consecutive league wins may be over.
Is he the genuine article? Maybe. What we can say for sure is that he’s not the bomb-scare he was the previous two years.
It should be no surprise we missed so many chances last night, we were without four of this season’s top five goal-scorers – surely some kind of record?
Great for those who stepped forward when needed, Dedryck in particular, but I’ll be pleased to Leigh, or Moussa, or Tom, or Stuart back for St Johnstone on Sunday.

Dedryck Boyata has already said that Kolo Toure has been a massive influence on him and has assisted him in getting to where he is now.

I read somewhere that there was some talk of Kolo moving into coaching whilst at Celtic. If he can help Dedryck then he can help Celtic. Hope Kolo end s up as part of Brendan’s team. Very few black players get that opportunity, no matter how good, after they have stopped playing. It would be a great piece of management by Brendan.
Kolo has been as good for us as Wearie Dave has been bad for the huns :-)
DAVIDOPOULOS…
The loaf can’t be far off getting dumped.Don’t think he’s manager material,seems like the wrong jobby for him.Probably be better as a number two.

Aye, they should replace him with Brown before they really hit the skids…

Gotta love this one
” some roaster at the work about 15 months ago “We’re playing like Bayern Munich”
I noted when Dedryk first arrived he would get himself into the right positions when defending set pieces and pop up in the right place to cover developing defensive situations.
I think he has it in him inately or was well coached somewhere.
Honestly I did.
A memory as tight as my left fist.
SP- loving their pain more each day
A young mother was pushing her baby along the street in Edinburgh last night when suddenly a huge rottweiler dog lunged towards the pram, gnashing its teeth.
The young woman thought for a moment that the dog would kill them when suddenly a man rushed over, wrestled with the rottweiler and broke it’s neck with his bare hands.
Another man rushed to the scene and said, “I am a reporter from a reputable Scottish newspaper and I saw everything that happened. Wait until I put the headline in my paper.
It will read ‘Hearts fan saves baby from savage rottweiler!”
“No you can’t write that!” replied the man.
“But why not?” said the reporter.
“Because I am not a Hearts fan, that’s why!” replied the man.
“Oh, okay then,” said the reporter, “I will write Rangers fan saves mother and baby from savage rottweiler!”
“You can’t write that either,” said the man.
“Why not?” asked the reporter.
“Because I am a Celtic supporter!” replied the man.
“Oh I see,” said the reporter, “How about this then, ‘Tim B*****D kills family pet!”
If brendan keeps improving players at this rate. ..
We may never have to buy another player again…

– All the changes to Hearts team must be an advantage for us. Just hope we turn up for this as we have been poor away from home. Think I will lump on Rangers at favourable odds.

– Hearts have been rank recently and our performances have improved IMO and the midfield is looking good, freeing up the forwards. I have a good feeling about this one and think we could roll them over with a heavy tanking. Definitely worth a spread bet at an index of just 0.3 goals to Rangers. 0-4 prediction here.

– Takes off the only two players with a hint of threat about them. Then eventually takes off Toral and puts on Holt who is just a far less talented version of Hyndman.
Utter nightmare of a performance from top to bottom and let’s be clear -Hearts are fcking pish. This is a riddy of a result.

We can debate where it went wrong, tactics, team selection, substitutions etc all night but it can be summed up quite simply: we are shite, and until we get both serious investment and a better manager then this will be the norm.

Second to every ball and the ones we got to we were bullied off it.
The manor in that defeat is telling. Players back heeling the ball round us, laughing, taking the piss and we just accepted it.
The way this told folds is extremely worrying.
Some of the things I seen tonight I tell my 10 year old son not to do.

– Not going to say that the players don’t care but it’s evident tonight that they had accepted defeat.
Rangers players don’t accept defeat. Championship winning teams don’t accept defeat.
Nobody in that team showed an ounce of frustration, anger or grit.
It’s not acceptable just to accept defeat.

‘JUST A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE,’ SAYS WARBURTON THEN RANGERS FANS REACT…

Nice one
Sandman excellent installation.
I think however that this is not an original work.
I remember a similar production about 5 years ago.
Different production company ( if memory serves) but definitely a similar cast and audience.
I look forward to the final performance and hope to gain as much enjoyment from it as I did in 2012.
The Onlooker
Afternoon all.
I am still apprehensive when we’re only leading 1-0 in games. Yet last night if we had won by 3 or 4, it would not be unfair to Aberdeen. That they were reduced to hacking to try and keep us in check says everything (to me) about how far we are ahead of every other team in Scotland. That the MIB gave them carte blanche to kick us off the park simply sickens me.
My admiration for our manager just keeps growing. The improvement he has made to so many of our players is amazing. (If Kolo Toure has had hand in this, all the better. Now, if only he could improve the passing of our captain and Joso,…..One can but dream.)
Sandman, take a bow for that, hilarious stuff. Been looking in on the “hunsden” on “hunmedia” and the hat is no longer Mr popular. Some are even talking violence and not just in regards to the hat!!!
On another note. When the original huns were in their death throes the DR pulled the comments pages to prevent the Tims flaying it into them on a daily basis. Today the Scotsman has pulled the comments from their rumour mill……………………………because the Tims were flaying it into them once more. Ha ha.
Great stuff from Celtic last night. Big DB is looking cool as a cucumber.
