Celtic FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

The 2nd yellow would not have happened if the ref was doing his job. Taylor was fouled and the ref waved play on, Bitton then took the DU player out

The foul on Taylor ignored by the ref, probably should have been a booking for Niskanen but the ref decided to ignore it and then books Bitton for the 2nd yellow... go figure

Yeah, keeper did time waste, I agree.

But I also think Taylor went down very easily, just like the DU player did.

Hatate 1-0

That #31 for Rangers is having as bad a half of football as I've seen in a long time.

Celtic on fire! 3-0

Kris Boyd will be going mad at half time! Why no away fans ?

Rangers decided they can no longer watch Celtic fans celebrate at Ibrox so cut the Celtic fans out of Ibrox. Celtic decided to reciprocate in kind

Special night. Anyone remember the mood in here last year and then in the summer the concern that Ange might not be afforded the time to oversee the necessary rebuild. Only two players from last season started tonight. No league won yet but the manner he has assembled this side and got them performing in such a timeframe is hugely impressive.

Missed this earlier but so glad you quoted your post... a very accurate assesment of Ange!

Giovanni was giving out about the ball boys not throwing the ball back quick enough. Grasping at straws there.

Rangers have been poor enough all season. When Ross County put 3 past them last Saturday and they drew against Aberdeen the previous week I thought it was our opportunity to hit them hard.

Ange has done some job and the players he has brought in have really improved the team. The attitude of all the players tonight was top class. Need to keep it going against motherwell on Sunday.

I thought he might have given Scales a few minutes late on when Taylor looked like he was injured. Scales has done well when he has been playing.

So true about Ange. Not just are we winning games but the football under Ange is a joy to watch. I did say it early on when we were losing some games that I could see what he was trying to do and if he could pull it off it would be something special to watch. The exciting thing is clearly we are still in the rebuilding phase you can clearly see there is more to come.

But it is who Ange is as a person as well that is so impressive. When he said this after Wednesdays game there is simply nothing else that needs to be said about Ange as a person.

"We had 60,000 in here. I’m sure a lot walked in with some problems in their lives and for this 95 minutes we made them forget that and feel good - and that's something special."

Another good thing about the manager is he takes no nonsense from the press. It reminds me of the response years ago by Jock Stein when they tried to trap him. He was clear Celtic were not sectarian but one reporter asked "All the same Jock if there were two boys of equal ability, one Catholic and one Protestant, which would you sign?" He was sure he had trapped Jock who replied "That's easy. I'll sign the protestant lad. Rangers will nae sign the catholic" The trap rebounded.

I feel very sorry for poor mcgregor, they must have really upset his feelings.

Abada should have left that for Rogic who had a tap in

Rogic now makes it 3
