OVERALL – 1/10 – Solitary one, just for actually creating a goal, though offside. Like some diddy cup team overawed on a big day out at the Death Star. This was the worst performance of the season, possibly the year… Wait for it…Wait for it… There you are. A worse overall display than the Dortmund nightmare, given the comparable abilities of opponent. Completely absent competitive levels of interaction, played out to a
non-existent tempo in a timid, placid expression of confusion. Like kids just introduced to each other in the tunnel, spooked by all the noisy people shouting at them. Rinsed by the Zombies and rolling over like pussies to be kicked in the haw-maws at will. Jesus wept, Celtic.
Match commander gathers evidence against theRangers thugs
A disgrace of a performance that, if it weren’t for the outstanding GOOD grace these Bhoys have gathered for their scintillating opening months of the season, would deserve the end of a few tenures. That may still happen given the transfer window is open, which might have a few glancing over their shoulders and wincing at calls from their pet sharks; ‘Agents’, sorry.
The Celtic shirts don’t shrink to fit inferior players and a few were running about like Madchester ravers of the 90s today, kit billowing in the waves of rancid, bigoted breath from the ugliest crowd of misbegotten hybrid creatures on planet Earth. The jungle drums will beat loudly tonight and those cheeky monkeys will squawk vociferously about their metaphorical trophy champions until the next collective of jobbers take points off their bottling underachievers (probably Sunday…). We, on the other hand, must gaze into the mirror and realise you’re not the fairest in the land; Not as long as you get complacent about your domination and begin to believe your own hype.
