Big Hearts striker Ipeazu is suspended against Celtic in our game in hand.
He was booked against Sevco on Sunday and that has triggered a suspension.

05 Dec 2019 21:03:24
He’s a donkey anyway.

06 Dec 2019 08:00:20
He may be a donkey but he's is a handful for any CB and it's better for us he's out.

05 Dec 2019 19:02:00
Ed any idea why we play Hearts on 18th December when there don't appear to be any other SPL fixtures that night?

{Ed007's Note - It's rearranged from the Betfred semis weekend mate.}

05 Dec 2019 18:26:02
Broony's last minute winner, coupled with their 2-2 draw has opened up a 2 point gap, also in December we play an extra league game, if Celtic win all December league games we will be a mimimum 8 points clear if Sevco win most of their games prior to Celtic Park.
We have a big chance to destroy their fragile confidence by winning on Sunday, because last night's last gasp winner has already deflated them, my ex bears thought sevco had got out of jail, UNTIL Broony stepped forward.
So once again the "neutral" SPFL fixture computer could work in our favour AGAIN hail hail.

05 Dec 2019 19:01:31
Counting last night Sevco had 5 league games before the winter break, all against teams in the top 6.Already they have dropped points and I expect Celtic's lead at the top to go into double figures for the winter break and then that will be the last we will see Slippy, who will know he is fighting a losing battle.

05 Dec 2019 19:43:43
Slippy G will disappear quicker than DUP support for the Tory’s given that both are on a hiding to nothing and ultimate failure is their only end game. Just saying. ☘️.

05 Dec 2019 15:21:05
To all the posters who continue to believe the refs are against us 😂😂please explain the stone Waller of a penalty they never got last night by a ref who drinks with the supporters every week? Maybe after this incident you'll give most of us on here some peace 👍.

05 Dec 2019 15:40:24
When was the last time a referee apologised to Celtic for causing us points?

05 Dec 2019 15:47:59
Exactly what I was thinking leon, couldn't believe that when I seen it this morning.

05 Dec 2019 16:20:59
Anyone who thinks there are no bias refs must be smoking crack.

I don't believe every ref is bias, some like colum are just shockingly poor refs but there are several that are bias and can't even disguise it.

05 Dec 2019 16:21:32
Steph, at least he could see it was a foul. The 2 penalty incidents against Hibs, the referee waved play on, nothing to see here and it cost us points. No Apology, then again Lenny isn't Slippy.

05 Dec 2019 16:22:59
@Jazz, are you a ref mate.

05 Dec 2019 16:23:20
You seen any public apologies for any other teams?

05 Dec 2019 17:26:26
Sure wee got a double apology the Hibs game when wee had two penalties and dropped two points and it was nice of the ref to appologise for giving four penalties for the new co 3 of which weren’t penalties .

05 Dec 2019 17:39:25
To be fair he didn't make a public apology.

06 Dec 2019 18:51:35
Leon Clancy isn't biased just inept.

05 Dec 2019 14:02:08
I know a few will say “ he’s at the long end of a que” but when Broony retires does he deserve a “ statue “ or some sort of accolade to mark just what a player / leader / legend he has been for Celtic?

05 Dec 2019 14:17:45
Yes, especially when we get 10!

05 Dec 2019 15:17:22
Am not to sure about that to be honest.
I think the only other statue should be Fergus McCann.

Think something should be done but not a statue.

05 Dec 2019 16:26:08
Fergus doesn't want one but think it will eventually happen. Broony probably does!

05 Dec 2019 18:05:43
I don't think he'll get a statue, but it would be a belter if he did, doing the broonie obviously.

05 Dec 2019 19:01:02
No statue men where do u stop mcstay etc broony is a total legend but statues are for the holy grail.

05 Dec 2019 11:26:53
It's fast nearing the time when we will have to replace Scott Brown. We will have to look for someone who is a leader on and off the park. Can play as a defensive midfielder and as a box to box one. Could probably play in goals too if you asked him. Inspires all around him and is gritty and determined. Where do you find such a player and at a price range affordable to us.
Would love to be able to turn the clock back and buy the young Brown where we could experience his time with us all over again. ⚽️😊.

05 Dec 2019 12:01:09
Broony has got better with age he's got a few years left yet. He has also not let himself go and pushed his body hard. It's a myth at 30.40.50 or even 60 you can still be in amazing shape. As long as you do not stop caring about youself.

05 Dec 2019 12:52:07
Yet some on here don't fancy him the mans a legend.

05 Dec 2019 13:31:52
I agree it's time to start looking for a replacement long term to do his particular role. But I recon we have another 2 years before age will be against him. The keys to recognise someone early, before it's to late.

I hear what Andy saying, and I get he's into fitness, but unfortunately it isn't a myth. Players don't ever keep there match fitness and recovery times well into their late 30s and 40s, especially at that level. I think we should enjoy the next few years with him whilst identifying an adequate replacement.

