Shame but can't blame them really. If Spurs were in a similar position with CL qualification, I'd expect Spurs management to prioritise it, not risk injuries and fatigue over a friendly.

 

[Acid]

So there won't be much of a difference then tbh.

I hope we stick a cricket score pass them. Poch needs to embed the killer instinct in our team, if we are 3-0 up in the first half we should be looking to score another 3 in the second and not sit back.

We need more 4/5/6-0 score lines to get our goal difference to be worth an extra point.

Hmm. I wonder what we've contracted to do?

 

[Jamturk]

Great,

Facing young enthusiastic Scots trying to prove a point.

I'll be happy if we get out of this injury free.

Who's idea was this friendly?

 

[teok]

Hope we avoid injuries in this game. I can see some celtic youth players losing the plot if we put a load past them.

Bit of a waste of time all round really, bad planning.

 

[WhiteHeartLowe]

Is this game on TV anywhere?

NO

Why did Celtic ever agree to a friendly between two CL qualifying games? They must have known the dates for a while !

 

[teok]

Seems silly doesn't it. Even if they were cruising (in the CL) they wouldn't put out a full team.

 

[thinktank]

Not much of a pre-season tbh when you see the type of games manure/scum/chels/lollers/shitty have been having.

We absolutely needed tough competition and genuine resistance today to test ourselves a bit more.

I can guarantee the next pre-season will be more challenging, regardless of commercial pursuits.

More's the question why did we agree to it? A bit like England playing a warm up game for the world cup in an area known for dangerous almost biblical thunderstorms at that precise time of year. Makes you wonder sometimes whether we couldn't do better ourselves.

 

[chinaman]

I think we planned for easy games so as to ease everyone in. Didn't want to have confidence in the new coach jeopardised if we get slaughtered in pre-season.

I'll for give the consolation goal as poch hasn't been here long enough to ensure clean sheets!
