What was the point in getting rid of Neil and putting Kennedy in charge, there has been no change, he plays the same system and players and stands at the sideline with his arms folded, the sooner there is a clear out the better, Turnbull, Taylor and Griff apart it's been a long time since I've seen a Celtic team that looks like they can't be bother and don't want to put in some effort,

Under Lennedy watching Celtic playing is now a form of self harming. The end of season can't come quick enough.

Can't be bothered and don't want to put in effort describes Griffiths to a tee. He'll be one if the first out of the door when the new manager comes in.

I see that Christie has his critics on here. But in my opinion there are players in that team that should go before him.

He was brilliant Brendan Rodgers, so if we look at the bigger picture it must come down to how Lennon wanted him to play.

Lennon has a lot to answer for. The word Legend gets used to easily. He is never a Celtic Legend, Legends are the Lisbon Lions and Henrik Larsson. Lennon simply cannot be mentioned in the same breath as them.
Hail Hail 🍀🍀💚💚.

Will you take a long look at yourself boruc. lennon made some mistakes yes but he will always be a celtic legend. I said it before and I'll say it again, it's the players fault. Some wanted away and were made stay for 10 but refused to play.

21 Apr 2021 21:43:23
Well that was woeful again, players don’t look interested, nor do the coaching staff. Slow obvious build up, allows opponents to get men behind the ball. Struggle to break through, let cheap goals in . You could write the same script every game, when was the last time we scored a goal with fast attacks or breaks? The Sevconians aren’t that great but at least they break with pace, it’s like we need to score via passing through their whole team in defence .
It’s atrocious.

Is John Kennedy taking the piss
You don't watch your boss get the sack for playing a style of football and think that copying that style will change anything!
This has snapped me tonight, only bringing young Dembele on creating some natural width shows the difference wide players make by harassing full backs and causing cbs to panic and cover, without that it's just shocking.
Cricket is more entertaining than watching us pass the ball from side to side and back again and back again because we don't play wingers to get add players.
When will someone come in and change this utter pish.

I can see loads of changes for the last 2 games of the season after our visit to Ibrox.
Brown will still play in his last game for the hoops at Celtic Park.
There will be messages of appreciation for Broony around the stadium from the supporters.
It means Soro won’t get a start until the last game of the season, which is unfair.
When Lenny left, I wanted Soro to get as much game time as possible to see if he’s capable of stepping up for next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 19:46:34
Line up a joke even if we win why not give new lads a chance Kennedy has learned nothing.

Anybody on here still think JK is a great coach? 👍.

21 Apr 2021 19:53:34
Play rubbish at the weekend against Sevco, and you will still play on Wednesday, Kennedy knows he is going at the end of the season so he plays a lot of players that will be away also, will they actually try tonight, only time will tell.

21 Apr 2021 19:59:55
Agree Buzz, it's absolutely crap.

spot on Auf if he does not make a move for pep and have him in the door next week with a war chest of 1 billion mckay should be shown the door. and if desmond does not show ambition this summer with making a move for haland he should sell his shares to the fans wile we are at it if the away strip is not a good one this season we should also sack the kit man.

Celtic have played Sevco 22 times since they eventually made it into the top league.
Only Dembele has scored against them from a corner since then.
Moussa scored a header for the opening goal in the first league game at Celtic Park against them and he also scored a shot in the first half from a corner in our first league game against Sevco at Ibrox in New Years Eve 2016.
Celtic had another 9 corners in that Ibrox match and a quick look at the head to head meetings on Flashscore, I noticed Celtic have now not scored in our last 132 corners against Sevco Scotland.
That statistic shows the type of players we need for next season.
We need a striker who is dangerous in the air and the same goes for our new Centre halves.
With the amount of corners Celtic create, we need to be more dangerous in the oppositions box.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

