UTC - excellent summary - take 5 mate

Scott Brown is our most important and influential player - another masterclass today

We have just witnessed history being made. Celtic, we salute you. Hai hail 🍀

Cannae Beleive people actually tout Wright for the Rangers job, his tactics are an embarrassment.

And congrats on a wonderful achievement!!

For pedantry, Dembele actually laid the ball off to Tierney, who ran down the left and played in Armstrong, who then cut it back for Dembele again.

Sorry.

Why all the hate for Sinclair?

He has eleven goals already

Scottish football is lucky to have a player like him

Possibly because he has found his level. Does absolutely nothing in Europe. SPFL is clearly his level...

What hate is there for Sinclair?

He's hit a bit of bad form lately but he seemed to really enjoy his goal today.

From what I've picked up reading on here, he's been out of form, quite lazy and beyond getting some goals contributed little lately. Bit of a luxury that whilst celtic haven't lost they have dropped points in winnable situations. The expectations he set last season are simply higher than he had been contributing I think.

Bang on Miller

A striker you expect to not contribute much but still pop up with a goal

Not a midfielder or winger

He reminds me of Samaras.

Charismatic and high profile.

Not too sure about your use of the word 'hatred' Timmy.

Mind you he was on bonfires in Norn in July.

Like Samaras he can be a total game changer.

Can turn up at the highest level when guys who are doing it week in

week out are posted missing.

I think we're a solvent enough club to have him on the payroll.

When and where he's played is down to better football minds than mine.

He seems to play it safe just now laying it off a lot instead of turning and running at players- when he does this he is unplayable - confidence maybe ?

Foddy👍 agree, when he is "on" it he loves taking players on, otherwise he can be less effective👍

I don’t think he plays it safe

I think he is becoming predictable.

1. Get ball

2. Run at defender

3. Look for Dembele (if available go to 4. If unavailable go to 5)

4. Try to pass to Dembele

5. Cut inside and try to run through defender

Call Sign agree

BR has a part to play in this and should be addressing it.

The guy's confidence is easily dented - after his experience dawn sarf?

His goal today was a smacker.

He'll be fine domestically, hes scored a lot of goals for a winger but defensively in europe he isnt much use.

Hes scored important goals tho, in europe and domestically.

Not worried, he just needs to work on his positioning ing europe.

Had a shocker against Bayern and rightly got an early hook from BR.

'He seems to be too predictable along the lines of Call Sign's 1,2&3. Opponents have sussed him out and that seems to have affected his confidence. I'd bench him for PSG where it's a damage limitation exercise.

He has definitely struggled lately but, particularly with the 36 goals he has scored, he has deposited much in the goodwill "bank" and deserves our support and patience as he tries to get his form back.

I personally would have played Rogic instead of Scotty today as the Aberdeen performance was our best domestic display of the season - however his well taken opener vindicated BR's decision to play him.

Miller - I know you are basing your post on comments made by Tims, but I think anyone who calls Scotty lazy is wrong. Even when he is not playing well, he still tracks back and works hard for the team (as he should of course)

Good call, Silver - even if it does damage the old ticker

Steve I'm actually a fan of sinclair up here. He has been brilliant and has a rather annoying habit of filling his boots against rangers. But he has looked off this season but perhaps because he was so good last season he has become the player targeted by opposing managers especially as Dembele has been out a lot and Griffiths has saved nearly all of his good games for Scotland.

This was proved perfectly at the 4th goal - Ntcham was standing waiting on the lay off and rather than Sinclair just laying him off he passed to Dembele who did what Sinclair could have just done himself

Great player for us but just going through a very inconsistent period just now. If he scored when he's playing poor though then happy days
