If we had won 4 1 would we be world beaters? Yes signings required. That game is a zero indication and tells us nothing that wasn't apparent before. On a plus Camilo! I'm still fearful but optimistically so. I know how dare I be!

Last year there was a ridiculous level of hype after we beat Newcastle 4-0 which was then quickly dampened by a average Ajax team
that was at a similar level of fitness.
All I have seen from the 2 friendlies so far is that Celtic have done nothing and still look like a team void of ideas and ability.

Don't worry kwaj, the Celtic board will beat that out of you. ?
Believe it or not, last summer I was really optimistic. Our squad had been trimmed, we had a top manager, had just gotten out of group stages on CL and gave Bayern a good game, we were the richest we had ever been, we had good sellable assets and were in a great position to kick on.
Up until we crashed out the CL, which was late in the window, I had been telling people on here, that the time to judge was at the end of the window and that I was confident we would strengthen. Sadly, I had let my optimism over cloud my judgement and the club failed miserably in relation to ruitment and it snowballed from there. It was just one deck up after another.

It's pretty season for god sake it means heehaw, the first half we were decent and popped it about quite nice 2nd half obviously with the raft of changes it happens, complete over reaction.

Easily pleased Mally if your content with what you are seeing.
Whatever happened to Celtic don’t play friendlies or does that only apply when they win.
Pre season in the main is about fitness, Sporting players looked far fitter and sharper than ours? Played far better than us and looked like a team.
4-1 defeat that easily could have been double figures is nothing to ignore.

Did I say I was happy feck it's pre season results are immaterial.
