They are losing the league to a team with a fraction of their budget and who are rank outsiders. It's a massive embarrassment for them if they don't catch us. Both would be far happier losing the league to one another.

That’s spot on. Neither can fathom the title going outside of Glasgow and tbh I am happy for them to keep writing us off as a title contender.

Neither of them care about us. It’s all about how their result compares to the other. We just need to keep ticking off games.

He’s been a free agent since last summer, that’s Barrie McKay levels of sitting on your hoop doing nothing!

Cheltic and their fans will try and spin a narrative of him choosing them ahead of other options, but the facts remain that he’s been without a club since last summer and has rocked up here to collect a wage.

File under Roy Keane, Freddie Ljundberg, Ian Wright, Dion Dublin etc. etc.

And given his fondness for an injury, it’ll be nice for Iheanacho to have someone to hang about the physio room with.

Oxelade chamberlain has been a really good player at points in his career, injuries has totally fucked him for top level football though. There was a season with liverpool where he was used mostly as a sub and he was good in that role.

Best thing for us would be for him to get injured asap as reckon like we seen last night he'll probably no have much bother contributing against teams like livi/killi etc.

That's all well and good but he has just tucked away a last minute winner to get them out of a hole like it was nothing   he's a good player, no point denying it. We just need to worry about ourselves.

Aye, it strikes me as a bit of a cope [/scottlingo] to be talking about how shite / what a bad signing he is when he's literally just won Celtic a game last night.

He's scored in a cameo appearance against livingston who were set up in their own six yard box, we'll see how good he is, starting with a resurgent Killie at rugby park on Sunday, if he gets on the pitch that is.

I'm not saying he isn't capable, I'm saying that he's got no scope of playing in a real title race.

He was in a title race with Southampton when he was younger. Missed out on the league by 3 pts so good chance he has the exact experience needed for this season


That’s what got him his move to arsenal.

I think he'll be good for them. They really needed to focus on bringing in defenders, though. Their centre halves are pony and Tierney seems to struggle to play 90 minutes, these days.

I think he'll be shite honestly, when it comes to real games of football I reckon he'll get run over the top of.

So he's been in a three titles races in his career? He's also been in a champions league race.

Anyway, the guy seems to have a good attitude, he’s 32 and will do fine. If the bare minimum is him coming on and scores goals in cameos then that’s no bad thing for them is it.

We just need to worry about ourselves and not be cringelords about it.

Personally hope his knee explodes on that Rugby Park pitch but that's just me.

32, not played a game in ages, comes on, scores and wins them the game.
If he'd signed for us we'd have him on a "mini pre-season"

He’s been full time training with the Arsenal first team for months and only came on as a sub against Livi for the last 10 minutes, but you get out there and make it all about Hearts somehow

Always check your sources. Schwolow captained Freiburg to the Bundesliga title in his world.

That’s a relief, we don’t need to worry about him winning Celtic any points then!

I’d settle for a few long term Cheltic injuries on that pitch.

Please show me where I said that?

You didn’t specify about what title fight these players were in, you stated that none of our squad had ever been in a title fight, I pointed out your error and now you’re going round the board trying to make it a thing.

I was going to say that I expected better from you, but given your form recently, particularly trying to make “cop” a thing I don’t.
