Back to earth with a bang.
That line up was a head scratcher.
Complacency will be the only thing that will stop and today was one of those moments.
Yes I will be called a panic merchant but with our league form, and sitting here tonight can everyone say with hand on heart that the league is in the bag.
The next 3 game could put us out of site but it could also put us in the shite.

I can see your point as we have drawn five HOME games already (two against St Johnstone) and it does seem that the manager and players do take three points in certain games for granted.
I also think that we are very thin on the ground to attempt who;esale changes like this as this Thursday-Sunday scenario has affected us this way in the past and it definitely gives BR a reminder about playing his strongest side where possible and keep the focus.

Have we got another week of this pish? Yes hand on heart the league is in the bag, wish all the panic merchant panty wetters would stop coming out with this every time we drop a couple of points. We're actually a point further ahead in the league than we were on Friday.

My take is that we have rarely got out of second gear this season. However, we are still 9 points clear in the league and seem to raise our game when we play the other teams that have potential to challenge. Not only that we are starting to get players back and I would be surprised if we don't finish as winners with a double digit lead. If we take full points from our next 3 league games we will have buried the competition, beat Morton and we should only be two games away from back to back trebles.
Yes we were below par today, which is normal after a hard fought European game but the ref didn't help our cause by not punishing persistent fouling. That being said we are 1 point further ahead of our nearest rivals after this weekend's results. Personally I am glad Rodgers rested our main players today as Thursday's game is far more important.

That was a very flat performance and the atmosphere at the ground was poor. After hearing the starting x 11, I still thought that Team was good enough to get us 3 points ( how wrong was I) .
We certainly missed the influence of Scott Brown. He would’ve let a few of the players know they needed to get their finger out. We’ll see the difference with him against Aberdeen.
It just wasn’t a good day at the Office.

Too many changes and a few of the changes can’t cut it. That was clear in a piss poor show. I wish he would give the team a run without so many changes. Got it spot on last Thursday, totally blew it today. 7 changes is just nuts and cost us two points. Poor poor show.

A second rate celtic team should be beating at least the bottom 8 teams, we are not talking a second rate tic team today, lot a big players and talent out there and on the bench. If a manager has to make so any changes then it should be done gradually, say 3 changes to the start team from the team that played and win on Thursday, and if we go goals up then introduce another 3 as subs during the game. we can't beat a team in Europe and then don't get a result in our own league then blame the Europe game or tired players, i know teams are sussing us out, but we must suss the out aswell. We had a couple of chances which could have swung it the other way for us today. WE just seen the future celtic, hail.
