SENTINELCELTS

In the last 3 games we have,,,,,
Scored 13 goals and conceded a solitary strike against.
Successfully navigated another post European tie.
Kept the Treble Dreams alive.
Blooded a new keeper, left back, and a homegrown central defender who is showing good signs of promise.
Seen our first and second choice strikers excel.
Used the entire squad with aplomb.
Witnessed the returning hero strike his iconic goalscorer pose.

Alongside the above we now clash with one football’s true global powerhouses whilst being granted the required clemency to have thousands of our own take over sections of the famous Alliance Arena.

Are you not entertained?
As far as what’s happening on the pitch, the essence of any football club, we can’t ask for better.

As for the game itself there’s plenty of takeaways. Sinisalo looks a well able deputy/replacement sheriff between the sticks, Schlupp is far from an over the hill has been, Murray might become Brendan’s legacy on the pitch, and Ralston is fine against domestic opposition so AJ can get rested when suits.
If I told you our new wide player conjured up two assists and a goal you might say we have a find, well Yang achieved exactly that and it’s understandable that a player getting minutes shows signs of improving. That kind of contribution usually sees a player stay in the first team, he needs to keep doing that to force the question.
Especially now our previous 1st choice has now been shunted to backup striker opening up a potential slot. Daizen bagged a fine hat trick, looked every inch a Celtic No.9, and reminded the world he’s more than just an athlete. He’s not just our top scorer now, he’s and asset to Celtic in every department from pressing to increasing his value as a player. He’s replaced Kuhn as the most improved player.

We certainly bring form into the big midweek clash, these players traditionally finish strong and that looks like repeating itself. Our Treble Dreams are boosted by the 2nd favourites being knocked out yesterday, pity as I wanted their scalp, but Hibs and Aberdeen will be no walkover. The biggest concern is being left demoralized post Bayern, but Brendan is excellent at picking up the group when needed. We might not progress in Europe but we are progressing on the park which bodes well for the summer window (less apparent holes to plug) and the early season qualifiers. We are certainly progressing in the Scottish Cup after being Five Alive!
The entertainment rolls on, the Celtic story continues to be the best page-turner in existence.
Savour these good times.
