Always good to put a few goals past that lot. Totally dominated apart from a couple of moments at the back when again there was misplaced passes that put us in needless danger. This game should have been done and dusted by half time. i thought overall we passed the ball well and kept possession well. Another amazing strike by Griffiths and a lovely gesture too i hope his family find comfort in what will be a very difficult time for them. One thing i notifed in the 2nd half was sinclair was being sucked into the middle so we weren't using the width down the left. Fantastic to see Paddy back and he was lively and made some great runs amd unlucky not to score. Agree with Man of the Match thought Rogic was the one who took control of the game, Brown was far to deep yesterday but its been a gruelling couple of weeks. Have to say the Green Brigade were brilliant. Finished the day back at Bellahouston, Biffy not my cup of tea but they are certainly good at what they do! Nice wee walk in Glasgow Green then back to the Burgh. All in all anothet great weekend, been coming here for 30+ years and never tire of this great city and great people. HH.

Stan19, see your point as we always struggle to end a game early.
I will however bear in mind we have played something like 15 games already so maybe feeling it a bit. Hopefully on our return, we can skelp them and end the contest in the first half.

Good result Stan after hard week. Would love to see us burst the bank to sign Paddy. The laddie is a phenomenal talent. Thought Grifiths looked a bit lonely and stranded up top. Sinclair looks a real talent but drifted out the game. Early days but Dembelle ain't shown me jack rubbish as of yet. Looks cumbersome at times. Toure is definitely an organiser at the back but don't see any of our centre halfs commanding their area and getting their head to every ball ie. Paul Elliot or even Bobo, Stubbs, McCarthy etc.

*that should read Dembelle ain't shown me jack rubbish as of yet.

Don't get me wrong guys it was comfortable, i feel at times we try to walk the ball into the net so would like to see more players hitting from distance like Griffiths. JFP. you forgot about Gillespie! hehe.

Mousse rubbish?
Scored a few, getting in amongst it despite restricted game time. Hardly rubbish.
Balde, Cole etc were rubbish
Bit harsh.

Dembele is still finding his way at a new club and location, he has a lot of potential and has already scored in important games.
Surely he must be better than Ciftci, Cole, Balde, Pukki and Scepovic.

I'd have started Dembele and Griffiths yesterday. Forrest and Sinclair barely used the width of the park yesterday it was only when Roberts came on we looked like doing something on the right.
28 Aug 2016 15:11:18
Maybe so, Stan19 remember the man on the right had scored a great goal in the first half and set one up.
28 Aug 2016 16:08:28
I think Wayne Biggins was even better than Ciftci, Balde and Cole lol. Then again maybe not Ciftci, Balde and Cole at least have scored for Celtic lol.

First half Forrest played well but 2nd half he went missing, agree with Stan regards Roberts, once fit has to be a starter as I feel he just gives us more than Forrest.
Have to say I felt when McGregor came on he kept things tidy n actually got his foot on the ball, it allowed rogic 2 go n play n 4 me we looked more secure.
Agree with u 2 old bhoy Forrest did well with his goal and assist but we need that 4 the full game, the wee man just needs to find consistency as he definitely has pace, he can best a man, cross n score when he is on his game, maybe a confidence thing which I'm sure the sports science, introduced by Rd n with br n his staff there is hope they can help improve forrests game n psyche as well as I do think he is a confidence player.
Loved the game yesterday, always enjoy playing the sheep n beating them, we were comfortable for most of the game n there r a lot of goals in our team, still think another striker needs added and there is still 1 midfield place up 4 grabs, specially with johansen leaving. Be interesting to see who comes in.
Here we go 6 in a row.

In the first half when we were all go and on the front foot Forrest was very good but should have scored a second . In the second half we were struggling to get procession and Forrest was off the boil . When P Roberts came on his speed and work rate against the Aberdeen defence which was itself tiring shifted us on to front foot
We are very lucky to actually have both these players.

To true Roberts will leave end of season (hope not) Forrest playing well, will be with Celtic for as long as wanted, so will get game time. at the moment deserves a place.
