You know, I remember years gone by we'd have Champions League group stage campaigns, Europa League group stage campaigns, we wouldn't do too well and the last game or two would be a bit of a procession, you know, but it was always, you know, the final couple games that I push, maybe even just the last game, bit of a dead rubber This time it's the remaining five.

What else is there to say about the start of this season? Tonight is another free hit for a side visiting Celtic Park from the continent, because that's all we are now.

Michael Nicholson and the rest could may as well just welcome all challengers if they fancy free points.

That's what we are now, the European whipping boys, and I said it last week, and I, you know, beating Hart 7-1 was great.

I said there's no point in getting carried away because we keep doing this up and down, up and down, extreme high to extreme low and you know what, tonight doesn't even feel like an extreme low because I just expect it's the apathy again, that same word, apathy and I've just arrived at the point where everything is just so uninspiring, like from the level of, from the performance levels to the situation we find ourselves in just circumstantially about our season, but when you look at the 11 that finished the game for Celtic tonight, the 11 players on the pitch, what are we doing here? We have just arrived at a point where I ask what is the point? It's where we are and there's no point in shouting and screaming about it anymore because I've got to accept this till at the very least January but I've probably got to accept it for the remainder of the season.

and potentially just moving forward, and it doesn't seem like we're getting through to them, so hi-ho.

But Celtic looked like a team who just shat the bed again tonight, European football is not for us, we are miles off it, and I spoke to so many people about this game tonight after the 7-1 at the weekend and I said, yeah, absolutely, we're all within our rights and I agreed to the extent that I felt a little more confident But how could I have went into this game expecting, and I said it on the Cynic, I said it on the pre-match stream, I said it on the channel itself, I fully expected Celtic to lose.

I wasn't putting on a fake performance pretending we'd win tonight, right? I wasn't ever dreaming of it, because how could I? When I watched Ferencvaros, you know, a month ago turn up, not get out of first gear and beat Celtic convincingly.

Now tonight, for a while we put up a bit more of a fight than we did against Ferencvaros, generally speaking, another team has turned up, didn't have to get out of second gear, we make the same mistakes we make in every single European game and we lose and we sit with zero points.

I've not, do you know what, I've actually not checked, how are we sitting after tonight? It's one thing I've not even wanted to check and we bottom yet, second bottom, the only team below us in the competition is Arad Armenia, That's Celtic ladies and gentlemen, that's Celtic second bottom, the same Celtic that are punting 60th anniversary merch for when we won the European Cup, the same Celtic wheeling out Henrik Larsson who took us to a Europa League final not even 25 years ago, the same Celtic who at any opportunity will ask for your fucking money for all these things, but yet the only team worse than us in the competition are Arat Armenia.

it's where we are now, the season, you know, we'll go on and win the league, maybe, maybe by the way, no guarantees around that, it's the, I seen someone word it on Twitter earlier, as before I came on to record this video, and I thought it was absolutely perfect, it's the bare minimum economy that we live in, bare minimum economy, that is Celtic, tried and tested, through and through, and that's why where we are tonight.

I don't even want to talk about the football, I'm so depressed with this club at this level, every single time I feel like I come home from one of these games, my da who isn't there asks the same question, well how was that? I don't even want to talk about it because it's utterly depressing, just set up for failure and that's what we get.

Change whilst also showing the utmost respect for the legend that is Martyn O'Neill before the international break.

I said we cannot come out the other side of the international break with the same coaches in place, with the same...
