There is nothing magnificent about Celtic’s new Champions League record-equalling run of seven straight home defeats in a row. RB Leipzig became the latest team to pitch up at Parkhead and trample all over the Hoops on home soil. Ange Postecoglou insists his bold tactics won’t change, but as far as the Hotline is concerned neither will the results.
Chris Lowe, Yoker, said: “Congratulations to Celtic on joining Monaco in becoming the only team in Champions League history to have lost seven home games in a row. It just goes to show you that they can’t compete without their pet officials who have been instrumental in them winning in Scotland for the last decade.”
Jimmy Murray, Edinburgh, added: “When is the penny going to drop at Parkhead that you can't play at the top level without proper coaches. Celtic have a guy who sits in the dugout with a laptop and another who has had a shot at every job going at the club and failed them all.”
Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “If Celtic ever need a song for when they put on their disco lights they should go for the Earth, Wind and Fire classic ‘September.’ Realistically that’s when their ambitions of mixing it with the European big boys is over by.”
Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, emailed in: “Celtic are at rock bottom after another defeat in the Champions League after the Germans left big Ange Postecoglou and his players as Leip-sick as parrots. If I was big Ange, I would pack my bags and head to the nearest airport.”
Daizen Maeda looks to be the Parkhead fall guy after passing up a series of big chances. Sean Crossey, Belfast, called to say: “When is Ange going to park the bus with this guy Maeda? He is hopeless! Very poor decision to play him before the young Argentinian lad
