[The Celtic View]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen?
Think Ange confirmed how out his depth and confused he was when he said in the interview after the game that he thought Celtic should have got the 3points last night in a knock out tie!

Yeah, a slip of the tongue means someone is completely out of their depth.

Your manager said referees had been against Rangers for years, after his first competitive game in Scotland!

As for the might falling, that happened last season when we finished more than 20 points behind the newco. There will be a revamp of the squad this season, and while I want to win trophies, I wouldn't say that is a must this season. All I'm asking for is that he improves the squad, and gets them competing again.

I doubt we'll sip as far as being eliminated from Europe by the 4the best side in Luxembourg, but I don't expect Celtic to do very well in Europe this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if we're eliminated by the Danes, who didn't look a particularly good team last night.

Bad indictment of your team so so early.
But with a (let's be honest)unknown manager I can't disagree.
The squad isn't bad tbh.
Although I think the board are hoping to sell and reinvest.
Two in a row for the other lot ..

The squad finished more than 20 points behind TRIFC. Rangers were unbeaten last season, and it was no disgrace to be behind them. The disgrace was being more than 20 points behind them.

I didn't have any confidence in the recruitment of players at Celtic. Hopefully the players who Ange has seen will be good, but we've wasted a lot of money on players who clearly aren't good enough.

If it were up to me, the first appointment would be a Greek interpreter, to tell Barkas he's allowed to use his hands to prevent the ball going into the Celtic goal.

Celtic badly need a goalkeeper. 2 seasons ago we had the best keeper I've ever seen play for Celtic as out number one, and the 3rd best keeper I've seen play for Celtic as our number 2. Last season we had Barkas and Scott Bain as our 1st and 2nd choice keepers!

We also need a right and left back, and probably another centre back.

I wonder if him and his mates beat DJ's up for not putting Phil Collins on?

The guy is a thug.

Having said that, if the DJ had put Phil Collins on I could understand some irate music lovers beating him up!

Nothing wrong with Phil Collins. Or Genesis.

I quite like Genesis, though I'm not much of a fan of Collins solo stuff.

Outrageous. I bet you like Van Halen don't you

No. I'm a 70's funk, and late 80's Hip Hop, man.

Hard to argue with that.

His demeanour has been strange, has the look of somebody who for some reason doesn't want to be there, might just be his way but never comes across as enthused by the job he has ahead of him?
Weird thing about euro qualifying this season is if celtic get through against the Danes and then get knocked out in third round qualifier they go straight into Europa league sections whereas if Rangers lose in their 3rd round qualifier they have to play a play off game to get into Europa league sections!
It's a conspiracy I tells ya!!

Stop making things up.

What's happened with the scouting system?
Over the years some good players have joined and left for a pretty penny.
Can't be that devoid of talent up here to jump at the chance of quadrupling their wages?

You'll deffo like DCL's outfits.

What, and I can't stress this enough, the Fleck? lol

I didn't realise you were a body language expert.

I rarely listen to interviews of someone at Celtic, or anywhere else for that matter. They tend to be bland as Fleck. Now I've discovered not only have you been watching the Celtic manager's interviews, you've been studying his body language into the bargain!

And you have the brass neck to call others obsessed! lol

Over the years we've came up with some excellent players, and sold them on for a big profit. Having said that we've also wasted a lot of money on players like Klimala, Bayo, Amido Balde, and Mo Bangura etc.

Lately the signings have been atrocious. Barkas is one of the worst goalkeepers I've ever seen play for Celtic and I've seen some bad ones in my time.
