Celtic vs Inverness, Saturday 15/8/15 - 3pm kick off

"It's all about belief when you come here - you cannot be a shrinking violet," he continued. "I've been in dressing rooms - it's all right running about and getting stuck in and flying into tackles.

"Real top players take the ball, pass it, move it, get it back, don't take an extra touch, everything you see with Celtic. We're just a little bit off it.

 

Why are there no more match highlights of Celtic's games on the SPFL Youtube channel?

 

Think it's after 6pm today or something like that.

 

Some clubs have stopped the SPFL channel from showing their games highlights. Wanting a subscription for it. Absolute joke.

 

Nah, Scott Brown came off and Boyata * up.

It's frightening the difference Broony makes.

 

No once Scott Brown came off not long after we lost the midfield just like at Killie for most of the game.
Inverness look a much better team with Christie on and he was constantly picking up the ball and driving them forward, then Boyata gifted them 2 goals.

 

Izzy was fantastic against Qarabag away. Mulgrew is better at crossing and passing but his severe lack of pace would create a big problem for us, they will have pacey winger and just run past Mulgrew all game. Yesterday Mulgrew was constantly 5 yards behind his man when he came on.

 

Brown was the driving force yesterday and the player nearest to him we let go to
Hibs on loan when the changes were made Mulgrew went into midfield an was hopeless he is too slow and the team lost focus.

 

Yeah he was very good. I don't know, I trust Mulgrew more than Izzy.

 

It's 50/50 really, you can have Izzy's pace and attacking threat or Mulgrews defensive ability, crossing/passing and also height.
Will be interesting to see who get's the nod but I imagine it will be Izzy since he's being playing regularly now.

 

It's pretty shocking the difference Brown makes, and I don't mean that as a compliment to Brown. As good as he is, our midfield has a tendency to crumble when he isn't there. It's not good enough for a team like Celtic. We need someone else to come in and get stuck in.

 

+1
Mulgrew's height in defence and delivery will be crucial for this vital match.
Izzy should sit on the bench as back up.
I agree with DooDaRonny on this one.

 

Not really had the chance to come on here since Saturday, but thoroughly enjoyed the game. I thought for 70 minutes we were absolutely excellent and played some great stuff going forward. The difference Brown makes to our team is incredible - it's a huge worry when he isn't there. I thought Armstrong also had his best game since we signed him (maybe except from Inter). He was composed, creative and confident and used the ball very well. Also took both his goals extremely well. I thought it was a strange decision on Deila's part to put McGregor on instead of Forrest. I'd have been looking for a bit of continuity after Forrest's positive performance against Killie. Boyata gives me nightmares, but I really hope it's a lack of match time over the last few years and his concentration and positioning will improve as he settles.

All in all, a great performance and a good three points. Definitely filled me with confidence ahead of Wednesday night; but improved concentration and a clean sheet are a necessity.

 

Aye, up until Broony went off I think we played some of the best football that we have in a very long time.
