The Celtic Thread

those talking about the penalty - shouldnt mclean have been off the pitch for the ball grabbing of kouassi having already been booked?

mclean was a clown, lucky to have been on the pitch. hearts keeper made a couple of cracking saves tbf, though it was an awful blunder for the second. second half was like the celtic of old, free flowing, attacking football. great to see Sinclair back to his old self, linked up well with KT.

Roberto Baggio wrote: McClean should have been booked at least for grabbing Kouassi's balls. It was sexual assault!   However his first booking was very harsh, Lustig went down holding his face in order to get him in trouble when he was barely touched. He later dived to try to win a penalty Lustig. Poor form

A booking only for sexual assault?

They had a lot of luck in the earlier weeks, even when winning they looked poor. They were totally exposed at Ibrox and again yesterday. Hibs are better than them.

Brendan Rodgers have given an injury update on his squad ahead of the trip to Dundee on Wednesday.

As Record Sport Online revealed on Monday, there is still no timescale for the return of Leigh Griffiths with the Celtic boss revealing the medical staff have 10 injuries to deal with.

Rodgers, however, did reveal Tom Rogic – who played the full 90 minutes of the Betfred Cup semi-final win over Hearts at the weekend – is available.

The Aussie’s game-time has to be managed but he is fit for the trek to Tayside.

But there are no guarantees over Olivier Ntcham, who was subbed off at half-time at Murrayfield with a hamstring or Eboue Kouassi who also came off on Sunday.

Rodgers said: “Tom Rogic is available and will be in our squad tomorrow. Olivier Ntcham we just need to wait 24 hours to see where he’s at, same with Kouassi as well.”

As for Griffiths, Rodgers remains in the dark over his return date – and warned it could be weeks.

he manager said: "I'm not sure at this moment, we just take it day by day. It's a blow, Steven Naismith being out for Scotland and for Hearts but we just need to assess that.

"There is not a lot of time, that's the only thing I would say. Certainly if Leigh was available he would be nowhere near match fit but we will see over the next few weeks where he is at.

"He was here today, he was in the treatment room with the medical team.

"We have 10 injuries so our medical team are working hard with the players to get them back, but there is no timeline on it."

Interesting shout - that where he started his career afterall

4  up playing like last season.

Great pass by Arzani, how’d Tierney miss
