Brendan Rodgers' Celtic juggernaut is in full flow for Club Brugge / A Celtic State of Mind / ACSOM

[@Mickjnr681]

Paul John, Kevin, and Asim take a bow, I thought yous covered the Michael Stone scenario first class and the podcast too, 👏🏻 🍀☘️

[@derry3344ii]

James Forrest is just something else 😮 What a great player to bring on

[@michaelmulholland9072]

Another one that has been the target of abuse from expert eye Celtic fan. He has been magnificent for years 👍

[@den264]

He was running the Hertz defense ragged and created Adam's first goal.

[@smallies7154]

legs are gone but a legend none the less 🍀🍀

[@stephenwalker850]

Ah agree that Brendan played ah masterclass on Saturday evening , I too thought Hatate could’ve been subbed but the manager’s faith in him prevailed and it was to Celtic’s benefit , let’s have it right with so many options for the manager to consider in game his task is different from the manager in the opposition dugout who’s in game choices are lesser and therefore ah much simpler task , the difference from last year and the fans frustration at the percieved poor bench has been much improved and it is ah fckn joy to witness

[@leannecampbell4551]

"Ah Masterclass" against the bottom of the League!

[@stephenwalker850]

The competition for places has created ah greatly renewed enthusiasm among the team and the support , green shoots

[@den264]

The picture of Koyogo and Adam walking off the field with arms round shoulders and both smiling and laughing shows that the competition for a Jersey is healthy.

[@davidboyle909]

Great show bhoys hail hail

[@eileenhackett1760]

Just catching up. One of the best games I was at was at Tynecastle at night. Hearts scored (they thought) right way, the celebratory music comes on, ball breaks and Scott Brown scores . We win 0-4. What a night 💚

[@smallies7154]

the cup final vs hibs in 2021 where kyogo appeared through the smoke and scored 2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TheDANNYBOHY1]

Won’t give us a decent allocation, but will take £million of us from our performances in CL

[@misterc5783]

Got to be at it on Wednesday. Obviously. Confident of a result if we are. But it’s no gimme.

[@neillynas9343]

Don't think brugge shall be a walkover have watched them more than decent

[@chantyism]

The issues with Idah have been with his touch and link up play. They haven’t been good enough so far. He will get plenty of chances to score but needs to improve his all round game. We are commenting on what we see.

[@stephendonnelly4486]

Think Yang has looked promising on his last two cameos coming on as a sub, but agree we need another winger. Time for us to let go of Palma in January and replace with a contributor

[@dannybhoy2625]

Left side needs improved massively, so much weaker than the right

[@den264]

I originally had Palma ahead of Ysng in the pecking order, but now I see it the reverse.

[@mattmaciver7981]

Which contributor? Asim?

[@stephendonnelly4486]

There was a huge outcry with regards Celtic and the minutes silence, not much made in the media with this

[@stephendonnelly4486]

No doubt its time we left Scottish Football, it is dragging us down

[@seamusmckenna-y2h]

Captain Kirk is now got a Govan Enterprise. Flying thru the universe putting on a show 12345. ….They r asking for it. 😂

[@fraserwhyte9694]

we have NEVER shown any consistency in europe, let's not have a repeat of dortmund. Need everyone to be on it so hopefully they are!

[@stephenwalker850]

In defence of Hibs they are , like Everton , beleaguered by proddy tax

[@derry3344ii]

Idah and Arne only 21.. ffs

[@lington3342]

FC Brugge game will not be a stroll at any length.They gave Dortmund a good game but ran out of steam nearer in the end.

[@den264]

There were many who did not give the team a chance against Redbull, but they proved us wrong. Lets hope they continue to prove us wrong. BTW I was one of the doubting Tams.

[@lington3342]

[@Michael19841]

Celtic should be pushing for police action to identify who sent that image in. We don’t know if the Hearts member of staff didn’t know who it was. It’s a police job. I guarantee you if a Celtic fan had posted a similar image they’d be in jail right now.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

What's the charge? Is wishing your imaginary uncle a happy birthday a crime now? LOL! It was a wind up pure and simple so calm the fcuk down and stop being a baby about it.

