THE TERMINATOR – 5/10 – Willing to scrap to scrape us to a victory. From the first minute, Arne’s main hinderance in open play was his left boot. And his right one. He cut a clumsy figure, unable to get to proper grips with his touch or footing. He had plenty of company. But his saving grace was his delivery of dead balls; just get one right on the money and we’ve got a chance of snatching the points. And he did. And we did.
CALMAC – 5.5/10 – Good luck controlling the game on a park you can’t control the ball for more than a couple of touches. But the skipper persevered, performing his secondary main role very well – keeping his charges’ heads in the game and with that, our chances of winning it.

“I think that’s huge. It shows the mentality is back in the group.” 🗣️

NYLON – 6/10 – LMAO, you can’t keep a lucky bloke down. Whatever his faffing about like one of the three stooges on fentanyl, he retains that precious gift of scoring when least expected. Tonight he deflected in a deep corner with his receding hairline as he somehow managed to get on the end of it despite being gangbanged by a handful of brawny Falkirkians. Must now retain his place for comical Swedish goalscoring brilliance; the Temu King Of Kings.
Benjamin Nygren breaks the deadlock just before half time! 💥
A very timely goal for Martin O’Neill’s @CelticFC 🍀@spfl

I disagree with all your appraisals with the exception of :- Schmeical and Scales . It’s a sad fact that a team like Celtic are second best in every department , to Falkirk .
Falkirk , under the tutorage of John McLynne have better , fitter , more skillful players than a club like Celtic . The only difference is that the Falkirk players are paid a fraction of what our ” Duds” are paid .
The Falkirk players were first to every ball and at times you would have thought it was :- Manchester City or Barcelona v’s Celtic . This is how far we have regressed in the last few years ; so the BOARD and BR. should be held to account for Celtic’s monumental decline . We need serious changes at board level and throughout the whole club when Martin O’Neil leaves . What has happened when we have an Academy which hasn’t produced a decent player in years ? What is going on ; when , so called Professional players , cannot beat opponents ,cannot shoot, cannot play a final ball , cannot score penalties nor score from free-kicks ? Our club , despite its wealth is run like an amateur out-fit . Can nobody , at the club see that :- McGregor , Teirney and Hetate are past their sell-buy date ; Engals is over-rated and a waste of money ; Neigren (despite his goals) ; McCowan , Yang and Kenny are simply not ” Celtic Class “. It pains me to critiise Celtic players but the reset button needs to be pressed . Martin O’Neill will be a miracle worker if he manages to win anything with these players .I hope , I am very , very wrong .
