I think the combination of Thursday's game, the slow plastic pitch and a very well organised Livingston team made us come unstuck today. There wasn't the zip to our play that we've had over the past month but we still could have won it and were probably unlucky not to. Top of the league, take the point and move on.

12 Nov 2018 08:18:26
Not really one for excuses but that pitch is god awful.

12 Nov 2018 12:42:35
Luck was on Livis side here, At least one of our shots would have normally gone in.

12 Nov 2018 12:44:48
How can you promote Scottish football when the authorities allow plastic parks in the top flight. it's a nonsense. you could clearly see we couldn't pass the ball on it.

12 Nov 2018 13:42:24
We need a state of the art #hit plastic pitch to train on before these games.

11 Nov 2018 18:08:27
Where's Magicpole and Johnymac? Never heard from them for weeks, they usually appear after a couple of dropped points 😂😂.

11 Nov 2018 17:23:49
Thete are two ways of looking at SPL table today. From one perspective the facts are (1) the huns are only two points behind (2) they've scored considerably more goals 32 against our 27 and (3) have the same goal difference + 21. This is being interpreted in Govan as meaning that they are coming. OR from another perspective (1) we have had a poor start to the season until recent weeks (2) we'd our transfer windae panned in as somebody on here commented which I thought was a cracker (3) we got horsed out CL none of which did much for the confidence (4) the press had the dressing room split and (5) Rodgers leaving (6) yet we're still top of the league and they're no (7) there's only 12 games played and league means nothing as titles aren't won in November and (8) we'll be out of sight and romp the league over the season. The second is my interpretation.

11 Nov 2018 19:10:05
5 goals more isn't considerably more, they only scored 7 today after they got another penalty and Motherwell went down to 10 men, until then it was 1-1.

11 Nov 2018 20:45:18
Reckon Tim will have had his usual bet on that 'double whammy'.
We have been absolutely magnificent in recent weeks and even though it was hard going today, we had enough possession and chances to win. However, we go into the enforced 'waste of time' break, top of the league where we belong and come back ready for another three away SPL fixtures in a row (outwith the Hamden cup final and a EL game in Norway) ) that the SPFL random fixture computer has thrown up.
Next home game is on Dec 8 against Kilmarnock - but skint, travel weary supporters will be glad of the three home games in a row after the winter break in January, unless there's another beast from the east blizzard and they're postponed until the week before the CL qualifiers ha ha?

11 Nov 2018 17:12:00
I swear to god our CBs are cursed.

11 Nov 2018 17:24:34
That was a sore one Ajer got Kev.

11 Nov 2018 17:37:37
Ajer has broken eye socket. Probably needs surgery.

11 Nov 2018 20:47:54
its a race to start between compper and biton…. efe on loan anyone?

11 Nov 2018 16:29:36
Sorry have said this before but bain is never a Celtic player and lustig is pants needs replaced oh and ajer is not as good as people think . rant over top of the league and they're no 😂😂.

11 Nov 2018 17:01:02
Can I just point out the irony that you've picked out 3 defensive players as not being good enough on a day we didn't concede :)

11 Nov 2018 17:10:04
Would rather play Bain than Gordon. Ajer is a decent prospect and the 3rd best CB at the club. Agree with Lustig though waste of a shirt along with Sinclair.

11 Nov 2018 17:10:17
It’s a crisis, split in the dressing room, Rogers must go! 😂😂😂😂😂.

11 Nov 2018 17:12:40
Bain played well. Yes ajer is.

11 Nov 2018 17:33:33
Bain had a few excellent saves and Ajer had a few excellent tackles and is improving all the time. Lustigs best days might be coming to a close they do for all of us but for me he’s been a great servant that has come to love the club and deserves to see his career out at Parkhead. As they say though opinions are like aholes we’ve all got one.

11 Nov 2018 18:41:47
sorry jfp but can't agree mate, i like big lustig as much as anyone but if he's past it he's past it mate and should be let go never mind finishing career with us he's only 31 and could still pick a wage up for 3-4 years not for ne im afraid.

