Delighted with new signings and our attacking play, concerned though with amount of chances we're giving away. A better side would convert them and we play a decent side on Wednesday.
{Ed007's Note - Do you think we'll start with Scales at LB and have OAC & Tounekti starting on Wednesday? This game had nothing to do with Wednesday or Europe, we needed to win a cup tie, MON tinkered with the team with Wednesday in mind and we won 4-0 and it could have been more, against a team that beat us twice last season.}

AOC can't start on Wed as he's serving a 3 match suspension. I even thought against Killie we were giving too many chances away.
As I say delighted with the way we're shaping up but could do with this elusive strong defensive midfielder which we've lacked against better opposition.

Totally agree Ed, that is not the team that will play on Wednesday.
That was a team to get the job done today. They did it and it was a case of, if you score, we will score more.
We gave them chances, but we were lethal when we got chances and they weren't.
We are nowhere near to what we are going to be as a team, with at least one more coming in and we didn't play Baur or Hussan.

Ed not often I agree with you mainly because you side with Wee Joe and a few others at every call, but in this instance I throughly agree.
{Ed007's Note - Whit? I side with no one, I have my own opinions and I stick by them - some are on the side of some posters and some are on the side of others, that's actually a pretty pathetic post tbh, I've argued the toss on here with people I consider friends and that I have met in real life.
If i've upset you don't take it personally, maybe grow a pair.... I do a podcast if you want to discuss it further....

Tonights performance for me, gave a glimpse into what strength and depth could look like moving forward.
The league cup ranks 4th out of the four competitions we're in this season. Selective squad rotation will be required to compete on all fronts.

Happy to contribute to your podcast, send me the details if you can, apologies if my comment came across wrong, anyway all good, our team is cranking it up, think how good it’s going to be come the hun game, 6 weeks of training together for vast majority of team with the additions come 1st September getting 3 weeks training.
{Ed007's Note - Fair play mate, I might have been a bit brash there but anyone is welcome on the podcast regardless of their opinions??I was hoping to have one tonight but I woke up this morning and my throat felt as if I had been swallowing glass and I've lost my voice! The wife's not complaining right enough ??♂️

Hogh9,
I'm not sure what you're post is based on, but for me, it's totally innacurate and out of order.
Personally, I've enjoyed for several years now, reading the posts and contributing to the forum as much as the rest of the bhoys and ghirls on here, and at no time would I say that Ed is bias to anyones viewpoint or opinion.
This is a forum for Celtic supporters and I've followed our club for more than 40 years, which is more than many on this forum and certainly a lot less than others.
Whether I agree or disagree with certain posts, I respect the viewpoint of my fellow supporters as I believe we all have the best intentions for Celtic FC and I'm accutely aware that my own views are no more or less valid than that of the next bhoy or ghirl.
But this forum only exists because fellow supporters like Ed007 volunteer their time, energy and enthusiasm to run it, and we very much appreciate that.
So please, pretty please, don't come on here making unfounded accusations regarding the bias of the very undividual who enables us all to discuss all things Celtic, in a safe and controlled environment where all of our views, whether you agree or disagree, are respected.
HH.
{Ed007's Note - Cheers Ped ???

Høgh9.I don't really get that tbh. but you are entitled to your opinion. I think Ed does his best to navigate these, sometime shark infested waters ?, but he doesn't seem to side with anyone imho. I agree almost 99% with wee Joe but, again, I'm not a cheerleader for him. Ed and I have disagreed on players, people etc but that's what it's all about. We have different opinions and I'm glad you're giving yours ?. Get on the pod and see the whole spectrum.
What you can see is WE and Ed as our, I hasten to say Leader, as he would hate that, but our shop steward perhaps ?, does his best to herd us cats as best he can. now don't get me started on Mad Dog McGinn. that's another story! Tbh Gerry you know I love your patter! ❤️ Anyways a good day and a happy Sunday to one and all. Told keeper incoming but Lithuanian boy reluctant to come to Spl. Be well my friends. ??.
{Ed007's Note - Thanks Foxi ???If you think Mad Dog's bad on here & the live chat you should Whatsapp!!! ?
