And yet here we are, comfortably ahead in the league by effectively 10 points.

This. . . . . and no Brown doing his usual thing - drafting MacGregor into that role is asking something from him (CMacG) that is not his natural attacking and goal scoring game. Besides, as predicted St Johnstone did their usual "park the bus" and systemically kick our players in the knowledge that the referee would let the game "flow". The body slam on Rogic was ridiculous. |

It's the same edge going for a domestic double treble, never been done etc and all that. Instead, we've got this flabby Celtic squandering points in a third of our league games bouncing along doing eff all whilst concentrating on Europe in a competition I don't think anyone thinks we will really win. Again, given the conditions of the hypothetical situ posted by Luca, would I swap a 27 point league in the league for a chance to go through into the last 16 of the EL ( A cup we won't win and the consequences of further a) poor domestic form with too many changes b) over-tiredness in the team) I'd say no. Would I rather we won on Sunday than Thursday. Of course not. It's a different thread that we should have been able to do both easily though. |

Only because the refs have it in for the huns or we'd be 2nd. I read that somewhere, maybe the Daily Record. |

so you're ' taking yesterday's result in isolation' when it's another game with the same issues, loads of possession and the opposition keeper not needing to wipe his gloves? there's a pattern to us at home especially but not exclusively, mainly due to floofing around with the ball and allowing a collection of inferior players to get organised. |

If we get turned over on thursday, there's an argument to say this is a Deila year. Appalling in the league, out of Europe and looking with a few nerves over our shoulder whilst watching the team play utter shampooe football. |

I'd love for this to be the case, but it's not happening. It's pretty obvious that we're happy enough to coast to our 7th title whilst Aberdeen do the bottle merchant shtick whenever they face us or the hun and the huns step on a rake every 3rd or 4th week. |

Given the massive difference in resources we should be looking to comfortably teams like St. Johnstone, especially at home. Instead, a lot of supporters seem content to rely on the Huns and the Sheep inevitably dropping points. I'd much rather be 27 points ahead at this stage, regardless of what it says about the quality of the league. It would prove we were several levels above the SPFL dross and heading in the right direction. Instead, we're currently getting dragged back to just above their level. |

Last season was a once in a lifetime year. Absolutely superb. This season we've suffered from a terrible injury list which has been very disruptive. Also it's fair to say that other teams have discovered a way to nullify our attack with a combination of high pressing and unpunished fouling. The average age of the team against Zenit was very young (can't be arsed working it out) and we were superb - that was last week. Having said that, some of the performances have been dire, can't argue with that at all, but there have been mitigating circumstances. |

Which is why I can live with two dropped points by our second string yesterday if it gives us the best possible chance to go through on Thursday. 9 points is still a comfortable lead and that is without 2nd & 3rd being even more inconsistent as we have recently.

last six games we're two points behind the hun. (and Hibs / Killie) so 2nd isn't more inconsistent? |

We have a bloated squad, mainly of midfield players, with a wage bill probably about 20 times the size of the likes of Kilmarnock and St Johnstone. We kept getting told we have the best squad in the league, yet when we play the fringe players we invariably struggle. Despite having a huge squad we have no cover for Tierney or Brown therefore we run them into the ground. Our training is causing us more injuries than matches, where is Compper? and when we get scudded by PSG a huge amount of people shrug their shoulders and say ah well it happens, look at the wage difference... People can't have it both ways. Last year was brilliant but we have not kicked on. Majority of our players have regressed probably because they can't be rested as our back up players, many signed by Rodgers, aren't good enough. I slated Strachan and Deila for the lack of entertaining football. I'm not going to be hypocritical on Rodgers. He gets over £2m per annum and last year looked like a tactical god with nearly every sub having a positive impact on the game. He's not doing that this season - like for like subs yesterday was a true wtf moment. We wasted the summer transfer window in our desperation to buy Roberts and failed to address other positions in which we were sorely lacking. Hence why we ship a huge amount of goals in European ties (particularly away ). No harm to Jack Hendry, but he isn't going to solve that issue any time soon.

Hibs are better than they have been in years. Kilmarnock have improved under Clarke New Huns have their most settled side since the Old Huns died. Aberdeen and Hearts have stalled a wee bit, but there are more teams capable of giving us a closer game |
