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

Still in our hands. Casual Celtic fan, as is every Irish person. As a Leeds fan, I'd forgo their promotion if it meant Celtic won the league, luckily they're not mutually exclusive!

I think Celtic fans and Irish people have waited a long time to see Celtic pass out Rangers in league titles. Win this and one more season to draw level. Go ahead and it will be a monumental moment for me. Something I've waited my whole life to see!

We'll definitely win it this year imo

Finished 4-2 with Maeda getting his first hat-trick for Celtic and the first Celtic player to score a hat-trick this season

It was his 100th game for us too so quite the way to mark it. He hit the bar as well and had a couple of other chances.

Strange game in many ways. I thought we were decent in the first half without putting the game away and then the second half again we started well but didn't take our chances and then O'Riley makes a bad mistake which leads to their second goal. We got rocked by that but thankfully managed to grind it out with 2 late goals.

Obviously Maeda with the hat trick takes the plaudits. But I also though Kuhn showed well as did Johnston especially linking up with Kuhn in attack. At the back though Welsh had a nightmare and Scales I thought was not great either.

Yes I thought we played quite well. Really it could easily have been 5 or 6. They were very lucky we only won 3-1.

Kyogo denied a certain pen. Goalless at HT

Forgot to say what a great display from the Celtic fans as the teams entered the field

No question that would be pivotal. I have to say though I think it will be a big ask given how in over drive the "honest mistake" brigade are at the moment and we saw that again this weekend with us not getting a pk at 0-0 when it clearly was and even if you give the ref the benefit of the doubt the replay clearly showed Devlin kicked the back of Kyogo's heel so VAR should have given it. I mean that is exactly what VAR is there for yet nothing and yet another "honest mistake".

I totally agree with you that it has been a long term issue. But I do feel that recently it has been on steroids. With Crawford Allen leaving his post at the end of the season he has nothing to loose and the fact is the "honest mistakes" have had a very significant negative impact against us so far this season and very often its very small margins that decide games. So for me while I do feel much happier now that CCV is back leading the defense and Hatate has made his return this weekend and hopefully McGregor will return next weekend while all those things and Kyogo looking more like himself is certainly cause for optimism which is great as a month ago it was not looking good at all. Having said all that I still feel due to the "honest mistakes" and VAR that we will be doing well to get a result next weekend.

Here's hoping your right and my not so optimistic feelings are misplaced.

I will just drop this here, some fantastic drone footage of the display the other day

What a start

The 1st goal was comical and only 20 seconds on the clock.

Quite funny considering all the talk around Tavernier and he goes and does that, the funny bit being the whole i got this body language before thinking s**t Maeda is on me here.

Penalty was nerves of steel, I thought the sound had gone off for a minute. The small positive of there being no away fans was to experience a full Ibrox in stunned silence.

Only half time though and Hart has kept it at 0-2 for the break.

That's embarrassing

Some turn around.

2-2

So, similar contact to the penalty, so should be ruled out.

Shadowy league figures must be raging about that. Nothing they could do to allow the goal.

Idah should have done better with that chance.

8 Minutes of added time…

3-3 now
