poor performance. failure to keep the ball is shocking and the lack of pressing high from the front is a joke.

It is pretty awful but they're winning which is the main thing
TBH, both teams were poor, and helsingsborg should really have scored
but well done to celtic, one foot in the big leagues again .....

Celtic had the better chances, scored twice and hit the bar twice - in recent decades that would've been a defeat.
4 away games in Europe unbeaten now.

If that makes you happy, you really should chuck it mate.
That was dire @ best......... We need a new centre half plus a new no 9 ............ & thats just for starters
I also think if thats the BEST our back 4 can do, then I'm sorry , but I'd GETRID off Dolph the waste of space !

Game is 90 minutes, over that period we had the better chances - christ we hit the bar twice - Big Fraser's saves while at the time were important, I'd expect him to save them all night long.

surely getting to the group stage is all that matters not the performance
morton/scotland could play the most boring football ever as long as they won, i couldnt care less about the performance

I'm a Gers fan so wasn't particularly happy
If I was a Cektic fan, I probably couldn't care less about the way they played. Getting through is the main thing
Congratulations to Celtic. Not sure how they managed to win 0-2 but football is a funny game. I can understand why Forster would consider himself to be good enough to play for England - JUST!! - but Hooper is not a good front man 
This was a poor game of football between two teams that will go nowhere in the CL. Apart from the money, why would they even want to enter it?

That's a one sided if statement.
If they could finish but what IF we could defend?
An away win in Europe and unbeaten away in Europe for four games - something I don't think even MON achieved.
Cheer Up!
Not seen the game at all but a 2-0 away win can only be a good thing. Celtic of a few seasons ago wouldn't have won away so looks like the hoodoo has been finally laid to rest. Hopefully they can get into the CL now and try and save our dying co-efficient

Just in time for Rangers to return to the SPL?

We'll see, could be a tad longer...
Good to see us giant killing away at Falkirk today
Wow there's some right hard to please fans on here.
Helsingborg are champions of a country that regularly qualifies for major tournaments so were never going to be mugs. Other than a couple of saves Forster had little to do, we 'could' have scored more Helsingborg 'could' have had couple but by the 2nd half they were pretty spent after doing a lot of closing down in the 1st.
Had that performance been at home then there might have been grounds for complaint but to beat the Swedish champs 2-0 on their own patch is a good result for anybody.
I think some of our fans need to get a realistic, we struggled to 1-1 draw with Ross County a few days ago ffs.

Big Lurch was absolutely fantastic last night and, barring a nightmare in the return leg, just paid back his transfer fee.

I disagree. There is no excuses for not being able to do the basics which is pass and control the damn ball. The lack of posession was criminal and v the better sides in the CL we will get humiliated if the ball is given away so cheaply.
Technically we have to be so much better!!

Of course we do but I've seen better teams than us come to Celtic Park and struggle to hold the ball, it shouldn't be underestimated how hard it is to play away in europe and a result by any means should be applauded.
Like I said, if we play like that at home then I would be the first to criticise but I thought last nights performance whilst not great was perfectly acceptable when taken in context, too many knee jerk reactions in our support imo.
We're never going to be good passing team as long as Scott Brown is a first pick. Running around digging at people then staring at them might be good enough for the SPL but it's not what I consider a footballer. We make players like him Captain and then sell a proper footballer like Ki and people still wonder why we can't play football the way it should be played.
Forster played quite well last night. Certainly best I've seen him play for a long while but again, average opposition and probably at his level.
There's something quite irritating about Gary Hooper too

wonder if theres anyway to tempt Andy Ritchie out of retirement for tonights game against the sheep, think that is our only real chance of winning
