There was a caller on super scoreboard yesterday explaining how Rangers have solved a way to play against us, saying that Rangers use a half press and we cannot play through it, Hugh keevins etc tried to downplay it and say the system can’t always work every game, my personal opinion would be the next game against them things need to be mixed, give Rangers some food for thought, notice that one ball over the top and Kyogo scored but was offside, not once did we try something different like that on Thursday we kept trying to play the same constantly and it didn’t work
You, every Celtic fan and his Granny world wide saw what the issues were in that game after ten minutes. Taylor , Scales and Hatate should have been hooked at half time. Our midfield were being overrun and lost every one on one tackle. However the only person who could have adjusted things and beefed up our midfield was Rodgers. He saw the car wreck happening in real time but failed to react appropriately.
They Have NOT Solved a Way. THAT Press is EASY to Break Through, but We Didn’t as 5 Yard Passes Were Three Yards Misplaced.

Hamish. You sound surprised that Hatate is giving the ball away... With the exception of his first game when he scored twice when has he ever played well against Rangers. He was awful in May's Scottish Cup Final. A man down in these games.
Right mate . I honestly cannot remember seeing any pro level player give the ball away as much as. Hatate . It’s game after game he’s wasting possession constantly. A good 45 mins against st Johnstone or Ross county every 4 or 5 weeks won’t do. Quite simply he’s a total liability at present and has been for a long time it can’t continue..
Agreed. Hatate just isn't as good as we think he is. He can just do some world class things once in a blue moon. Yet all players can have their moments. I genuinely believed that Hatate has been over hyped since his arrival. How people compared him to MOR is beyond me.
@ somebody gave an interesting stat yesterday. He’s got two assists in 29 games . From an offensive midfielder that is unbelievable. Kind of blows out the water the argument that he is just a bit up and down. Started off brilliantly but sadly he is now a complete liability and has been for some time . We desperately need a 10.

While this was a shambles of a game and there is no room for complacency, people need to calm down. A week ago we were celebrating one of the best years in the club’s entire history with this team. We’ve lost one game against Rangers in how long? It’s been staggering, the level of success. We’re eleven clear. And if you look at the circumstances… their manager fighting for his job.

It all came together and provided us with what we can use as a massive wake up call. Hopefully the bhoys will bounce back stronger as they so often do 🍀
Well said, my thoughts exactly. They had a morale victory to fight for and we have a treble to fight for. LEVELS! all that aside it was poor to see us play so bad on the day and expected more fight. 🍀
The signs are there Brendan hasn't learned. In e cup game Rangers knew to mark CM because everything goes through him. The last 2 games and CM wasn't playing, Engels gets MOTM. On the Derby he's on the bench and CM is playing WTF
Of all the players on Thursday who played badly Hatate was the worst closely followed by scales. I’m a GT fan but I’m totally fed up with him now. Hope he finds a new club soon
Hatate was dreadful and to be honest he's been dreadful for weeks , but come on scales is brutal absolutely brutal , the cup final we got away with the penalty 100% , who was the player that could and should have given them a penalty in extra time , scales ... he is murder

The fact our midfield and play from defence was woeful allowed them to dominate .Only game ive questioned BR ....why Engels and Trusty were on bench is beyond me .

Ridvan, a midget left back playing at right back, had meada in his pocket the whole match. So much so that he got forward and had more shots individually than the whole of the Celtic team combined.
Done the same as stevey left the pub before 3am had the game on in the background in the house knew we had nothing to offer but still 11 points clear and Rodgers just want to keep Clemont in a job
Stevie’s reaction to Hatate and Scales coming out for the 2nd half is exactly how I felt. Once I saw that I knew the game was already over with no chance of recovery, I actually turned the tele off and didn’t even watch the 2nd half and I was proven right to do so
If we get rid of Bernabei (for reportedly £5.5 million) and use the money to fund the signing of KT, then it could be one of our best pieces of business in years. Upgrade the LB position AND have money left over from it??? That is PEAK "Lawell-ball" LOL! (Of course all of this hinges on KT being over his injury troubles)
Far too many players spend their time pointing away from them indicating they don't want the ball. CalMac Hatate and Taylor do it all the time. If you are pointing you are not ready to receive a pass. Ban the pointing and the back passing. Midfielders must be moving and able to receive passes all the time.
I think a big problem in midfield is we haven’t replaced Matt O’Reilly and it’s starting to show with the lack of creativity in midfield. Callum McGregor has to do better on field as a captain and give the players direction. However, on Thursday he was running about like a headless chicken trying to correct everyone else’s mistakes- Adam is a concern for me he has to be better and receiving the ball if our strikers aren’t scoring goal they have to do more to affect the game. I think the players got spooked a couple of days ago and the team is missing a Scott Brown ego.
We weren't exhilarating away ..we were very average at Easter Road...dreadful at Dingwall...I'd say we played far better football at Tannadice than either of these games...
