    We apparently haven’t lost an opening league match since 1997. Haven’t dropped points in an opening league match since 2007.

    Was on Hearts TV. Not sure how true it is but we need to get the finger out.

    Starfelt had a nightmare start but started to settle. Our fullbacks offer absolutely nothing. Forrest doesn’t work on the left. I’ll be kind and say Abada is ‘raw’.

    Second half…

    Complete utter bollox, the fact that we have haf to play Starfelt after only being at the club for a cpuple of days says it all really. To be honest the service had been utter * to Eddy today. Ralston amf Taylor try hard but we may as well not bother having wing backs.

    Need a spark up front. Starfelt, understandably looked nervous early on, but has been OK since.
    Really need a runner up front, and Eddy isn't it.

    I don’t know what people expect.

    The goalie and 2 full backs are lower 6 SPFL level at best.

    Bitton is Bitton and Starfelt has had one training session so far.

    Obviously we are going to struggle here. Just because you put them in a Celtic jersey doesn’t make them Celtic quality.

    The damage was done when we dragged our heels on Starfelt and continue to drag our heels on other targets. It’s all so unnecessary.

    Find this a bit of a head scratcher. Read similar * on social media and its a bit aggravating. He's had next to no time, yet shape of the team looks much better - bossing possession and if we had an actual striker and/or a fit James Forrest or Abada, we'd be doing more here.

    Why anyone thinks much is going to change this season is beyond me. We have seen the heart of these mice before, time after time.

    Celtic jerseys have definitely shrunk to fit inferior players. Ralston and Taylor and 3rd choice fullbacks, Bitton a makeshift CB at best, Forrest (* his * stats) is a half-arsed wee shitebag, McGregor is a wee schoolboy and never a captain, Abada is bang average and so many here are creaming themselves because he actually runs at someone and Edouard is * who couldn't give a * about us and wants out.

    Club is a complete shambles from top to bottom.

    Ange's body language and demeanour does nothing for me either. This is grim.

    Midjtylland 3 Celtic 2 over 2 legs and 0-1 against a newly promoted Hearts at HT in the SPFL opener..

    How is it not gelling? It's all the same usual * that have played last season.

    I'm not saying you guys are wrong, as I think these quotes reflect the patience of Celtic fans generally and that is zero patience.

    He might make personel change but he's not going to change his way of playing. It's going to take time.

    What a load of fecking pish. Our defenders are struggling because of how we are set up. Every time they break away we are like wains in the street all chasing the ball back. They are happy to sit back with 5 at the back as we can't do * all up front. This is a team that has came up from the Championship and we are struggling. Ok, we have most of the possession but look where that possession is. A better team than Hearts would be ripping us apart.

    Abada and Forrest have to swap sides. Not seeing the best of either here. Abada just wants to go on the outside the whole time on the right. Needs put out left for him to wander in on his right.

    Will repeat it and check the chat to verify if you're not clear yet. You don't get time here.
