I am a little more at ease with MON at the helm tomorrow. We were on a real slippery downward trend with BR. I reckon the Bhoys will be positive and a lot more confident. Energy levels high and decisiveness evident and effective. I reckon a win for us but a low scoring result.

Hope you are right but I fear this will not be the case.
The reason we are not a good team is at DD door. We don't have a board only a despot. Who incidentally has no official operating role with Celtic PLC… but he does what he wants with zero accountability. A proper old fashioned despot. Sacks and appoints manages when he feels like it.
Just like he appointed MON. MON at his best needed to be surrounded by a big team doing all the coaching and tactics. i don't believe this will end well. So poor decision to appoint someone out of work for 6 years. But that's what happens when you have a dysfunctional business model. despots just get to do what they want. DD has made two poor managerial appointments so far… Ronnie and Neil. I predict this will be his third.
Going to the game but I don't expect much. Midfields still win games and ours is lacking massively in dig and creativity. Our defence has looked shaky all year and GK is now sadly passed it.
If AR starts at RB that will only add to our defensive woes as he struggles to defend against a winger.

I'm not my usual confident self but anything can happen with 2 poor teams on the pitch.
Both of my Kids are going to Hampden but I'm keeping a low profile and will be watching the match in the house.

Maybe best to give your ticket to someone who will try to give our players support and encouragement tomorrow Celtic65. You obviously don't think it's worth turning up!
Btw it's the zombies we are playing tomorrow not Real Madrid ?.

Hope we all enjoy the game bhoys. Not sure if I will get to watch it live as I have other engagements today, which may or may not be done by 2pm.

The players cannot be any lower in confidence than they were 2 weeks ago. MON will build that self belief and confidence.
We have good players and if they believe in themselves, are good enough to win today.
If our defence deal with their wide men we have a chance. AR needs to have a good game if he plays.

Yes older managers seem to be set in there ways but mb that's what we need at the moment getting back to basics, that's why when teams in trouble they call the old guard ie Big Sam Allardyce, Roy Hodgsen so let's just get behind them while they are here.
ps nearly a pensioner a self so got to stick up for old yins same as Edd?.

The reason we were not a good team is totally at Brendan's door, instead of building a band of brothers, he threw players under the bus, to I hide his own inadequacy as a manager, the guy is a charlatan.
