Very professional performance. Boyata solid again and deserving of his man of the match award, Bitton i thought made some fantastic tackles and played some lovely balls throughout the 90. Tierney quite simply the best leftback in the UK at the moment (What must he be worth!? ) . Gordon although didn't have anything to do tonight was good with the ball at his feet. All in all everyone played well including the guys that came on. HH

Said it at the weekend but Henderson always impresses me . His fifteen minute run out tonight, he showed again good vision, lovely weight of pass. And created a good few chances for the team . Hope he gets a fair chance now for the rest of the season, but again another good solid performance. We just look so comfortable against everyone in the league. I just hope the management and certain players don't get too bored with the league as I look forward us getting better over the next couple of seasons

Agreed Quinn he had some nice touches, some great build up play between himself and Roberts. I thought he might go out on loan but glad he is still with us Rodgers can take him to the next level. HH

Think Celtic have to start looking at Jamie walker as a serious transfer target. Would be much stronger with him in the middle instead of bitton and mcgregor

01 Feb 2017 22:09:48
I thought Bitton and McGregor both played well tonight.

01 Feb 2017 22:11:45
Agreed RG96 🍀

01 Feb 2017 22:06:56
He's a winger

02 Feb 2017 00:26:17
Thought about this last week but is he another GMS or a PR only BR will know and time
Would rather keep PR.

I know i am going to be shot down for this. What about Ciftci starting up front tonight?

Let me explain first the team did not quite click on saturday until the last 15 mins Roberts did very well playing out of position but he did not bully the defence. Next Aitchinson is going to be a first class striker maybe even taking over from Dembele if we can keep MB for another 18 mths, but he is still young.

Lastly Nadir would get a big lift from being selected and could be encouraged to run and fight his heart out, pulling and pushing the Aberdeen defence every which way.

Has not Gordon, Boyata, Simunovic, Isagurrie, Biton, Armstrong, Macgregor, Henderson and Forrest all came back better players after it looked like they had no future under BR

Acht give the lad a chance, I'm all for giving chances, also even if he does not score there are still plenty goals in the rest of the team

01 Feb 2017 18:06:28
Not likely to happen but in the spirit of 'chances'ynot

01 Feb 2017 18:28:43
I think this will be our toughest game for a while and with the injuries we have and lack of striker, it's quite possibly the type of midweek game we could drop points?
Forrest has been abysmal for weeks and is overdue a decent game - or give GMS or someone else a jersey.

01 Feb 2017 18:40:04
Good substitute to have incase any the sheep are needing the teeth sunk into them. joking aside tho all they guys and fringe players who have came in have also done us proud this season and have stood up and been counted when its mattered and helped us keep the run going so mabye big ciftci could sling a suprise lol

01 Feb 2017 19:48:18
Cifci might give us a bit of bite up front Kev 🍀

01 Feb 2017 10:03:46
Don't know about you bhoys! But I'm glad that transfer window is over. Not bothered about no one coming in, just glad the board stuck by BR word that no 1st team players were leaving this window. As much as the speculation excited me around big moussa. I'm glad he's still here, at least until the end of next seasons CL qualifiers (I hope).

Also of note, we've loaned the bhoy fasan to port vale, strange lol. Hope big efe goes to Blackburn and does well, always liked him as a man but his time with us was over after fenerbache. Hail hail lads. Onwards and upwards. If that's even possible. As you can tell, yes, I'm on the swaldo 👍🏻😂

01 Feb 2017 08:15:25
Never known the establishment to be so scared of our success. We usually have them trying to destabilise our team during transfer windows but yesterday was unbelievable.

Craig Gordon
Kieran Tierney
Erik Sviachenko
Joso Simunovic
Muossa Dembelle

All linked with the premiership this will get worse as we inevitably approach ten in a row. I suspect it will get dirty really dirty with negative stories in MSN constantly and players who are settled continually linked away.

