Ange Postecoglou gave Spurs glory. They gave him the sack.
In a game driven by greed over glory, Postecoglou’s sacking is a brutal indictment of modern football.

The new Ibrox appointment brings a very different challenge to the table for Brendan Rodgers. And it’s actually quite exciting.

Jota will be ruled out for up to nine months with the injury he picked up at Tannadice.
A massive blow for the player personally and the club. He was still working his way back to full match fitness and sharpness.
Will play a part in the second half of next season. ❌

Brendan Rodgers has been dropping breadcrumbs when it comes to his long-term future. I believe the Celtic manager has had a three-year plan from the beginning, and that's what we'll get.
Let's enjoy the ride, but be mindful of the future.

Bhoys were outstanding tonight. Engels and Maeda in particular but we played brilliant football, great goals and we pressed and harassed until the full time whistle.

Jota’s return to Celtic was full of emotion—but not everyone appreciated it. McGeady & Boyd took digs at his reaction, but they completely missed the moment.
Football is built on passion—why sneer at it? 🤷♂️

So many positives on Wednesday, but the alarm bell in my head is deafening—what if CCV isn’t fit for the knockouts?
Does that “what if” push the club to act, or are they set to roll the dice?

Rodgers confirms KT has signed a pre-contract agreement.
"Ideally it would (happen in January) but he’s still at this moment an Arsenal player.
"I think everyone is agreed that will definitely take place in the summer. If we can do it beforehand, then great."

Alex Valle heading to Como on loan for the rest of the season. Celtic agreed to the loan deal being terminated early to make this move happen.
He leaves with a League Cup medal and maybe a league title medal in the post. 🥇
Not bad for 19 appearances.

You don't often see a club sell its top striker mid-season. If Kyogo does go, Celtic has 100% considered our league position. Had we been just 3 points ahead, there's no chance it would have happened.
Saying that, if Kyogo fancies it, and we have a replacement. Let's go.

Celtic found a way. Simple as that.
Massive props to Adam Idah who didn’t score the goal but he did the work. Kasper coming up big too. No less than Celtic deserved.
And when we all get our breath back, we’re having a party in the champions league.
Good night.

Just the 3 goals disallowed and a poorly hit penalty for Celtic in the first half.
Celtic have been all over the away side and have nothing to show for it. We were never going to run away with this game tonight but even I didn’t see a first half like that coming.
Lots to do.
