Regardless of our thoughts on Calmacs form, bottom line is he's starting every game till the end of the season so big question is beside who? Probably Nygren and a. n. other. whether its Ox, Reo or Engles, or probably see all 5 at some point during each game.
I think one of MONs main focus during international break was to sit with Cal and Ox and really ask/ tell them that you 2 are going to drive this team to the title. Are both of you up for it and fit enough?

Engels ahead of ox every single day of the week and its not even close.

I've always wondered how players who are going to world Cup are affected by this? I sure some get the bounce and kick on, by same measure there will be some who become worried about getting injured which affects form. I was thinking about Nygren but he doesn't need to worry about injury as he doesn't tackle. 🤣.

How many goals would Shankland have scored for us this year if we signed him for free last summer. Said at the time was a no brainer (as a back up striker) and if it didn't work no big deal. We would be clear leaders with any decent CF.
And although slow he would have had at least 2 yesterday. Yeah, he's not Celtic class etc but neither is anyone we have and he would have cost a lot less in wages than Adamau, Tvanvara.

Absolutely! As MON would say.

See Johnny Kenny scored again, should have kept him instead of the strikers brought in 🍀.

Well that’s a very good point.

Johnny Kenny is playing at his level and even then he isn’t exactly setting things alight.
Let him go and build a career in lower tiers of England.

Hooper not spring to mind 🍀.

The conspiracy season has started
My ex bears want Hearts v Sevco to be final game as they are convinced this will be title decider, Celtic are totally dismissed, as they think the first game after break will be Celtic v Sevco they are confident of victory, leaving them to overtake Hearts
Let us see if SPFL fall into line.

I just read right there that team top of SPFL at break traditionally gets last game at home, so Hearts are that team unless Sevco or Celtic are top but Celtic would require a big goals swing and just now we are not scoring a lot of goals
Bad news also the Greeks Olympiakos blew their title so if Sevco win league they go straight into groups with ÂŁ30m prize
Us and Hearts will need to qualify.

Heard the sevco game is the 9th or 10th.

Yesterday was a bit of a repeat of what we have seen most season. Too many sideways passes, missed chances and vulnerable from crosses. The only "flair" players we have Tounetki and Hatate remained benched which was odd, albeit both have only fleeting moments of positive play.
Cvancara, Adamu, Mvuka together must rank as the worst bit of business we have ever done, who actually believed they could improve us? Truly baffling.

Chinks on those 3, mon hedged his bets that players who have had decent money moves, played bigger better leagues would be better than a manwanisie, Bowie, etc etc
I don’t blame him, the market is rank with mediocre players demanding stupid fees, I include the manwanise ( off boil ) and Bowie ( off boil after move ) in that.
Where money needs spent is probably on scouting, overseas club link ups and real actual domestic development, our club has not even close to any set up that could produce on any of those fronts,
Oh add data analysis ( pay top dollar for those who know wat there doing on that front )

Mcgregor scales Donovan ralston mccowan cvancara were brutal yesterday, and can't understand why hatate and tounekti who does well when he comes on never got a sniff, hopefully engles is fit for run In and iheanacho can make an impact after a good goal yesterday.

Mally ox isn’t working in that midfield, he undoubtedly has something but for me it’s him or Nygren as both leave other 2 exposed so they can’t be on park same time, Engels in there I think would be great, reo could be a league winner for us against teams like hearts and Rangers, against others he’s went missing, with injuries, poor windows, background noise at club, fan bans, it’s a miracle we are in this league still, winner will be worst winner in 40 years if not longer
We still have everything we need to go win league, it’s just every time you think they can kick on they don’t.

I’ve been quite the critic of McGregor for some time. Absolutely brilliant player on his day but been below average for over 2 years now.
I keep repeating myself on this one but the Kairat game was the nail in the coffin for me. What Celtic captain comes out and says live on TV after a first tie draw that the players are Anxious. There hasn’t been a Celtic captain in history that claims fear or anxiety of playing another opponent.

