Great 3pts tonight on a dreadful pitch with a dreadful ref. Front 2 played well together. Griffiths owes it to Celtic to switch off from the outside noises and focus on his club. His histrionics are detracting and unnecessary.

22 Jan 2020 22:25:02
Griff and eddy showed promise with nice link up. Still not convinced with the 3 5 2.

Needs a better CB in there with Jullien. Simunovic doesn't convince me and Ajer is still developing.

I think it might not be that bad of a shout playing 352, at the moment anyway. It allows us to have two strikers, which domestically I've wanted to see for some time, whilst still having three men in centre mid, something we've missed in certain games recently. It would allow Brown to be the anchor, where he's best, whilst Ntcham and McGregor can look to play Edouard and partner in. The idea of McGregor and Ntcham in the same side is very attractive to me. Edouards movement in particular and some of the balls through to him were very good last night. If the Centre Backs and Brown are on their game it also offers that bit more protection for the likes of Frimpong and who ever plays left back, as I'm not convinced any of the wing backs are particularly the level of defender we need, yet, let alone some of them defenders at all. But that is more a personnel issue. As an option at least, depending on the game, our opponents etc, I quite like the 352. It worked last night in a game I thought would be quite tricky. Good win.

Very professional hope the wee man's ok.

Lads, soro deal done
Hope to see these guys soon.
Well done Celtic hope you bought amazing players and they get a chance soon. also a side note well done again for players out on loan and selling a few. Clear the lads who can't get a game then maybe they can do great.

Koassi apparently trained with benk today.

22 Jan 2020 17:39:27
Shved is the new Scott Allan with some of our fans, the more he doesn't play the better he becomes. If Shved is half the player Forrest is then he'll have a decent Celtic career. Trust our management team who see him in training every day.

23 Jan 2020 08:18:55
Though I do agree with the shevd getting better each time he doesn't play, our management watch morgan and Sinclair and played morgan.

I see that Soro has passed his medical. A wee question when he signs his Celtic contract will it be
THE MARK OF SORO
(I'll get my cloak)

22 Jan 2020 17:57:37
You're acting funny, try to spend my money

You out there playing your high class games

Oh Soro, Soro

(You all might be too young it was a classic)

A young David Bowie, my all time favourite singer, ooops, did I show my age there.

Hi ED, hope you well, it's been a while since I posted.
Right, Time for some much needed positivity,
We are still 2 points clear at the Top.
We won the first domestic honour "League Cup".
We've won 10 domestic honours in a row.
We won a Quality Europa League Group.
We're Going for 4 Trebles in a row.
We're Going for 9 Leagues titles in a row.

When you look at the big picture, its an astoundingly successful period in our History. I'm in my 50's and could never have dreamed of this years ago.

Lets kick on now and win our next two games, that puts us a minimum 5 points clear before "They" plays away to Hearts, let's start by winning tonight and really start to pile the pressure on them come Sunday.
" Hail Hail "🍀🍀🍀🍀.

{Ed007's Note - Nice to hear from you 👍

22 Jan 2020 14:40:38
After Soro gets over the line and before window shuts I hope for some experience to come in possible CB cover and a wide player to challenge Forrest definitely ready now first team who can help if we can’t get a wide player in promote Dembele or Shved with bench time pressure on Forrest cause that seems to push him on.

22 Jan 2020 15:26:39
Shved can't even make the provisional squad.

22 Jan 2020 12:19:27
Went a bit quiet since the Soro news; so has he signed yet, or is it a work permit issue or worse?
Just getting a wee bit frustrated as was expecting a lot more urgency since the winter break ended without the arrivals NL had predicted and we still have problem areas to address.

{Ed007's Note - Sorting out all the paperwork for non-EU players takes time and Soro can't enter the UK without a work permit.}

22 Jan 2020 13:15:52
He’s being measured for a treatment table 😂😂😂.

22 Jan 2020 14:16:10
Lennon commented on it yesterday.

22 Jan 2020 15:28:58
All the more reason to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible in these situations when time is a factor. We seem much quicker at shunting players out the door than snapping players up sharpish.

{Ed007's Note - We should definitely bring in a load of players so that fans can then moan that we've got too many on the books and need to get some out the door like they have for the last few years.}

22 Jan 2020 15:59:22
Some people are never happy if we sign too many it's a fault if we take our time it's a fault.

22 Jan 2020 11:43:57
My team for tonight forster Bauer julien ajer Taylor broony Callum ntcham eddy griff frimpong.

22 Jan 2020 12:00:13
Think the only change from last week will be ajer for bitton.

22 Jan 2020 09:42:26
Danny Rose on loan from Spurs would be a good option to cover our LB problem. Is on around 60k per week at Spurs. Cover half wages, but would imagine other PL clubs would be interested. Big fall out with Mourinho this week.

22 Jan 2020 11:28:18
IMO he's rotten. Was hyped simply because he is English. Still better than what we have mind you.
