    No doubt we have been doing well is it totally down to us getting better or have the standards of the other teams dropped ?

    watching the game last night and could not even think it would be that easy just seems that the other clubs seem to be falling a little might be wrong

    I think both. We've definitely improved since last season but there's no doubt the huns have got much worse.

    I think teams are starting to fear us again.

    aye, think this is a big thing. if teams come to CP thinking that they can get a result, then they have a much better chance of doing so. if they come thinking they will get gubbed, then they probably will.

    We were exceptionally good last night. We have got much better.

    I genuinely believe we'll make the last sixteen f the Champions League if we keep up this form.

    We're getting better without a doubt. But I think the Hearts, rangers etc. are obviously getting worse, then your ICT's, DU, M'Well's etc are getting better.

    I think other teams such as St.Mirren, Kilmarnock and Dundee United have gotten a lot better but we have gotten a lot better.

    They are much, much worse.

    In recent weeks we have improved but it's nothing drastic imo.

    I would say its more to do with us fulfilling our potential than anything else, for a number of reasons we never did so which lead to falling 15 points behind that hun mob.

    About time. :icon_mrgreen:
    Still think we need to get some more scalps skelped good and proper.

    Next 5 league games:

    Saturday, 11 February 2012- Celtic v Inverness CT, 15:00
    Sunday, 19 February 2012- Hibernian v Celtic, 15:00
    Saturday, 25 February 2012- Celtic v Motherwell, 15:00
    Saturday, 3 March 2012- Aberdeen v Celtic, 12:00
    Saturday, 17 March 2012- Celtic v Dunfermline, 15:00 (dates changed due to LC final)

    3 home games are a must for some proper skelpage (4/5-0), and really start to show our class.

    Shut the * up ya Jonah! :icon_mrgreen:

    Seriously though, I think we are some way off that yet. First thing's the league. Second is CL qualification. That being said, we are definitely heading in the right direction.

    Only things missing for me are a wee bit of a spark in the midfield when we need to unlock a tighter defence - we may already have the answer in Ibrahim.

    The other thing is Kris Commons - if he can get himself a couple of goals I think he'll start to get his form back.

    Given that our defence has stabilised of late, and our goalie is on fire, that area is now looking sound.

    These minor improvements and I think we really will start to look formidable - in a European sense.:50:

    Expected a lot more from Hearts the game was a bit of a anti climax and as a contest it was over after 2-3 minutes.We have improved a lot but think the standard of the league has also dropped a bit.

    We've got better this season, we looked very good last season and played some exceptional football, but I think we look a bit mentally tougher this season which is a good sign.

    They have got worse, but that's their problem, we've still got to go out and show we are the best team in Scotland and we can only do that by winning the SPL this season which I am more than confident we'll do.

    We are on fire at the moment. It's been years since we've had a run like this. The turnaround in the team since October is just phenomenal.

    Average age of 23 last night, too. The future is bright, folks.