Imho Cal ran his bollocks off and had zero support around him. Watching him scurrying around trying to compensate for his lazy toothless midfielders was both sad and embarrassing. HH🍀
@@terrymurphy2813 agree 100%. at one point I thought he was trying to drive the team on and get us up the park but no one was showing for the ball and got zero help from hatate and bernardo who should be fighting for their place in the team. I would drop both of them for Sunday and play engels and mccowan
Slack passing playing out of from the back is our biggest threat as we lose the ball far too often with ridiculous short passes even getting intervened weekly
KT's transfer fee to Arsenal well covers any potential losses on this one. Can't wait to have him back. Even with the risks he's our next club captain for sure
Stevie is absolutely bang on, agree 100%, Hamish talking shite and deluded - contradicts himself " off day" , "wake up call" then lists a string of shite performances. The manager's arrogance is a massive concern.
Do you think in the next derby we can play the same way but with a faster tempo/better personnel after January signings or do you think we have to do something different game plan wise?
I think you're missing how good sevco were. They were a team united by adversity with their backs against the wall. Injuries forced Clement into selecting a better formation. Our bhoys looked disjointed and intimidated by the cauldron of hate. Mentality of the respective players won the day.
Every Celtic player was terrible against them, including CM, lost count of the amount of times he got cough on the ball. The whole team will be hurting from this and I'm sure it's the kick up the backside that will motivate them to prove that they ARE, the best team in Scotland. One defeat doesn't make them a bad team,, expecting a reaction on Sunday 🍀
Scales can't play in games like this again. Nearly sold the jerseys with that penalty in the cup final, totally fucked us yesterday. Enough with the "he's a good lad" stuff, he's shite.
the way to combat marking Cal in the no.6 role...is for Cal not to play the no.6 role...casual switch with Bernardo, Cal ghosting into the more advanced role would have left them wondering where he was
Calmac aint finished yet but him the 6 for me is finished to easy for teams to stop our play. Callum hasnt got the legs to recover anymore either and weve seen that before
I’m surprised and disappointed that we don’t already have a couple of signing through the door. We had 3 Japanese guys announce in January 1st during Ange’s first year and AJ played against Rangers in January of his second year. When it worked so well why would we not continue with that sort of prep after he was gone.
We need to accept it was a bad day and move on. Every January we seem to have clear inconsistencies that we feel need to be addressed. We all wanted so much to play well and batter this lot but let's be realistic these things don't always go the way we want or expect. Rangers did their work they were far hungrier than we were and also playing in an environment with no support can have a huge impact on our players. Need to use this as a huge learning experience move on beat St Mirren this Sunday and get back on track. HH 🍀🍀🍀🍀
*Bang on, Stevie-Bhoy & Hamish * >> *Two guys who love Celtic w/ a passion and speak for myself and for so many other supporters*... *Gutless, scared, bottled-it completely. Scales, Taylor & Hatate should have been hooked @ half-time or even before* - *they either contributed nothing, i.e., Hatate, **-or-** they were like Scales & Taylor who were simply atrocious and were a bomb-scare every time they had the ball.*
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Congrats Hamish and Stevie, spot on comments. Losing 6 goals in 2 games! Yet BR doesn't change anything, 4-3-3 doesn't work. We lost a massive opportunity to really make a statement. Probably the worst performance that i have seen against the huns! Worryingly BR doesn't see the need to change at half time. I agree Calmac is not and never was a defensive midfielder!
11 points is still a big lead to have guys but that was awful to watch. Maybe Rodgers should have started with a 4-2-3-1 formation. That would have given McGregor more help in midfield.
Scales should never be in a celtic jersey again , dont get me wrong in my opinion only CCV kinda got pass marks at a push , take the cup final also where we got away with a penalty, who was the culprit yip scales , he is brutal
Sorry to repeat myself ,I said it yesterday .Celtic made some good videos over the Christmas New year period .the club now needs to make a video to simply apologise to the Fans for that dreadful performance on Thursday . The Fans deserve that apology at the very least .
The reaction by some of our fans is ridiculous. Yes it hurts, yes the performance was not good enough and you never want to lose to them. However everyone of us would have bit your hand off for the league cup, an 11 point lead in the league and possibly one home win away for CL knock out stages, people need to calm down. Sign Tierney, hopefully manage his injuries, bring Trusty in and give him a run and sign another winger and we should hopefully be fine.
It was the manner in how we lost that was the problem!!!. Our 3 Japanese players have been shocking for weeks, McGregor is looking tired and slow and Taylor and Scales should never play for us again!!!. As for Idah, he just doesn't cut it and we paid way over thd odds for him!!!. Thank God Tierney's coming back 🙏!!!.
@TheDiana1 Yeah and that happens, 50,000 of them, no fans for us it can happen. They will give us a bloody nose now and again. Do you remember us beating them 3 nil at Hampden when we lost the league by a massive margin? Saying players should never play for us again is also ridiculous, we need reinforcements on the wing for service to Kyogo and Idah and they will score goals.