05 Dec 2019 14:40:56
@4leafclover

Maldini sheringham Strachan R milla giggs
Zanetti, Kazuyoshi Miura. Kenny miller
These are just a few there are many more.
Gd managers sport psychologists motivators he has the right people behind him. Who will sort all this out.
I'm not saying every person can do this I'm saying broony can do this as he's made of stronger stuff and he wants to unlike rogic and a few others.
How many games has broony missed this season and last season etc due to not being fit. He has missed none.
Other than injuries his recovery rate is gd.
He's never on the injury bench never sick
The point I'm making is broony is one of these guys who looks after himself does the right things eats the right food etc etc.
It's old an fashioned way of thinking that
footballer is over the hill at 30 I'm not saying you are old fashioned tho 😜😜
if this is the case then the footballer are
1, injury prone
2, lifestyle his choices drink drugs smocking
3, the persons who give him advice on health and fitnesd
4 personal motivation and attitude
5 total believe in his ability.
We are in charge of our own bodies it's what we do with it thatvtuins it and hereditary. To stay at the top you need to look after it and treat it gd.
Broony does bug me when he passes the ball back to much or puts it to the side but all the Celtic team say broony is the fittest player at training these type of personalities don't come around much it all depends on what he want to do.
The same goes for us but hopefully our thoughts don't stop us first.

05 Dec 2019 14:55:04
Name the north stand after him! Scott broon living legend lol.

05 Dec 2019 15:01:43
I think it was Ronnie that turned his career around.

05 Dec 2019 18:20:34
A lot of the players you mentioned, it was there quality they had that got them through.

Miller was done for quite some time.

I agree it's how you take care of your body that gives you longer time. But biologically the body's mechanical function gives way under wear and tear. The muscles take longer to recover, yes when they've recovered hell be good but he will need more rest time (hense the retirement from the national team) . I love him as a player, his aggression, his control of the game, he is one of the strongest players on the park. A range of passing and ability to break up attacks and at the same time create or control them. But I really recon 2 seasons and we'll see things slow right down. We need a ready made replacement at least 6 months before that happens.

Who would you think could fill his shoes be gd for him to show that player the way it is young calmac the man to take the reigns.

06 Dec 2019 08:05:44
Yeah that's what I mean Andy someone waiting in the last year to 6 months to take over. Calmac, is a fantastic player, but offers a completely different type of game to brown. Realistically I don't know, McGinn offered similar dynamics box to box and had more aggressive style, even if he was more offensive than brown, but that could of been adapted (like browns game) . I'd hope our scouting network is on it.

06 Dec 2019 11:52:28
Mcginn, there's a name I've not read for a while 😂😂.

05 Dec 2019 10:34:39
If all the shots on goal went in it was eight one they rode there luck we ripped them to shreds greg Taylor was brilliant he was causing them all sorts trouble looks the part fitted in really well he enjoying his chance very quick good signing.

05 Dec 2019 13:10:04
I loved Taylor's reaction to Brown's goal. He was going mental.

05 Dec 2019 15:24:42
If all the shots on goal went in the game would have finished 22 - 9

Hamilton had the same amount of shots on target as we did.

05 Dec 2019 04:49:32
Don't think I've celebrated inside paradise like last night for a long time. European and zombie games maybe but not spl team.
Could be a massive goal come May. Celtic were flat, we got out of jail. Move on to Sunday HH

Anyone got the number for gamblers anonymous. I'm down a fortune 😍😍😍😍.

05 Dec 2019 09:22:03
There you are then DRAB 1967 you should have taken my tips.
Was also at game so did not see your post aimed at me, I suppose if you have no imagination yourself, your only recourse is to copy someone like myself, immiation is the best form of flattery.
Yes the girls and I are enjoying our "imaginary" winnings just as our whole family enjoyed our "imaginary" holiday courtesy of my ex bear pals and the Foodbank charity got "imaginary" donations also.
But DRAB thanks for following my every word on here hope I have brightened up your Christmas hail hail.

05 Dec 2019 10:25:03

Not got a clue what your on about. Post about you. Is someone taking the "Michael" which obviously I wouldn't . Don't take anything on here so personal or literally, if I crack a joke, crack a joke back at me lol.

HEY BOSS ITS THE PLANE.

05 Dec 2019 10:52:40
What game were you watching we were flat eh are you going to spec savers we tore them to shreds just couldn't score but we kept on going and that's why we are champions simple never give up.

05 Dec 2019 11:05:30
Whit game were you watching Gallagher lol from where I was standing was torture watching us side to side tying to break them down they were well organised and we struggled.

05 Dec 2019 12:56:30
Ha ha DRAB are you just going to literally repeat everything I Post, have I got another stalker? Should I be worried and tell Mrs T.
HOPE I AM NOT ON ANY PLANE YOU ARE ON
(see what I did there)

05 Dec 2019 13:54:52
Timalloy

I'm lost what have I done now. I'm not on a plane.

05 Dec 2019 13:59:46
In sure the plane is from Fantasy Island Tim.

05 Dec 2019 15:27:45
Gallagher I ain't sure what game you were watching because that was not pretty on the eye at all.
That was a job done and that's about it.

05 Dec 2019 02:10:32
This is exactly how leagues are won.
Difference between men and boys.
Broony’s example (s) are teaching his team how to win.
Anyone who thinks it is a race with no points being dropped and goal difference being the decisive factor this early clearly hasn’t played or followed football with any level of attention.
