They should turn them on during the matches to keep the hordes awake Davie.

Ah, the old Celtic way nonsense.
Unless you are Pep’s Barca team, you simply cannot play that way both domestically and in Europe, their European record compared to ours proves that.
We have over the years managed to go away and get results because we adjust our style against better opponents, whereas they still try to play the same and wonder why they have such a poor record.

I bumped into an old colleague (supports them) last night when out for a meal. He told me he was at the game. I asked him how the game was.....IT WAS SHITE! was his answer. A rotten game that he was just glad to win.
This Ange claptrap is not all it seems but be prepared for the wankfest after we gave him a free run at his 1st trophy.

I hate Celtic but I'll give them this - no one polishes a turd quite like them. It's actually sensational. They can get papped out Europe with a game to spare and still somehow spin it so they had a better campaign than us, who are qualified with a game to spare.

If there is one thing you can say about celtic is that their PR department works hard. Employing shrewd moves, dirty tricks and feeding out propaganda, supported by other tims in the media.
Every time there is a negative story about them you can bet there will be a made up negative story about Rangers the next day. Remember their fans causing trouble in the stands, then all of a sudden a story appears where a “Rangers fan” who was in the Dundee end got hit with a missile outside the ground. Total made up BS.
Now that Rangers are playing some nice football under GVB with a view to playing a dutch total football style, the same week celtic go crashing into the UEFA johnstones paint trophy, the wee pr guy at celtic has manipulated some statistics to shoot them ahead of Europes elite by this one metric that means nothing.
I mean nobody with half a brain will believe it but thats not exactly their target audience.

We should be encouraging this. The better they think they are the less chance they spend more in January. My fear in Ange looks like he might spot a decent player. Best he doesn’t get the money. Complacency in their ranks is a good thing.
Typical of modern day Scotland. Give ourselves praise and qiluities we actually haven’t earned.

When they aren’t winning more points or scoring more goals than the opposition, they look for less important stats whilst ignoring the main ones, the ones that really count

Celtic are leading the way.
Most ball circulation and they're also running away with the Number Of Separate Sex Offenders At One Club stat too.
How will we cope?

Ah but the pressure is now on to keep the top spot.
They will be going out their way to make more pointless passes to maintain the mantle.
Its a long way down from the top.

How many of these pointless stats have they owned over recent years
Losing games without conceding a shot on target
”Dominated” first 21 minutes, never had another attempt on goal and still lost
5th highest goals scored in Europa league, but also most conceded and out on your arse shield
Quite a few of these collected now

If I'm reading this right it's attempted passes rather than completed passes?
The CIES Football Observatory collated data on the number of passes attempted per match and their average length for teams from 40 leagues worldwide.
So you could be passing these out the park and getting praise for it.

They given up on that?

Are we not tracked as we sometimes pass a bit to much in build up play according to some on here. But it works according to the standings.
Mate literally since the weekend we over took them on it I've not seen it talked about once, that was about a month ago. It used to get slung about after every match when they were at the top of it. Really are world class at clutching at straws

What is this obsession to make him seem great? They are second in the league and lucky to be in touching distance because we have fell off of form and dropped 6pts at home that should never have been dropped. Essentially they should be sitting 10pts behind us just now.
I wonder if they broke it down what percentage of that passing would be between their back 4 and keeper. I would say about 65% is.
Did we not have the same stat under Warburton at one point?

You would need an Observatory to see some of Duffy’s passes last season.
