SPFL Celtic V The Huns Thursday January 2nd kick off 3PM Sky Sports football

“mentality” is Rodgers’ favourite buzz word. Today it was non existent. Shitebags and cowards to a man today.

 

Our worst domestic performance in Rodgers’ second tenure and our worst performance against them in a few years in my opinion. Players just didn’t turn up on the day. Hatate and Bernardo pushed far too high centrally and Scales being left on the ball didn’t go in our favour. Kühn was nullified and Maeda didn’t offer much. Kyogo and Idah were both starved of any service.

 

Completely agree. It's not about losing to them, it's the manner of the loss and a continuation of our poor form since the int' break.

We're losing against Young Boys and Villa if we don't make massive tactical and squad changes. We were dreadful against Brugge and Zagreb, people just like dressing those types of performances up. Dreadful in the cup final. Atrocious today.

We can't play when teams press us. It's * stuff.

 

Boyata was terrible until his last season. And I mean terrible. Still, this game shows Scales shouldn't be the first pick at CB.

 

This is it.

It’s far from an isolated incident as well.

So one dimensional and disjointed.

 

I'd have they c*nts drug tested. They looked as though they were on the gear whereas we looked if we had been on the spliffs. Seriously though, isnt the thought of beating the huns in their own midden not enough to motivate our players as, if not, then they need to have their arses kicked

 

No one saw this coming, mate. I think you can give those guys a break. I personally never expected an easy game and posted several times that I expected a tight game that could go either way (like 2 of the last 3 derbies); but I never for a moment expected this.

 

Didn't see the game due to work, but I'm glad. Imagine being beat 3-0 off that shower of *. Serious questions needing asked.

 

We went into this game 14 points clear and there were many saying the game was meaningless, it just tells you how bad we were today that the majority of supporters are calling for 3-4 first team starters in January.

I am genuinely furious at that today, there is no defending it whatsoever. We were complacent in the Cup Final. Today we were pathetic, embarrassing and heartless.

Today should be the end of a few players. We have went stale in the last few months and the style of play has become predictable - the Huns pray on our mistakes and we make the same ones game after game. Passing around the back, full backs in midfield, we get pressed, lose the ball and the other team have acres of space to attack.

We are 11 points clear because because Rangers are pish at beating teams who play a low block NOT because we are a good team. You can’t be a good team when you have Scales Taylor and Hatate consistently surrendering possession in our own half.

Scales
Taylor
Hatate

All need dropped as of next game and McGregor phased out going into next season. His legs have gone and he’s a liability, gives zero protection to our defence.

As for our attack, they are just a victim of how poor our build up play is. Everything goes through the middle of the park, wingers and striker get zero service from them. With that said, Kyogo needs dropped and Idah probably not good enough to lead the line week in, week out. I rate him but we need a new number 9 ASAP.

 

It was like back to the * 90s again watching that, as someone says aw this 4 nil 5 nil pish, would have been fairly happy with a draw before the game,

 

I’m wondering if this is simply complacency across the board.
Coasting in the league, beating them always and recently in the cup albeit marginally, even the huns fans thought this would be a battering. They’re a mess and we’ve been cruising whilst playing some yo-yo football at times.

Maybe the players think they can just show up and even if we start *, we’ll still end up not losing at worst.

I say this because I know we can play outstanding football, we have and will again, yet today we looked blasé.

This doesn’t mean I’m not concerned—I am but not by any sort of chat around Rangers progression, more around how performances like this can cause regression.
That two games against them we’ve not commanded the game. Thats the fear factor we’ve had being slowly chipped away.

It’s 11 points ahead and I don’t think it will be reversed by any stretch but it’s still a huge concern to be putting in such an awful showing.

 

You’ll struggle to get a better opportunity to win a Champions League game than against Zagreb.

We didn’t have a shot that I can remember.

 

There wasn’t one player who can hold their head up today. Tell you what though, a Celtic captain hiding on the park is a * disgrace. Jogging around hiding behind Bajrami when we had the ball, and was nowhere near him when they had it. Best our midfield has looked for ages was last week when McGregor was out. He was * shocking today. Never making an angle for the centre halfs. Utter pish.

 

Wonder if the Huns will be punished for the objects being thrown or will it just be swept under the carpet again

 

3-0 flatters us, mate. Do yourself a favour and don't watch it.

 

Genuinely appalled by that performance by us. Fair play the Huns had their cup final today and played out their skin but I expected that. We were so below par it's disgraceful.
Handed them 3pts on a plate. Not acceptable.

 

I'd rather lose that than the cup. A dead rubber with nae fans. Who cares. Does show we need slight adjustments to out tactics though. Making it to easy with zero attacking intent. Couple wingers and another creative midfielder. Get mcreggor further up or on the bench. All in, * display. Long as we play good in the champions league in a few weeks that'll do me.

 

Deserved win mate? Were lucky they didn’t match our famous 7-1 it was a shambolic performance.

 

Am assuming the mods can make out the Hun imposters on here in the last few pages

 

We’ve no got idiots wanting new managers surely