They hate the thought a young player or players love it in Glasgow. They hate the thought we are going to eclipse the old clubs best efforts. They hate the thought that questions of stripping titles will happen if thier appeal is thrown out on the tax cases. That would also lose them thier most successful club ever boast. Hate the fact we all know they are a five year old club but most of all they just HATE us

{Ed001's Note - this is nothing to do with establishment or any other ridiculous conspiracy theory. It is all about money. It is clickbait to get you and others to read their sites and view their ads. I can understand the temptation, because it is bloody hard to get a decent amount of page views without using clickbait tactics, but it is not because you are hated. It is quite the opposite, it is all about knowing you have a large fanbase that will look to read any old crap about your club to keep up with the news.}

01 Feb 2017 09:38:15
I think there is a large element of this that your right about ED but I also think there is a huge element of collusion with ibrox particularly traynor that drives a lot of this

{Ed001's Note - sorry but you are being ridiculous. I hear the same thing from every team's fans, how the media hates them and it is all a conspiracy to target their players and unsettle the team. There is no such thing happening. It is simply a bunch of hacks making up nonsense to earn themselves money. It is little more than a scam, imo, by newspapers etc, that really should be illegal, as it is certainly immoral.}

01 Feb 2017 10:38:12
Scottish media been biased against celtic for as long as I've lived know a guy who works at the DR and yes he's a blue nose and he's told me as much

01 Feb 2017 12:12:58
Gotta agree with u ramgo mate! . can u imagine what it will be like if we play the sevco in a hampden final for our treble lol it will be honest mistake madness on a level never before seen and that takes some doing

01 Feb 2017 12:20:08
Is this the same media that's saying our boardroom is in pieces, aye it's biased ok then. Why do read the media then i know i very rarely look at it because i know what they were like during the past 5 years, dearie me

01 Feb 2017 12:53:53
Saint monkey (apt name btw) the last 5 years the media has given u an easy time every criminal tax dodger been lauded as your saviour, when will they call out sir David for his mismanagement or the glib and shameless liar for well for everything, I wait with baited breath HH

01 Feb 2017 16:13:46
So what mally, I know a linesman who is plying his trade in the spl very well and he is as much of a Celtic fanatic as I am but still makes every decision with 100% honesty.

01 Feb 2017 16:38:41
So monkeyrfc your saying you don't read the media because they have been biased against the rangers for the last five years?

01 Feb 2017 18:50:59
No what im saying is both our clubs supporters shouldn't believe any or try to use media sources as the truth i know it happens on both sides, i used the past 5 yrs as an example of why i wouldn't trust any media, we all know that if its peaceful it doesn't sell, glamorous outbreaks of shocking headlines sells

31 Jan 2017 23:48:56
Commons Ambrose and Ciftci all staying put. Hope BR sends them to train on their own for the rest of there time at the club, they are taking wages under false pretenses

01 Feb 2017 09:23:31
We bought them and offered them those wages. Not their fault they are with us. Bit harsh.

01 Feb 2017 09:34:20
These guys have contracts so why should they leave if the moves not right for them? wide comment!

01 Feb 2017 09:28:32
Jonace why? We were perfectly happy to give them the contract they are on, none of them have caused us any problems in the press to the best of my knowledge and all three I'm sure turn up and train like true professionals and all three would be more than willing to play against Aberdeen tonight unless injured. We would be the first to complain if dembele or siclair threw there toys out the pram and acted unprofessionally if they wanted away so it works both ways .

01 Feb 2017 10:22:01
Can you explain why it's false pretences?
As far as I am aware they turn up to their job everyday and do the work ask of them.
Are they not honouring their contracts some how?

01 Feb 2017 12:14:48
Nonsense. None of them have demanded to be transfer listed as far as I know. None of them have said they hate the club and don't want to be part of it. All they want is 1st team football and they won't get it here so why not explore finding a loan deal. Every one of them will take a pay cut when they leave us so if nothing better or similar is offered why walk?

31 Jan 2017 23:22:19
Disappointed not to get another forward in, pretty strong everywhere else bar the front line

31 Jan 2017 23:11:16
Given the opportunity to sign one, Hayley Charlie or the other one, over to you bhoys

01 Feb 2017 09:46:20
Eh? 😳
