Morelos still the main man up front and it’ll take a prolonged barren spell of no goals (unlikely) to change that. You also need to factor in that as long as he’s playing and scoring goals he remains (probably) Rangers most profitable player to move on. We're asking our strikers to do a different job than we did last year. They're now required to act more as facilitators than finishers. Presumably this is to spread the goals around the team and ensure we're not so susceptible to our main striker losing form. Roofe is far better at this than Morelos, his touch, work rate and runs off the ball are all better. Is really great at finding space. I'm willing to bet that when both are fully fit, Roofe clearly establishes himself as the No.1 striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I think the point everyone is missing is that neither “organisation” actually WANT to win 10IAR.Yeah, the fans, players, managers do, but if it happens it fucks up the current “status quo” between the ugly sisters. Bragging rights for individual games are HUGE, no doubt about it, but really they just want to maintain their position as the ugly (twin) sisters with no chance of a “Cinderella story” ever happening again. 10IAR upsets the apple cart way too much so there was never any chance it would happen. WUASTC celtgers fans, it’s already decided! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WUASTC celtgers fans, it’s already decided! So ignoring all the sentimental stuff-Celtic, a PLC, dont want a potential automatic champions league spot next season, a huge money spinning injection and to further assert financial dominance ahead of their nearest rivals? Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds? I know it paints a nice narrative regarding the old duopoly stuff but if theres one thing a company wants is a legal monopoly.

Dons_1988 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Reading through the Celtic thread to discover Jermain '3 appearances and 1 goal by the end of October' Defoe is worth every penny of his £30k/week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMCs Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 11 hours ago, gannonball said: dont want a potential automatic champions league spot next season There is no potential automatic spot next season as the effect of the improvements in the national coefficient is always delayed by a season. Maybe in season 22/23 but I actually think it's looking more likely that it won't be till 23/24. We already know what round every entrant from this season will be looking at: 1st - enters in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions path of the CL 2nd - enters in the 2nd qualifying round of the non-Champions path of the CL CW (or 3rd if the Scottish Cup winners finish 1-3 in the league) - enters in the 3rd qualifying round of the EL 3rd and 4th - enter in the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League I do agree with your general point though as it is clear that the path to the CL group stage for the team that wins the league is significantly easier so it makes exactly zero sense that Celtic would deliberately sabotage that. The reason for not qualifying twice under Lennon has more to do with daft mistakes either tactical and/or in terms of timing of recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 They're 3 points behind, we're at rugby park next, so it's easily possible that they could be level again on Sunday.
