    Kühn or Bernabei LWB. There's even the option of playing Iwata as a CB, so we don't have to fear a lack of pace at the back.

    Not gonna have a go at the manager when we've just achieved such a good result in the fight for 2nd place.

    Literally said that to the fella next to me at the bar as well.

    Whatever happened in that last 20 worked and worked well at that.

    Got out of jail again. There are still issues with his system that need addressing.

    The result changes nothing. Still has to go if we are to have any chance of winning the league

    100% mate. For the first time in years (last time was when we were getting pumped off that Prague side at Celtic park I think) I almost switched it off at half time. Didn’t see the point in watching. Absolutely no chance we were winning it. But we did. And we deserved it

    On the face of it, it looks like another lucky one like against Hibs; but IMO we deserved that win. Admittedly, I was working first half.

    Kuhn shouldnt be near the team in that form.
    Iwata is a defensive mid and thats the only place for him in this team.

    We had characters who stepped up and made their mark.
    CCV, our rock, providing solidity and calmness at the back.
    Idah with good movement and determination to make two crosses his and finshing wonderfully.

    First half awful, out of jail again with Idah and Yang.
    Stay of execution for now
    If he gets that 2nd half attitude in every half until end of season - he/we have a chance.
    If not, he's gone

    It's the only team on Wednesday. He'll start Maeda though

    Wouldn’t mind Maeda starting. He wasn’t bad today. Just your typical Maeda performance. I’d probably have Palma ahead of him though myself.

    I’d have Nawrocki and CCV in though.

    The second half showed that the players are still playing for him, and we showed a lot of bottle and fight. We’ve had a few false starts this season, but today simply has to be the catalyst for us to kick on. Talk of changing managers when we are 2 points off top is lunacy in my opinion. We haven’t been good enough for a lot of the season, but sacking Rodgers to then try and scramble to bring someone in would just be absolute madness. It’s no happening anyway.

    Anyone hear Brendan's BBC Scotland post-match? Sounded like a total child.
    -
    "We started with a little bit of anxiety...we weren't really at the level"
    "What was affecting the players in the first half?...Celtic fans would be interested to know"​
    "No, I'll talk about the second half"

    -
    "There's a story been written about this group, but we will write our own story"
    "...Could you give us a bit more about what you mean..."
    "no...good girl, well done, cheers"

    Then he * off. Embarrassing, especially when compared to Stuart Kettlewell a few minutes before.

    STOP picking holes to suit your agenda. Get behind the manager and the team now until the season is over

    He needs to get us going for the full 90 minutes. Right now, we seem to only turn up for one half.
