CL: 3 to play
20. celtic - pts 8 gd 0 [currently in play off position]
------
25. psg - pts 4 gd -3 [---> max possible tally 13 from 3 wins]
psg's remaining games: salzburg [a], man city [h], stuttgart [a]
salzburg and stuttgart are both struggling
goaldiff aside [too risky], celtic's points target is 14 minus any points dropped by psg, for clearest path to stay in competition. its poss teams currently 21-24 could have worse results than celtic thus providing some wiggle room |

summary of yt comments = our midfield didn't show up, esp engels
i agree with a comment from [possibly] leipzig game - leave out the goal celebration music |
hibs 3-3 aber
celtic 2 ahead and game in hand
aberdeen need be careful they don't implode |
kuhn's strike splitting the difference between the post and 3 siding defenders
#precision |
looks like man city are having their celtic 10iar season, 0-4 delivered by ange after his own recent difficulties
1990s-celtic-despondency at rangers, we know these things go in cycles, careful management required by celtic board to avoid the down slope, fast and remarkable recovery under ange, simply a huge moment |
Bernardo definitely looks the better player over Engels, Taylor was shocking again but great 2nd half from Reo and Kuhn.
League just about won today. |
0-0 hearts h-t
seen previous comment, engels is not good, is bernardo going to nick his place soon?
live reporting - bhoys disjointed, lucky to be at 0-0 ...
a huge oppo to move clear with aberdeen losing, rangers drawing |
20 matches coming up in about 75 days up to 1feb |
some thoughts...
leipzig - i think celtic's 2nd goal was the best, the hounding and tenacity to win the ball in the top left area. it would have been bettered by the kuhn to maeda pass going in.
maeda and a few others need to be worked on, for slotting the ball home from 20yds out in fast counter attack mode [given there will be few oppos against much better sides' high % possession]
quite the turnaround from rodgers from a yr ago - out the league cup, 1pt from 4 cl games and trailing rangers in league [i think]
matt o riley, matt who? [sorry matt]
hopefully kuhn keeps up his form and if so, will stay for a few seasons, but should he choose to leave, celtic could maybe buy back jota from
do we know if ange, at any time has made a move for his former players? |
 japan's loss has been celt's gain...
'Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi has earned a Japan recall after more than a year in the international wilderness. Kyogo has been prolific since joining Celtic in 2021 but he has been used sparingly by Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu, who left him out of his squads for the 2022 World Cup and this year's Asian Cup. The 29-year-old joins Celtic team-mates Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate in the Japan squad for away World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia on November 15 and China four days later. Kyogo, who was linked with a move to Manchester City during the summer, has scored six goals in 15 games for the Scottish Premiership leaders this season. "I don't need to tell you that he has achieved a lot and is a big presence in Europe with Celtic, and this time I have chosen him," said Moriyasu. Moriyasu denied that Kyogo was a direct replacement for regular striker Ayase Ueda, who has been ruled out until 2025 after suffering a hamstring injury playing for his Dutch club Feyenoord last week. The coach said he wanted to utilise Kyogo's finishing prowess and workrate.' |
ok, its a long way off, but barring injuries and implosions and transfer window sales,
villa v celtic is starting to look a bit tasty.

Barcelona are working on cancelling Alex Valle's loan with Celtic in January, although that would mean paying compensation, as they think the 19-year-old has impressed enough with the Scottish champions to suggest he could provide a solution to their troubles at left-back. (El Nacional) |
big congratulations this morning Celts.
Asagi (no position) |
What a result and performance, with share price back at what should be support I picked up 10k shares this morning as must be a seller around as offered at under £1.45.
Hatate finally showing in a big game just how good he is and what can you say about Kuhn. One victory against either Brugge or Young Boys at home should see a play-off position secured. |
