    Ok, another * performance but let's not pretend this was some kind of masterclass from the scum either... It was a bullying display, on top of our absence, where they got most all of their chances in... Stupid early goal, stupid late goal... Otherwise both teams pretty much equally *!

    Gutted about today. It’s the character of the team that most concerns me. Completely lost our heads when we went 1 down. Defence awful today. Hopefully a wake up call we need a few signings come summer

    The first half looked like a masterclass, from kick off we looked 2nd best and lucky not to be 3-0 down at half time, definitely bullied but also played off the park in the first half.

    First half * us. Gifted chances by disgraceful passing and poor defending.

    We supposedly play an intense game but there wasnt any of that again. Was like watchjng a bjnch of polite peolle holdjng the door with the ball just passjng by.

    Second half much better but lacked that killer pass.


    Just too passice and i wont accept we dont do well against high pr3ss.
    We play high. We press. We chase. But look like weve mwver seen a fuckijg ball playijg these *. Fundamentals go riggt out the window agajbst them

    I took some time to digest the result before commenting. First half today did the damage. We were all at sea. McCowan in the McGregor role didn't work. Schmeichel had his worst game in a Celtic shirt. Schlupp looked petrified. Johnston was atrocious. Kuhn hid in the 1st half and the midfield was out of sync. CCV nowhere near as assured as he always is. Doesn't look fit. Such a poor display..

    Much much better in the 2nd half. But a sloppy goal conceded at the end. Even then Johnston should have equalised. It isn't acceptable to lose 9 goals in 3 games against this mob..OK they are a decent outfit who are in the EL quarters but we should not be so open against them. They near played through us at will in the 1st half. We were so sloppy. Rodgers needs to get a grip on this. I think he will and we will still win the treble.

    Our mentality is crap....they seem to have gained that in the last three games against us....that is not good.

    We can't do the new football trend of passing about at the back , it's * pointless too , you pass it about then end up launching it when under pressure so why not just launch it in the first place instead of causing goals, * happens all the time

    I dont believe its a mentality issue. Its a tactical issue.

    I think its both, Rodgers basically said it was a mentality issue after the Ibrox pumping saying we got complacent due to gap in points we had over them, today it was clear to see it was a tactical issue.

    The Huns aren't really that far off us but hey we've got champions league millions coming to sit in a bank and not go towards the team, what fun. This lot will be very lucky to get past the one round they need to get through to have us in the next CL but the Huns will go in to ridiculous debt to strengthen their team. I'm starting to think we got lucky this year that the bottom ten were more willing to give the Huns a go. If they all had resorted to their usual shitebaggery we would be in trouble.

    For the third game on a trot, we were bullied.

    It’s a shocking reflection on our team that the Huns looked fitter and hungrier despite playing 120+ mins a few days ago.

    Rodgers outfoxed by the baldy Belgian and now the wee Ned Ferguson. Did not like his comments, or attitude, coming into this game. Talked too much about Huns rather than just focusing on us. His arrogance is costing us.

    I take zero comfort from the league table. We are only 13 clear because the Huns are mega inconsistent, not because we are far superior than them. The head to head games of late prove that, they look like they’ve got the edge on us now.

    This team is soft as *. That’s the difference. They kick, pull and push. Tactical fouls, slow the game down etc. We are weak and naive.

    I’m giving them no credit for getting it level because it ultimately meant * all. Don’t think the injuries made any difference whatsoever.

    CCV and Johnston both absolutely abysmal.

    Agreed. These are the games to measure whether progress has been made or not.

    Ange’s team were relentless, Rodgers team far too hesitant.

    It may have LOOKED a masterclass in your eyes, but in reality they had 30% possession, 6 shots, 4 on target and 2 goals... Hardly a display for the history books to remember!

    As I said... Any aspect of how they appeared was through the lens of how much we weren't at the races!

    Devastated beyond belief. Didn't see that coming today. Schooled by a * pundit and his mates. We'll win the league but we'll do so by losing 3 games against then in all likelihood.

    BR for me is a massive part to blame. Ange had us playing them and not fearing them. BR has instilled a shitebag mentality into these players.

    He's rapidly turning into the same thing Mourinho is, a footballing dinosaur.

    Well... They're at least 13 points off us, after 30 games... And in my opinion, we're actually FLATTERING them, because we've gifted them a 12 point turnaround in the last 2 games together, and they should've dropped MORE to other teams...

    They're like hearts at this stage, they only actually really turn up for us, and we treat them like the other dross unlike as they actually deserve... I'm * off at our performance, but I'm losing NOT ONE WINK OF SLEEP that they're BACK!

    A LOT OF TRUTH in this, but that they're inconsistent and we're not worthy is bullshit! We are far superior to them overall, because we've averaged 2.5 of every single 3 points available... That's the sign of champions! That's getting * done! Losing the odd match to nearest rivals is window-dressing...

    I am talking head to head, one off games.

    If they get a new manager with an actual style of play and a couple players who know how to break a low block, they’ll not drop as many silly points next season. The derby games will have a lot more significance and we’ve struggled in the last 3.

    Mate a get wit your saying but this is the the type of attitude that seeped into our support when they started beating us under Gerrard, the minute you start accepting these performances against that shower a * then the more confidence they gain. Losing 3-0 at Ibrox with 0 fans was a sore one but not completely unexpected due to the circumstances, today was at Celtic park and the performance was a complete embarrassment and cant be just written off of due to us closing in on a title, we slept at the wheel before and looked what happened, when it starts becoming back to back defeats against 2 different managers and 3 poor performances on the bounce then its not just the odd game.

    You need to take the green specs off if you thought that was going to be a walkover in our favour today. The cup final and the Ibrox game proved we aren’t ahead of them as much as some fans think we are. They’ve players who don’t shy away from sticking the boot in or being that little bit nasty. Majority of our players haven’t a set of balls whether we like to admit it or not. Far too slow and soft today, like previous games against them. Rodgers hasn’t been outsmarted by Clement or Ferguson, he’s put the best 11 out today and they’ve * themselves. Hardwork beats talent - that’s exactly what’s happened today.
