Both options have a definite league win. If we don’t bother about competitions we’re not going to win, why the hysteria over the CL performances? I don’t believe anyone would prefer to be out of Europe because they don’t think a 9 point lead in the league is enough. |

What hysteria over CL performances? I've seen Celtic chuck leagues 5 points clear with 4 to go, so I'd much prefer a bigger gap, considering the tripe we're up against. Edited by Flawless, 19 Feb 2018, 01:25 PM.

in fairness to Rodgers the players he is picking to come in simply aren't doing the business. whether thats down to his style of play this season or the personnel not being good enough is another argument. |

Must’ve been mistaken. The CL obviously passed without mention, as the only interest is our long term prospects in the league. The league is won, whether the lead is 9 points or 27. I don’t believe anyone would prefer to be out of Europe at this stage. |

That kinda passive attitude towards the league is incorrect. It's still our bread and butter and should be wrapped up asap. |

What I said was I don’t believe that anyone would prefer we weren’t in Europe just so we could wrap the league up a bit earlier than we will. |

Yeah agree there. I'm not one of these hysterical types doing the rounds thinking we're going to get challenged, i'm just of the mindset I'd like to see it get put to bed asap. A few seem to forget we stretched our lead at the weekend

And others are sayin our league form is poor no goals and 1 point from the last 2 and hardly any chances being created. |

Rodgers comments about St Johnstone raising their game could equally be applied to us in recent weeks. |

You mentioned hysteria about CL not me. I'd rather have a bigger gap in the league. League isn't won yet. Like I said, we've seen Celtic throw it away from a better position. |

I'm not being passive toward the league, obviously I want us to win it first and foremost. All i'm saying is that I'd prefer to be in Europe and have a shot at the treble than not in Europe and have a shot at the treble. I'm also taking yesterday's result in isolation due to the changes we made in preparation for Europe - and i'm happy for us to do that if it's an option. As for the rest of our poor results, I do get that the league performances have been rotten pretty much all year but we've had as bad a run of injuries as I can ever remember. However, BR also needs to address how other teams are parking the bus against us. All that being said, we're on course for a treble and an extended EL run...which makes it difficult to be overly critical of the time. Have they been entertaining? No, but they have been getting results when it counts. That clear it up for everyone? Naw, me neither

You’d rather have a bigger gap in the league? So you’d rather have won yesterday than qualify on Thursday? Sorry, not having that. Not at all. |

I know mate, I have been one of them moaning how dull its been this year at times but its always been a constant theme with Celtic fans. Unacceptable to be anything less than double digits ahead of Aberdeen/Sevco/whomever while complaining about the lack of domestic competition. We drew a game at home with our second string because we have 2 European ties in the space of a week, it happens. It now sets up a pretty exciting, competitive tie on Sunday against Aberdeen, which I happen to think the 1st 11 will step up for. |

Going back to the original hypothetical. I'd rather have a 27 point lead. So you don't need to have anything |

Well if we are 27 points clear and out of Europe our next largely competitive game would be the Scottish Cup Final barring Aberdeen or Sevco in the Semi. The season would be done till then. |

Of course but contrast to the appalling nature of the Deila years and the invincible run gave it an edge right the way through. I think if we were 27 points clear in February while getting skelped out of Europe fairly early for the next 5 years, the crowds would started to tail off again, particuarly after the "title winning" game.
