Of all the days not to criticise the manager.

He's managed to put a spine in this god forsaken bunch and with a few astute signings will improve us. His aim was to get us there and he did.

Great achievement by the manager when you remember the shambles he took over & the little time & money he has had.
Last night was the perfect result & performance. The result gets us there & the performance leaves everyone in no doubt that the squad has to be strengthened in the next week. Had we played ok some would have been saying they're happy to go with what we have.
The funds are now available & the manager clearly knows who he needs, so get it done Celtic. We've spent the absolute minimum yet again but managed to squeeze through this time. To not strengthen now would be totally unacceptable.

Well done to Rodgers and his staff.

Lawwell needs to back him now. We still need at least 4 players and a load of dross shipped out.

This. BR has delivered what he was hired to do- the board now need to back him. This is avery limited squad we have (in terms of quality). We need additions if we are to avoid a few pumpings in CL

A manager is measured on what he can squeeze out of the resources he has at hand.

Well we know what he inherited from last season, an under performing, mentally fragile group.

On top of this he has spent around £4m.

He lost to injury 2 of the better players from last year ( Erik & Paddy ) and was left at times with a defence of 3 players under 21 with no European experience between them and a 35 year old free transfer to manage them.

We have a 100% record domestically and are through to the CL all whilst having to deal with commitments to glamour games.

If this manager doesn't deserve more resources then none do.

Plan A didn't work as some of the players bottled it!

Plan B didn't work either.

Plan C worked and got us through.

We have a manager who can change things, if things go wrong

Spend a couple of million on a real manager who immediately earns you £30m.

Wasn't that difficult Celtic, was it?

Considering 3 of our 4 players who never shat it were his signings, the board need to back this guy.

Thought his initial team selection was a bit strange and subs had me scratching my head (with the exception of Eric) and leaving Janko on the field almost gave me a heart attack but in the cold light of day we all know the squad he's working with and he's done wonders to get us into the CL
Hopefully he'll get some backing from the board now

Need two (minimum) first team picks through the door, if we're to maintain momentum.

I didnt mean to criticise-apologies However the margins are very fine, that has to be acknowledged. The previous manager would not have negotiated the qualifiers of that Im sure

As others have said should now be backed

Congrats Brendan. Job done. A remarkable achievement really. The mind set of the bulk of the squad would have chucked it in the first leg and froze on the second. Great turn around. Domestically undefeated and into the big cup proper. Good times.

He's delivered 100% - after the first Imps game it was looking like the Europa would be a bonus this year.

He certainly made some strange decisions last night but right now I CGAF.

We only need 2 or 3 good players added to the team and we will have a pretty decent starting 11.
