    When the huns sign that * from Everton later, they'll have spent more than us on a single player than we have this entire window.

    Heads need to roll for this. This isn't an accident of something that couldn't be controlled. This is self sabotage and something we all seen coming!!!!

    I might be a bit older than you mate. Getting a p
    I'm talking more about the fixture historically. I remember us playing much better teams when they were actually Rangers.

    I think it all boils down to our board having the ambition to be a bawhair better than the huns and that's the extent of the ambition.

    It's almost like our board are Coca Cola and they're Pepsi and we have some * mad agreement to stay close to one another.

    Our board had the opportunity to bury these * and be so far out of sight that they would never ever properly come back.

    We're as bad as I can remember Celtic and I was there during the John Barnes era.

    Historically isn’t taking the game in isolation mate. I can remember the 90’s as well.

    I have to disagree.

    Tierney is a * of a LB. But he plays a more traditional game whereas we're used to playing a more pressing LB that much more than cross the ball.

    Taylor used to feed directly to Maeda or Kyogo. Tierney puts crosses in that are ( mostly) inch perfect, usually right to the forwards feet.

    We just haven't adapted yet to life without Greg Taylor. It will come, but it'll take time.

    Sorry mate but Tierney is done. He’s been training all of preseason yet looks like he’s towing a caravan after 20 mins.

    The Almaty games and the Rangers game aside, he has done very well since coming back in.
    He still has a lot of class and he will be fine. Both Tierney and Maeda (or whoever will now play left wing) will find a way of working. Taylor liked to invert and make underlapping runs, where as Tierney likes to hold his width and make overlaps and cross the ball.
    That wasn’t an easy game for either full back and fans will do well to remember our game back in March when both full backs also struggled then also.

    One of the few positives I can think of from the past few days is how sevco played against us on Sunday especially when you consider they were playing at home and we were clearly there for the taking after the long trip and the extra time and pk's in midweek. No doubt during pre-season Martin would have been working on getting sevco to play his way building from the back etc and thats how they have played until Sunday when despite playing at home and facing us when you have to know we are knackered and low on confidence they reverted to going direct and playing for set pieces and being physical. So basically Martin told his own players that at the first sight of Celtic he can't trust his players to do what it is he has been trying to get them to do in terms of how he wants them to play when the pressure is on.
