Going by the BBC league tables, we are the top scorers in Britain and nobody has played fewer games than us. In the league that is. Edited by Country Mac, 16 Dec 2016, 09:54 PM.

I see Kennedy took the pre-match press conference yesterday. Thought he handled it really well, coming across confident, articulate and knowledgeable. |

So far so good in the month which usually sees us dropping points needlessly. The lack of Europe after Christmas is a bit disappointing, but the positive is it should mean Brendan has even more time to coach the lads and that can only be a good thing. |

Realistically it was a bonus to be in the CL for as long as we were. Next season is when we'll start to really see what he's been doing. |

I didn't think we would make the group stages at all. He's made such a difference already with a very busy schedule that it can only be good for him to have extra time with them on the training field. The two games against Man City and the away against BMG are indicators of the level he wants us to step up to. Bloody exciting! Edited by ghirl86, 18 Dec 2016, 11:38 AM.

For me the 2 things that we need for a successful season are winning the league and getting to the CL group stages. Packy Bonner was on the radio saying that Brendan had talked about 7 targets for this season but in terms of developing the club at this point in time the biggest factor by miles is getting the revenue from the CL group stages. As far as current form is concerned the biggest issue for me is the newly acquired nervousness at the back. Both Hamilton and Dundee were a bit too exciting at the end. Still no harm done and hopefully the coaching staff and the players are on the case. Would love to close the year off with 4 wins. |

I always want us to get CL. I just didn't think we would with this group of players and it being so early in Brendan's reign. CL revenue must be used wisely. I hope that some of it will be going to help the YA as well as the first team. |

BRENDAN RODGERS looks set to give Celtic Academy kids their chance against Partick Thistle tonight. Rodgers is desperate to beat Alan Archibald’s Jags to stretch Celts’ unbeaten domestic run to 21 games. But the Hoops manager is set to take a risk by handing debuts to teenage starlets. SunSport understands 18-year-old Calvin Miller is one of those he wants to see in first-team action. The Scotland Under-19 cap has emerged as an attacker but Rodgers is believed to see potential in him as a left-back. Miller trained with the first team yesterday with boss Rodgers also considering giving other youngsters a chance. He said: “I’ll look at some young players. “Coming here, my vision was based on three fundamental principles. “One, to win as many titles as we possibly can. “Two, to win by playing an attacking, aggressive brand of football. “Three, to have young players from the Academy in here. “We’ve had some players in, but it would be nice to look at one or two others and see how they cope with the pressure. “That’s always been my way. I look for the now, but I look to the future as well, so there may be an opportunity for one or two of the younger boys on Tuesday. “This is what building a club is about, creating the hope for youth players. “If they don’t think they can play, why should you have an academy? “That’s how I’ve always worked, putting the young players in. “But they have to be ready, not totally ready, of course, and show the ingredients that they can come in and play in the first team. That’s very important to a big club.” Celts had to break down a defensive Dundee side on Saturday to win 2-1. But Rodgers has no problem with opposition teams setting up to stop his team from playing. He added: “No, it’s brilliant. Every boss, every coach has a different way. “If that’s the philosophy of the opponent then you have to find a way to break that down and I enjoy that challenge. I enjoy that strategic look at the game. How can we play against that? “That’s why it’s so important my team plays out of different systems because eventually, when we get in the flow of our game, it forces teams back and we create chances and score goals. “So if teams block out that space you have to find a different way.” Rodgers also revealed he’s a big fan of Thistle boss Alan Archibald. He said: “I’ve watched his side and how he tries to play. He’s a courageous coach. He does well with the limitations he has.” Meanwhile, Tom Rogic’s ankle has been encased in a moon boot after he was crocked in the win over Dundee. He misses out tonight and is a doubt for the matches against Hamilton and Ross County. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/s |

I was wondering about Rogic. Hopefully he's fit for the Hogmanay game. |

Rodgers apparently made sure he was played at LB in a few of the development games so he must have seen something. Apparently same switch happened with Tierney a while back. Winger > left back. |

It would be madness to sell him now but if Torino came back in I'd absolutely gouge them for the way they conducted themselves previously. |
