Was the Sam Johnstone call the least of Celtic’s problems? The panel go in on Celtic after the 3-0 Old Firm defeat to Rangers – no longer a possession team against good sides, a back line that’s “murder”, and a board that “banked the £12.5m and told the fans shut it, we’ll do it our way”. They warn it’ll be exposed again in the Europa League.

Sam Johnstone. I thought it was a big call. We didn’t think he should have played him. He’s he’s put himself in a position now, by the way, Martin, with that with that with that call.
Absolutely. I was at Perth. I looked at Tounekti. He he beats a man and then he can’t. There’s no end product. There’s no end product with them at all. And sometimes when he comes in, he’s a chance to shoot. He doesn’t opt for it. So you you had to look at the team and you say to yourself, are they a possession team?
Couldn’t get the ball out the back. Couldn’t couldn’t take a high press. And remember by way Rangers tried a high press against Motherwell passed through them. So they couldn’t they couldn’t get high press, couldn’t get a grip of the midfield, couldn’t change the tactics when they realize Rangers are in overload in the middle of the park.
And the other thing that killed them stone dead, which is something which will happen in the Europa League coming up is their backline is murder and they had a full summer to go and spend it on players. But what have they done? They’ve banked the 12 and a half million pounds and they’ve told the fans, “Shut it. We’ll do it our way.”
And that’s your result. When they come up against good teams, they get battered and they got their just rewards there. Uh they’re just desserts against Rangers because they get battered because they’ve got an inept back line and they’re playing players out of position and the midfield is no longer a possession based midfield.
It’s it’s that’s that that’s the reality. And by the way, it could flip at home. They could go and and beat Rangers on Sunday, but they’re going to get caught out with with good teams. Yeah. No, that’s interesting because the thing is I’m thinking to myself, what do they do?
