Celtic Pre-Season Friendlies Thread

The Eden Hazard signing went under the radar.

2-4. Headed goal, Ambrose seemed to give his man too much room.

Leo Fasan really fancies himself as a footballer but keeps giving it away.

Do we have another game or two before the first qualifier?

VVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Free kick whipped in by Johansen and Virgil stoops to head home. 3-4. Game on.

Real Sociedad next Friday. Not sure if we have others but I think that’s it before the first leg.

Crushing blow. 3-5.

Virgil’s goal:

Should we sign their #5 who got a hat trick?

Yep, he looks good.

Spineless ending here. A minute or so left and we’re going through the motions. Stick big Virgil up front at least.

Match v Real Sociedad kicking off in 10.

Presume this team will start against Stjarnan:

Gordon;
Lustig, Boyata, Mulgrew, Izaguirre;
Brown, Bitton;
Armstrong, Johansen, Mackay-Steven;
Griffiths

SUBS: Fasan, Fisher, Forrest, Rogic, Henderson, Ciftci, van Dijk, Ambrose, Tierney, Stokes, Scepovic & Janko

Decent save from Gordon. We look similar at the back to the Dukla Prague game - they seem able to play little dinks in behind our centre backs and catch us out.

This is their first game of the season and they’ve dominated the first 12 minutes. Deflected shot off the post there. Apart from one decent run from GMS we’ve barely touched the ball beyond our back 4.

I’ve put the life savings on Sociedad to win the first half with a draw as the eventual outcome. Will I win?

@13-1

They’ve absolutely dominated.

Not the worst bet in the world - they have started much better but Celtic’s more advanced pre-season should help.

That said, Lustig with Celtic’s first chance with a header that he nearly converted but cleared off the line.

Pretty funny how bad we’ve been - first touches all really heavy and the passing is deplorable.

Much better in the last 5 minutes or so. Gripping stuff in Paisley.

Fisher on for Lustig the only half-time change. Hope it’s not injury related.
