So, about £1m less than Rangers paid for Garner... I think the compensation amount was £350k. Spurs tried to buy him for £6m I think in January but it broke down over whether Fulham, who were in a relegation battle, kept him for rest of the season or not. IMO a real coup for Celtic to get him in the summer, still quite raw but he's got pace power and can finish. If we can get 2 seasons from him I would be happy but he has said he is happy to learn here for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in Europa league under Deila. 25 home CL matches just 3 defeats despite us having some right average players over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty impressive CL record. I hadn't realised it was that good. (unfortunately the away record is more impressive for the wrong reasons! ) Cracking game to watch as a neutral, having spent a chunk of the day with talk sport on in the car listening to ignorant English pundits write Celtic off, I was quite happy to see them put in a performance.

You can't impress Rossy with a 3-3 draw against Guardiola's Man City, you need to be beating world giants like........I don't know.........Rijeka? ???

Aye, but I'll be expecting the same reaction on social media and the like the next time Saints draw with Celtic. Given there is probably a far bigger gap between us and Celtic than there is between Celtic and Man City. Anyhow, congrats on stopping them on their winning run.

Spark Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Shame we never managed to hold on to any of our leads but a point would have been welcomed at the start of the night. It's a shame Brown has retired for Scotland because he's been excellent this season and tonight. Another amazing atmosphere, the standing section has just added to what was already the best in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown could have picked up the runner a bit quicker but it was Lustig's man who eventually tapped it in so harsh to say it was Brown at fault for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there will be exceptions to the rule but for the most part, the group stage is dull and predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Aye, Scott brown did amazing, he lost the ball far too easily for one of the City goals. I'm still glad he has retired from the national team. tierney made some good runs and had a hand in two of the goals which is pleasing in the run up to the Lithuania match because he will be full of confidence. How did Armstrong do when he came on? Any other scots get on? I missed the last half hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite impressed with Armstrong when he came on. Certainly didn't look out of place at that level. Was disappointed Brown retired from international football, but didn't think he was great last night. 6 or 7/10 rather than 8 or 9/10 in my eyes.

Boynze Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 thought Armstrong did quite well, a lot of energy and looked to be positive. Did not get loads of the ball but always looked to do something with it. Hopefully he can progress this season and get in the Scotland squad.

Spark Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't think Armstrong completed a pass all night and could have given a goal away with that poor headed clearence on the edge of the box. "Lots of energy" doesn't equate to playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Armstrong do when he came on? Any other scots get on? I missed the last half hour. Similar to Robertson, Tierney seems to be better as an attacking option, as opposed to his defensive side. Sterling skinned him several times which is a bit worrying for the England game. I've thought the same as aaid, that there is maybe a way to play Tierney AND Robertson. Able to double up when required but taking turns to burst forward ? Or maybe Wallace is back because WGS thinks his defensive game may be required at some point. Just to add as an edit, not being too critical of Tierney, as Sterling is doing the same and worse to international full backs in TBLITW every week.
