DUNDEE U 2 CELTIC 1

PRE – MATCH COMMENT: Not looking forward to this match within a great deal of confidence and disappointed that Zeng cannot play as I feel he badly needs a good run in the team. Pleased that Robson will appear against his old team.

ZALUSKA................7 After another very sound display maybe Artur will become his understudy.

HINKEL..................6 A particularly good attacking display in the first half.

LOOVENS................4 Another nervous display with bad first touches and poor passing. Appears to have lost confidence.Failed to dominate his area.

CALDWELL............. 5 Not that he was particularly poor but he seems to be a foul just waiting to happen.

FOX..................... 5 Another player who has lost confidence. His passing is nowhere good enough for even a mediocre Celtic.

N'GUEMO............... 7 He tackled all over the pitch and made some telling passes.

ROBSON.................5 I would have subbed him at half time as his touch and control were poor. He did have a better second half and got the penalty by direct running.

McGEADY.............. 7 MOM Had a great first half setting up Fortune on a couple of occasions.

CROSAS............. ....6 Was composed on the ball and certainly no failure but he is very ponderous in chasing back an opponent when losing the ball.

McDONALD..............4 Why is our top goal scorer who can't trap the ball, pass the ball, control the ball allowed to spend so much time out of the penalty box? He should be told " do a Boyd".

FORTUNE...............3 We all know he is not a striker but he could have tried to surprise us!

SUBS..................

McGINN.......... 4 Had no impact.

SAMARAS.........4 Ditto

REF ..................(McDONALD) 7

RATING: Quality: 5.4 (Av. 5.7 - Celtic should be averaging 6+)

POSSESSION:54%

COMMENTS:1. Celtic have 4pts fewer than last year when you compare the games against the same opposition!

2. GS could not sort out the Celtic defence and Mowbray is doing no better.

3. Once again Celtic have the majority of the ball, pass it around well but fail to convert any of the chances and fail to defend.

4. It's becoming glaringly obvious that TM cannot rouse his team with a half time pep talk. Once again, in a game in which Celtic dominate the opening 45 mins, they start the second half with no conviction or passion.
