In every Jack Ryan film, there's a moment where he declares himself an analyst not a field operative. Despite being heavily involved in and performing excellently in operations in the previous film.

I'm not 100% convinced about the reappointment of MON. I think we'll know by the end of the month though.
Bologna away is the only 1 that currently sits as not being a 'must win'.

Celtic are in a position where they need to win every game in January, excluding Bologna away, to maintain an interest in the remaining competitions. That includes Hearts at Tynecastle.
Current form suggests that's unlikely.

It's ridiculous having to wait up until 10 for a delivery. Nevermind how bad it is for the drivers.

The #celtic board should have thrown money at getting a decent striker through the door the second the transfer window opened. If we get one very quickly there might be a chance to salvage the league. Even if Nancy remains.
Others required too but that's the absolute must have.

Two games ago. I said if we took 6pts from the two games we could effectively write Rangers off as league challengers. Now they're level with us.

Nancy sets up the team and we absolutely ragdoll them in the first half and for lack of a decent striker should have the game done - that's on the board.
2nd half Nancy makes changes that push players into unusual positions, instead of trusting what had been successful for 45 mins - that's on him

That comes from Trusty's poor clearance leading to the throw. Then he's weak in the next phase of play from the throw in.

The other day I realised the quite a strong similarity between Cemalim by Erkin Koray: youtu.be/F-k_Fr67bPQ?... and Cold Blooded Old Times by Smog: youtu.be/qXdDfeL2g58?... probably coincidence.

Hopefully that's the last time we see Schmeichel in a Celtic jersey. Obviously at fault for the 2nd but I'd say he's culpable for the 1st too. Then there's the terrible chipped clearance, saves he should be catching.

Very underwhelmed by the Celtic transfer rumours so far. Where's the fading Premiership star? The foreign wonder kid? The Scandinavian based player of the year?
