One year ago tomorrow,
Celtic once again beat Sevco comfortably enough at Hampden, although it was only 1-0.
Our lineup yesterday had 8 players that started that match one year ago.
The only players missing were Jota, Starfelt and Maeda.
Maeda could make it 9 players this Saturday if he's fit.
Forrest never made the bench one year ago at Hampden, although he was fit and available and yet he was the massive difference and won Celtic the game yesterday.
The question now is what has happened to this team.
Our recruitment this season has been abysmal and that has prevented improvement.
But the vast majority of our Treble winning team were on display yesterday and the regression was plain to see.
Another Question,
Do you still want Brendan as our manager if he wins us another title?
Personally I would give him another chance to get decent players in but it's alarming how poor we are, with players who were good enough last season.

Most of the players were suited Ange's tactics, that's why Kyogo looks a shadow of the player he was under Ange. Brendan tactics are too slow for me, I want a manager who doesn't advocate playing from out the back, and doesn't play Maeda?.

Maeda would be one of the first names I would put on team sheet, as we don’t know what to expect, he disrupts opponents all over pitch and can score or create out of nothing . Kyogo should be able to adopt to. BR tactics, but I think his main problem is that he isn’t making chances for himself and isn’t scoring from many chances, team are not feeding him as much, because he isn’t accurate enough . Cal McGregor is attracting closer marking than previous yrs and isn’t capable of freeing himself and contributing enough . A period of coming on near end may suit him better. I think that all 3 midfielders MO’R, Hatate and Cal form suffers, if one of them is off form . Hopefully an in form Iwata can lift form of Hatata and MO’R.
