Work to be completed all spherical – top-flight fan views


Celtic fans are fairly content after avenging their Scottish Cup final defeat by Aberdeen, but they are still hopeful of new additions in one key area.

Stuart: Celtic are four points clear already of the only other team to win the title in over 40 years. This season is already over.

Tommy: I think one thing learned from this game is that Adam Idah should never be first-choice striker. This board should hang their heads for not replacing Kyogo. Dvery penny is a prisoner with them. Their arrogance will be their downfall.

Tony: Adam Idah should be dropped and transferred. He’s the blunt edge of the attack. James Forrest, Daizen Maeda and Benjamin Nygren should start, with Callum Osmand in reserve. Jahmai Simpson-Pusey should start in defence beside Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Dillon: Great strike by Reo Hatate! Early contender for goal of the season perhaps? Looking forward to seeing us grow more as a team as the season goes on.

Peter: Job well done. Some players need to polish up their passing, too many are going astray and you cannot do that in European competition. Just get that sorted and get a centre-forward in and we should be okay.

Jackie: Well played Celtic. Not an easy stadium to go to but another three points. We still need to sign quality players, though.

Aberdeen fans are not so happy with their cup-winning heroes after the Pittodrie defeat.

Andrew: Aberdeen are absolutely appalling and must be candidates for relegation even this early. This is simply non-football from a team that cannot even manage the basics required from a team.

Fergus: On this performance and how Aberdeen are starting the season, how long before Jimmy Thelin is under pressure? I predict happily he will be gone before Christmas.

Donald: Thelin doesn’t know what he’s doing. Aberdeen have some good players, but Thelin’s tactics are naïve. I doubt he’ll last the season.

Wullie: Aberdeen are the worst team in the league, barring Falkirk, from what I’ve seen so far. The basic ability to hold on to the ball and make simple passes is just not there, defence is all over the place, no midfield, and the worst striker the club has ever seen. Thelin is out of his depth and in a worse state than last season. Winning the Scottish Cup was the best and worst thing that could have happened to Aberdeen. Bottom of the top six at very best.

Alan: Why so negative from Aberdeen? Every throw-in goes backwards and puts the defence under pressure. No ambition in the team at all.

Steve: I fear for Aberdeen this season. First half of last season they flattered to deceive. A run of good luck and narrow wins made them look far better than they were. The second half of season I think was a more realistic representation of their performance level.

If they repeat their second-half performance from last season for the whole of this, they will be deep in the relegation battle. The first two games of this season only back up my gloomy assessment.

Graham: Sivert Heltne Nilsen and Graeme Shinnie’s combination does not work. We found that out last season. Amount of time to swap Leighton Clarkson for Nilsen was criminal – and they scored the second goal in that time.

Rangers supporters are another bunch not happy after the side who beat Viktoria Plzen in Champions League qualifying could only draw at home to Dundee.

Sally: Rangers simply do not have the quality, imagination and skill to break down packed defences. The lack of imagination at free-kicks and corners is only too evident.

Craig: Sadly, Rangers still lack killer forwards. The stats tell it all – plenty of passing and possession but can’t score.

Josh: The Old Firm will still be first and second in the league come the end of the season. Neither will run away with anything, though – they simply aren’t good enough.

Martin: Rangers are perhaps starting to realise that their team is not as good as they were making them out to be. A lot of weaknesses are evident and will need sorting before the gap gets even wider. Celtic could arrive at Ibrox seven points clear, which would put an enormous amount of pressure on this Rangers team.

John: Let’s agree, Martin was never the man for this seat. If Panathinaikos had a decent finisher, we would be played four, won nil. I don’t know if he was the cheapest option as manager. If he was, it is false economy. Four games in and the punters are not going to turn up to watch this perpetual drivel.

William: Shocking performance from Rangers – unable to breakdown their defence, no passion or commitment and poor skill levels. If they are unable or unwilling to put in the expected level of performance, they should be shown the door.

The result at Ibrox is given renewed heart to Dundee fans who were worried about the early days under new head coach Steven Pressley.

Paul: Dundee were by far the better team and only an extremely dubious penalty decision robbed them of a famous victory.

Albert: Very proud of my team today. I am fully behind our manager and have been since day one. I wish the rest of our fan base can now finally see that we’ve a strong team as going to Ibrox and getting a point is a massive step in the right direction.

Alfie: Got to say I was a Pressley-skeptic, only deepened after the Airdrieonians and Alloa League Cup games. But slowly he seems to be building a well-organised team with a threat from set-pieces. Like a lot of Dundee fans, I’ll be very happy to be proved wrong over his appointment.

Gary: Dundee robbed with that penalty award. How VAR can award that highlights the real concerns around this current crop of referees. Dundee were fantastic in defence and so unlucky not to collect all three points.

Andy: Lots of positives for Dundee to take from that performance. There are reasons why the Dees have had a shaky start: whole new management team, several new players in the door, new structure behind the scenes. With still three or four players to come in, I’m massively encouraged that Steven Pressley will be a success at Dens.
