Been dipping in and out of the two matches today and a question arose.Are we about to have a real fight on our hands for the league? There are a few reasons for me thinking this.
Firstly,both hearts and the sheep have young managers who like to play the game.Both have young squads with plenty running in them. Yesterday proved we can sometimes be caught with a third runner,especially one with pace. If both teams play with three up,and both managers have said they will,they will have chances.We need to kill teams off quicker.
Secondly,Aberdeen have quietly built a pretty decent squad,solid with a bit of experience to bring in when needed. The way they overcame a nightmare start in Europe,almost Celticesque in an away game,was impressive. Throw in what by all accounts was shocking conditions,and it makes it even better.
Third,Europe. Cl or Europa there is always the travelling factor.Some players need to step up and maybe Ronny needs to be a bit more cautious in his approach.This week we don't need to chase,why risk four attacking players? Stiffen the defence and midfield and use the same system in tough away game at home.This let's some players have a break and freshens them. I think we may well be in for a bit of a season y'know.

Do people forget that we beat Aberdeen every game last year? I think overall it was 9-1 in our favour. How all of a sudden are people fearing the worst? I am one of only a few supporters on here that backed RD from the start and said he would come good and he did. Towards the end of the season we played some brilliant football. Give it a couple of weeks and we will be back in the groove. Hail Hail

He hasn't come good yet and I doubt he ever will, forgive me but a new management is what celtic need before they invest in any more players.

Sackthe board; I admire your optimistic approach but I honestly think we will get it a lot tougher this year. I also know we did beat Aberdeen in all league games, but to be fair we carried a slice or two in periods of these games. Maybe I am reacting to a pretty lethargic,for the most part,game v County,but I worry about not killing teams off quickly.

Not deliberately luring you out DN old mate just genuinely not a fan of the present regime.

If Aberdeen qualify for the UEFA League we will win the SPL with considerable more ease tha last season . If they don't we will still win the league by 20 something points.
Maybe some posters feel better with getting negative posts off their chests .
