    Totally agree with you. I am not against selling our best players at their peak, BUT we MUST always replace them with Quality. Our squad is fully of fillers and not the match winners that we need. I hope some of the Kids make a breakthrough this season for some sort of good news.

    Only pass marks were Donovan & Murray. The rest should be ashamed of themselves.

    Sell CCV, Maeda, Idah.

    CCV too slow on the ball, will have more benefit from a season of Murray. We’ve had the golden season out of Maeda last year and Idah it’s just not working. Missing the penalty will not help things either.

    As many are saying Donovan looks a far better prospect than ralston. Painful having him as back up to AJ, who I don’t think is good enough either.

    I think we are looking at a rebuild and a new manager end of season. Its too late to do it now this season but there were alarm bells over the place over those two ties.

    It may be a season here too long for some of the longer serving players now and theres a whole bunch of players that for one reason or another just need to move on or are not at the level needed.

    With better and earlier recruitment this window we may have staved it off for another season and been able to do it more gradually but I think now we are looking at next Summer being a total demolition job.

    Doesn't matter who we sell. They won't be replaced.

    We are an absolute mess. Again, fortunate that we play in a league such as Scotland and up against what looks like yet another poor Hun side. * forbid they get their act together.

    Not a surprise tonight. The board have treated this game like it was a pre-season friendly. To not even attempt to replace players is an absolute disgrace, and we absolutely deserve all we get. We will go into the qualifiers next year with the same attitude as well. We have had enough warnings over the years, and we have never learned. We are a * joke.

    I don't agree.
    Playing in a poor league means you don't have to do much to succeed. Playing in a more competitive league means the club has to improve to survive!!

    £40M down the drain and so avoidable, I didn't see it coming, I could see no way Kairat could beat us over two legs, but I did say the other day it might come down to penalties, and they are pretty good at penalties, we are *, witness Aberdeen and tonight.

    Only @Blochairnbhoy and @PaulM1888 saw this shitshow coming I think.

    Rank incompetence by both Rodgers and the Board.

    I'm at the stage where I would welcome a takeover of Celtic FC by Celtic minded people who have the best interests of the club at heart.

    Imagine they had their full team tonight.

    Would’ve been more comfortable for them.

    The biggest compliment I can give the people running the club is that even the most devout Celtic fans I’ve spoken to tonight couldn’t care less.

    They’ve removed the emotion from the support. It’s beyond apathy at this point.

    It’s absolutely normalised getting knocked out by a Kazakh team with their two best players and their keeper injured.

    The team selection tonight, and even the subs coming on.
    No disrespect to them, but..
    Brendan Rodgers hands were tied behind his back big time for this!.
    Having to bring on two youth players with zero experience at this level, biggest game of the season??
    Aye we were *, but we've had plenty time to get in a couple of wingers at the very least, instead of * Yang as a starter

    Two of the best players we saw on the night as well.

    We have enough to beat them, and then take into a account, they’re biggest threat and best player was suspended, the main striker they’ve brought in injured last minute the day of the gam

    If that result wasn't predictable then * knows what is.

    2nd leg was a reflection of the 1st.

    Fair play to Karrots, they closed us down, gave us no space.

    Our board saved a few quid and lost a dream. 12 months since Kyogo said he wanted away. Let that sink in.

    If Rodgers goes after this season, how long will it take to replace him? A mess.

    Well done Kairat. They played their game well.

    They’ll say Rangers are pretty * aren’t they, everyone will laugh, think they’re great lads. That’s the usual way

    Would it be to much to ask for a Board member to give a statement to clarify....Why players werent replaced to be ready for the CL qualifier??