Bit harsh boys, we're all hurt but don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Something wrong with how complacent we are, not starting well in less than half the games is not good enough. Pressure on management last year drove them to success, so hopefully more of the same.
You can say it was an off day Hamish & to a certain extent you’re right, but what’s glaringly obvious is that Brendan failed to learn his lesson from the Cup final. Rangers were unlucky not to win it, but they took their chances this time. They had something like 27 shots on goal with 9 on target. That’s what I’d expect if they were playing Ross County. Everyone concerned needs to raise their game dramatically going forward.🍀
Shocking by Taylor. Scales getting the ball never had alot of options to play the ball. No movement by others. He was targetted. Its a team game. Our mid to front looked lost. They pressed us when Celtic played the ball around at the back. Im angry about the way we lost.
Well said guys, alotta papering over in podcasts and glad to hear yous calling it out, Hatate, Taylor obviously are not interested and should be benched at LEAST!! A disgraceful performance and can only be viewed as a one off. Get Taylor out the door, watching him having a laugh with Hun players at final whistle was infuriating. HH🍀
We need a bigger more rugged midfielder who can win those one on ones in the middle of the park. And IF only we could manage to entice Jota back to help steer the ship home in may.
Playing McGregor in the 6 has to stop, has always been awful in that position against any real team. Put any player in there and move him up if you are in the he must play camp (god knows why that is a thing but it is)
I've always said this, it's a position not suited to an ageing CalMac, we need younger, stronger, faster to control the anchor position. I don't believe that's the reason we lost, the whole team never showed up, but it should still be looked at. Perhaps Engels is destined to play that 6 position.
Maybe the arrogance such as ‘they are pish’ is what has transcended on to the team and why they got pumped. Not just beat, absolutely skelped. Let’s be honest, rangers are not Pish. They proved that on Thursday. They have had really bad results yes, but on Thursday they played really well. They played in a way to stop Celtic, it was not the low block that this video would have people believe. They got forward at will and it felt like they could score each time, while not allowing a sniff
@@Nicko42PA In the short term, yes. Too keep being a sensitive emotional wreck while having already also pumped them 3-0, beat them for a trophy and sitting 11pts clear is absolutely embarrassing.
@@b.s.bobbyshaw i don't get why fans are having a breakdown FS they've beat us once in what 2 or 3 years. You can't win every game, good that Philip is in his job a bit longer 😂
@@stephenkelly2779 Spot on. Yes, be disappointed and even frustrated in the manner we bottled that game. However, to be absolutely deflated and raging at the manager, crucifying particular players etc despite having had an ultimately completely successful season up to the halfway stage is honestly confusing. The position we are currently in was unthinkable only a little over two decades ago. What’s even more confusing is their side celebrating a 3-0 win, despite also being spanked 3-0 to remain 11pts behind and losing out on the first trophy already 🤣🤔
Big demands Stevie for a man who had done nothing but deliver for the team! Whether you like it or not, you've got to give rangers a bit of credit for the game on Thursday. Rangers got their tactics right. I have no doubt there will mora than likely be another treble. Brendan is the most elite manager we have ever had. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
The Rangers have shown that on their day they can pick up big wins but they are so inconsistent. Celtic have shown at times they can be dominated to the point of complete collapse. Thursday basically showcased the aforementioned. Celtic are still buying too many players who should be taking a first team spot but are turning more into squad players.
I just genuinely hope that the people who were shouting about Zagreb being such a great result are not still thinking that the Young boys game is still a walk in the park. Anyone who is/was thinking that is blind. Also replace Scales and give him the same lack of passing options.. let's see you make an excuse for trusty.
Exactly. Trusty was taken off because he couldn't pass the ball forward. Just changing either won't solve the problem. Rodgers needs to change shape and positioning. This is on him now.
@b.s.bobbyshaw mate did you do any research whatsoever in the absolute state they were in before that match? They fully expected to get battered by any half decent side.
@ Nah I did, and honestly I thought we’d win. Was disappointed, but then perspective reminded me that the majority of campaigns in the CL result in zero points away from home normally. Dinamo also up their game in the CL at home regardless, so in the long run it isn’t a bad point.
Been a big fan of Hatate in general but I think we have to sell him and bring in Lennon Miller. I wouldn't be against selling him in January to get McCowan a run of games this season.
