Bernardo must start. Whenever he plays in the UCL he is head and shoulders above the rest of the midfield. Time for Engles to take some time on the bench and earn his way back to starting.
Another positive that nobody seems to have mentioned is - with all the focus on the impact of Bernardo & Valle - is that both Forrest and Idah also did really well when they came on.
we need to leave it all on the park in Zagreb to try to get 3 points because it'll be the last CL game this year and we don't know what the squad will look like in January, and don't want to put too much pressure on the Young Boys game. At least if we get a point in Zagreb it will ease some of it. Zagreb's stadium is earthquake damaged so the outer stand is always empty. Crowd is also a long way away from the pitch.
We are in an era of unparalleled success - this is never going to last forever. Some other team will eventually catch up or the league will fail Therefore - instead of nitpicking every game and every player just enjoy it while you can Feel sorry for people that cannot ALWAYS find joy watching this team, the type of fans that will split first season we dont win the league
I had a look at the fixtures of the teams outside of the top 24 at the minute and I can't see how 5 of them get enough points to go ahead of us as we sit right now. I fully expect us to pick up a few more points but even if we don't I think we'll make the top 24.
Was definitely shocked at some comments i read on social media saying Brugges were going to be easy!! What are these folk on ? This is CL ..no easy games even Young Boys will take us to be on our game . Also have to say i rate Scales and am surprised hes been no playing .
People shouting at players constantly does my head in. We can all have a moan at times but those fans who moan the full game really don't help one bit.
Not too many changes tomorrow please . 2 definite, Valle & Barnardo . Others possibly Idah, McCowan , Scales but not the 6/7 as we’ve seen disrupts the team. Get the game won early then make changes before Aberdeen on Wednesday. 3 points are a must to keep pressure on …
The atmosphere fluctuates with the performance on the pitch & reputation of the opposition. Always has and always will. There’s no great mystery to it or deep & meaningful explanation required.
My tickets are right beside the green brigade so maybe it's not a great place to judge the atmosphere from but I didn't think it was too bad. Certainly not the best it's ever been but from it went 1-1 our corner of the stadium was fairly bouncing.
As someone who sits within the NC you’d be shocked at how many folk in there have no interest in making an effort to improve the atmosphere. You’ve probably got about 20-25% of the entire NC trying to get the atmosphere going
I have a ticket for tomorrow. First time this season, via my local supporters club. Hopefully a new e-ticket system comes in soon so that I can apply for tickets when I can make it. I hate seeing empty seats when I could have one occasionally if there was just a way to officially claim one when I am fit enough to attend. Ideally, a Club 67 seat as that gives more comfort ahead of start time for my back pain issues.
I agree. But it says a lot that what is a 'flat' atmosphere to us, is still great to most clubs in Europe. After Brugge made it 0-2, they started singing in English "you only sing when you're winning". Then they went silent when VAR ruled it off which we gave them it stinking for. 😭😆😆
@Johnniebhoy83 yer right pal Taylor liability in Europe and we need a improvement to go further in Europe valle will go back so we are back to same old can't believe we took a chance last season with only Taylor left back that was a massive gamble
Hi Hamish, could the non subscribers maybe Currant Buns looking in to learn how a good podcast is done😀 Ps The new term used by Brendan has been adopted by a few Celtic Podcasts, ‘ The Learnings’
It’s interesting to see folk noticing the atmosphere being shite in these games… for example the Aberdeen game at home was arguably the biggest game of the season that far & yet the NC was lacklustre let alone the rest of the stadium… the facts are the atmosphere is a myth and Celtic park is very overrated atmosphere wise which is a shame considering the effort the lads within the NC & GB put in.
Taylor has played & been selected to play a key role in this Celtic team by 3 different managers now, Ange has said will at Celtic,supporters no about 10% of what’s happening at a club,on the og the other night, if Scales or one of the other whipping Bhoy has scored it, the keyboard worrier’s would have 💥HH
Celtic are in a good position in the CL. Stop denigrating players. Let's move on to the breed n butter. It's a squad game. Valle and Bernardo impacted the game the other nite.
Hamish talks about how great Celtic are after a CL victory, then tells everyone how not to get too excited about oor CL campaign after a defeat 😂 Even as i type, he's peasent expalining how YNWAL is not a good idea 😂😂
Real working class fans who bring atmosphere have been priced out most the time I go to champions league or europa league games I’m sitting next to mutual supporters they are only there as it’s now a bucket list type thing to see how loud parkhead is it’s been heavily diluted and imo the disco lights are cringe along with the DJ playing the same goal sounds for about 5 seasons in a row
Taylor is mince. And….. he’s asking for a mega contract deal. Chase him. He does nothing. He backs off and backs off attackers and passes the ball back the way constantly. We need a solid permanent left back. Valle would be that I think….. but he will go back to Barcelona. Engles will come good. He’s only just turned 20.
Hail.hail hamish i have never liked taylor the guy simply is rotten he goes forward trys to stay up there and when he gets back hes weak and just no good enough valle had to start for the rest of this season and taylor needs to do us a fav and just leave he reminds me of 100 pen tav across the city great going forward pish at his job as a defender
😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s clearly asked to move into midfield going forward but no one seems to move across to cover. He clearly screams at trusty and scales to move across.. so much for supporting the team!!! You lot are comedy gold.

