    True. It's the time it's taking to bring in better players though

    Scored 3 top class goals, great goals.

    The 2 we lost .. one man's fault. But it highlights how poor we are at the back.

    Another good display from Ralston

    Pretty impressed with the majority of that performance, individually and collectively.

    Yes there were 1-2 issues, and Starfelt needs time.
    But I have real confidence Ange will sort it all out, the progress and transformation over 4-6 weeks has been incredible and my Celtic mojo is fully restored.

    Hard to believe we suffered the incompetence of Lennon for so long

    Some folk are being pathetic with the negativity . We all know we need a few defenders. Another win and destroyed them for most of the game, after the last year and half of * I’d take that

    I enjoyed it! Compared to last year, that was so much fun! We're still pants at the back but then we already knew that. Superb going forward though! Very happy Rogic is back, love the bloke. Ange has only just arrived and we've only just started! All in all, thumbs up!

    Well you insinuated as if people had, what else does you’d think we lost mean?

    We should have won that by 4 or 5

    We look great going forward. Just need some defenders brought in and we are good

    We beat a team who beat us a few weeks ago so job done.

    First half football was as good as I've seen in years.

    Other takeaways would be, Starfelt looks like a player we should replace, not a new signing and Ajeti is never a striker, why did he not shoot?

    When will that be Paul, another week?

    He needs help and isn’t getting it..

    Look at the wonders he's done already to our play, with some very limited player's in it and no depth..

    We all know where we're weak. Our attacking play is masking that just now because of what he's getting out of the team, and some very good attacking purchases..

    There will be those who say you're being overly negative but it's * shocking that this game ended up 3-2.

    We should not be losing goals to a team with only 20% of the ball and only 3 shots at goal.

    Brendan Rodgers' Invincible team won something like 10 games in the league 1-0.

    That's the highest scoring Celtic team in the history of league football in Scotland.

    The point being, we can't expect to score lots of goals in every game, football doesn't work like that.

    That means we simply cannot afford to be pishing away soft goals when our opponents are nowhere near us for the majority 9f the 90 mins.

    They had 23% of the ball ffs

    We have to be able to win games narrowly without conceding.

    I feel just the same about the squad as I did when we gifted them 2 goals at Swinecastle, we need at least 5 more signings.

    Fail to strengthen and you're handing an average Hun side a title they won't deserve.

    Agreed, it’s becoming a bit of a * take tbh. Feels as if they are using the upturn in performances to take the foot off the gas in the transfer market.

    New full backs are an absolute top priority.

    I agree but not every team is as bad as the diets, other better teams will punish that defence and it will cost us.

    Think we need to prioritise a CB at the stage. All well and good being linked with Henry etc but at the min we need to tighten the back up as a matter of urgency.

    No I had insinuated that the mood in here was as if we'd had a negative result, not that anyone had actually said we had
