Back then celtic didn't have the fear of losing to anyone so they didn't spend big. Now that win at all costs is back between the OF they will spend to bring in the finished article.

Celtic have just lost that ben doak who looked like he could be a future first team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that they'll have the guaranteed £40m champions league money. To give Celtic some credit, a fully fit Turnbull and Forrest might have started yesterday. That would have been 4 Scots in the starting 11, which I think is as much as we can hope for from the Old Firm. However, with that CL money, Greg Taylor will almost certainly be the first guy to be replaced. Forrest can't have much left in his legs either. It's especially worrying that, as McCaughey85 said, they can't even keep a hold of the best young Scots. So youngsters breaking through may become increasingly rare.

As I said on another post there are a number of reasons for less Scots at Old Firm clubs. They have had Scots lured away to the EPL as in Gilmour, Patterson, Armstrong, Christie and Doak. On top of that they have had young Scottish talent prefer a move to the EPL or further afield in the form of John McGinn and Aaron Hickey. Players are seeing there is another world outside of the Old Firm and they can be a success there instead of stagnating at Ibrox and Parkhead which some of our past players have been guilty of doing.

todd Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 No Tierney tonight, I take it he's injured? Also, according to, the ever reliable Flashscores, Hickey is starting on the right side of midfield tonight 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d then put McTominay in at right so we at least have one forward-carrying central defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noctonjock Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Could Hickey not play in Tierneys position ? Just a thought , he may be inexperienced at international level but looks decent and is fairly tall for a full back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Bra Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Arteta is on the BBC sport website saying Tierney’s injury is ‘not looking good, they’ll know more on Tuesday’ Has anyone seen it confirmed that he’ll be out for the season? Suppose I’m clutching at straws…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Arteta says he will know more on Tuesday whereas shitty tabloid press full of knee specialists who have already scanned and diagnosed his knee say he is out for the season. Hmm who should we believe? Arteta any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 He could easily be out for the season but okay to play for us in June. Tbh missing 3-4 Arsenal games now is a disaster for them so that could be all Arteta means. Let’s chill out till we know and hope he’s okay for June.

Caledonian Craig Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) In any case even if he is out then are our supporters really so defeatist? After all I have listened long enough to people on here saying Wales are a one-man team all about Bale so are we just the same with Tierney? Of course not.