I agree with your comments with Hatate & Engels. I really hope Valle stays with Celtic for a bit longer, great player!
I had a look at the fixtures of the teams outside of the top 24 at the minute and I can't see how 5 of them get enough points to go ahead of us as we sit right now. I fully expect us to pick up a few more points but even if we don't I think we'll make the top 24.
8 points is not enough. Need 10 points.
@Justashambles how's that?
HH Hamish great analysis as usual. Interesting to hear the Belgian take on the match.
Was definitely shocked at some comments i read on social media saying Brugges were going to be easy!! What are these folk on ? This is CL ..no easy games even Young Boys will take us to be on our game . Also have to say i rate Scales and am surprised hes been no playing .
Joe Hart himself said. The atmosphere has to be earned. You cant expect people to be as vocal if your playing poorly.
Agree 💯👍

I agree that YNWA is played too often. It has more impact if rolled out for big matches only.
Great shoe as usual Hamish.
Our fans look forward to it. Day visitors from around the world want it. Plus, it puts pressure on the opposition.
I can’t recall it payed so often in our centenary season for example?

Jonniebhoy score was 1-1 when brugge scored the offside goal
@Steven-oj6kf My bad. Funny AF scene aw the same, a huge away end in silence. 😄
@Johnniebhoy83 yer right pal Taylor liability in Europe and we need a improvement to go further in Europe valle will go back so we are back to same old can't believe we took a chance last season with only Taylor left back that was a massive gamble
Except from the GB we actually do only sing when we are winning though it’s like a library until we score
True. Another standing bit in the Celtic end is a great idea @@b3njys235
Reo didn't have a great game, but certainly didn't hide, he always looks for the ball,
The midfield should be McGowan, McGregor, And Bernardo think this will be a very strong midfield
That’s my favourite 3
Thanks Hamish. ☘☘☘
Surely Valle can not play for Barcelona in the CL now, so a recall doesn't make sense.
Hi Hamish, could the non subscribers maybe Currant Buns looking in to learn how a good podcast is done😀

Podcasts, ‘ The Learnings’
Love u 2 Hamish lol I wanted 2 ask something about the podcast. I have a deezrr account but ut doesnt seem 2 b on there. Could b possible please HH

Well Said!!
I think wee Jamie Forrest will get a start and Maeda gets a rest.

Even as i type, he's peasent expalining how YNWAL is not a good idea 😂😂
ur defo gonna be outed one day
@JonesyJones-s3b You talking tae me?
Hail Hail
Can’t see 5 changes Hamish but if you are correct then you have outed yourself as the dressing room mole 🤣
Scales does not come forward like strusty with pace
🍀🍀🍀💪

We need a solid permanent left back.
Valle would be that I think….. but he will go back to Barcelona.
Engles will come good. He’s only just turned 20.
Nonsense
Hail.hail hamish i have never liked taylor the guy simply is rotten he goes forward trys to stay up there and when he gets back hes weak and just no good enough valle had to start for the rest of this season and taylor needs to do us a fav and just leave he reminds me of 100 pen tav across the city great going forward pish at his job as a defender
Jamie he is our weak link in champions league all scouts spot it when watching the hoops I would let him walk no big lose valle all day
😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s clearly asked to move into midfield going forward but no one seems to move across to cover. He clearly screams at trusty and scales to move across.. so much for supporting the team!!! You lot are comedy gold.
Taylor hides and blames every player for his lack of tackling.
Taylor does not hide !! The man hiding on Wednesday was Engles!! It was clear as day at the Match
@ Go an watch the game again. Taylor never tackles he keeps backing off, he couldn’t tackle a fish supper.
