Celtic banter 4

If celtboard hasn't sounded out mckenna for next season then they're once again sleeping at the wheel.

13 Oct 2026 11:20:26
We'll end up with either Moyes. McGlynn, or Roy Keane. Not my ideal managers but who am I to advise the recruitment department.

13 Oct 2026 12:54:49
Somebody needs to advise them money wasted by them is criminal.

13 Oct 2026 20:36:32
I would rather have McGlyn than any of the others.

14 Oct 2026 08:05:03
I was just reading where Moyes might be in the running.

14 Oct 2026 21:20:37
With Desmond involved more likely to be Robbie Keane to stick it to the support and show he's unbowed.

12 Oct 2026 20:12:51
Benfica in good form won 9 out of 10 games.

{Ed007's Note - They're struggling in the league compared to us though 🤭

13 Oct 2026 06:57:56
Think they're 5 points behind Porto it'll be tough regardless.

13 Oct 2026 09:06:37
I’m going to say a 3-1 loss.

13 Oct 2026 15:03:14
5-0 Benfica.

12 Oct 2026 19:41:48
I knew that both Jimmy Johnstone and John Cushley made their debuts in our 6-0 defeat at Rugby Park in 1963.

But I didn’t know that Cushley also died from MND.
He was diagnosed in 2007 only one year after Jinky died from the horrible disease.
John died the following year in 2008.

Cushley could speak fluent Spanish and he travelled with Manager Jimmy McGrory to Spain as a translator in a failed attempt to sign Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano in 1964.

14 Oct 2026 06:33:49
Probably the translated conversation went something like this: "Hello di Stefano, your demands are excessive, would you be willing to drop them by 75%? ".

12 Oct 2026 11:52:28
Very pleased with yesterday's outcome. Like some of our fans I was edgy and far from confident before the start. Nerves going to Fir Park? Panic stricken going to the Stadium of Light!

12 Oct 2026 14:51:54
Another big call from VAR going against us That's about 5 already.

12 Oct 2026 18:09:47
The boys arms deflects it out for a corner and the shot was on target, has the rules changed.

12 Oct 2026 19:19:23
Spot on mally it was on target and his outstretched hand deflects the ball away from goal for a corner.

12 Oct 2026 20:17:59
It doesn't matter if the rules have changed or not, you just know a handball like that is given against us every time in our box.

Again our leaders accept it without a murmur and Robertson is further emboldened.

12 Oct 2026 20:24:08
Refwatch pundits saying the boy was lucky when of course, luck has nothing to do with it!

13 Oct 2026 01:21:17
A penalty was given for the exact same in St Johnstone game I think. Practically identical ours was heading on target don't think the one given was. Identical different outcomes. who knew.

13 Oct 2026 16:42:59
Let's see how Gollum explains the latest round of honest mistakes.

13 Oct 2026 22:27:08
I don’t think Collum does his monthly review anymore which is a game changer.
The honest mistakes will go back to being unchallenged publicly.
Basically back to the days of being swept under the carpet.

12 Oct 2026 10:09:04
Clean Sheet.
3 Points.
2 goals.
Up the road.

Can’t complain at that.

One thing I will say is it was refreshing to see us hitting the target. It could’ve been 5-0 if it wasn’t for there keeper. He had a great game.

12 Oct 2026 10:19:41
Careful now positive comments will
No doubt be seen as the thoughts of a “happy clapper”.

12 Oct 2026 10:38:35
Motherwell look rudderless and looks like Just and even more importantly Watt are huge losses for them, bottom 6 for me.

My player ratings would be;
Sinisalo - 6
Donovan - 7
Murray - 6
Scales - 6
Tierney - 8
McGregor - 7
Baur - 8
Nygren - 7
Duran - 7
Hogh - 5
Tounetki - 6

Think we'll be in for a tough night on Thursday and assuming all fit I'd rotate a good few and keep important players fresh for Sunday.

Sinisalo
Lotombo CCV/ Murray Trusty Scales
Sorenson McGregor
Hassan McCowan Tounetki
Hogh

Revert to yesterday's team for the Diets but play Hassan or Forrest before Tounetki, who was an empty jersey again for first 20 mins, although did improve later in the game. There is a talented player in there but he seems clueless on how to use his strengths.

12 Oct 2026 11:30:50
Winning 4 away league games from 4 played is impressive considering we only won 5 league away matches from our first 10 away league games last season.

12 Oct 2026 12:06:58
Fair one lads.

I would take a 2-0 away from home every day of the week.

11 Oct 2026 22:47:36
Managed to watch the game before I went to work, now just home and I'm surprised by a lot of the comments on here regarding players and playing well.
Yes we won and a couple of players played well (Baur, KT) but we were playing a piss poor Motherwell team and they still made chances by a long ball over the top targeting CD.
We weren't that good today and any half decent teams will take 2 or 3 off us easily.


I was hoping Sinisalo would be our No:1 for years but I'm worried about him palming the ball out into his box which has already cost us a couple of goals.
Murray is ok for games like today but not the longterm answer and watching teams target CD over the top is a flashback to when teams did the same to Taylor.
I'm really worried about Thursday and we could get scudded on Sunday also.

12 Oct 2026 00:43:34
Scudded on Sunday 😂😂🤣😅Do you work in a solvent factory?

12 Oct 2026 06:39:02
Tough crowd, I've been critical but credit where its due that could have and should have been a cricket score, Motherwell ain't great and benfuca and hearts a different test altogether but with jota back and aj nearly ready it could nakedness all the difference, hopefully yang and ccv fit as well.

13 Oct 2026 01:26:21
Every team will create chances, even poor teams so to expect none identical realistic. We limited them by dominating in their half and crested many. It's one game but git to take the positives. Thursday night is a different level, fingers crossed probably over my eyes watching. Hopeful of a decent performance. 🤯.

11 Oct 2026 00:55:12
Ed, just wanted to ask if you have heard anything concrete about Baby D coming in as Chairman.
I heard a while ago and now stories of him being involved in transfers seem strange.

{Ed007's Note - I haven't heard anything except for the rumours going about but if that's the case what's the hold up? They could have appointed him months ago.
The story about him being involved in transfers is kind of old news.}

11 Oct 2026 22:05:39
Maybe they will announce it at the AGM, that will give them an excuse to put a halt to the proceedings like last year after the room goes into meltdown.

11 Oct 2026 17:59:24
McInnes " I was pleased how our players overcame the mental tiredness" EH? What mental tiredness?
You played a team that hardly put in a tackle, seldom crossed halfway line until game was over

Meanwhile Celtic had 11 players returning from all over the world, having already played MORE games than Sevco and will continue to do until Christmas and Celtic overcame a difficult away fixture with ease so which team was "more tired".

11 Oct 2026 14:56:17
Tough 2 games coming up especially coming back from Portugal facing a confident hearts team.

11 Oct 2026 14:55:22
Well that was short lived 🤣.

11 Oct 2026 14:34:46
26 shots at goal, around 10 on target. Baur getting his fair share of rubbishs away from midfield. Hogh is really struggling with every passing game without a goal his confidence dwindls and the fans get more frustrated with him.

Duran with another goal, Jota back and a clean sheet without Trusty and CCV all big + points.

11 Oct 2026 22:09:33
Hogh will start banging them in when Jota starts playing more, Jota will find him with his crossing instead of hitting the corner flag.
We also need to play Duran up front with Hogh.
