My doctor, the man mini part two is upon us imminently as the man makes his way into the building. Very exciting. But first. But first Celtic. And the glorious headline of Jaran Jaran, which has carried in many back pages this morning. Including the Irish Daily Mail here. Satic three Lask Nil in their Champions League playoff. Lask funnily enough scored one of the great disallowed goals in the first minute of this game.
Ah, cracker.
My uh I hadn't seen a start this game and my live score had three notifications within the first minute.
What happened in Celtic’s Champions League win over LASK and why was it significant?
Celtic Lask has started. Lask have scored. Disallowed Lask. Beautiful strike.
It was, yeah.
But luckily it was just the starter to the actual legitimate beautiful strikes that were scored. by Celtic in this game. Take
your pick. Three of the best goals you'll likely see. People delighted for me in the comments as you yeah, as you can see, starting away. I I struggle to remember three better goals scored in this stage of the competition by by a side and Three qual or two quality players scored them. Duran, new signing coming in from Carabag, looks like a a real, real bargain. At I think it was six million or something something along those lines. Five and a half million. Benjamin Egrin, top scorer last year, player of the year last year. Bit of a passenger for large swaths of the year as well. Like he's uh like he scored a ton of goals, but he was not, on the face of it, a very good player. 1.5 million he cost Celtic.
But yeah, Celtic have finally put themselves in the driving seat at at this stage. They usually famously uh struggle in the Champions League qualifiers because they're only at the start of the season. They usually don't have their signings made yet but Thankfully the Celtic board have been quick on the action this year, getting in Casper Hoo, getting in Camilla Duran. Mickebour uh made his s first start at Celtic Park last night in midfield. He On the face of it looks like he's gonna be Arnie Engels uh replacement because he coming in c comes in the midfield but I've never seen a player look more like Rio Hotata in my life. He has the exact same stature, exact same running gate, exact same passing style.
It's really, really bizarre to see that this player who you know he was playing for Paderborn, uh almost identical to Rio Vatati who's been playing in the mid South midfield for the last couple of years. So Yeah, if Celtic add a couple of more names They could have a really exciting season ahead. And Martin O'Neill back on the touchline. Good to see. He's flat it. What do you think they need to add? They need another center midfielder. I think it was very obvious in the first like fifteen minutes that Celtics struggle with gaps in the midfield and pace. Uh so they need a more Physical a specimen, let's say that Ar Arnie Angles was probably the most physical and he's not that that strong or that f that quick.
So they they definitely need a bolster in midfield, I would say, and then potentially another goalkeeper. I know they were looking at A goalkeeper in the championship. Um struggling to remember his name, but yeah, they they have a couple of more signs to make right back. Yes, I I'm not sure it's the right move for either parties if Gavin Bazuna were to go to Celtic, but I think they'd probably need another left back as well. They they had um Obviously uh Alistair Johnson was linked with Everton. He hasn't gone because he got injured but The depth. between Oscar Johnson and N