Stevie and reidzo were spot on, on the gig pod episode. I’m finished with Hatate and have been long before Thursday! A myth of a footballer! And this ‘on his day’ stuff needs to stop! The guy is consistently pish, and the decent games he has are the anomaly! Check his assists stats this season and then get back to me if you disagree! A guy with ideas way above his station, who thought he’d be gone long ago! I would speak about scales but what’s the point? He’s a bang average footballer at best and always has been! Him and a few others could leave tomorrow and it would mean very little.
yep agree excellent episode pulled no punches -interesting they did not take a step back and can tell it was probs recorded after kick off - but they both were accurate in all aspects 🟩🟢🧩
Agree Reo was poor.. BUT… aside the offside goal, Reo’s half chance that forced a great save from Kelly was the only chance of the game which came from nothing and could have changed the game
McGregor put too much effort into riling the opposition up than playing football, Brown was the master because he could combine the both, McGregor cannot.
Gers fan here, the coin throwing was an absolute disgrace, hope they get charged and banned for life. But preventing rangers fans from your ground hurts the good support from sides. And let's be honest would only be a moral high ground until a few of your support did the same. Then it's back to a blame game. Unfortunately every club has morons hell bent on trouble. Also, I enjoyed our win, but it's too little too late to even put a dent on you becoming worthy champions. again.
Every club has idiots, your club has a serious issue with far more incidents than any other club by some way. If you are being honest you will surely agree.👍
the biggest issue on thursday especially with the forwards and midfielders is why they went into a shell , they were hiding with no fight, acting like cowards we know they are not really baffling how we played
I agree with Stevie with many of his points. Rightly frustrated and at times outraged. At least we didnt do this against Young Boys. Little repercussions.
It wasn't that long ago that Celtic were being praised for the squad, not just their team....and how they had one good player after the other being substituted on. Players are not machines, they will have some off days. Sitting where they are in the league table as well as the champions league table and having just won the cup, the amount of abuse Celtic have got in the past few days from 'fans' is so OTT. It's just as well we play in the Scottish league....they'd never be able to handle supporting an English club, even the top ones, where you're going to get beat and not win anything some seasons. While I agree there's nothing like the atmosphere created by Celtic fans in European nights, the 'faithful through and through' but doesn't really happen. And this must negativity only puts the players on a downward spiral.
Of course we’ll respond, a home game v St.Mirren, not a problem, let the Huns enjoy the 3 points they won, it was a ghastly performance from Celtic 😮 how Hatate came out after the 1st half is a mystery,surely the manager saw he was extremely poor🧐 The Huns seemed to want it more, they where 1st to every 50/50, they passed it quickly & got stuck in whilst some of our guys didn’t look up for it🤔 I imagine our Brendan will sort us out for tomorrow & get us back firing 😊🍀👌🏽
Cannot believe that yet again Taylor is the whipping boy for a mistake SCALES made. He's telling him to go back - he's right, they should have went back and if they didn'twe don't concede a goal because Scales CANNOT pass.
Too easy to take your foot off the gas when you are romping the league. Worry not. Celtic have levels to go. And will hit those levels in the second half of the season 🍀🏆🏆🏆
I can't believe you spent half the video going over Thursday's game again. I mean seriously, what is there to say that hasn't already been said about it? This is when Time stamps on your videos are a God send. No harm to Stevie but I cannot be arsed with another 18 minute segment dissecting that horror show. Time to get over it lads!
It’s also how he went about it. He’s had a complete meltdown wanting a full overhaul… of a team that also already beat them 3-0 when it was a closer race to help go 11pts clear in the first place and that managed to get past them for a trophy. It’s just emotional drivel, he would have been told to give his head a wobble in the 90s and early 2000s.
Completely forgotten we won the last two games before that 4-0. Perspective please. It has been a bad day, off the back of an incredible calander 2024. Maybe the lads just took their foot off it a bit given we were 14 points and 100 goals ahead of them. Understandable. It may help us knuckle down a bit for Young Boys and the rest of the SPFL season. KT will come back and Brendan will get them motoring again in no time.
@@blehoo1 Beating teams with a fraction of our budget 4 nil proves nothing. Its games agianst rangers or in eurpe that these players and manager should be judged on.
@@jackjones1249 If it's just about games vs rangers for us, then presumably it is also just about "games vs Celtic" for them? So with that in mind, how do you explain the 11pt gap when we've both got a win apiece in our two league meetings? Shouldn't we be level on points? I mean if that's all both sides are to be judged on then why is Clemente's job hanging by a thread?
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. Rangers are a poor team who will drop more points, not sure what point you are making as it makes it even worse if we have just been scudded by a poor rangers team who cant beat other spl dross.
100 per cent agree with you' proper cant and hasnt been able to handle long balls all season against shit teams. Proper played in dutch league, and he's used to the ball on the floor and the game being played in front of him. We needed to mix up the play a lot more' 1 pass and we could have been in far more times, and they would never have coped
Yes Hatate is overated Gets to much preference and needs to be benched an earn His spot (happy if he is sold ) keeps on saying Wants to play at a higher level He isn’t good enough or Consistant enough
I like Stevie and agree with a lot of what he’s saying. But slight overreaction, which can happen after that game. To say we need a change of system after that game is over the top and to say McGregor can’t play as a 6 is silly considering he’s done it so many times. I would not be against (a 6) as Stevie says, coming in for support in that area at all. Would welcome it.

