    Eh no, Celtic don't have a * given right to win every game even though we are better than the other team, we have to earn it. We will not go an entire season unbeaten and hearts away is the second hardest game, a point is good. You are living in the past, Celtic are not worldbeaters anymore.

    I never said they did have a * given right to win every game. If we are going to continue to bank role more than 50% of there cash every year. then I say we have a right to expect they stop fu**ing around with the team when they don't need to.

    take Man U for example, would there fans expect them to go to Aston Villa and be happy with going out with a defensive team and getting a draw, this the same gulf as we have with hearts and they are 5th in the league, 18 points behind.

    it's also not our * given right to win the league this year but I bet you will be * off if we don't.
    I have not met a Celtic fan this week as yet face to face who thinks we have the league in our own hands. We are all on the same page with if they huns beat us at Ibrox then it curtains.

    We are all fearing the fact WGS will play the same as he did on Saturday and make a mess of it.

    Are we all wrong in thinking that there is more than a possibility that we are going to try and not lose at Ibrox rather than trying to win.

    Well if you had met me face to face then I'd say it was in our own hands.

    Me too, if we win all our games then it doesn't matter what they do, straightforward enough.

    Fair play to you then, but most of the lads i've been talking to haven't even mentioned the fact we are still in the driving seat.

    The big question is now Ibrox and losing 3 points if they play the way they did against Hearts, there is no one optimistic enough to think we could get a draw.

    Do you think Rangers will go to Tynecastle and change there team, like * they will, Rangers ran over the top of hearts at Ibrox then let they back into the game , they won't make that mistake twice

    We cannot go out on a pitch without any quality passers of the ball. WGS did just that, and we lost 2 points. I don't care if their players are physical, we have to have some passing ability in the team. We couldn't hold on to the ball for 30 seconds before Naka came in. He can guard the ball against any team, no matter how physical they are. Crosas as well. No need to put 'tougher' men. And Caldwell sucks as a DM. He's a CB, end of.

    I am quite surprized this thread is not closed yet considering when ever some 1 mentions anything about gs the thread gets locked right away!!!!

    I his tactics are pure utter garbage and i took 1 look at the team sheet in discust because deep down he would probly have been happy with the draw and thats the way he set the team out. he should have sent the exact team out he sent out against falkirk!!! When he brings guys like flood in from the cold it frustrates the life out of me and this is not the first time in an important match either!!!! jarosik seemed to be his favourite for this job.

    Also gary caldwell is not a midfielder!!! no chance infact it would not surprize me 1 bit if he used him in goal in the lead up to the end of the season, its the kind of descions we are used to seeing from him and this year if we lose the league>>> my blame goeas to him and the board for failing to spend a COUPLE OF MILLION IN JANUARY!!!!

    It was a point gained rather than two points lost imo
    Hearts are going great guns just now and are a big physical team, so
    I think a valuable point away to them is satisfactory.

    We have no divine right to win every game, and we have a lot of injuries just now to key players.

    TBH, they sound like idiots that dont know their * from their elbow.

    We have a point advantage, goal advantage and if we win our games, it doesnt * matter what anyone else does. Thats the driving seat and anyone that says any different is talking *

    dont think strach lost us the points, but depends on whether u like him or not were the blame will go, i was frustrated by the lack of urgency , want to see the team get angry and right in oppositions faces ,burocs position was abit out for the goal ,but was more annoyed by the fact he didnt reach out in his save attempt.

    Its offtopic and sniping comments like that is what gets threads closed. Read the rules and the requirements for creating threads and shut the * up about what threads do and dont get locked as this isnt the first thread that you posted that tripe in.

    Back on topic

    wgs did get it wrong. we should have beat hearts.we have nothing but the league to play for, our best players should start every game. our away form is not a blip it is now a terrible run streching over 4 months.he needs to trust the ball players in his team and inturn they will reward his loyalty with results

    But if they win all their games then they are champions. So technically its in their hands as well.

    Agree with most of that.

    Don't understand why he feels the need to * about with the team come every big game, especially after 2 good performances previously.

    I can understand it in the CL, but he gives too much respect to other SPL teams. We are Celtic and shouldn't shift our team to accomodate others, it should be the other way round.

    Against 2 of the poorest teams in the SPL compared to the most inform side that is Hearts. Big difference but you'd like to gloss over that distinction

    Only thing I was uncertain about was starting Flood ahead of Naka
