The Celtic All Seasons thread


Recommended Posts

It's great to see academy players getting their chance,there is always a hard balance to make between buying players and bringing them through the ranks.
It's too easy for the Celtic fan base to right players off because of their own expectations of where the club should be.
Ralston (22),Welsh(21),Montgomery(19) and Johnston(22) have a chance to contribute to a long season ahead.

CELTIC boss Ange Postecoglou is set to add a second Japanese star during the January transfer window, according to reports.

It is claimed that a January move for Daizen Maeda - a standout for the Celtic manager's former club Yokohama F. Marinos - is in the pipeline.

Kyogo Furuhashi has made a huge impact since arriving at the club in the summer and the Times claims that Postecoglou is now hopeful of secuing a reunion with Maeda.

Postecoglou is already on record as saying he will return to the J-League and the pacy Maeda - who can operate up front or off the left in a manner similar to Furuhahshi - seems tailor-made for Postecoglou's approach.

The 24-year-old has scored 18 goals and earned three assists so far already this season and is making his way in international football - having scored for the Japan Olympic team in a 4-0 win over France at the Tokyo Games in July.

The Times claims well-placed sources in Japan expect a deal taking him to the Hoops to follow for a man who has tasted European football before after spending the 2019-20 season with Maritimo.

I was at your game on Tuesday and Montgomery was the obvious weak link in the team and could sense the crowd getting on his back when he either went backwards with the ball or misplaced a pass ( was a few)

Aye, poor Neil eh?

Lol wut? A statue. Behave 

We should arguably be building statues to this man, 

The rest of the article is pretty much everyone and everything is to blame for Lennon’s failures and not Lennon himself 

Lennon too over a Rodgers team that was all conquering domestically, nobody could touch us and turned that team into a pile of shite.

Got a bit of momentum now, October on paper looked like our most difficult run of fixtures and if we can take 3 points on Wednesday that will be a pretty good return of points and we are right back in contention.

Some amount of histrionics at the end of last month with folk turning on the manager but now we have players back and options back on our bench we are starting to look much more comfortable and hopefully these fans are getting back behind Ange again.

Still every confidence the big man can deliver us some success.

Surely a run that includes Hearts and Rangers are more difficult ?

None of the above fixtures are traditionally problematic for Celtic (Livi away would have been a different proposition). You are also playing Hibs when they are horribly out of form.

You were never out of contention tbh. I said from the start that your spending power vs the other teams always made you favourites. If you include the £6.5m agreed for Jota, then Ange has spent c.£20m - has another team even paid £1 in transfer fees this season ?

You are back to having the type of monetary advantage you had when Ronny was the gaffer and he delivered 100% on league titles as I expect Postecoglu to do.

They're hardest run of games and if you combine all their squad wages it doesn't come to 50% of Celtics [emoji23]

Traditionally we aren’t in 6th position coming into October either so when you factor in that 4 of our 5 fixtures in October were to be against clubs ahead of us in the league, 3 of those being away when we hadn’t won a domestic away fixture in 8 months, the volume of injuries we had and the pressure that was mounting then taking all of that into account it’s probably the most difficult run of fixtures we may see this season until the split.

Bear in mind also in August playing Hearts away a newly promoted team was considered on here a banter loss, wins to Dundee and St Mirren were wins and big scores due to them being bottom of the league teams so shouldn’t be considered difficult fixtures which leaves us with the 1 remaining league match at Ibrox.

Apologies must've misread the fixtures either way the only difficult game Celtic should have domestically should be Rangers.

Should be yes however should be doesn’t factor in a lot of other mitigating circumstances.

Should Hearts be top of the table after 10 games, half of which were draws? No they shouldn’t be based on previous seasons but here we are 🤷‍♂️

Given your financial advantages, with the right manager there shouldn’t really be any difficult fixtures.

Your 2nd choice right back and 4th choice left back cost £3m each.
