    No point talking about the Europa League at the moment, the game is ages away and on current form we’ll struggle against Copenhagen.

    Tbh I'm assuming this is a fictional scenario, even before what happened there is zero chance of us winning the EL, let's not get carried away.

    Just people discussing it like it's a possibility, need to get real folks, I was amazed to see us in a European final in my lifetime and unless this new competition is a total * zone I don't believe I'll see another final.

    Just wish the Killie game would hurry the * up. Need to put this right, but the break done us the world of good last year so let’s hope the same happens this time around.

    Cup game first so we can play a few fringe players in that. But in the first league game back I’d like to see Taylor start and hopefully Elhamed and Elyonoussi are back.

    Agree with everything you say there. This January window is going to be pivotal as I feel as the threat is real this time. I would also say that the kind of loan deals that worked out ok last season will not cut it this time. We need legit quality up front and at center back that will clearly make us a better team plus maybe Wanyama for the middle of the park.

    We will. Lennon has 3 weeks to analyze our problems vs. Rangers, and his pride will make him be thorough. Rest will help our team, and we will hopefully fill out the roster with rotational options for CB and DM.

    I think there were already plans to go for a target man , I still see lenny going that way and copying the mon team with threats at set pieces .

    There's already a love in. It's insufferable already.

    Slippy G celebrating like that reminds me of Liverpool going top a couple of years ago when he celebrated in exactly the same way and then he slipped at Chelsea (City eventually won the league) . They're already getting ahead of themselves and it can only play into celtics favour.

    Christie has done well recently as a set piece taker. He'd have to keep practising to mature into a true specialist. Otherwise: Griffiths SOS. The taker is the most important person in a set piece. We also have the issue of heading skills. Ajer doesn't have that, and neither does Edouard.

    Edit: we're *, as Christie is injured.:54:

    He's been decent recently (3-4 games). Particularly indirect free kicks, but corners improved, too. Griffiths in his prime was better, though.

    The only type of loan I'd even accept is a wanyama deal. Someone litterly way to good we couldnt afford. Since messi hates the huns anaw I'd accept him on a 6 month loan etc etc. No 18year olds etc

    I don’t think Messi is gonna come here, not this window anyway. He’s not got the physique for the spfl either.

    It will be harder to win the league but we will do it.
    Pity Ryan Christie wont be there to help us do so.
    Need a strong 2nd half of season plus some good players brought in as well as getting rid of a couple

    It’s always been said that the only team who’ll stop us doing 10 is ourselves and that certainly remains the case. Massive month ahead.

    We didn't learn any lessons from the final so vs them I'm not filled with much confidence tbh.We also drastically need to freshen things up because Griffiths is unreliable and Morgan is not a striker.

    This title will be infinitely harder to win then next season, this is THE league title that ensures 10iar happens.

    Think it was around the time we are ummming and errrrrrrrrrrring over Lenny being given the job that I said this before, but this title is the one, win this and that lot * explode and crumble. It has and always will be down to us alone whether we want it. There is no legitimate reason any team in Scotland should be as close as they are to us currently. We've allowed it simple as.

    However if we do our usual * like we have the last few years where we've died ok December and come back after the break and storm it then I've no doubt this title is ours, * infuriating that it happens like this so often lately, we should be better then this.
