We need to start preparations or next year.
We need a whole new set up / . Structure for our football operations.
Rodgers has not been great but he is in an impossible position with the squad he has.
We have been poor for most of the season, especially against the so-called smaller teams.
I said in November we needed 4 players to win the league even with the points advantage. I was shot down. I gave up going to the games at that time saw I was so frustrated. That's despite being at the vast majority of home games for over 50 years and a constant season ticket holder Sind 1989.
In my view, our chances of stopping them are about 10%. That's being generous. My views on this team are well stated, so I won't repeat, suffice to say we are poor all over the pitch.
Only one man ? calls man the main shots Celtic., DD.
Almost all the fans I know are fed up. This is the most frustrated and angry I've seen Celtic fans since the early / mid 90's. No wonder, as our football operations are in a desperate state.
DD can only act once the league is out of sight, but if he doesn't do a radical overhaul we will struggle next year as well. Make no mistake he has blundered big time.
So my point is if the custodians are failing our club, then the fans need to step in and in my view will step up.
We have let a skint club who sacked their manager. This season catch us. unbelievable incompetence from the small gang ruining our club.
Not acceptable to me and hopefully the Celtic supporters will force change.

Agree with the vast majority of your post celt65 but with two games still to play against SEVCO in the league, we're not out of this just yet.
We need far more from the team than they've delivered to date, and should they continue as they are it will be a slow death to the end of this season.
As they say, in a two horse race, second is last.

As ed says there's plenty of time and games left but I wish I had his optimism. i can't see any evidence that we're winning this league. we struggle against dire opposition can't score goals and physical teams bully us. funny we've beat devco twice maybe because they don't sit in but we're too passive and there's no real physicality about us. dreading tynecastle never mind the crumbledome.

Celtic had 4 months to prepare for the January transfer window and a chance to repair some of the damage caused in the summer transfer window.
But
Predictably the Celtic Board did very little.
The bare minimum was a left back especially since Taylor was injured before the window closed.
That decision to do nothing caused Celtic 2 points yesterday.

Of course it isn’t acceptable to you Celt65 and many other Celtic supporters. The style and effort from team in last 20 mins is certainly not acceptable.
If and when we lose the league, then we need to ask questions.
Either BR is having a very poor season as Manager or else his players are letting him down . These players should be our rocks, Johnston, CCV, Mc G, Hatate, MO’R, Abada and Kyogo . 7 top players. 3 with recurring injuries and minimum help to us . The other four Johnston, Cal Mc G M, MO’R and Kyogo are only shadows of their selves from last season . Abada is very unlikely to feature for us again . Hatate very minimal . The players who are currently carrying us are certainly not fan’s favourites Harte, Scales Taylor ( back from injury yesterday) , these 3 have regularly played better than so called stars .

Celtic mad
I agree we have had injuries…. But we bought lots of back up. Just don’t or can’t use it. As plenty of people have said £7m. On 2 Cb’s and not playing.

I will be over the moon to be wrong… just don’t see where the performances or energy will come from to beat them. We look so fragile and tired after 60 mins.
If I’m wrong, I will donate double what I have done in the past to Ed’s charity as a penance for losing the faith ?.

Sevco keep scoring and getting points against teams we have struggled with. The question is why? I hear we have better players and squad yet they perform in Europe. We are very poor and we panic from free flowing to poor since even when Anges reign was finishing. Unforgivable by the board and the players should not get off Scot free. Oh yes Abada doesn’t want to play well I saw another 7 or 8 yesterday who would be better of not playing.

We can lay the blame on the Board for our inability to fail to qualify for the knock out stages of Champions League but in the name of God how can we only win one game out of four against Kilmarnock . Two games at home .
If the blame for that doesn’t lie with the squad and manager, then there is something wrong . To me the last 30 mins yesterday was just going through the motions, Every min that the score remained 1 nil was a victory for our players . . We scored 4 goals and 3 goals in successive games earlier in season . Apart from Cup game v Buckie our form since break has been rotten . Apart C v season warm weather training has lifted us every yr, who is going to own up to making decision this yr . What we did instead didn’t look inspiring . Nothing before a week and a day before first match . Why have our star players. Let us down this yr, either injury or off form, they are not performing.

Sean 66 m we know the reason for Sevco’s consistency, they like Celtic would be dropping a couple of points every four or 5 games if it wasn’t for Crawford Allan’s men who are always available to steady the ship and if possible rescue the points for them .
