by the way what's he doing running up and down the stand or something he's got his kid pressing who's about 4 year old incredible stuff I just wanted to ask you if you've seen the Alistair Johnson tackle back don't you worry we're kind of on our left I'm absolutely certain we're going to argue about refereeing decisions you three what do you think Scott I said at the time
Again, a few weeks ago I had it written off and I thought it was either going to Tyne Castle or Ibrox.
I didn't think we were anywhere near it.
That's the one I'm concerned about on Wednesday.
yeah I think he simplified the game for his team Nancy came in he obviously had his favoured formation the questions were asked how that was going to look within this Celtic team you've obviously seen the aftermath of that resulting in Nancy getting the sack and then Martin O'Neill I think then when you come in she's about simplifying the game getting wingers wide
and putting balls in the box, and that's what he'd done very early on in his tenure.
Then there started to be questions when they couldn't quite find that little bit of cutting edge in the final third, and it's still been there.
That's the reason why everybody's been talking about that striker position.
At the same time as that, Callum McGregor, Dyson Maeda, Kieran Tierney, eight times they weren't in the best of form.
But what a team who, especially guys like Callum McGregor, who have won titles year in, year out, they start to find that rhythm, they start to find a way to win games, and ultimately...
sometimes football doesn't have to be over complicated it's just about making the opposition teams defend and Celtic have definitely done that and at the same time they've been a bit better defensively there's no getting away from that so I think today looking at it Maeda yes individually will be spoken about alongside Engles I thought was excellent in the middle of the park but Maeda for the goals but I just felt collectively Celtic looked a much stronger team than they had done in recent weeks I'm thinking about what Doogie Arnott said about emotion
90%, I think there's a 10% doubt regarding going to the first part on Wednesday.
I think if we get by Wednesday, we win.
I'm fairly confident going into that hearts game that we get the job done, but right now I'm 90% that we would win the league, but
He is in between and the players are in between looking at the terms of consistency that never makes for a good watch that's the truth of the matter I think Danny Rowe you can touch on today about formation playing along the back I do think Fernandes and Giga can play along the back my problem is the guys in front of them between the four at the back and the two in the middle of the park there's nothing of real structure in anything in patterns that you can see Rangers doing week in week out so that then leads to guys taking the ball and then not having an option
and then Celtic can go and press.
But if you look at the last two Celtic games before today, they won at Ibex 2-0 up in the game, second half, Martin Neal brings on Hattati, drops him down, he starts controlling the game.
Danny Rowe didn't have the answers that day, Rangers offered nothing in that second half.
You then look at the League Cup game, where they then go out on penalties, Celtic 8, first team players missing that day.
and hardly lay a glove on him with the disallowed goal so the big games and what he's been asked to come up with something whether that's between him or the player but you've got to take it as a collective he's just been nowhere near good enough in it I think it'll be very hard for any Rangers fan to accept finishing this season with the investment trophy-less and for me trophy-less and not coming away in big games with good performances that's
