The champions dominated and won their opening game of the season, made a shed-load of chances and we all spent the final 10 minutes on edge, fretting every time a Celtic player lost possession, which was frequent, or failed to clear their lines.
I am assured every Norwegian would expect Kasper Hogh to score several goals from the chances he got on his Celtic debut. Instead, he passed up most of the aforementioned shed-load and left frustrated. The old adage about strikers holds, at least he was there to miss them. He will score plenty for Celtic.
Isn’t it good we’ve got a proper target man up front? The lack of familiarity between Kasper and his more established team-mates was evidenced by the frequence balls were played short when Kasper pushed long, or vice-versa. Less than a week at the club, this will hopefully resolve, expect improvements for Sunday.
Camilio Duran had hands on knees, a sign of exhaustion, long before he left the action on 78 minutes. I did not see him preseason, when he played and scored on each occasion as the main striker. He looked less suited to the winger role. Options up top were lacking last term, at least that issue has been resolved.
As was the case so often last term, Benjamin Nygren was the man with the plan to win the game. The timing of his run to meet Kieran Tierney’s cross was worthy of the points, he made impressive work with the finish too.
Dundee, playing their fifth competitive and ninth game overall in five weeks, were clearly fitter and it is no surprise Celtic struggled to dominate the closing stages of the game. These early season tests against lesser but energetic Premiership opponents are valuable. As long as we get the result, of course.

Auldheid….yip
Those in charge of running and managing Celtic should be putting out the best Celtic that they can.
If they can’t/wont then that is a Gross Dereliction of Duty.
The support has again and again backed the Club, whereas others have shown that they are not up to the task.
Shame on them.
Auldheid – we agree on many things. Howevvaaa, as an old Cqnr used to say.. judging them by their own words .. “The board recognises the inherent inefficiencies of holding excess cash“
The board have paid in excess of £30m in tax to HMRC in the last three years. There is no other reasonable explanation other than.. they’re inefficient.
I realise the balance sheet appears “flabby” and would have no problem about reducing the amount paid on tax, but it’s bemusing when virtue signallers shout about taxing anything that moves to fund the NHS, benefits, saving the planet etc. but consider it a heinous crime when Celtic pay tax.
Would it please them if Celtic find a way to incorporate in Monaco?
The Bloggger,
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Bernardo put on loan to a Polish side Gornik
Bernardo to Gornik on loan
We must have another coming in??
Clunks
Need to sell first 🙄
We just got rid of barnardo’s wages
Although to be fair barnardo has stalled in the last few years
(had high hopes for him)
our midfield is so weak just now it makes no sense to weaken it further without bringing in replacements
With Bernardo out on loan, the Ox is his replacement, one assumes?
Next Hatate and Engels: Bauer and another?
For whatever reason Bernardo was never given a real chance to establish himself. Mostly used as a bit part sub until last season when he virtually disappeared altogether.
Hope he can get his career back on track.
Wonder if DD was inspired by what Musk did at Twitter. Lay off most of your employees and plough on regardless.
What’s that now? 15 out, two in?
i’ve heard it all now…
Slagging off the folk in life who would like a fairer society for having the cheek to hope that their football club was run with a little more respect for the supporters and not partly to enhance the wages and bonuses of the “custodians”.
What a gaslighting cunt you are.
as for yer pal…
……..and as if by magic rent-a-domo appears.
Brilliant 😂
clown
iI your aim is simply to fish, wind-up, increase traffic on CQN, knock yersel out. Either way, not a Tim by any means. Stick to the rugby.
Doesn’t even have a season ticket but never off these pages 🙄
Good luck to Bernardo, we only occasionally saw what he was all about. Fact is though for whatever reason he was no longer making a positive contribution to the team. He joins that gallant band, a lorry load and more, who only this season, passed back through Parkhead’s gates, without really making their mark. Not so much victims or casualties of Celtic’s scattergun approach to team building over the last 20 years or so, more collateral damage to a policy, supported it has to be said by Paul67, (who had a vested interest in it continuing) when all the evidence showed that access to the CL Group Stage was the best route to enhancing annual revenues. Not that Bernardo, Nawrocki et al were past their sell by date, but that the policy that brought them to Celtic most definitely is and was.
Had high hopes for Bernardo – decent technician – decent pedigree – shame. The Portuguese Donatti.
high hopes

*aye me tae and the same moaners went ballistic about EBTFC when they bent the rules, as a society we need everyone tae pay their fair share which is why there’s so much weeping and gnashing of teeth over countless tory governments cutting the billion/millionaires tax rates, parasitic effers.
Tontine Tim
I realise the balance sheet appears “flabby” (its obese lol)
our squad seems a little thin
And short of teeth
Considering the feasts of the champions league qualifier
i have always been bothered about anyone complaining about paying corporation tax.
to not pay tax we need not to make a profit in thst financial year.
to not make a profit we need to spend everything we earn while not selling players.
these complainers talk shite
i blame the schools
its not the paying
Its the unnecessary amounts
we must have a few places we could upgrade the infrastrucure
Or we could watch The stadium and footprint degrade
the squad fall deplete out the boards ass
And pay the taxes
why couldnt bernardo force himself into that poor celtic team ?
and now willing to go to poland.
the bhoy has issues.
like serrachi ownership.
stop jumping to acsom theories
Looks like some folk are missing the point completely…
1. not one single person is saying don’t pay taxes of whatever kind – happy to be corrected.
2. the argument for most is that the club is not run for any footballing ambitions.
3. only Farages lot, the Tories and the fuds down Glasgow Green the other week even use the terms “Virtue Signallers”.
I take it that StrawMen CSC didnt sign up to any of the Collective’s postings.
Presslley was better than O’neill last night considering the available resources.
Just an opinion
like serrachi ownership
What was that??
Houston dynamo baulked at (think it was) 60% of sarrachi’s rights
And we blew it out the water
I never figured out why they were selling players rights and not the fecking playerr

Marcelo Saracchi has completed his transfer to the Houston Dynamo from Boca Juniors, signing a three-year contract.Transfer DetailsFee: An initial $1.25 million (approx. £930,000) including add-ons for 60% of his economic rights.Contract Length: Three years.Previous Context: The deal initially faced a brief snag when Boca Juniors rejected an earlier lower bid, but both clubs successfully resolved the terms, ending hopes of a return to Celtic for the Uruguayan left-back
Dont worry, we’ll play AJ at left beck when KT is subbed, and when AJ leaves maybe Doohan will come on for KT.
thats what I dont understand
” 60% of his economic rights.Contract Length: Three years”
Why is that different from a standard transfer?