[@forevereverceltic9160]

Engels & Idah, go back 12 months & the negative patter was similar with a few players & our manager 😳 That same patter looked awful silly just a few months later, wee bit of patience 👍🍀

[@smallies7154]

it would be kyogo miovski shankland idah imo in scotland

[@neildmedia]

Bruges won against unbeaten Villa. Nuff said

[@Boo1023Boo]

I still think BR can get something out of Yang. He’ll never Jota or Kuhn, but he’s a good wee athlete. If game can be shored up against mid- to lower table domestic teams this year, Celtic have a usable player there. You’d hope he presses on from there but not betting on that. Him Cruyff turning two guys from Lazio is stuck in my mind. Bernardo is class. Great skills. I do disagree with previous comments about his range of passing, I think it’s average, but he’s great in tight spaces with control and passing. I think he should start regularly, but seeing him come on, especially in Scotland, with that skill while also putting himself about like an overly-excited Newfoundland puppy must be terrible for all but the best midfielders who has just chased Celtic for 60-70 minutes. Thunderbolt of a right foot too, that shot against Hearts was going to blow a hole in the net if it didn’t get blocked, it was on target to my eyes.

[@stephenwalker850]

Disagree with the criticism of the team in the first half , Hearts were solid for the first half and took some breaking down , but , let’s have it right , they were broken down and beaten well

[@den264]

As Saint Martin said after the game, Hearts lacked pace. I sgree, they could not keep up with Maeda and Kune for our second goal. Even Jamsie was running the legs off them @ 33 years old.

[@jamieyoung8237]

It's a pity..his injuries were caused by being a boy racer with daft bucket seats & Ange brung in a physio that identified that's why he was getting injured & I believe the source 🍀

[@garryrobertmcminn1709]

Jamie Forrest probably get hatrick this season .come lads chased paddy Robert’s into obscurity

[@leannecampbell4551]

Liam Scales has been our most improved and most consistent Defender, both last season and this season, as a modern centre-back required to also fulfill a sweeper role playing in a system that adopts such a high line and simultaneously, as an auxiliary left-back, due to how much Taylor inverts. For the record, the same can be said for CCV's ability to cover multiple responsibilities in unison, but we are talking about the vast improvement of Scales. Rodger's decision to unceremoniously drop him at the end of October (even after one of the best LCB displays for the club in many years, witnessed in Bergamo), looks to have been fully backed and widely accepted by the majority of our support, on the basis Scales was somehow deemed to be responsible for our defensive frailties. Even though there is absolutely no statistical data to suggest such, let's hypothetically propose that is indeed the case and he deserves to be dropped for Trusty, due to consistent poor performances. Now, where is the same level of consistency from Rodgers for the likes of Taylor (especially) and Engels, if we to follow the same logic? Both are consistently the weakest in the team every week in terms of efficiency and productivity. Engels, of course, can very much be excused for a lot of things compared to abysmal Taylor, but 3 good games out of 13 starts is someone that is not being selected on merit, but rather to uphold his inflated price tag. The fact they are playing ahead of the excellent Valle (especially) and Bernardo, clearly demonstrates favouritism by the Manager and contradicts dropping Scales for alleged poor form. Where is the same outcry from said supporters and the demand to drop out of form players like Taylor and Engels, as there was for Scales, the fall guy?

[@WeeJimmy82]

To be fair we are talking about the hearts fans on Saturday but elements of our fans are hardly whiter than white 😂

[@garryrobertmcminn1709]

That teams defence is rank rotten

[@den264]

I was hoping wee Luke might have got on late in the game, just to get in thir faces. BTW Kev. Trusty nearly lost us a goal, but due to his quick reactions he managed to get back behind the ball.

[@cormackjames]

Hey look its Asim, who doesn't have a metal detecting excuse for not showing up! I'm not making excuses for clubs, but when you consider the perceived second biggest team in Scotland can't even afford players, maybe for the smallest clubs like Hearts they probably can't afford to pay for the extra security.

[@michaelmulholland9072]

Seems the experts in the Celtic fan base have decided that Engle isn't the real deal. There is always got to be a target. 🤦‍♂️

[@ew2079]

When we are losing even Santa gets it

[@ew2079]

No seen your greeting face for a while you will be sick you’ve got nothing to complain about with our board and manager Brendan

[@ew2079]

Oh we do humour and our support is the best behaved just now but that’s only coz a years n years a dominance. Go back to rangers 9 in a row and even 4 years ago 55 moment the old blood started to get pumped up again. Years ago nobody said anything Kev don’t know what older ppl you were talking about it was all encouraged and was accepted in the media and also encouraged.

[@tamhannah358]

Oh hold on a minute, you's sing about IRA so called heroes you's canny have it both way's, love the way you's try to gloss over your fans songs. Oh the hypocritical nonsense you talk
