Great strike from McGregor last night and you've got to enjoy moments like that. At the same time, the overall performance was dire. This group needs a coach.

In Sinisalo's head, he's probably already away.

I think the board got exactly what they wanted today. They sat down (those of them who bothered to turn up), raised their middle fingers at the support and then used the inevitable reaction as an excuse to shut the whole thing down before they could face any questions.

Andy Robertson hanging the Royal Banner upside down like a true republican. Respect.

Yes, last night really happened.

Unreal drama, international football and indeed sport at its finest.
Still can't believe what's happened. 28 years is a long time. Enjoy it.

I wonder if Nancyball might look a bit like this...
I know some have reservations about 3-4-3 / 3-4-2-1, but I think it gives some interesting options and flexibility, while playing to the strengths of some players in the squad (obviously not all and recruitment as ever is key).
(With players fit)

Terrible news about Carter-Vickers, but Dane Murray must now be given a run in the team. It is also clear that if Johnston is out again, Donovan is the best option to replace him.

Balikwisha assist, hopefully that gives him a boost and he starts to contribute more.

Sinisalo has to play on Sunday. I'd like to see Murray get a run over Scales as well.

Bernardo starting a European game out of nowhere - is it 2023?
I'm here for it by the way

- Got to view that as 2 points dropped tonight and a missed opportunity.
- Great assist from Nygren, cutting in from the right wing 👀
- Donovan looks increasingly the part. Positive choices, not afraid.
- Tidy finish from Iheanacho. Handy to have someone who can do that.

Great display today 👏
The away support’s message today was clear - it’s time for Nicholson, Lawwell and McKay to go

Sunday's league cup quarter final at Partick begins a run of 5 games in 2 weeks. Rotation will be key, balancing rest, fitness and momentum.
My team for Sunday would be:
Sinisalo
Donovan
Carter-Vickers
Murray
Saracchi
Engels
Bernardo
Forrest
Balikwisha
Tounekti
Iheanacho

Still shaking my head at that booking Tounekti got for tracking back and making a brilliant tackle...

I would imagine that uploading the manager's press conference footage to Celtic TV is usually a pretty routine part of the media team's job. So, it begs the question, what senior figure has had a word and blocked them from doing so today? McGregor's video is there, so there's no technical issue.

Rodgers' press conference should be interesting today. Aside from the issues around the window and protests, we'll hopefully get an update on Tierney and Ralston's fitness and a clue of when we'll see Iheanacho.

It is curious that Celtic haven't dared to promote the latest Adidas drop. If merch sales fall, that makes the club less appealing to sponsors and that is something which might worry them.

Quick glance at the Scotland U21 squad: two Celtic players and FIVE FORMER Celtic players. I think that says a lot about our failings at academy level.
