Huh?
Just seen that Callum McGregor has played more minutes than any other player in the world in 2019.
He looked utterly shot on Sunday, I’ve been saying it all season long that he needs to be managed and he needs to be rested. We played 9 games in January I think and he started 8 of them, I am open to correction on this. He played 5 successive games in 14 days. Rogic started the bench in all 5 of those games.
The only start Rogic had in December he scored in, against Ross County on the 1st of the month. He missed the Cluj games but was available for our other 7 games in the month, he got 6 minutes against Hibs and 8 against Hearts.
The best football we played last season was when Rogic, McGregor, Christie were our midfield trio.
Lennon has managed the squad very poorly, we have a host of players who are either burned out or are too safe in the knowledge that has started. We’ve been more solid at the back this season granted but Ajer is the only player really from last season and the replacements have all been upgrades on the previous occupiers. We lost Tierney but he was out of action for most of last season.
Apart from that most of the key players of the Rodgers era are regressing, Rodgers operated with a meritocracy at Celtic, players would get their chance, they would generally get a proper chance and if they took it they would keep their spots, if they dropped off then someone else would get the chance. You look at how Rodgers brought the games of McGregor, Christie, Armstrong, Rogic, Forrest on.
Even in the case of Ntcham, he’s only got an opportunity in recent weeks because of an injury to Elyounoussi and you can’t expect guys like Bayo, Griffiths, Rogic etc to come in to the breach when they have hardly played any football this year, they’ve had a few niggles but have been available for the majority of our games. The squad needs rotation, it needs pressure on the starters, it needs players on the sideline who are sharp and ready to come in. We simply don’t have that and it’s a failing of the manager.
The December performances have been very worrying and I think there is a great risk that Lennon is going to cost us the title.

That’s the secret to success. A midfield trio with two players
There was a breakthrough in the case last week.
A 12-year-old boy has been charged in connection with racist chants against Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos.
Police launched an investigation following allegations of abuse during the Scottish Premiership clash with Celtic on Sunday 29 December.
The boy cannot be identified for legal reasons.
Supt Mark Sutherland said that any form of abuse was “completely unacceptable” and that the force would continue to investigate any further claims.
12 years old and this is the mindset?? Disgusting.
The Glasgow Celtic crew here in full sweep sweep mode over this one.

Charging a 12 year old is fucking ridiculous.
What’s the age of criminal responsibility in Scotland?
Sweep sweep.
Irrelevant. What earthly good is charging an over excited 12 year old going to do anyone.
You need to be called out here. It takes a nasty kind of chap to vilify a 12 year old.

Why is a 12 year old seemingly roaring vile racist abuse at a Glasgow Celtic match? Celtic Park not a place to bringing kids to.