11 Nov 2018 19:04:20
Lummy you’ve got a point my friend that’s a totally reasonable perspective. The reason for my view is we often complain that there is no loyalty from players but loyalty is a two way street. I’m sure we’d all love KT to be here for life even though we know that’s unlikely. But if I’m KT and I see Lustig punted after giving his best years to the club i’d be thinking well there’s not much loyalty in that direction. 👍.

11 Nov 2018 20:57:06
yeah i see your point bud, but just think wages these boys are in they don't or shouldn't be given an easy payday, i even was bit peeved at henrik getting the million pound bonus fir staying extra year if it went ti charity then fair dos but just think these guys get paid very well and if they're to be replaced to make us stronger then it needs to be done and agree about KT but that laddie will go for serious money and will def play at the highest level every week . after 10 iar 😜.

11 Nov 2018 21:16:10
I’d give him a job for life after he stole that polis hat in the Sevco rout last year. I get what your saying Lummy and he is nearing retirement but he could probably still offer cover in the RB position whilst mentoring his replacement and I totally agree with JFP about loyalty to players. I think BR will take that into consideration in managing the situation.

11 Nov 2018 21:49:16
COYBIG absolutely new contract earned just for stealing the Polis hat and running past Joey the Budgie 👍☘️😂.

12 Nov 2018 07:50:36
pmsl ok ok i forgot about the polis hat and beach ball episode sign him up hahaha.

12 Nov 2018 12:35:44
Bain is too small he flapped at 2 easy punches and although i like ajer he doesn't have great pace.

11 Nov 2018 11:47:07
It's hard to listen to em two clowns Boyd & commons.

11 Nov 2018 12:09:02
Hope Sky doesn't get the TV deal.

11 Nov 2018 12:54:43
I have heard that sky won the bidding but not much extra from last deal. SPL should say no deal until they up the anti but you know they won't "no balls" There are other options today Run the tv output for themselves then we can play the games when they want and offer great packages I for one would rather pay for an exclusive SPL package.

11 Nov 2018 13:58:16
On a footballing note-thought we were garbage today.

11 Nov 2018 14:14:04
We were definitely off the boil, with a couple not at their best, but the super-human effort on Thursday, that farcical bumpy-bouncy pitch and a very well organised defense were other factors I'm sure.
Can't complain one bit after what the team have produced in the last six weeks and anyway, that draw takes us top with a game in hand.
All that remains is to thank BR and the Bhoys for getting us back to where we belong and withdraw the players from EBT Utd lol.

11 Nov 2018 14:29:51
I don’t subscribe to SKY or BT as I refuse to find the EPL. I would happily pay for an exclusive SPL package and I’d willingly pay more than SKY or BT currently charge.

11 Nov 2018 16:14:09
Totally agree, sky has held back Scottish football for years. At least BT sport promoted the game and showed good coverage. As for the Muppet's in sky what can I say that hasn't been said before.

11 Nov 2018 18:47:17
The promotion of it (or lack of) isn’t the biggest issue for me. It’s the fact they put £1.7bn into English football and £30m into Scottish football that pisses me off. That’s the main reason clubs in the second tier of English football can pay higher wages than we can.

11 Nov 2018 09:18:28
Good luck to the Bhoys today, I'm sure we'll prove to be too strong for Livingston. Think there's going to be a few changes today due to the Artificial Pitch. We certainly don't need any more injuries.
I urge all our fans attending the game today to please respect the Minutes Silence and don't give the Media a bigger stick to beat us with.
I won't be wearing a Poppy as I have my own views on that. But I also won't bring our Clubs good name down by not staying silent.
COYBIG 🍀🍀🍀.

11 Nov 2018 10:11:16
well said GT10.
Poppy? it's a personal choice.
I am on a couple of supporters sites and some of the hate and bile coming from so-called Celtic supporters on the subject is dreadful.
Anyway, it's about picking up the 3 points today and getting Celtic back where they belong TOP of the table.

11 Nov 2018 09:00:33
Is it just me or has anyone noticed that after the european ties on thursday celtic always have the earlier kick off.
