PRE_MATCH COMMENT
Once again what should be looked upon as nothing more than a hard away game takes on far greater significance as a result of our recent results.
BORUC ….…….6 I’m sure he had absolutely nothing to do in the first 45 mins and perhaps that’s the reason he decided to come out for a cross he had little chance of getting. However it smartened him up and he was then back to his best form.
CALDWELL ….5 He must be willing one of the right backs to recover as quickly as he knows, and we all know, “he ain’t a right back”.
KENNEDY….. 6 Steady
McMANUS…. 6 His highlight was doing what he does very well, i.e. blocking shots.
NAYLOR….….. 6 I think he’s over the worst and if he could just be more accurate with his final ball he would be back to top form.
HARTLEY…. ….7 Making that position his own now. He has lot’s of Lennon’s qualities but has a more positive approach and a forward pass!
JAROSIK…. ….. 4 Apart from a couple of defensive headers he only confirmed what most of expect to hear in January……."taxi for Jari ”.
BROWN …….. 5 Let’s hope he’s about to replicate his early form on Tuesday. For a player of his ability he has gone off in the last couple of games.
McGEADY…. 7 Anyone who doesn’t want him in our team is, frankly, in need of help. The progress he has made this season is so important to the team and his performances on the right side must be giving GS some thought about team tactics. Of course if he could start scoring he would be a better player but he is at the moment a very good player.
JVOH ……….5 Yes he won a few more balls in the air than he has been doing recently and yes he made one or two good passes but he still has a fair bit to go before he’ll be considered good value
McDONALD ……….8 MOM What a great signing he is turning out to be both financially (he cost 700k and Celtic rec appox 2.5m for Millar). He not only has an eye for goal but he is quite composed when presented with difficult scoring opportunities. Must be on target for 30+ this season.
SUBS ………….
Surprisingly when you consider Tues game there were no subs.
REF(McDonald) 6 It wasn’t that he didn’t make his normal barrow load of mistakes it was that this time his mistakes mostly favoured Celtic.
THE GAME ……6 A good hard, physical Scottish tussle.
GOALS ………. 1st A peach of a goal made out of nothing, McDonald’s skill and persistence being the key components.
2nd A real poacher’s goal
COMMENTS ….. 1 We got the3 pts and that was all that mattered.
2 Benfica visit on Tuesday and although Celtic stand only a small chance of making it through to the last 16 a victory must be on the cards. McGeady to score 1 and make 2.
