wastecoatwilly Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Craig Levein would have been happy seeing the 4-6 formation winning the game,Gamboa played his best game for Celtic today plus bitton but young Henderson stole the show in the last 20 minutes magic from the invincibles.

Tony Wonder Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This Celtic/Hibs patter is brilliant. There's a real danger it could go stale but credit to you boys for keeping it fresh. Brutal news about Souttar, that's about 18 months out I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season is a write off in terms of getting 2nd or 3rd place, it's just a testing ground now for next season under the new management. Hopefully we're not out of the cup too soon though but Cathro needs to get this team working as unit pronto, Shame for Souttar. The last thing our weak defence needed. Nah, not us. Not this year.

DC92 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Absolutely nothing performance there. No pace, poor passing, terrible decision-making and the defence went to shit at the end. Celtic barely had to break out of walking pace. In fairness, we are in a transitional period and it's arguable that the starting 11 was 5/6 players away from what it will be in a week or two (Struna, Djoum, Rherras to come back, Tziolis, Goncalves and a new CH to come in). I didn't expect anything different today. Whether it's wise to have made wholesale changes, halfway through a season, to a squad that had been doing pretty well for us is another matter, though. Big gamble by Cathro. As for the new players, I was pleasantly surprised by Sowah who was reasonably solid (daft 90th minute penalty challenge notwithstanding) and kept the ball pretty well. Martin has divided opinion but, although he does seem not bad technically, I'm not sure that makes up for the obvious lack of strength or pace. Choulay played a fantastic ball through for Martin which was encouraging but he seems totally clueless defensively and his inability to track Tierney was probably a big part of the reason ended up losing as heavily as we did.

Dominique Malonga Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sorry for the late reply, I've only just recovered from reading Dom's post. Conveys it perfectly how we feel about this historic moment. As HB says, the thunder is most definitely back and I for one could not be prouder. Celbernian. Then. Now. Forever. Stop it KDM or you'll set me off again. It really was a blessing to witness history today. It may have been a cold Sunday in January but every time Celtic went forward I felt as if i was....... well it felt like I was in the heat of Lisbon.

Tinfoil hat on here but I'm sure we were cheated. I'm 100% sure I saw an envelop change hands between the officials and a Porto executive at the end of the match. Make of that what you will.

Obviously it was no coincidence Capoucho turned up for Rangers (rip) and Jankauskas turned up for the poppy thieves (Kaunas loan obv). Still lost sweat in the night over that evening when King Henrik was unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
