A very good result in a place people have come to fear for a number of reasons.
First off, team selection, I’m not really sure what Johnny Hayes has on Neil Lennon but someone needs to step in and ensure it can no longer be used. Johnny Hayes is not and will never be good enough to start games for Celtic. He wasn’t terrible but we just do not look even remotely close to creating anything down that side when he’s playing there.
I thought the first half we were very poor, the players looked devoid of ideas and Killie in the first 20 minutes had cut us open a few times. We did have 2 real moments of good play, the first to create the opening for McGregor who somehow managed not to hit the target from flooking 12 yards the 2nd was the goal, good play from Frimpong and then it’s all about Edouard, real high quality finish
2nd half I thought we were excellent at times, there was much more about us and deservedly got the 2nd goal, a good move again and Griffiths getting his 2nd in 2 games. His celebration towards Kris Boyd I’m all for, any bits directed in that Monster Munch kants direction is good for me. Where he has let himself down is TapeGate, now, it’s hardly even going to hit anyone but just sit down and let it blow over. Don’t get involved but he can’t help himself at times.
I thought the Killie goal was actually a decent goal from their perspective, Jozo could maybe have got more on the clearance but I thought he was the best of the back 3 so can’t criticise him too much.
But Julien with another goal to seal the points but the big man was like flooking Bambi all night, was he playing in Ice skates?
The game ended on a sour note with the horrible challenge on Frimpong. Few things really got on my nerves with this. Firstly, Power two footed Callum McGregor in the first half, ref waved play on, Dicker also caught Ntcham at hip height, again play on. It was almost carte Blanche to make any sort of challenge you wish. Of course, the first booking goes to a Celtic player
Kilmarnock fans were a disgrace, cheering a young boy off on a stretcher and chanting the players name who tried to end his season, real classy but not surprising from a bunch of people from Ayrshire.
Final note on Kris Boyd’s attack on Griffiths for missing a lot of games for Celtic. For someone who lost their brother to MH issues and runs a MH charity, he really ought to have known better but the mask slipped again and Celtic shouldn’t let that go unanswered, he was right out of order.
Anyway, onto the next one and you’d think Saturday should be pretty comfortable.

To be fair to timmy, the buff seems like the type of character that might take the huff if he doesn't get the move he wants, when he wants it? Not sure what gives me that impression?

Lennon wanted to take Eddy off to get him some recognition don't mind that
re the Rangers game one of my mates was at it n said he couldnt remember Hladky making a save and at the other end St Mirren never had a shot at goal
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your mate is full of schite.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s not though, i don’t remember us troubling their keeper at all, we tried to walk everyone through a very packed penalty area
Was frustrating as h3ll
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember a couple of saves from their keeper.
We had 5 shots on target by even the BBC's reckoning so that must mean nearly 10.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The big bad Rangers hating BBC
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As opposed to the big bad wife loving BBC your used too watching
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a grammatical shambles of a post that is.

Yeah and rodgers was a die hard fan, blah blah blah.
Modern day footballers dont care about that sort of stuff.
If morelos is given the chance to go to sevilla or stay at rangers its a no brainer. All that will be left is a morelos shaped hole in the dressing room wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely disagree.

Cool but you have to remember the player will be told by his agent this opportunity might not come up again.
It's the excuse Rodgers used to work his ticket but with players its slightly different that a player could get injured or manager moves on etc.

You cant blame players for leaving these days. It's a short career and they are entitled to look after themselves.

it could be that the teams that have been interested aren't wanting to pay him that much more than hes currently on and that's why he isn't appearing in any rush to move on

Simple fact is no one has bid for him for whatever reason. Probably his height
