Delighted for Wales last night but what’s happened to Jason Denayer? Since ending his loan period at Celtic a year ago he’s made 15 starts for Galatasaray. He was hooked on four of those occasions, which is a high percentage substituted for a defender. Gala won their first four league games with Jason in the team but won only once in his final 10 appearances. The point was made to me last night that he looked overweight.
In his 12 months at Celtic he polished his rough edges and established himself as a top performer in the most effective defence we’ve had in years. Manchester City were not prepared to let him return to Celtic as the reckoned he simply wasn’t being stretched.
He signed a new contract at Man City before heading for Turkey, but their new management team are unlikely to promote him to their first team squad. He’s unlikely to have impressed anyone at the Euros and Galatasaray won’t be as keen as Celtic were to have him back.
Is it possible we’re the only ones who know what he’s capable of? I’d have him back tomorrow.

Another VIPbox seat for the Celtic game
Christie has had a shot and Ciftci just caught offside already but we look exposed at the back too

Vip won’t work on my lappy as I’ve got Adblocker Plus.
It’s asking me to remove it.
Keep the updates coming ghuys please!
Sturm Graz pressuring our defence now
Philbhoy just click to close down the close down request.
I have not had to close down adblocker
Their Nigerian CF is pressurising O’Connell and McCart
Quite a few long balls over the top from Sturm Graz
So far, we are still vulnerable to full backs going too far up the bark and being exposed on the counter.
Saying that, Janko has been our best attacker
A couple of good FORWARD passes from Biton there led to a chance for us. Cross looped over Ciftci’s head
This will take you straight to the game, no commentry.

I’ll try, thanks!
2 Better attacks from Celtic. Henderson and Christie trying hard.
Celtic’s best spell
McCart thwarts another breakaway with a headed clearance of a good cross.
Austrians happy to knock it long to expose our high line – a few big lads up front for them
Another counter attack almost caught out as this time they glide through the middle to cut us
Early days and all about fitness – final pass needs to be crisp. Liam Henderson & Ryan Christie unlucky with final ball a few times.
Overall hopeful we have a few young bhoy emerging as option in Brendan’s planning fir the season
Great effort from Ciftci- muscles his man over and a delicate chip just fails to clear their defender
That should have been 1-0 Celtic
The young centre backs have settled and are passing the ball well out of defense
Ciftci hits side net
Unlucky
Cifti should of scored. Round keeper into side netting
HH
Ach great move celts – Ciftci rounds keeper but hits side net
Great ball in from Ryan
Oh Dear, shift key misses a sitter, after good work taking it round the keeper as well
Ciftci knocks it round keeper but puts it wide
We are starting to get on top but our young CBs are going to have to stay on their toes
They are playing Matic’s wee brother- decent player
Lively enough game (without the sound)
Strangely the more experienced midfielders have been less involved
Janko – great strength to get in and cross
Powerful lad happy in final third and attack – if he shows same class in his own third it wil be like a new signing …c. M Hately ;-)
Ciftci will improve with good coaching.
Needs to make better choices of areas to attack and play across defenders.
Janko showing promise
HH
Terrible corner by SJ.
High,floaty and wide.
Celtic 56% possession
Excellent drive from midfield by McCart
Getting stronger as the game goes on, only a mistake will see them scoring imo.
Great run by McCart from own end.
Young guy has excellent feet
George mccluskey obviously doesn’t rate Cifti
McCart great run at pace from centre and wee pass into their box but ni movement from Ciftci – and he knows it hanging head
Tap in!!!
1 nil RC scored
1:0 Christie
