This was billed as Celtic’s event horizon. Four fixtures in 10 days, all away from home, all with their unique challenges, but ultimately a bridge too far for this brow-beaten, beleaguered and under resourced group of players. #CelticFC

Reo Hatate is in no way a “water carrier” type midfielder, but his introduction seemed to completely hydrate the rest of the team at Ibrox. The Japanese midfielder has seemed redundant lately. Enervated and dulled, less inquisitive with the ball. #CelticFC

We’re in the club house with our feet up. Hopefully they tear strips off each other and it ends a draw. Was fuming at HT but we can’t accuse the players of chucking it regardless of how bad we are. Fighting spirit has been evident this week. #Celticfc

Desperate stuff this. Deep down, we kind of knew this was coming. Off the ball Hatate is not interested and we’re not good enough to carry anyone. Need a miracle 2nd half

Outstanding and very studious coverage of Celtic. #Celticfc

The game finishes when the whistle goes. Let them greet. The whole country despises us and I take great satisfaction from that. Shows how much we’ve tormented them for coming on 2 decades. #Celticfc.

Was buzzing for that tonight but a pitch like that can be a real leveller in games like this. Hopefully works out for us in the long run. A free midweek to get energy levels back up isn’t the worst thing either. #Celticfc

Derek McInnes being an emotional wreck and charging our dugout was not a good look. The real pressure part of the season is still a month or so off(last 8 games) and calls for calm heads. Something McInnes doesn’t have. #Celticfc

A quick look at this week. #Celticfc

Why are we just seeing this KT on in swinging corners thing. What a ball that was. Superb from the starting back 4 tonight. That’s a few of those in Europe for Trusty. #Celticfc

There are no words that can truly describe the mess Celtic have got themselves into. Nothing can describe just how inept we are at recruitment. What an absolute gift this will be for Hearts or Rangers if we lose it. #Celticfc

Someone remind me. Is this the interim or permanent manager? It’s a matter of when now. #Celticfc

Donovan has to start going forward. He’s performed well in two Europa games away from home. He can handle our domestic fixtures and has a far higher ceiling than Ralston. Great frame for the position and a nice knack of timing in the tackle. #Celticfc

Quick one on last night’s game. Writing for Read Celtic just now. It’s a change in tone from my usual substack approach but a learning curve in covering games quickly. Was on the bus this morning typing away. #Celticfc.

Not quite one foot in the knockouts but things look a lot brighter this morning. Roll on Roma. #Celticfc

My latest article on Read Celtic #Celticfc.

Wilfred Nancy: In quotes. @markmcgowan.bsky.social https://www.celticnewsnow.com/news/wilfred-nancy-in-quotes/676273/ #celtic #celticfc

Maswanhise at it again. We will need to buy 2/3 right wingers over the next two windows. Decent place to start. #Celticfc

Never been a massive fan of a back 3 but best get used to it. Will be interesting to see it applied or adapted to play against low blocks 80% of the time. An intriguing appointment to say the least. #Celticfc #Nancy

#Celticfc.

Is Donovan injured? If not, it’s quite strange to leave him out the squad and shoehorn JSP in at RB. #Celticfc

Anything above bottom 6 in the league and Ralston is out his depth. He was dreadful on Sunday but this is another level. He’s so scared to put his foot in. #Celticfc

Big Trusty looked the part today. Playing on the right isn’t ideal for him but that was a good performance. More power through the spine of the team with him, Engels and Kenny playing. #Celticfc

Writing about Celtic on Substack if you fancy a read #Celticfc

Colby Donovan -“I’m over the moon man” Go on son. Fantastic performance. #Celticfc

Inamura starting tonight ….. for the B team. What a bizarre club. #Celticfc

We would have been unlucky to lose that game but ultimately, we were quite fortunate to win. Never a handball but we’ll take it. Tounekti looks exciting. #Celticfc

About the only stick we can’t beat the board with but it would have loved to have got Lennon Miller. On paper it was an ideal succession plan for McGregor. #Celticfc

Gas man. Ant man. Na man. #Celticfc

2 points clear. 37 games to go. Not the slick performance we would have liked but a game we dominated and could have easily won 2/3 nil. Rusty. #Celticfc

Palma, Tilio and Kwon gone in the last two days. Everyone bar Bernardo gone from the summer 23 fiasco. An impressive cull. We’ll be struggling to field a 5s team at this rate. Time to get busy. #Celticfc

Undersized to play in a central position but Inamura looked very capable and natural at left back. Perfect body frame for it as well. Not as simple as this but a few fish suppers and he’ll be good to go. #Celticfc

I think I’m always wildly optimistic when it comes to youth players but a few of this lot look quite promising. Summers has always caught the eye and having been out on loan, he looks far more physically developed. Murray if he can just stay fit, has a lot about him as well. #Celticfc
