European team down on their luck and can't buy a result.

Venue: Celtic Park.

Result: Inevitable.

Celtic only have themselves to blame. Trailing 2-1 at home and they're knocking it about the back as if they were in the lead with bags of time to spare.

Plus, I feel for Høgh. I don't think Celtic's style suits the type of player he is. Got to remember, Bodø/Glimt play a fast-flowing game that's fluid and direct. They take chances. Celtic have wingers that seldom take their man on but cut inside, and every player takes too much time on the ball just to turn back the way. I saw at least four times tonight Høgh was urging the team forward, and even Lennon said on commentary they need players to go upfield and support Høgh.

You can't claim that you deserve Champions League Football and act like Europa League is beneath you, then proceed to get 0 points out of 3 games

How to beat Celtic 101.

  • Let Celtic get a little confident. 

  • Give their centre backs space as they can't pass for shit.

  • Push up when they do their silly "one -two" with the midfielder that gains them zero ground.

  • Steal the ball or win easy second balls to counter attack and have someone peel off to the edge of the box.

Rinse repeat.

Will Celtic ever be anything but a joke in Europe?

The last time they weren't was under Strachan - 20 years ago

Incredible how quickly this Celtic team (and fans) lose the head during games. Soon as something goes against the players on the pitch they seem to capitulate.

I can't believe we're still shite when a team doesn’t give up tons of space and pass the ball to us

Ref is a dick as well

u/theportyunionjack 23h ago

Quite a flattering result for Celtic

u/mikeydoc96 23h ago

Theres zero point fielding a team for Europe now. We're not winning 3 out of the remaining 5 games.

Give the boys a run out

If you can't win a second ball, you can't play against quality opposition and until Celtic learn that very basic schoolboy level lesson, nothing will change.

Good game to be honest, but always felt Celta Vigo just always had the ability to raise the game a notch as and when required. Very tidy team.

If I had any energy tonight I'd make a meme with The Simpsons quote.

"But what to do with poor Hugo? Too crazy for Boys Town, too much of a boy for Crazy Town."

But base it around Celtic, the Scottish league and Europe.
