Leaders Celtic signed off for the yr with a 4-0 house win towards St Johnstone…
John F: It is tough, if not not possible, to see any workforce mount any type of league problem. On this temper and with the standard of squad Celtic have we’re on a distinct stage to each different Scottish workforce, frighteningly for the others and with the Champions League in thoughts we are going to likely strengthen in January’s switch window.
Stephen: This was certainly one of my favorite performances within the league this half season. I assumed Alex Valle and Arne Engels have been very good, with Paulo Bernardo doing job protecting for our captain. I nonetheless really feel that we’re a bit off it up entrance, but it surely’s extra to do with the dearth of service to Kyogo Furuhashi, who confirmed but once more what he can do when he will get a sniff of a chance.
John T: Having the luxurious of decreasing the minutes of some huge hitters, all of whom do a whole lot of operating in our system, while nonetheless selecting up three factors, 4 targets and a clear sheet, is excellent. We go to Ibrox with confidence. With the present type of either side, it may get messy for Rangers if Celtic take the lead on Thursday.
John M: One other relentless efficiency from Celtic, the guests defended nicely however as soon as the primary objective went in it was at all times going to finish a method.
Gordy: An impressive efficiency and an impressive perspective from the gamers, they performed as in the event that they have been taking part in a title challenger and never the workforce on the backside, it is all all the way down to the supervisor who won’t let the requirements drop, we have to get his contract sorted out after Ibrox the place I imagine we are going to present how huge the hole is between us and the remaining.
Neil: You need to say the rotation not too long ago has been improbable. Gamers sitting out and coming in have all carried out brilliantly. It is a credit score to Rodgers and one of many fundamental causes now we have all however gained the league. Deal with to observe.
It was a troublesome look ahead to Saints followers…
Duncan: Not sudden, nor disappointing. The gulf in assets in Scottish soccer is for one more debate. For Saints there’s nonetheless clear proof of higher technical gamers than earlier years, however a critical lack of on area management and resilience. January shall be essential for additions and hopefully a greater steadiness on the sector and of their mindset.
Stuart: One other sport, one other objective or two conceded by a goalkeeper incapable of coming off his line. Coupled with a multi-year difficulty of failing to cease crosses then there’s just one consequence. Supervisor wants backed and backed significantly in two days when the window opens. The earlier we cease gifting targets, the earlier we will begin trying up the desk.
Glen: I would say we’re doomed. An unbalanced squad with some good gamers however obtrusive weak point in defending crosses, nervousness in possession, lack of management on the sector. Solely slight hope is that there are small margins in most video games, new blood would possibly tip the steadiness.
Jimmy: Higher rating than I predicted, I assumed it would be worse. Nonetheless suppose we want just a few gamers in: one other striker, a pair extra for every of midfield and defence. As to the sport, we have been on the again foot a lot of the sport, sadly I feel we’re actually trying like being relegated.
Connor: Similar errors. Similar factors gone. What’s new?
Mikey: No less than we saved it to 4 than the reverse fixture at house of six. Three league house video games in January that we significantly want to begin selecting up factors. Leaking defence and want-a-way strikers is the most effective for an actual relegation battle, the squad is not exhibiting they’re up for it.
