    100% agree. It's such a * up attitude.

    This is highly controversial but I think we should consider going into European qualifiers with a settled, fully-strength squad as it might make it easier to qualify.

    Hope I don't cop a ban for this xo

    I always find it strange why some people seem to set the benchmark for us based on the 90s. Basically as long as we are better than back then it isn't that bad. Not sure why people want to set the benchmark based on our lowest period.

    Burns 2 seasons were when I first got into football and Celtic and I have fond memories of it, seasons before though we were finishing 4th and 5th. But just because we were dreadful doesn’t excuse lacking standards, to some last season might have been the worst they ever witnessed if not watching us in the 90s.

    A bit of a headless chicken and his tackling is pretty poor.

    I was once one of them, I hope, in these dark times, they take pity on me.

    They've gone down hill mate, much like the club they've let standards slip - you'll be fine :fear:

    I think if I read that, “one last dance” pish one more time with regard to a Celtic player I might just die where I stand.

    Honestly the cringiest, dumbest * I think I’ve ever read. I can’t believe it’s still being written after that fiasco last season.

    A bonus that will come from the disaster of last season and shambles and late start this season in signing new players is it will massively freshen us up for this season and the next season or two. Last few years we were run into the ground with mostly the same players for a long time.

    2016/17-2020/21 Games Played

    293 Celtic (58.6 per season)
    292 Man City (58.4)
    282 Real Madrid 56.4)
    275 PSG (55)
    269 Juventus (53.8)
    267 Benfica (53.4)
    266 Huns (53.2)
    264 Dinamo Zagreb (52.8)
    254 Bayern Munich (50.8)
    252 Salzburg (50.4)
    251 Ajax (50.2)
    250 Young Boys (50)
    249 Club Brugge (49.8)
    235 Legia Warsaw (47)
    223 Shakhtar Donetsk (44.6)
    220 Midtjylland (44)
    212 Zenit (42.4)

    Played more games than anybody the last 5 years and that was us even missing the last 8 League games of the 19/20 season which would have took us to 301 games, most of these other teams finished their League that season except 3 or 4.

    Only really McGregor and Chistie and Edouard if he stays have had the ongoing long seasons as even Jullien and Forrest will be refreshed rarely playing in the last year.

    Last season was up there regarding the 90’s absolutely up there.

    I would say last season was worse because of the fall from our position of strength to finish 20 odd points behind them.

    And two of them have been two of our best players of the last 15 years or so.

    It’s the club who are to blame for losing them for less than we should. Letting them get to a year left on their contracts and not selling them when they are at their most valuable because we have no forward planning.

    Still stand by it, when we get an actual winger infront of him, who can attack and defend on that wing people will see he’s decent.

    Boys no good enough mate. If he had a bit of pace he would probably be fine, because he is technically fine. The modern full back has to have a turn of pace though, and he is painfully slow. Fine in a team when the onus is not on the team to dominate the ball but to sit in and frustrate, but that’s no good to us.
