don't think Rogers would've been all that arsed about 10IAR personally - means very little in the broader footballing world.

 

Think he just wanted to get his career back on track and return to the EPL.

 

Completely agree. If he was still there for 10IAR, I am sure he would be pleased at the achivement but it was always rebuilding his career so he can show that he is a top coach. 

 

Celtic got lucky being able to get him because of this, the problem is Celtic fans then convinced themselves he was at Celtic because he was a massive Celtic fan who would lead them onto 10 in a row. Thus when he left for a very good opportunity in England, they created a betrayal narrative, Celtic fans are still deluded about Celtics position in football (probably because reality would depress them.)

[kingantti1874]

Not sure I want Eithet of these teams to lose.. it may prompt them into looking at compent managers .. Aberdeen I feel will 100% go for Alex Neil and I really do not want that as I really rate him.. 

 

Celtic’s chances will depend on whether furuhashi available.. he is very good.  
 

I think 1-1 would be the ideal outcome with some injuries and suspensions

[John Findlay]

Celtic are not in crisis and they are actually a good footballing team. They are just not getting(pardon the pun) the rub of the Green at present. They could have easily on another day put six past United and Livingston the week before.

Anyone writing them off is a fool.

Was thinking more that he'd be playing against better players . 

He , to me , is one of those who might step up a class . Unlikely to happen here 

 

Definitely, no arguments here in terms of higher standard of player in that league. He'd also get to go to the likes of Anfield, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and play against some of the big boys.  He can get that half a dozen games at big boys a season in the Champions league though.

 

For me it's about weighing up if that is better than what he's currently got or could achieve at his boyhood club.  Not convinced that's the case unless it's a club who can challenge for Champions League spot in England.  You can't show your grandkids the medals you got for avoiding relegation 5 years in a row 😄

No one is writing them off. What's disappointing is that they have been pretty terrible (three losses out of seven!) yet are only 6 points off the summit - or, looked at another way, a couple of cheap home wins v Ross County or St Mirren. Likewise, Rangers look weak and underpowered but still top of the league. I hope the other teams can keep on the pressure and the illusion of competitiveness for as long as possible but we all know that eventually the evil twins will draw clear and Scottish football will again be as boring as ever.

I always entertain the hope that one day we’ll be able to finally kick the trauma of 1986 into touch by winning the title.

So when the “evil twins” wobble, I can’t quite bring myself to describe that as “disappointing” 😉

I didn't see the game yesterday but I listened to it on the radio and my impression is that Dundee Utd were by no means lucky to get a point. All three commentators (including Pat Bonner) agreed that they were denied a stonewall penalty and United had other chances in the game.

 

I absolutely agree though that it's crazy to write off Celtic at this stage when they're just 6 points off the top of the league.

Like I said I can see both sides.  Andy Robertson wasn't at Celtic earning £25k per week so Dundee Utd to Hull is a different kind of move.  I also think it's different for a left back.  Do you honestly think at this stage in their careers McGregor and Christie will get to the level of De Bruyne and the likes and push to run games for any of the top 6 clubs in the EPL?  I know you have to back yourself but that's a stretch.  Somebody has mentioned Armstrong and he's doing really well, but he's at Southampton, he's not going any higher and he's going to win nothing.

 

I'm all for ambition and wish more players would get to the standard needed to carve out a good career in better leagues, I just think that if you are getting £15k upwards a week to play for Celtic it's a different decision, especially if that is your boyhood club.

 

If I played for Hearts, had the chance to become a club legend by captaining them to titles, loved by the fans, could put millions in the bank and every season have a shot at playing against the likes of Messi and Ronaldo in the Champions league in front of 60,000. I'm not sure a move to Brighton, Burnley, Wolves, Norwich, Brentford, Crystal Palace and a whole lot more would be that interesting for me.

 

It definitely wouldn't be an easy decision unless it was one of the bigger boys up at the top 6 and serious money.

“Tackle’s” point was a question, not an assertion!

My view? I think The Rangers are a better team and were certainly better coached than Celtic were under Lennon.

Celtic under Postecoglou (is that the correct spelling?) are a different prospect.

Despite some indifferent results I think things have changed for Celtic and I’d agree they’re capable of better things. 
They had something like 70% possession against us at Tynecastle which says something given we’ve proved we’re a decent opposition this season.

Not a Taliban fan, are you? 😊

Surely any individual or organisation regardless of reputation or our personal prejudices is entitled to an objective view of a particular situation that individual or organisation might find itself in?

What about a situation that involved Hearts? Andy Davies - linesman and Ibrox season ticket holder (allegedly) - cheated Hearts by falsely signalling a penalty against us at Tynecastle.

The result was that instead of one point, the unwashed gained three. Miko’s subsequent reaction was understandable if unfortunate for him, and Hearts.

And how does this affect Celtic? Well, Rangers “won” the league that year by one point. You don’t have to be a Maths graduate to work out that the Tynecastle result was massively significant in that “achievement”.

Is this not a situation where Celtic’s interests can reasonably be defended by all objective Scottish football fans? Davies’ decision hurt us for sure, but we were just collateral damage: the objective was to aid Rangers in a tight title race.

After all, we’re all up against this form of corruption. Watch Craig Levein’s justifiable disgust in his post-match interview following the cheating against his Dundee United side in a match at Ibrox.

And on Saturday, should “The Rangers”‘keeper v Dundee have been dismissed for illegally preventing a goal scoring opportunity? Arguably - but where there’s any chance of a doubt, bent officials will err on the side of “The Rangers”.

I'm not sure if anyone is writing Celtic off John, other than potentially their own supporters who are far from happy. From what I've seen of any highlights/live games the best Celtic have played this season was against us in the Premier Sports cup tie, especially 1st half. And, in my opinion, they played so well because the way we lined up and approached the game allowed them to play the way they wanted to.

 

In saying that I also don't think Rangers are playing as well as they did last season, but have already established a points differential over Celtic. It probably just adds to my frustration that we tend to approach games against both halves of the OF in Glasgow wrongly, making it easier for them to play as they want to.

 

After next weekend's games, with us playing Motherwell on Saturday and Rangers hosting Hibs on the Sunday, it isn't out of the question that we could then go to Ibrox as the league leaders. But even if Rangers do beat Hibs either way I'd like to see us go to Ibrox and make a statement, not just assume or accept we have lost before a ball is kicked.

Folks are forgetting theres still 90+ points available and they have McGregor, Kyogo, Julien, Forrest, Taylor and the Greek striker to come back in plus a January transfer window. Nows the time to play them and get points as the season goes on they’ll get their act together.

 

We have to just keep winning at home and taking points away and see where we get to. If and it’s a big if we can beat both the OF at home then we’ll be in good shape.
