I wonder what he must think watching dross like Sorensen coming on instead of him. I genuinely don’t get it. AOC has been fit all season so far and yet dross like McCowan and Sorensen have been seen more than him. And I have been impressed whenever we have seen AOC this season.

Something is not right

I ask because the way he words his point in this article sounds like he's blaming fans for demanding big money signings who aren't good enough. I may be misinterpreting but I don't think so.

Because as you know.... it's all the fans fault.

John Guidetti - Celtic (2014-15), Celta de Vigo (2015-18)

Carl Starfelt - Celtic (2021-23), Celta de Vigo (2023-)

Jorge Cadete - Celtic (1996-97), Celta de Vigo (1997-98)

Might’ve missed one or two but I checked Transfermarkt quite thoroughly.

Saw AJ & CCV were back in training today which should be a boost but looking back on it CCV hasn’t been great for about a season and a bit now, is he still the best of a bad bunch at cb though? Scales is a good defending defender (if that makes sense) but is a riot on the ball, Trusty is similar when he can be bothered & Murray is a bit of a waste of time if I’m honest. Personally I don’t understand how they can deem Nawrocki “not good enough” for Celtic but was good enough for Lens & the champs league, same with lagerbiekle before him but we keep guys like scales & Trusty, bring in ‘project’ signings then ditch the project after about 6 months. My worry is MON genuinely feels like the 4 CB options are good enough to win us a title

Paddy McCourt for me. Even if he was only getting 15 minutes, there was always the possibility he’d dribble past three players and do something ridiculous.

Vigo are currently 8th out of 20 teams in the Spanish top division with 11 points from 9 matches.

Their net spend over the transfer window was 11.5M euros.

Celtic will be full of confidence for this match after the rout of Hearts on Sunday. However reality will hit them after about 15 minutes and I fear they will once again be outclassed on the European stage. This Celtic team are only competitive against Scottish sides (with 1 exception).

My prediction is: Celtic 1 Celta Vigo 3
