Barcelona next . I actually think we are a better team and they are not as good a team at the time we beat them 2 1 . That saying there is still a massive gap between the teams . I think we'll see a little bit more of the ball, and without doubt require a large slice of luck but Celtic beating Barcelona on Wednesday certainly wouldn't be the biggest shock of this year.

not to shure mate Suarez is different gravy.

20 Nov 2016 00:56:05
Pumped! That's what we'll get.

20 Nov 2016 01:37:56
That's the spirit ged u stay nice n positive ma man 😂.

20 Nov 2016 01:53:29
They are a more clinical team now.

Any reason messi not playing last night.

{Ed001's Note - he was sick.}

20 Nov 2016 08:50:12
Cheers ed hope it's week long sickness if u know what a mean.

{Ed001's Note - I would be far more worried about Suarez than Messi if I was you. Barca are (almost) certain to be the better side with or without Messi, so it is a goalscorer that you want out. They do not really have someone else to sniff out half chances and put them away, as was shown against Malaga.}

The only thing I will be demanding us we out up a fight. The recent spate of missing chance after chance worries me. Against Barca, chances will be thin on the ground and our ratio of chances to goals in the last six games has been piss poor.

Let's be honest we need a win to have any chance to get third place and it would have to be against the best team ever.

Have a go. We will create chances and in a game like this making an arse of them as we have done too often lately is not an option.

Mon the Tic.

like ged said. Pumped is what we will get. We might get a goal at home but its gona be a gubbing.

20 Nov 2016 10:32:48
Saurez is a class act.

Damage limitation will be the order of the night. Our defences have shored up and gelled a bit since, this will be a test to see by how much.

20 Nov 2016 12:32:49
Can we know have both of them out Please.

19 Nov 2016 16:52:25
A see denayer having a good game for Sunderland in holding midfield today!

Could Celtic go unbeaten in the SPL this year?

19 Nov 2016 12:25:56
Definitely. If a remember right the odds were pish at the start of the season. Something daft like 4-1.

19 Nov 2016 13:02:56
That's right Steph. Not worth the punt imo, and that was then. Of course it's possible and we're a little closer now but I wouldn't be thinking about being invincible until a few games to go. So many honest mistakes can happen between now and then.

19 Nov 2016 13:42:59
Too much football to be played to be very confident but the team are in a very good place so why not?!

19 Nov 2016 13:47:12
Agree it would be a very hard thing to do, but we should have it as one of our goals for the season. Two or three more quality players and this will be our best team in years.

19 Nov 2016 16:55:40
I still say no, there's guna be one of those games somewhere down the line, as long as it's not against that manky mob from the dark side I don't really care

I think although we are comfortably ahead, there are some players that are blowing hot and cold at the moment and the unprecedented, heavy schedule of games in December will be a very tough ask?
There already have been a couple of games where we have had to dig-in for the win and I would hope we make a couple of quality signings in January to give us a boost and give the squad more options as there are certainly some still at the club who are surplus to BR's plans.

19 Nov 2016 22:15:43
They could but it is most unlikely, not only are all the other teams ou to beat them& of course that is their duty but other people also do their best.

19 Nov 2016 10:52:10
Although it was difficult to watch at times, I think we showed we can win games when not on top form, and against stuffy defensive opposition without ever having to push out of second gear. Kilmarnock played well and fair play to them, they managed to pressure is into a couple of good opportunities that unfortunately for them they didn't make more of, however I firmly believe if they had scored we had more than enough to produce a reply.

I thought mcgregor had a good game at left back and it's nice to see the likes of him and Armstrong show there flexibility within the squad. Felt Roberts looked stifled in the centre and looks much more effective on the wing. Anyway HH to another win, let's make it a week to remember. Bring on the Barca! 😇.

19 Nov 2016 12:13:46
i thought we started the game very well - considering the changes made and the tricky surface - and the passing/ movement was great in the first half and we should have scored one or two more.
The second half was a different story with players losing energy and making too many mistakes - giving Kilmarnock encouragement.
There was an excuse for the guys on International duty, but others like McGregor, Armstrong, Sinclair and Roberts also seemed to fade after an hour; although I thought Forrest, Lustig and Eric were excellent, whereas Boyata was very poor and never looked comfortable.

19 Nov 2016 22:33:37
Surface was terrible difficult to play on . Kilmarnock knew that so they didn't go out to play fielding two lines of four in defence with another player covering between the lines .
Players couldn't turn or change pace, therefore football wasn't pleasant on the eye .

I know most of us don't care what colour type etc. strip the players wear as long as they win etc. But 'Pink' Celtic jerseys!
We already have Scotland running around in pink nee-naw strips (playing like jessies) and now our third strip is pink. Is someone in the design team taking the piss?

19 Nov 2016 10:12:25
It's totally the wrong shade of pink though. It looks too similar to the Hearts colour for me from a distance. Don't get me started on our away GK that looks blue. It could just be my eyes mind. I was looking forward to NB but I don't like any of the three kits this season.

20 Nov 2016 00:15:14
There is only one colour group for Celtic Green and White Hoops . I have never seen another strip that I like .

20 Nov 2016 09:21:00
Got to agree with Old Bhoy.

I also recognise the financial aspect that shirt sponsorship means though.

21 Nov 2016 00:45:44
AYe Magicpole we should be able to continue bringing out new different versions of green and white hoops, to keep the sponsorship money flowing in.
