Couldn't believe Telfer's decision to pass the ball blindly into his own area today. People go way over the top sometimes with Telfer, but he deserves all the stick he's going to get for such a basic defensive error.

Noone impressed me today though in that Celtic team (apart from Boruc) and a draw was a fair result. Looks like Pressley may prove to be a shrewd acquisition after all judging by the shambles at the back today.

Centre midfield is the problem.Please replace Lennon with a mobile ball winning player.Out played in centre not for the 1st time this season.Telfer should never have worn a Celtic jersey,what about his header across own area minutes before goal?Strachan seems tactically clueless.If as he claims he knows the problem why cant he fix it?

Another measured post from the gaffer.

Agree that Riordan should get a run alongside JVOH, when he's fit.

Glad I'm not the only Celt frustrated by the lack of menace and threat from the Miller/Jarosik - Zurawski partnership up front...

I really wanted Miller to do well when he came, and thought he would make a good signing. But, as a striker, his return rate of goals is awful. And his passing and first touch seem to become worse every week. Maybe a wee rest?

We didnt get bullied today??I must have watched the wrong game.Please get over the Lennon myth.He no longer is the player of legend.Our centre midfield has been dominated most of season.Our gap between mid and forwards is huge leaving too much room for opposition to operate.

We are trying to play to carefully. We are not taking enough risks when attacking.How can GS say Riordan has to wait before he breaks into the first team because of the competition.What competition ? Look at the SPL's top goalscores list; its emabarressing for a team so far ahead.Get Stokes that could be the key

I agree with the comments about Riordan, probably needs an extended run in the team ahead of Zurawski or Miller. I think Sno could do the Lennon role in midfield but also needs the games. Pressley looks like a good acquisition for the SPL, but what about the Champs League? Better hope Caldwell comes back. Still Boruc looked class.

Strachan seems to believe the only way is forward. He's right and is playing the Celtic way. In his 'defence' injuries to key defenders have been the cause of Celtic's porousness in the goals against area. Once Cauldwell is back the achilles' heel syndrome will have been cured and normal service resumed. We must all be optimistic looking at both Riordan and Beattie. Along with the hardest working footballer I've seen in a long time, Kenny Miller, Celtic's and Scotland's future looks pretty good.
Don't despair Bhoys, Gordon's only been with us a short time, the league's in the cabinet and the new team will provide the perfect tonic!

Without a doubt one of our worst displays this season......can someone please tell me what in gods name was Telfer doing in the last minute??, just Hoof the thing FFSdoh, too many players are well below par at the moment but our defence today was shocking, I'm starting to come round to the idea of Pressley playing, thats how poor they were.
Likewise Miller and Zurawski have been completly shocking.

The only bright spot is the trumpets below us are even worsewinkeye
