    Spot on mate. The crowd need to remember that they are there to SUPPORT the team - Support is done through positivity, not moaning & groaning! Let's get right behind the team this season and applaud every single effort.

    Oh what a difference a few weeks make. A few weeks back we weren't looking like a team at all, now we are looking like world beaters. If we can maintain this form we are in for something special. It's great to be a Celtic supporter right now :) So much to look forward to.

    It's been really positive so far and hopefully we can maintain our standard of play. Also about Utracht on Thursday, don't expect a win. The team would quite happily take a 1-0 defeat and go through. Anything other than going out is a success, even if we lose 9-8 (although I would be worried at the defence).

    But in saying that, I still hope we can win in Utrecht 1-0 or something as I guess knowing Lenny, he doesn't like losing, even if it is only 1 leg

    Could have fooled me. We struggle every single time in Inverness, including the team that took us to Seville. St Mirren pumped us last season 4 nil and any team that qualifies for Europe from the Dutch league is decent at the very least, especially with a 7 million rated striker that is scoring for fun.

    The argument we've played diddy teams is a non-starter, they won't be the best teams we will play this season but they certainly weren't easy games and we dominated all 3 of them winning easily and showing a brand of football that hasn't been seen from a Celtic side in years.

    Was at the game on Sunday and loved every second of it. The feeling of dread I used to feel every time the ball was played into our half is now gone. I have confidence in the midfield to retain possession and think we are going to score barrel loads of goals this season.

    I won't get too carried away as we haven't really been tested yet. The next three games will really show what the team are made of; an away Europa tie, a tricky SPL away game against Motherwell and a difficult SPL home game against Hunlites. If we can progress in Europe and secure six points in those two SPL games I think that will be a great indicator that this team will bring the Title back home.

    the football against st mirren was amazing, but the key to winning this league and doing well in europa, as some have said, is CONSISTENCY! we need to keep up the hard work and we will walk this league.

    At the end of the day, you can only look at the positives

    The style of play, the defensive shut outs, the gelling of the team, lennys obvious management style and most importantly......... the belief and desire we now all feel in a team that looks to be a fearsome sight for all this season.

    Yes it could all fall to earth, but should it? NO is the simple answer, we will lose this season no doubt, but I have not been this impressed with a Celtic team in a very long time. The signings have been, on the most part, very very impressive and added to the squad immensly!

    I watched the Hibees game and apart from Wiess the Rankers are the same old toss they've always been!! Simples - get him out of the game and play the celtic way and the treble is on the way.

    I believe and will always.

    Hail Hail to all.

    Spot on mate. It's as much about the fans reactions to things as it is the players. Even if someone has a bad game, we need to stop the idiots moaning, coming on here demanding we sell them etc.

    Just before the last few games Brown, Ki, Fortune and Samaras were all targets of the 'get them tae *' crew. All four of them have put in decent displays for 3 matches now and the same folk are saying we are like Brazil or the 70's Dutch team. Football moves quickly and I am worried about our very fickle fans.
