Mulgrew is hopeless. Even in the game where he was supposedly MOTM v Thistle he got done like a kipper by Kris Doolan and he was woeful at Rugby Park in the game Rogic bailed us out with a wonder goal. Both Erik and Mulgrew lack pace. You can just about get away with it in the SPL, in Europe, you can forget it. Boyata won us the game against Qarabag at this time last year.

Don't you think people are reading into these clips a bit much? It's easy to look good in training and impress and follow tactics. You need to implement things when it matters and more importantly improvise when playing a match to be a successful player. We have a squad of weak players that shirk responsibility - no training can change that. |

Genuine question. If Rodgers dropped Brown, Bitton and Johansen (and I'd love nothing more) who would play in their instead assuming he keeps a three? McGregor Ajer Armstrong? Or maybe Henderson McGregor Armstrong? Best passes in the team is probably McGregor if Bitton isn't getting picked. Edited by Hagi Bhoy, 16 Jul 2016, 11:30 AM.

Rodgers main problem is the squad is nowhere near good enough. The fans have known this for a long time and some of the key players over the last few seasons are either gone, looking to get away, or finished. All that is left is the filler. The squad needs major major work and as things look just now thats not going to happen. Strachan inherited a team that would blow the current lot away and had already made six signings of which three were key players in his first season. Edited by titch, 16 Jul 2016, 11:56 AM.

Ajer is probably needed in defence..? But I'd go with that if we had another CB in - rather than Efe. Gordon Janko Cb Erik Tierney Ajer Armstrong McGregor Roberts Griffiths Dembele |

I don't recall how much money BR is being paid to manage Celtic but it's a lot. So surely before he signed on the dotted line he would have done a bit of research of his own.? Basic stuff really. How much is my salary. How long is the contract Give me dvds of ten of last season's Celtic games,five wins,five losses and I will speak again tomorrow. After watching those games and as a manager of high regard and experience he must have been able to write down a list of players that he didn't want, did want and ones he was undecided about, surely. As part of research he could also visit a fans forum. So with all that in mind and with Celtic wanting him so much surely he would have flexed his muscles and told our board that he will only take the job if player x,y and z are got rid off, surely.. We are always told that players are tough to negotiate with and it's hard to get them to come to Scotland etc etc so it's gotta be the same for managers? BR should have held all the aces but it appears that he did no negotiating apart from his salary and length of contract. The longer that BR let's this situation with transfers ( lack of) go on the more his power within the club diminishes. |

Maybe his selling point was improving the current players and spending little money -same reason RD got the job. We went from Moyes "done deal" "£20m budget upfront " to BR in a matter of days. |

Seriously depressing to think how bad things seemed when Strachan took over and compare our players then to what we have now. We had Hartson, Maloney, Balde, Petrov and he went out and bought Nakamura and Boruc. And that felt like a "malaise." |

It takes time to get to know the players. I am sure Kennedy and others will have given Rodgers a report on the players who are there. I would imagine he wanted to give them all a fair chance though and make his own mind up. Dvd's may have helped but they wouldn't help him understand how Deila was managing the team. There are no excuses for the other night but it was the first competitive game he has seen them play in. I am sure he got quite a shock at how bad some of them are. One positive may be that he has found out very quickly how poor a squad he has inherited. 2 or 3 quality players coming in would make a big difference. I just hope we get them before we are out the CL again. |

Aye life in the slow lane..... Slow lane!!! Right now it feels almost like one of those burnt out husks someone abandoned on some waste ground and torched for the insurance money. Oh no wait that was the huns wasnt it.... Edited by titch, 16 Jul 2016, 01:34 PM.

Nothing personal mate but this is what holds Celtic back as a club and as a support. Better than the huns? Cool, everything's fine. |

No offence taken - not always easy to infer a point and i probably didnt make mine clear. What i was meaning thats what the huns did - spent millions they didnt have - got away without paying them back. Wasnt meaning to infer we are better than them so its ok. What we do as a club should under no circumstances be based on what that other lot are doing - they should be totally insignificant in our decision making. Infact right now they seem to be getting well prepared for the season ahead, i've watched plenty of full of glee posts laughing at how they are wasting money with their decrepit signings. On the other side ive read plenty of posts and other stuff that i find embarrassing - the here we go ten in a row chant is one that makes me cringe, nothing like setting yourself up for a fall that one. Here we are stumbling on as we have done for several seasons doing enough to win the league and getting no-where near value for money in the signings we make. I for one don't feel that Rodgers agreed to become the manager based on us spending big, i think he is a Celtic fan that would have taken the job almost no matter what and is probably vain enough that he can achieve great things with average players. |

Thought this was very clever today. When defending in our half we dropped into a standard 442 ![]() When we had the ball we quickly moved into a 352 The defence looked solid and he obviously recognises both Lustig's strengths and weaknesses. The midfield were much sharper and the movement was much improved. There was also a real emphasis on Ajer and O'Connell stepping into midfield to help create an extra man that really opened up the angles for forward passing. Really huge improvement from Tuesday night. Delighted. |
