Robert: It has been very clear for a while what was needed but the board has dug in and taken an unnecessary risk – and lost. Brendan Rodgers and the players are not blameless but I felt for a while we were a one trick pony and teams had worked us out. Hopefully some new signings will add the energy required.
Brendan: Absolute disgrace – why has there been no investment in the squad? Good players being allowed to leave and not replacing them… it’s the same old Celtic, trying their damnedest not to spend money but hoping for the riches of the Champions League.
Peter: We let quality players like Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, Greg Taylor and Matt O’Riley leave and bring in nobody with the same quality. What do you expect? Tierney might play the odd 65 minutes but he is not as valuable to team as Taylor. Adam Idah could not tie Kyogo’s laces. The less said about replacements for Kuhn and O’Riley the better. They both had class. With the exception of Reo Hatate there is no real quality in team. A few of our better players are reaching the end of careers and can give no more. Clear out needed, from the board down to the players. No hiding place.
Peter: Wake up. Smell the coffee. The board has no interest in European advancement. We will remain kingpins in Scotland because it is a glorified pub league. We could let half the squad leave and still win the league. So what? No ambition. Huge change needed.
Sean: Squad needs to be strengthened, simple as that. Give Rodgers what he needs and he can produce the goods – just look at last season in the Champions League!
Stewart: The result on Tuesday and the lack of movement in the transfer market confirms we have no ambition beyond domestic titles. The Celtic board should be ashamed of their biscuit tin mentality.
