My god how hard was that need to get in about this squad don't give me its nervy the one you would expect to show a winning mentality are no where you would think not one of them have won anything with celtic before. Backline shocking too slow with the pass foward, midfield is absolutely nowhere wether lack of form I don't know you would think they had never played together before. fowardline missing no wingers bar Forrest and kyogo offering nothing time to start with Idah. And just a quick one on Beaton when opposition are time wasting from the start of the game no issues our keeper takes his time at the end and is booked unreal.

Great result although our performance was dodgy.
Celtic now have 3 home league games left out of our 4 league matches left.
Celtic are in a great position and we can only throw it away.
I feel Kyogo still remains a man short away from home.
Wee James has stood up big time recently.

There's definitely a form and fitness issue with some of them.
Cal-Mac is clearly not fit or able to perform anywhere near what Celtic needs. BR has to put sentiment aside and play Tomoki, who is more than capable. As far as form goes, I think this is a more serious issue. We have not seen MOR play well since the transfer speculation in January. Kyogo has slipped from a consistent goal threat to a bit-part fraction of the last 2 seasons. The return of Hatate was anticipated as a perfectly timed asset in the run-in, but is struggling to assert himself, either through lack of fitness or confidence and like McGregor lost possession far too often.
The defense has struggled to keep a clean sheet, looking as vulnerable from set plays as I've seen all season.
The plus points are we won another game and maintained our lead and we have three home games where the support should play a huge part and the form of James Forrest is making the difference these days. I mentioned on the live chat that this must be one of the smallest and softest Celtic sides, in comparison to almost every SPL opponent and although we have had small built players down the years, many of them had big hearts and a big presence to match.
We need a lot more endeavor, grit and composure in the coming weeks, but we are in the driving seat and need to go up the gears.

Idah makes a massive difference to the way we play. Exactly the same focal as the Moose but obviously not on same level yet. Idah needs to start. I've no idea what to do with the wide men. Hopefully Maeda can play a part soon. Calmac was shocking today. However I'm not sure if iwata should start over him because I just don't think iwata offers much apart from a body in that position. He struggles even with simple passes and ice yet to see hom make a tackle since he joined. 3 decent-to-good performances at home should seal the deal.

I fear for some of my fellow Celtic supporters, those who have spent most of our after match discussions either ridiculing the whole team or many members, the same players after nearly every game .
We all know by now that the team isn’t perfect, nor are all the players ( either not good enough or in poor form) but we are almost their as SPL champions and are in cup final . We must be getting something right
It’s going to be hard for those hardest on our team to enjoy our successes if we get them.
