Is 10 in row really in doubt now? I cant see celtic being stooped , so far ahead in every department most importantly cajones.

These European games coming up will define this period, this team, "the board ". What a time to be alive.

If we get 9 across the line then the board really has to invest for 10. I'm still not comfortable, we do have to go to Ibrox twice don't we? Even with all of their bad performances they still manage to put a shift in against us.

If Edouard does leave in the summer then the money in + some of the cash in the bank should be reinvested into the team, irrespective of what the rest of the league does. Make 10 and further in the Champions League a priority. In saying that however, I am enjoying the Europa league this year!

No we don't have to go to Ibrox twice. The next game against them is at Ibrox but then we will be at Celtic Park after the split.

Team for today, Forster, Ajer, Jullien, Bitton, Taylor, McGregor, Brown, Ntcham, Forrest, Griffiths, Edouard

Subs: Bain, Frimpong, Hayes, Rogic, Christie, Elyounoussi, Bayo.

Great to see Frimpong back on the bench. Jozo fcuked again.

Will be tough, in testing conditions, but we’re in such good form at the moment there’s justified cause for optimism.

McGregor puts Celtic 1 up after some great work by Griffiths, Edouard and Forrest

A Dub in Glasgo

Poor defending to allow Aberdeen to equalise, Taylor totally unmarked and even had the time to chest the ball and volley into the net

rockatansky

Aberdeen now dominating. Taylor going off injured so early is a big loss.

A Dub in Glasgo

Yep, Aberdeen causing all sorts of problems for Celtic

DavidLyons_

The wind is playing a part but we seem to be lacking energy. Big second half coming up.

DavidLyons_

Yeeeesss!!!

Pogue eile

Outstanding goal!!

A Dub in Glasgo

Lovely finish by Ajer but what a touch by Edouard in the midfield to set the move up

What a miss from Edouard :eek:

DavidLyons_

Phew! Great three points.

A Dub in Glasgo

That was a tough one but that was a big win

RoryMac

Great 3 points despite a poor performance in tough conditions. Good move for the winning goal and calm finish from Ajer.

Pogue eile

It's nearly over now! Super win in a real test of bottle. HH!

rockatansky

YESSSSSS!!!!!

Huge Win! Look how happy Lenny was at the end, straight over to the fans.

Bring on Copenhagen....

DavidLyons_

Big John Hartson is buzzing.

Fantastic result against an Aberdeen team that were up for it in very difficult conditions. Absolutely brilliant. What a team and manager we have right now, brilliant.

We made a few clear cut chances towards the end of the game. We know exactly what we're doing. Under Neil Lennon we have become a top class outfit. Still a long way to go but we're in the driving seat. We can be dangerous in the Europa league this season as well.

Agreed there's a belief in the team that they have the players to win even in tough circumstances like today, it's helped by have quality options on the bench to change things around. Lennon deserves massive credit for bringing this belief to the team as we looked more fragile under Rodgers.

We're well capable of being a threat to anyone in the EL this season so hopefully we keep this going

What a massive 3 points that was today. As ugly a game as your likely to see played in dreadful conditions with the swirling winds. I thought we invited pressure on ourselves at times with some silly fouls allowing them too many chances to put free kicks into our box. For for the most part we defended them well and the winner wow what a contrast to the game. The finish and composure shown by Ajer was top quality as was the back heel from Edouard in the build up which really opened up the move.

DavidLyons_

Team for today: Forster; Frimpong, Jullier, Ajer, Hayes; Brown, Ntcham, McGregor; Christie, Edouard, Forrest

Subs: Bain, Simunovic, Bitton, Bayo, Rogic, Bolingoli, Elyounoussi

Griff and Taylor left at home with knocks but Lenny saying they’ll be fine for the weekend.

Strong bench again. Would love a score draw tonight but have a feeling we might sneak a win.

Mon the Hoops!!!

DavidLyons_

Booom! Eddy finally manages to beat the keeper. Away goal in the bag.

A Dub in Glasgo

Lovely finish from Edouard for that goal, great opportunity in the first minute as well

https://streamable.com/rilqs

DavidLyons_

Very impressive again.

Get Elyonoussi on for Ntcham. He’ll run amok against that defence.

A Dub in Glasgo

Sloppy from Ntcham to allow Copenhagen in and they equalise

DavidLyons_

Fcuking sloppy since half time. Get it together Celtic. This is still there for the taking tonight.

rockatansky

Jesus Christ McGregor, utterly selfish.

A Dub in Glasgo

Very poor from McGregor, could have put Edouard away. Celtic 3 on 2

DavidLyons_

Here comes Elyonoussi now. Here we fcuking go!

DavidLyons_

Mad stuff that we’ve gone from hoping to finish the tie off at half time to hanging on for the draw now.

riffmongous

That was really a game of two halves, have to be relieved with the draw in the end

DavidLyons_

Good result. Terrible second half. Forster and Jullian the only ones with pass marks in the end. Their keeper was man of the match.

Would still make us favourites to go through.

rockatansky

Take the draw.

Julien with the heroics this evening.

PauloMN

Only caught 2nd half, I'm glad to hear we played better in the 1st, as we were completely outplayed in the 2nd.

Great result in the end, hopefully we finish the job at CP.

RoryMac

Yeah sloppy from us in the 2nd half but still not to bad going into the home leg.

Ntcham had a very poor game, giving the ball away far too easily. Hope Brown hasn't done himself any damage with that stupid tackle

eire4

Disappointed to not get the away win there as it was there for the taking. You have to give their keeper credit he made 5 excellent saves over the 90 minutes and he is the reason for me the score is 1-1 last night. A game of 2 halfs obviously with us dominant in the first half and the Danes in the second but really it was their keeper for me that kept them in it. Still an away score draw is a very decent result and leaves us in a good spot for the return next week at Celtic Park. Will be waiting to hear on Scott Browns injury and how serious it is. I would assume he is out for Sunday against Kilmarnock.

DavidLyons_

Forster, Simunovic, Jullien, Ajer, Frimpong, Rogic, McGregor, Christie, Taylor, Griffiths, Edouard

Subs: Bain, Bitton, Bauer, Bolingoli, Elyounoussi, Klimala, Bayo

Any game without Brown is a concern but the midfield looks very attacking.

Soro can’t even make the bench even with Brown out of the match day squad.

DavidLyons_

2-1 up!! Are we taking an insurmountable lead in the title race today!?!?

DavidLyons_

Boom. 3-1. Griff. Power sent off for Killie. Game, set and match for Celtic.

Anyone know when Rangers are releasing the DVD of their win over Celtic in December?