Taylor looked like he was hailing a taxi in that screenshot.
If we get rid of Bernabei (for reportedly £5.5 million) and use the money to fund the signing of KT, then it could be one of our best pieces of business in years.
Upgrade the LB position AND have money left over from it??? That is PEAK "Lawell-ball" LOL!
(Of course all of this hinges on KT being over his injury troubles)
Far too many players spend their time pointing away from them indicating they don't want the ball. CalMac Hatate and Taylor do it all the time. If you are pointing you are not ready to receive a pass. Ban the pointing and the back passing. Midfielders must be moving and able to receive passes all the time.
If learn from it we improve so win.win but we must learn.😊
I am not blaming CalMac for this defeat but he isn't a CDM, he always get's attracted to the ball and doesn't cover defensively.
If we can see that how the hell does BR and JK not?
I agree 💯 percent
I think a big problem in midfield is we haven’t replaced Matt O’Reilly and it’s starting to show with the lack of creativity in midfield. Callum McGregor has to do better on field as a captain and give the players direction. However, on Thursday he was running about like a headless chicken trying to correct everyone else’s mistakes- Adam is a concern for me he has to be better and receiving the ball if our strikers aren’t scoring goal they have to do more to affect the game. I think the players got spooked a couple of days ago and the team is missing a Scott Brown ego.
We weren't exhilarating away ..we were very average at Easter Road...dreadful at Dingwall...I'd say we played far better football at Tannadice than either of these games...
Calmac is slowing down play making the team more predictable. He should be rested more often and given a more forward role.
Imho Cal ran his bollocks off and had zero support around him. Watching him scurrying around trying to compensate for his lazy toothless midfielders was both sad and embarrassing. HH🍀
Agree cal should play as an 8, I would put engles as the 6 until we sign a proper 6
@@terrymurphy2813 agree 100%. at one point I thought he was trying to drive the team on and get us up the park but no one was showing for the ball and got zero help from hatate and bernardo who should be fighting for their place in the team. I would drop both of them for Sunday and play engels and mccowan
I agree
I’d like a wee look at Callum, Bernardo and Engels
Slack passing playing out of from the back is our biggest threat as we lose the ball far too often with ridiculous short passes even getting intervened weekly
KT's transfer fee to Arsenal well covers any potential losses on this one. Can't wait to have him back. Even with the risks he's our next club captain for sure
What about Alistair Johnston, he's definitely captain material
@Your-girl_Bonnie5 I agree. CCV also. KT would be my captain when Calmac steps away.
Stevie is absolutely bang on, agree 100%, Hamish talking shite and deluded - contradicts himself " off day" , "wake up call" then lists a string of shite performances. The manager's arrogance is a massive concern.
Do you think in the next derby we can play the same way but with a faster tempo/better personnel after January signings or do you think we have to do something different game plan wise?
Stevey bang on , rogers needs a new way t play them next time, can’t b the same tactics next time v them
Teirneys one of us love you boy
I think you're missing how good sevco were. They were a team united by adversity with their backs against the wall. Injuries forced Clement into selecting a better formation. Our bhoys looked disjointed and intimidated by the cauldron of hate. Mentality of the respective players won the day.
Had it with Hatate
Every Celtic player was terrible against them, including CM, lost count of the amount of times he got cough on the ball. The whole team will be hurting from this and I'm sure it's the kick up the backside that will motivate them to prove that they ARE, the best team in Scotland. One defeat doesn't make them a bad team,, expecting a reaction on Sunday 🍀
Scales can't play in games like this again. Nearly sold the jerseys with that penalty in the cup final, totally fucked us yesterday. Enough with the "he's a good lad" stuff, he's shite.
the way to combat marking Cal in the no.6 role...is for Cal not to play the no.6 role...casual switch with Bernardo, Cal ghosting into the more advanced role would have left them wondering where he was
Let's call it a seasonal gift and move on
Hatate needs punted.
Calmac aint finished yet but him the 6 for me is finished to easy for teams to stop our play. Callum hasnt got the legs to recover anymore either and weve seen that before
I’m surprised and disappointed that we don’t already have a couple of signing through the door. We had 3 Japanese guys announce in January 1st during Ange’s first year and AJ played against Rangers in January of his second year. When it worked so well why would we not continue with that sort of prep after he was gone.
Pleased to see stevie on today - not seen much anger / frustration on other pods . We should be angry - it wasn’t acceptable.
It’s how the defeat was made by BR not taking scales off and Taylor
We need to accept it was a bad day and move on. Every January we seem to have clear inconsistencies that we feel need to be addressed. We all wanted so much to play well and batter this lot but let's be realistic these things don't always go the way we want or expect. Rangers did their work they were far hungrier than we were and also playing in an environment with no support can have a huge impact on our players. Need to use this as a huge learning experience move on beat St Mirren this Sunday and get back on track. HH 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Yes as good as Brendan has been
He had a shocker
Wrong team
And waited far to long
To change and didnt restructure after half time
If the Kyogo goal goes in mate it's a different game
in which universe?
