?? Yep we are struggling big time to find any sort of form this season tbh, doesn't seem to be any urgency, energy or imagination from the team, yet we are still top of the league!! Need to find the spark from somewhere soon or we are going to come a cropper but conversely if we do find some form(got Hibs and Hearts at Ibrox next) we could build up a good lead before the new year game against the bottom six team on the 2nd Jan! ?

You'll raise your gamev the dandies, I'm guessing..... .....?‍

Good result for Celtic today, could have been set adrift with a defeat today but managed to consolidate 6th place and stay just 1 point behind United with a battling draw, Congrats Ange, doing a great job! ?

Unchallenged as well.

Be over by the Boxing Day game.

Gerrard will now be hoping Liverpool implode and preparing his leaving speech for 'ra ranjurs' to return to Anfield weighted down with 2 SPL titles.

Please make this happen.

Klopp getting all the new contacts sorted for the older players would suggest he’s not going anywhere right now unfortunately.

Crocodile Dundee (or maybe that should be Crocodile Dundee United) replacing Lennon as manager was never the answer for Celtic.. He did however have one big factor in his favour he was cheap and they wouldn't have to pay.

The board made their priorities in the search clear and number one was he was cheap, number two was also he was cheap and number three similar. They are now reaping what they have sewn - a Ronny Delia style appointment or even worse. The league is already over for Celtic, obviously not mathematically but only a fool would predict otherwise.

I can only see Rangers running away with it for the second year running although maybe Hearts or Hibs can put up some sort of distant nominal challenge. Celtic's will be non existent.

They'll have their chance to show if they are up for a challenge in the next two games, both of them at Ibrox.

Tbh Laudo9 I don't think either will put up any sort of realistic challenge over the entire distance, noone will imo. I would already predict Rangers winning by an absolutely huge margin twenty, even thirty points.

Not so sure yet, we are not playing well at the moment but scraping wins every week which some might say is a good sign when you can still do that while being off form, worry for me is that there seems to be a flatness about the team regarding urgency/attitude and imagination during games which we won't get away with for much longer if it continues.
Will be at the two games against Hibs and Hearts so will be curious watching what they have to offer,but expect us to find form when it matters.

6 years there. Roughly that many years at Dortmund. I'd say if he was planning on staying a few more years yet held have started a clear out.

He'll want to sample management elsewhere.

Tbh Laudo although Rangers did well in Europe last year I don't really rate the SPFL too highly. For me Rangers aren't a good team but they're clearly the best in that league.

It's like a big fish in a small pond, they may struggle against the better European sides but domestically they really have no equal. Atm I see Rangers first, Celtic second although a distance behind - and I mean miles behind and the rest nowhere.

For Gerrard to get the RS job he'd have to prove himself in a more exacting league than the SPFL frankly. Anyway, Klopp's not going anywhere.

I understand that(most people do) Scottish clubs are at a total disadvantage financially (including Rangers and Celtic) compared to English and most other European leagues, but the standard thing to do (like yourself) is to dismiss Scottish teams as pub league or something similar without really knowing anything about the teams or league etc.
Rangers and celtic could probably cope with the majority of EPL teams as things stand at the moment but with similar access to sponsorship/TV money that English clubs have they would be challenging to win it within a few years.