06 Apr 2026 20:51:06
A shrinking violet isn't captain material at a club like Celtic. If the leader is anxious then it has a ripple effect on the players around him. He should be leading by example and setting the tone like Broony used to do.
05 Apr 2026 20:03:28
OUR Captain deserves all the Celtic fans support
I have read over the past few weeks McGregor getting it large from some posters on here, I feel they are judging Callum on his recent performances, which to be fair, have been poor, but so too has most of the present squad.
Callum over past what 5/ 6 years has been one of our better players and now his performances have dipped compared to his own high standards he is a target for the boo boys
In fairness to the boy, let him captain us to the title (Hopefully) and then let him leave with dignity and our thanks.

{Ed007's Note - CalMac has been honking in Europe since Brown left, he was never a CDM and again since Brown left that has been more & more obvious and he isn't getting any younger. It's hardly a dip, it's been a steep trajectory.
Being realistic about a player isn't being a boo-boy, if you want to talk the talk you need to walk the walk and he goes missing far too much in big games, he's easily physically bullied and his craving for every move to come through him is taking a lot of urgency out the team.}

Timalloy i'm not a boo bhoy i call it as i see it callum mgregor passes the ball either side to side or backwards. drive us to a title after watching him the last couple of seasons his gears must be stuck because theirs no driving he is in reverse. what Celtic captain do you know after everything that has happened this season playing against a piss poor hearts and Rangers team wouldn't have grab these games by the scruff of the neck.
i'm sure today that's the first we have won in the city of dundee this season. haven't beaten hearts or Rangers in the league this year. scott brown would have had us winning these games as a captain.

I just think all Callums good performances are being forgotten, his goals have won us many a game, he was a first pick both for Scotland and Celtic and the number of games he played without a decent rest went against him.
Broonie was a different type of player but both players led Celtic with distinction
As to the CDM position, surely the manager must take responsibilty if a player is not suitable to play there
Sadly I cannot see Callum being a first pick next season but I thank him for all his past service to Celtic.

{Ed007's Note - I can't argue with any of that either Timbo, I just think the "boo boys" tag was bit much imo, he's done his bit for the Club no doubt.}

I’m a massive Calmac fan and Celtic are worse without him.

I seem to remember Scott Brown starting all this sideways passing.

The mindset of the entire team seems to be one of fear, nobody wants to take responsibility. That is entirely on the board and failure to maintain let alone improve the squad. CM is trying to do too much but that is because the arse wipes above him have done too little.
A few quality additions pulls the team up, lack of quality sucks the life out. Everyone knows where the problems at Celtic FC lie, the sooner we can get them gone, the sooner we start rectifying the problems.

05 Apr 2026 23:05:49
I think at the moment he looks way off his best possibly due to rarely getting a rest as we don’t have the squad depth.

05 Apr 2026 23:19:18
Maybe if we had bought better players to back him up. but sadly the biscuit tin is welded shut.

06 Apr 2026 00:25:28
Not often a disagree with you Buzz but your the man with the stats and a think most of games Calmac has missed this season Celtic have won, agree with Edd a honestly can't remember him havn a good game in Europe bcoz of btr quality players than Spl.

Father Time has caught up with him.
He’s a liability and has been for a while now. Scoring the odd goal now and again is no longer getting him pass marks.
One of many that needs moved on.
His decline in the last 2 years has been major an not helped either with every manager having to play him, he must have some clause in his contract cause no one plays that poorly consistently and still get picked.

I mentioned weeks ago about our results in 1986.
Celtic beat Dundee 2-1 with 7 games to go.
We also beat St. Mirren 2-1 with 6 games to go 🍀.

When the players aren't even cutting it in the SPL then you know ow it's time to move them on. I dislike seeing all the headlines like "McGregor sends warning to title challengers" don't talk big if your performances aren't backing it up. Let the football do the talking and say less.