If rangers got the penalty in cup final would be a different game?
*Bang on, Stevie-Bhoy & Hamish * >> *Two guys who love Celtic w/ a passion and speak for myself and for so many other supporters*... *Gutless, scared, bottled-it completely. Scales, Taylor & Hatate should have been hooked @ half-time or even before* - *they either contributed nothing, i.e., Hatate, **-or-** they were like Scales & Taylor who were simply atrocious and were a bomb-scare every time they had the ball.*
Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Congrats Hamish and Stevie, spot on comments. Losing 6 goals in 2 games! Yet BR doesn't change anything, 4-3-3 doesn't work. We lost a massive opportunity to really make a statement. Probably the worst performance that i have seen against the huns! Worryingly BR doesn't see the need to change at half time. I agree Calmac is not and never was a defensive midfielder!
11 points is still a big lead to have guys but that was awful to watch. Maybe Rodgers should have started with a 4-2-3-1 formation. That would have given McGregor more help in midfield.
Scales should never be in a celtic jersey again , dont get me wrong in my opinion only CCV kinda got pass marks at a push , take the cup final also where we got away with a penalty, who was the culprit yip scales , he is brutal
Tom Rogic
Sorry to repeat myself ,I said it yesterday .Celtic made some good videos over the Christmas New year period .the club now needs to make a video to simply apologise to the Fans for that dreadful performance on Thursday . The Fans deserve that apology at the very least .
We might be down if BR dousnt listen to the support drop Taylor Hatate scales and McGregor
Hatate is getting worse. Time to sell.
Also Stevie I fully agree on hatate. That careless lob into midfield was pathetic. His attitude in these games arent up to the level
The reaction by some of our fans is ridiculous. Yes it hurts, yes the performance was not good enough and you never want to lose to them. However everyone of us would have bit your hand off for the league cup, an 11 point lead in the league and possibly one home win away for CL knock out stages, people need to calm down. Sign Tierney, hopefully manage his injuries, bring Trusty in and give him a run and sign another winger and we should hopefully be fine.
It was the manner in how we lost that was the problem!!!. Our 3 Japanese players have been shocking for weeks, McGregor is looking tired and slow and Taylor and Scales should never play for us again!!!. As for Idah, he just doesn't cut it and we paid way over thd odds for him!!!. Thank God Tierney's coming back 🙏!!!.
@TheDiana1 Yeah and that happens, 50,000 of them, no fans for us it can happen. They will give us a bloody nose now and again. Do you remember us beating them 3 nil at Hampden when we lost the league by a massive margin? Saying players should never play for us again is also ridiculous, we need reinforcements on the wing for service to Kyogo and Idah and they will score goals.
Bit harsh boys, we're all hurt but don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Something wrong with how complacent we are, not starting well in less than half the games is not good enough. Pressure on management last year drove them to success, so hopefully more of the same.
We keep playing the human donkey Scales and are surprised when he’s crap
You can say it was an off day Hamish & to a certain extent you’re right, but what’s glaringly obvious is that Brendan failed to learn his lesson from the Cup final. Rangers were unlucky not to win it, but they took their chances this time. They had something like 27 shots on goal with 9 on target. That’s what I’d expect if they were playing Ross County. Everyone concerned needs to raise their game dramatically going forward.🍀
Agree 💯 with stevie
Shocking by Taylor. Scales getting the ball never had alot of options to play the ball. No movement by others. He was targetted. Its a team game. Our mid to front looked lost. They pressed us when Celtic played the ball around at the back. Im angry about the way we lost.
Punt Hatate before he’s worthless. Scales should be in the B team.
After that performance, do we have a C-team for him
Well said guys, alotta papering over in podcasts and glad to hear yous calling it out, Hatate, Taylor obviously are not interested and should be benched at LEAST!! A disgraceful performance and can only be viewed as a one off. Get Taylor out the door, watching him having a laugh with Hun players at final whistle was infuriating. HH🍀
Have you got a link to Taylor laughing at the end? Missed that.
@@neildmediasorry Neil I don’t but believe me ye probably don’t wanna see it. If ye get link to full match you’ll see it. HH👍🍀
We need a bigger more rugged midfielder who can win those one on ones in the middle of the park. And IF only we could manage to entice Jota back to help steer the ship home in may.
Get the physical element in midfield to sit then go in midfield.
Seemingly the best thing Engels has done for his reputation with Celtic fans is not starting in the Derby.
Playing McGregor in the 6 has to stop, has always been awful in that position against any real team.
Put any player in there and move him up if you are in the he must play camp (god knows why that is a thing but it is)
I've always said this, it's a position not suited to an ageing CalMac, we need younger, stronger, faster to control the anchor position.
