BRECSC/TFKCSC Trip- Celtic vs Aberdeen

Bitton has been very sloppy so far. You can see the evidence of Thursday night’s efforts on a few players - notably Johansen and Bitton who are struggling.

What’s the story with the pitch?

It looks terrible which is strange as it’s been in superb condition the last couple of seasons.

Extremely lazy effort at a cross there from Ambrose. Didn’t suit his right foot at all for any sort of angle but played it anyway and just handed possession away.

Bitton having a nightmare, I’d consider dropping Armstrong or Johansen back and bringing Stokes on.

That’s a bit more like it. Putting them under a bit of pressure and we get a …

DDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Didn’t deserve that at all. Credit to GMS for his pressing the keeper which created the corner. Thought Griffiths should have played the ball back to Johansen on the subsequent chance.

They look very uncertain at the back when we can get pressure on. All the more reason why we should be isolating them and letting their front 3 or 4 press right up on goal kicks.

Andy Walker calls everything wrong. Brown was perfect there.

Matthews is another who is having lots of heavy touches so far. Goal has definitely settled us though.

Poor half. Definition of a Euro hangover. Battled a bit better as it went on, Brown has been dogged in fairness and the goal came from a rare burst of energy. Hopefully that will settle the likes of Bitton and we can play a bit more football second half. Ref is a bit of a concern. Liable to give anything.

score?

Ah that was easy for Johansen to find Griffiths there. Really poor effort.

1-0. 50 mins.

Another dangerous cross from Aberdeen. Need to be better at stopping the crosses coming in.

Griffiths shuold do better there. Had lots of time and angle to find something better.

Game opening up now. We should be taking better advantage of these opportunities. Playing the wrong pass too often.

Better performance in general second half but we’re giving up chances again. Very easily caught out there from a quick free kick.

PENALTY Celtic

Griffiths… GOAL

Lovely pass from GMS to set it up.