21 Apr 2021 13:09:45
BB it’s clear that we are desperately missing players who are good in the air and actually want to win headers and attack the ball and your stats back this up, we also struggle defending corners and free kicks so signing these type of players would help in both boxes.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 13:30:12
Being so weak in the air - in both boxes - has cost us dear. The old adage of getting the spine of the team as strong as possible was never more appropriate to our current plight. Quality goalkeeper, centre backs, balanced midfield and reliable, strong strikers would all have made such a difference and the new man must rectify this.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 14:15:55
That’s true Kev and OAB.
It was mentioned that Tonev was Peterborough’s best defender at corners.
Celtic need MON type signings at both ends of the team.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 14:27:09
Agree with that, this lot are weak.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 16:11:54
Was that not meant to be the point of duffy? When Broony is seen as the best player to mark the danger men at corners its clear we have a problem. Broony moi and welsh are the only ones willing to attack the ball. Agree that it needs rectified in the Summer.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 16:18:26
Onceabhoy your right about us being weak in the air in both boxes.

Edouard was that woeful at Ibrox last Sunday, for corners and set pieces Duffy upfront for last 15min may have been better for high balls. The worst thing about what I have just said is I can't believe its got that bad that I've had to suggest this. Not an ounce of quality we have in Striker dept.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 09:42:38
If we alongside rangers where offered the chance to play in the European super league would you be happy to do it. Or is it a big no. Curious if it's as big a resounding no as it has been down south.

Absolutely detest being mentioned in the same sentence as the cheats, although I would be very happy to leave them behind with their SPFL/ SFA minders in this corrupt country and play elsewhere. However, this will never happen as long as Celtic are happy to be associated with their 5-way agreement accomplices.

know that the super league looks to be not happening after pundits fans and players down south all showed there discusst to the greed unfairness of it. will they now stand with all the other leagues who have been left behind due to the unfairness of how the big tv company's pump billions into there leagues and rig the champions league for them all to get passes into it wile champions off other leagues have to qualify they went on for days there about how unfair it was and football was finished are they willing to give up some of there automatic places to the champions of other leagues for fairness and none greed.

{Ed007's Note - No it wasn't it was a serious attempt at a coup, legal actions in London and Rome & club meetings are ongoing today. Do you seriously think Ed Woodward (Man Utd CEO) would have risked his job just to aid UEFA in a made up conspiracy theory?}

Am I the only one who wanted the super league to happen for the epl to crumble. The league and the big six demands have destroyed football for a long time. Now the epl may possibly have 6 teams in the champions league whereas Celtic might still have to qualify some years. The champions league has and will be revamped again to suit their demands.

21 Apr 2021 08:25:37
Big stubbs is right, this summer is the biggest in the last 20 or 30 years, and the longer the dithering the more players we'll miss out on unless there's something going on that we don't know about, hopefully all will be revealed.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

21 Apr 2021 08:36:51
Was astonished that the Board down to the players allowed the shambles to continue past October, when everyone could see there were very serious problems that needed attention. Here we are going into May after a trophy-less season, European humiliation and countless disjointed or toothless performances and wait and wait and wonder?

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 08:52:15
mally we are still playing this season of course there is stuff going on as ed007 pointed out the manger is gone so is the ceo and there is a new ceo in place so moves are being made just because we don't know who the new manager is yet doesn't mean things aren't happening soon as season is over that's when things will be announced. i don't see how this will make us miss out on players by not anouceing what were doing behind the scenes just because we want the season finished and a fresh season started means every other person in football wants that just now who ever is coming to us will sort it this summer after they have finished there seasons. just look forward to a new chapter this summer instead of going into panic mode we lost a league title we move on celtic football club lives on and will gain more success and cup finals in the future be happy your a tim mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 09:49:34
Mally, totally agree 👍. There will never be a better time.
This season could not have been worse;-
* CEO going
* Manager gone
* Captain going
* Several 1st team players going
* Out of every competition
* SEVCO winning their first title

The truth is we should have invested heavier and more wisely from a position of strength, that was 3 years or so ago.

The time is NOW, to completely overhaul, rebuild and re energise Glasgow Celtic Football Club.

Faith of Our Father's, HH.

