    Though wilson has been pish in geting forward. Hinkel has been good.

    Nakas passing is brilliant, still a bit lightweight though.

    Though Brown and Hartley have ran the midfield, inparticularly Hartley.

    Once we get the first goal we should get another couple.

    McGeady out, for the card he has. Naka should go left, Caddis or Brown right.

    Surprised McGeady's still on the pitch, he'd better reel himself in the second half.

    Defence has played well and Wilson looks comfortable at LB, Hartley having another good show so far.

    Nice to see Naska back on the park as well. Roll on the second half here's hoping we get a goal, any goal.....

    Naka has played well.

    This first half is worse than the St. Mirren game so far. We better figure it out.

    not too bad an idea if caddis is brought on, i have a feeling mcgeady will get sent off.

    Very poor no improvement on Last week , Lacking any real width Naka doing ok getting on the ball and then doing nothing with it , Badly need a right winger and tuck Naka inside ,

    Skippy poor yet again not fit at all , Need to up the tempo this has been pish ,

    Agreed. Mcgeady's timing of the tackle has been terrible and is committing stupid fouls. He better wisen up or he's going to get himself sent off.

    He is amped up, but in a bad way which might cost us. Naka can pass the ball around, but every time he tries to line in for a pop at Zaluska, the Arab defenders swarm him.

    back four look solid but theres no imagination at all. no creativity so far and our options look limited on the bench.

    Very scappy game so far.

    We really need someone to put their foot on their ball in CM.I hope Crosas is as good as they hype or that Donati gets his * act togehter because we really lack that type of player atm.

    Our wing men haven't been good either.Naka'a been getting bouced around the place and McGeady's just been petulant. The Strikers can't do much if there's no service.

    I hope our CM imposes themselves on the match in the second half.

    This is supposed to be a team capable of challenging for the last 8 of the Champions League? Give me a break..

    Naka never works well out the wing and Gomis has him in his back pocket just now, has Naka running scared. Luckily defence looks better with Wilson at LB, Hinkel very willing to get forward.

    I'd take off Naka or Hartley for Robson, even move Brown out right and put Naka inside. Brown has looked better, tenacious and dynamic, just doesn't seem to have the same urgency round about him.

    Very poor first half, simply not good enough.

    Watching this Celtic team is like watching paint dry. They're quite comfortable to play the ball in their own half and with square balls but anything verging into the dundee united half and we crumble. Our passing has no been the best. Too many balls punted up the field to JVoH, Skippy hasn't been on form. We just basically don't have any creativity. We're slow and predictable & we seriously need to do something, mix it up a bit.