I don't believe that's the reason we lost, the whole team never showed up, but it should still be looked at. Perhaps Engels is destined to play that 6 position.
Agree with Stevie. Shocking and unprofessional performance. The players and the manager owe us big time after witnessing that horror show.
I don't get the fuss about that lot winning they are still pish , let them enjoy it they'll drop points at Hibs.
You don't get the fuss about getting pumped 3-0 by a rotten Rangers team?
Maybe the arrogance such as ‘they are pish’ is what has transcended on to the team and why they got pumped. Not just beat, absolutely skelped. Let’s be honest, rangers are not Pish. They proved that on Thursday. They have had really bad results yes, but on Thursday they played really well. They played in a way to stop Celtic, it was not the low block that this video would have people believe. They got forward at will and it felt like they could score each time, while not allowing a sniff
@@Nicko42PA In the short term, yes. Too keep being a sensitive emotional wreck while having already also pumped them 3-0, beat them for a trophy and sitting 11pts clear is absolutely embarrassing.
@@b.s.bobbyshaw i don't get why fans are having a breakdown FS they've beat us once in what 2 or 3 years. You can't win every game, good that Philip is in his job a bit longer 😂
@@stephenkelly2779 Spot on. Yes, be disappointed and even frustrated in the manner we bottled that game. However, to be absolutely deflated and raging at the manager, crucifying particular players etc despite having had an ultimately completely successful season up to the halfway stage is honestly confusing. The position we are currently in was unthinkable only a little over two decades ago.
What’s even more confusing is their side celebrating a 3-0 win, despite also being spanked 3-0 to remain 11pts behind and losing out on the first trophy already 🤣🤔
Your right big guy midfeild must
Big demands Stevie for a man who had done nothing but deliver for the team! Whether you like it or not, you've got to give rangers a bit of credit for the game on Thursday. Rangers got their tactics right. I have no doubt there will mora than likely be another treble. Brendan is the most elite manager we have ever had. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
The Rangers have shown that on their day they can pick up big wins but they are so inconsistent. Celtic have shown at times they can be dominated to the point of complete collapse. Thursday basically showcased the aforementioned. Celtic are still buying too many players who should be taking a first team spot but are turning more into squad players.
We will 👀 if they hibs it tomorrow, 🤔
4,2,3,1 is the way forward
I just genuinely hope that the people who were shouting about Zagreb being such a great result are not still thinking that the Young boys game is still a walk in the park.
Anyone who is/was thinking that is blind.
Also replace Scales and give him the same lack of passing options.. let's see you make an excuse for trusty.
Nobody thinks that though. Dinamo are always a tough away game, whereas YB are a must win home game. Completely different scenarios altogether.
Exactly. Trusty was taken off because he couldn't pass the ball forward. Just changing either won't solve the problem. Rodgers needs to change shape and positioning. This is on him now.
@b.s.bobbyshaw mate did you do any research whatsoever in the absolute state they were in before that match? They fully expected to get battered by any half decent side.
@pegleglonergan1539 finally someone with some eyes in their head.
They won't jump on Trusty the same way they do Scales though.
@ Nah I did, and honestly I thought we’d win. Was disappointed, but then perspective reminded me that the majority of campaigns in the CL result in zero points away from home normally. Dinamo also up their game in the CL at home regardless, so in the long run it isn’t a bad point.
Been a big fan of Hatate in general but I think we have to sell him and bring in Lennon Miller. I wouldn't be against selling him in January to get McCowan a run of games this season.
Stevie and reidzo were spot on, on the gig pod episode. I’m finished with Hatate and have been long before Thursday! A myth of a footballer! And this ‘on his day’ stuff needs to stop! The guy is consistently pish, and the decent games he has are the anomaly! Check his assists stats this season and then get back to me if you disagree! A guy with ideas way above his station, who thought he’d be gone long ago! I would speak about scales but what’s the point? He’s a bang average footballer at best and always has been! Him and a few others could leave tomorrow and it would mean very little.
yep agree excellent episode pulled no punches -interesting they did not take a step back and can tell it was probs recorded after kick off - but they both were accurate in all aspects 🟩🟢🧩
Also agree on hatate
Harms us now
Does not help us
Agree Reo was poor.. BUT… aside the offside goal, Reo’s half chance that forced a great save from Kelly was the only chance of the game which came from nothing and could have changed the game
McGregor put too much effort into riling the opposition up than playing football, Brown was the master because he could combine the both, McGregor cannot.
KT reunion would be a big lift obviously his game time will jave to ne managed wisely but what a signing he would be!#hail #hail
Nawrocki back in
Gers fan here, the coin throwing was an absolute disgrace, hope they get charged and banned for life. But preventing rangers fans from your ground hurts the good support from sides. And let's be honest would only be a moral high ground until a few of your support did the same. Then it's back to a blame game. Unfortunately every club has morons hell bent on trouble. Also, I enjoyed our win, but it's too little too late to even put a dent on you becoming worthy champions. again.