21 Apr 2021 11:32:07
Recruitment should start after the jan window with a view to euro qualifiers, we haven't had a manager for 2 months, before lenny went he got the boy shaw signed based on my point above. unless Howe or whoever are pulling the strings we don't know, if not its a massive gamble, most teams will be sounding out agents about players for next season just now.
The longer this clusterf@ck goes on the more worried am getting.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 07:04:11
I'll be interested to see what team JK puts out against Aberdeen.

Good opportunity to play some youngsters from the start and get a few on the bench but I doubt he'll do that, Brown will play and I fear the 'sick note from Oz' will feature at some point around 65mins.

Kennedy is apparently sitting down with Dominic McKay this week, I'd pressume tomorrow or Friday, I hope he's escorted out the building after that meeting.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

21 Apr 2021 08:12:12
Kennedy made the wrong call playing laxalt and it cost us the cup, only himself to blame everyone and their granny wanted Taylor.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 08:20:15
The ones who are leaving put then on the bench tonight have some balls kennedy, see who we have got left. See if Kennedy has got any bottle left include putting on we dumbelle It's our forward line who are broken. If we don't score we don't win. We leak in goals yes but if we also don't score we can't Scape it back. that's mainly down to sitters and penalty misses it's getting embarasing for our forward line.
Griff new eddy was not right to take the penalty he is not in a gd space now and should have been taken off this would let him know he has to fight to be a Celtic player. I hear ntcham coming back. If I was the captain I would put both of them in there place, they are not better than Celtic and better up there game but what makes it worse Kennedy keeps playing eddy just incase he scores, should not be on the pitch. I bet if he did this type of think in the French squad they would let him know instantly at this rate eddy Christie ntcham and a few others are ruining there careers.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 09:15:29
Mally playing Laxalt wasn't the reason we lost the cup there was a multitude of reasons. Sure it didn't help but it was a poor performance all round.

21 Apr 2021 10:52:55
Kennedy is only a yes man. The guy hasn't a clue how to many and some of the rubbish he comes out with is unreal. How he thinks that certain players should be playing is hard to understand. I won't be one bit surprised if laxalt is the only change for the Aberdeen game. I just can't wait for this sxxt season to be done along with the current management team and players who want to go. It just shows how rubbish the league is that we are so bad and still finish second quite comfortably. Whole thing is a total shambles.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 11:33:32
SOS get it mate we missed the games best chances but am convinced if Taylor had played we wouldn't have lost the goals we did.

I’ve asked this before and it’s the question for the board to pull their hair out . who? My. Indy (and I dont gamble is Steve Clarke ) . Who else? . No one on this site has came up with a realistic name.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Apr 2021 09:54:08
Steve Clarke is a big fish in a small pond type manager

Wouldn’t be able to cope at Celtic

It’s going to be one of these 3

Howe
Keane
Maresca.

21 Apr 2021 02:25:27
After last game, I would be happy to see a good few dropped from team for next game and banished for good. Only thing to play for is stopping them going unbeaten in league, which I can't see happening.

Would drop Laxalt, Kenny, Brown, McGregor, Christie and Edouard.

With squad we have I would go

GK Bain

LB Taylor
CB Biton
CB Ajer
RB Welsh

CM Soro
CM Turnbull
CAM Rogic

LW Elyonouassi

CF Griffiths

RW Forrest (if fit)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Apr 2021 07:09:13
Too weak in middle of the park in my opinion for a team against Aberdeen. Think U have to go with two sitting and for me they should be Soro and Mc Gregor with four front men of Christie. Turnbull. Johnston
Griff.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Apr 2021 08:03:15
why does everybody keep putting mcgregor in their team selection?
This season i do not remember 1 game were he stood out, in fact i would go as far to say he has been rank rotten all season. He would be out the door with the rest of the dead wood.

So UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has stated the Champoins league and other European Competitions need clubs like Celtic in them. So why I ask are we made to compete in 4 qualifiers to have a chance to do so? The whole system needs revamped. It's no longer a Champions League as the majority of clubs competing are not the champions of their country. Now is the time to fix this.
