Just throwing it out there but anyone else feel the Belgian has Rodgers worked out tactically? If you go over the last 7 games anytime our 11 players haven't been fully at it we've never been overly comfortable. We may have won most of them but even then they had plenty chances to score I'm those games. Maybe it's just we had better players on the day tha made the difference?

In a word no.

Pk85, totally agree. We all knew how Rangers would play. Press our back line and don't give Calmac space on the ball.

Rubbish.

Yes, Rodgers needs to get a plan B.
We got away with it in LC Final.
Today, same tactics resulted in us being comfortably beaten.
Changing to a 442 and taking of Hatate who gave away the ball 6 times within 30mins would have made sense.
Allow Idah to work with Kyogo and a change in style.
Clement has his measure, last 2 games prove it.

It's not the first time we have failed to start well against them, but it's the first time for a while where we have failed to react, Either by giving ourselves a shake and upping our game, or by the managers choice and timing of substitutions. Very disappointing.

I said before the game that they will play exactly the same plan as the cup final and we wouldn't be able to cope. Rangers were very good today but we should have seen this coming. well ahead of us all over the park. Their players were touch tight and aggressive and we just had no answer.

Limerick Celt, that you, I and everyone else knew they were going to stifle CMac and press Scales/ Taylor confirms Clement has worked out how to stop Celtics fluency - and by default stop Celtic.
If it was one game it could be seen as luck. It’s 2 games in 4 weeks and we were fortunate in LC final.
11 points clear Window
Transfer window open
Are the positives. But Rodgers does need to consider a plan B.
