Motherwell vs Celtic (Contains final score)

Well, it ended Motherwell 4—4 Celtic. I watched the first half and Celtic were leading 3—1, but they seem to have collapsed in the second half. Motherwell were actually leading 4—3 going into injury time. The first two points dropped. Their defence needs to be sorted fast.

wow, celtic are in bits. I wouldnt like to be Strachen now. I think Celtic were punching above their weight for a long time but they are defintely better than this.

I think it shows how class a manager O'Neill was. Trying to buy players for peanuts, play in a crap league and still perform successfully in Europe. I'm going to stick some money on Strachan to go. He and the players obviously learned nothing from Wednesday evening.

It took Strachan a month to get his first win at Soton. He won just once in his first 8 or 9 games at Coventry. He focuses so much on fitness that you have to wait a while to see the results.

As I've said before, woeful defence, English division 2 standard at best. The rest of the team is up there with the top half of the premiership.

At least they found where the goal is. Thats a start.

BTW, on Wednesday Strachan supposedly had a pretty normal training session before the match that evening.

shocking start...celtic have a standard to maintain not a team to build for the future...it may have been aceptable at soton cos they were aiming for a respectable position in the premiership but its much tighter in scotland/europe... players are needed now simple as that

The PLC board have a lot to answer for. The complete lack of investment since the UEFA Cup final is now bearing fruit. Muppets.

Yup that's the main problem alright but Strachan still has to answer for the last 2 diabolical results

I think it shows how poor his treatment of youth players was that Strachan has inherited this team. If he was still around the same problems would exist.

A lack of youth players is a national problem in Scotland.

Rubbish. They would not have been so shamelessly naive in the CL under O'Neill.
