Jamie Walker 'offered' a 2 game ban for his dive on Sunday.
His still claiming there was contact which is insulting.

He's dug himself into a bit of a hole.

If he turns down the offer it'll be interesting to see how it ends up.

Rogic has signed a new 3 year contract with Celtic.

Hopefully he can get a bit fitter and become a first choice midfielder. He has great skill and vision.

Magnificent news, had a great season last season. I thought he was being frozen out because he wasn't signing a new contract and thought we'd lose him. Absolutley over the moon at this news.

He should definitely be starting ahead of McGregor and Armstrong. Bitton, Brown and Rogic should be our midfield, we lose a bit of mobility and energy but gain passing ability, skill and more a goal threat. Think Bitton and Rogic got 18 between them last season, doubt McGregor and Armstrong would manage that.

Rogic and Bitton add good height to the team too.

Great wins for Alloa, Dundee Utd and Morton tonight beating higher division teams.

There will be at least 4 lower division sides in the quarter finals this season.

Was the penalties after 90 minutes just for the group stage or for the whole tournament?

Delighted to see Cammy Smith score a hat-trick for United against Partick.

A season of regular football will do him good and hopefully be ready for a starting place when he returns to us.

I asked the person next to me at ibrox and he said he thinks that was just for the groups

Rogic just needs to improve his stamina. Interesting to see what he said about Rodgers and that was the main reason for staying.

I quite like the idea of straight to penalties myself. Enjoyed it in the groups

Same here.

In a cup where there are no replays it is a bit of a leveller for the part time sides playing full time teams.

James Forrest signs a new 3 year contract at Celtic.

Does anyone know if he has changed agent?

He looked an absolute cert to be leaving not that long ago.

Rodgers sees something in him but really not convinced.

Reckon Johansen will be sold. His contract is up at end of season. Hopefully Ambrose will follow.

Forrest good player on a given day, but doesn't show it enough. Maybe Rodgers can get best out of him.

Darnell Fisher sold to Rotherham.

He was never going to make it at Celtic so for the best that he has left.

Is Lubo there to do the draw after the game?

Remember how the draw went last time he was involved.

Ruthless from Celtic. Sinclair is going to be a star in Scotland. Quite a few sides are going to get hammered by Celtic this year.

Great performance from a Celtic side missing quite a few first picks.

Motherwell just weren't at the races tonight.

Brilliant stuff, 5-0 going on 10. Thats without Sviatchenko, Toure, Tierney, Roberts and Griffiths as well.

Teams are going to get battered to **** at Celtic Park this season.

A bid for Josh Magennis from Charlton has been accepted by Killie.

Walker appeal turned down for his dive on Sunday.

2 Airdrie fans who attacked Rab Douglas at Station Park sent to prison for 3 months.

If a player dives because they honestly think that they are about to be hurt, but the defender doesn't touch them and doesn't make a challenge, they should admit to the ref what happened.

Not accept the penalty and then moan when you get a 2 game ban.

Dorus de vries signing for Celtic from Forest?

Will be #1? I think Gordon's lack of distribution skills are a problem for him in a BR team. He cant pass the ball at all and as everything starts from the back wouldn't be shocked if his replaced with someone with better ball distribution.

Rumour has Joe Garner of Preston signing for us today.

97 goals in 297 games. So good (1 in 3) scoring record. Does have a temper though. 12 yellows and one red last season.

5'10, good in the air and physically strong.

I think he has to be the number 1 if he signs.

Gordon was a revelation to begin with but over time he has started to make more and more mistake and his decision making is questionable.

It would leave us top heavy with keepers though.