Every club has idiots, your club has a serious issue with far more incidents than any other club by some way. If you are being honest you will surely agree.👍
100 %, 7500 -10,000 In the Away End, Needs to happen and Soon.11 points Clear at this Stage and will be more in May.
Cheers, Ed.
the biggest issue on thursday especially with the forwards and midfielders is why they went into a shell ,
they were hiding with no fight, acting like cowards we know they are not really baffling how we played
Imagine the gloating now from the Huns if this loss is the only loss in an otherwise invincible league season
I agree with Stevie with many of his points. Rightly frustrated and at times outraged. At least we didnt do this against Young Boys. Little repercussions.
It wasn't that long ago that Celtic were being praised for the squad, not just their team....and how they had one good player after the other being substituted on.
Players are not machines, they will have some off days. Sitting where they are in the league table as well as the champions league table and having just won the cup, the amount of abuse Celtic have got in the past few days from 'fans' is so OTT. It's just as well we play in the Scottish league....they'd never be able to handle supporting an English club, even the top ones, where you're going to get beat and not win anything some seasons. While I agree there's nothing like the atmosphere created by Celtic fans in European nights, the 'faithful through and through' but doesn't really happen. And this must negativity only puts the players on a downward spiral.
Of course we’ll respond, a home game v St.Mirren, not a problem, let the Huns enjoy the 3 points they won, it was a ghastly performance from Celtic 😮 how Hatate came out after the 1st half is a mystery,surely the manager saw he was extremely poor🧐
The Huns seemed to want it more, they where 1st to every 50/50, they passed it quickly & got stuck in whilst some of our guys didn’t look up for it🤔 I imagine our Brendan will sort us out for tomorrow & get us back firing 😊🍀👌🏽
Cannot believe that yet again Taylor is the whipping boy for a mistake SCALES made. He's telling him to go back - he's right, they should have went back and if they didn'twe don't concede a goal because Scales CANNOT pass.
Too easy to take your foot off the gas when you are romping the league. Worry not. Celtic have levels to go. And will hit those levels in the second half of the season 🍀🏆🏆🏆
Time to replace McGregor. He's way off the pace.
I can't believe you spent half the video going over Thursday's game again.
I mean seriously, what is there to say that hasn't already been said about it? This is when Time stamps on your videos are a God send. No harm to Stevie but I cannot be arsed with another 18 minute segment dissecting that horror show.
Time to get over it lads!
It’s also how he went about it. He’s had a complete meltdown wanting a full overhaul… of a team that also already beat them 3-0 when it was a closer race to help go 11pts clear in the first place and that managed to get past them for a trophy. It’s just emotional drivel, he would have been told to give his head a wobble in the 90s and early 2000s.
Completely forgotten we won the last two games before that 4-0. Perspective please. It has been a bad day, off the back of an incredible calander 2024. Maybe the lads just took their foot off it a bit given we were 14 points and 100 goals ahead of them. Understandable. It may help us knuckle down a bit for Young Boys and the rest of the SPFL season. KT will come back and Brendan will get them motoring again in no time.
@@blehoo1 Beating teams with a fraction of our budget 4 nil proves nothing. Its games agianst rangers or in eurpe that these players and manager should be judged on.
@@jackjones1249 If it's just about games vs rangers for us, then presumably it is also just about "games vs Celtic" for them?
So with that in mind, how do you explain the 11pt gap when we've both got a win apiece in our two league meetings? Shouldn't we be level on points?
I mean if that's all both sides are to be judged on then why is Clemente's job hanging by a thread?
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. Rangers are a poor team who will drop more points, not sure what point you are making as it makes it even worse if we have just been scudded by a poor rangers team who cant beat other spl dross.
Yes learn 2 twice they sit with a high block for Celtic out scales Taylor hattatie
100 per cent agree with you' proper cant and hasnt been able to handle long balls all season against shit teams. Proper played in dutch league, and he's used to the ball on the floor and the game being played in front of him. We needed to mix up the play a lot more' 1 pass and we could have been in far more times, and they would never have coped
Kyogo doesn’t get enough service ffs put the ball in box
Yes Hatate is overated
Gets to much preference and needs to be benched an earn
His spot (happy if he is sold ) keeps on saying
Wants to play at a higher level
He isn’t good enough or
Consistant enough
I was angry too stevie do I'm with ya....lack of leadership and strong characters for me
I like Stevie and agree with a lot of what he’s saying. But slight overreaction, which can happen after that game. To say we need a change of system after that game is over the top and to say McGregor can’t play as a 6 is silly considering he’s done it so many times. I would not be against (a 6) as Stevie says, coming in for support in that area at all. Would welcome it.
We need another striker. There's noone pushing each other. Kyogo plays and idah comes on on the 70th minute to replace him. That's shit management
