That’s a Rangers captain right there btw.Ryan Jack's reaction is worth a watch.
Our plan seemed to be that Arfield and Diallo would track back and help Tav and Aribo would help Barasic - incredible. We were previously well coached. Those days have goneWe know Celtic play down the wings and try to get 1v1s and we should have had a tactical plan to stop this, it looked as if the players didn’t know what they were doing out of possession and there was no control. Under the previous management we would have had a degree of control and made the opposition play where we wanted them to play.
Diallo was running inside to cover Taylor’s run which left Tav 1v1 as one of their midfielders had shifted out so Arfield was picking him up. I’m not a tactical genius, however there must have been a better way to control the situation. It was the exact same on the opposite flank where Barisic was left 1v1 and was constantly backtracking into the penalty box.Our plan seemed to be that Arfield and Diallo would track back and help Tav and Aribo would help Barasic - incredible.

Outwith the back four we played with one person (Kamara) who has defensive qualities. We knew what they were going to day yet played 5 players whose only strengths are to attack.

I think we did play better in the 2nd half - the 3 subs had a positive impact on the team. You are correct that at 3 - 0 up they didnt need to press the same though.Second half was better because Celtic didnt need anything second half. FFS
Very good point, they say Gio is a pragmatic manager, however a pragmatic manger would have played Aribo on the right wing and brought in another defensive midfielder for control, especially in the first half. Jack should have started.Outwith the back four we played with one person (Kamara) who has defensive qualities.

Disagree Aribo n Arfield both very capable of defensive duties mateOutwith the back four we played with one person (Kamara) who has defensive qualities. We knew what they were going to day yet played 5 players whose only strengths are to attack. Pathetic selection/tactics
That annoyed the fuk right outta me. Man with fractured cheek, booked after 20 mins, was able to go 75 mins without anybody testing his mask or resolve. Utterly shameful & ridiculous.Celtic could’ve played without a GK and Calum McGregor could’ve played without a mask as we never close close or attempted to lay a glove on him.
Rattling right through him should’ve happened in the first 2mins to see if he was really fit and up for it. The cünt had a walk in the park!
Yes, he said that he could only expect 45 mins from Jack. Well, why not give him the 45 mins when they are throwing everything at us. If he had a proper gameplan it would have been to see out the first half onslaught then have a bit of a go later in the game when they tired.Very good point, they say Gio is a pragmatic manager, however a pragmatic manger would have played Aribo on the right wing and brought in another defensive midfielder for control, especially in the first half.

Those were my thoughts before the match. Take the sting out of it and then play expansive football in the second half when the space was available.Yes, he said that he could only expect 45 mins from Jack.

This is not in hindsight, we all knew what the first 45 mins would be like. If Jack tired in the second have then bring on Sands
Ideally aye but as Gio said Jack could only last 45 mins max.Very good point, they say Gio is a pragmatic manager, however a pragmatic manger would have played Aribo on the right wing and brought in another defensive midfielder for control, especially in the first half. Jack should have started.
Massive overreaction? We have just been absolutely embarrassed by a total mediocre team and he has caused it. Head out the sand fsHes not wrong in what he says here massive over reaction to this interview however he needs to sort his tactics out sooner rather than later or he won't be here much longer.

Exactly, where the hell was our captain!Interesting that Ryan Jack comes out to speak. I take a small amount of comfort that Jack will take how he feels into our changing room and have a positive influence. Perhaps my anger/disappointment at tonight but I want to hear from some of the players who let the club and supporters down explain what they are going to do about it.
I said to this interview not in relating to the score of the game or that shocking performance but what did he say in this post match interview that was wrong?Massive overreaction? We have just been absolutely embarrassed by a total mediocre team and he has caused it. Head out the sand fs
Uninspiring predictable waffle.
Nah not for me the captain should have been dragged out to explain the shambles he and his players just played,he’s got history with this carry on hiding away in the changing room ..pathetic.Interesting that Ryan Jack comes out to speak.

I would always expect us to win these 2 games, mainly because we are at home, albeit not comfortably the way we are playing. Dortmund away then Dundee United away will be fraught affairs though...The next 2 games and our levels of performance and organisation in them will tell us a lot about how this season will go for us.
We didn’t beat Hearts at Ibrox last time and they are in good form.I would always expect us to win these 2 games, mainly because we are at home, albeit not comfortably the way we are playing. Dortmund away then Dundee United away will be fraught affairs though...
