    You don't think he is? After the last 4/5 years at the club and all the things he does outwith the club?

    I think he's a Celtic man. I don't think there's any doubt over that.

    He's a Celtic man like John Hartson is or Hessilink or Lubo or Larsson. Players can take the club to heart and it was the fans he was pointing towards.

    Possibly wrong to do it in public, his reaction is highly justified and I love seeing it from him. Only bit of passion I saw from the bench all night.

    I just find it strange that you would say he's not a Celtic man..? Do you not think he cares about the club? Supports the club? Do you bt think it kills him to see the club going in this direction?

    Amen mate!

    It's painful to see so little fight from the club, and everyone from the players to some fans meekly accept our situation. We are consistently being beaten by teams who we dwarf in terms of budget. Simply not good enough.

    He's a Celtic man. It's not even up for debate how he and his family have captured the club..

    I agree with everything you've said in this thread tonight :50:

    He looked like he cared. Nothing wrong with that. Only player to produce anything on a shambolic night.

    You wouldn't have seen such childish petulance from any of those players you are comparing him with.

    Trying to justify his reaction by lumping in with you or I is just untrue. He acted like he did because he thought he shouldn't have been brought off. It was a selfish act from a team player. Unacceptable in public.

    I think he cared about himself tonight.

    In fact I don't think, I know.

    I didn't say I would, not in public anyway. There's been more than a few stories about Larsson putting people in there place in the dressing room and I would be dissapointed if the others mentioned didn't as well.

    I think he's justified at being angry, as were the supporters tonight. He was pointed towards us, not himself. He was angry at being subbed and others who weren't having the same effect as him on the game staying on, you're right there but he's 100% right in his frustrations.

    Maybe done in the wrong manner but I'm 100% behind him on that. Like I said, was good to see a bit of passion on the bench for a change.

    I think the fans at the game and us watching it at home needed to see someone lose the plot tonight.
    To many times we get beat while playing rather * and all we get is the same old pish interview from a manager.

    Imo it was a good thing to see.

    Only player to get pass marks tonight, I personally think he should play as a striker as Griffiths and Ciftci are not up to it.

    On another night I think most of us wouldn't be too chuffed with his behavior but that awful team performance as well as Johansen staying on ahead of him has made us look at it in a different light.

    I'm still flabbergasted that Johansen stayed on and Commons came off.

    I understand why but he should NOT have acted like that. Save it for the dressing room... Let us down tonight with that *.

    I'd have probably done it too but still not what I want to see.

    I wholeheartedly disagree. I knew, you knew and he knew that once he went off that pitch we were not scoring another goal. he doesn't care about himself more than Celtic. I know you disagree so we'll leave it there.

    From what I've heard over the past month or so, and I'm sure you've heard too, this has been brewing for some time now, and it has come to a head tonight. I'd be wary of laying any of the blame at Commons' door.

    Yep..

    I was one when the so called revolt was happening, I was wanting Ronny to get rid of all but not in this case, it was justified in my opinion..

    It's exactly what I want to see, weirdly. I needed something like that tonight, honestly can't take anymore meek acceptance of mediocrity and baffling decisions.

    Ideally, I want to see our manager doing that on the touchline when we let Molde hit the 3rd right after we get back in it, not just sit on the bench looking sulky.

    What made it worse was watching Johansen having his wee chat with his Molde pal doing that stupid 'cover the mouth' thing at full time

    Thanks Kris.
    Delighted to see that someone in a Celtic jersey was outraged by that shambles tonight
