You always know when Celtic lose heavily on any game the scatter gun comes out and everyone cops it. The manager, the board, the defensive coach John Kennedy (for the avoidance of doubt, I KNOW he is not a defensive coach), but you get the point.

And with such heavy losses, comes hysterical criticism.

And to be honest, most criticism from the calm and measured sections of our fanbase has been relatively constructive.

Time. Investment. At least two transfer windows has been the majority of the talk amongst most reasonable fans but funnily enough, these reasonable fans rarely make it onto radio phone ins or fan opinion pieces like The Hotline in the Daily Record.

These programs and platforms seem to attract the emotional and frantic section of the footballing community.

Either that or they ignore the rational fan because, well, rationality and well thought out opinions don’t get people to read or listen do they? Or am I just being cynical?

However, one fan called the Hotline and made an outrageous claim about Ange Postecoglou effectively ruining Celtic starlet David Turnbull’s career, “Ange is the new Lennon. A yes man, tactically clueless, blames the media for his faults. His game plan may work in the Australian league or on a Subbuteo board but there is no one here who has a clue what he is trying to achieve. Especially the players.

“He is on the verge of ruining David Turnbull’s career.”

Yeah. Ok. But nothing was said was Turnbull ran riot less than a month ago scoring his first evert hat trick? And NOW his career is being ruined? Sound.

Here comes the return of the ‘defensive coach’ (yes, don’t get me started) as one fan shows his knowledge of the backroom set up is as good as my knowledge of quantum mechanics, “The board and so-called defence coaches John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan have now seen the demise of another manager.

“Joe Hart must be astonished by the shambolic coaching within the club. Surely the Celtic support won’t accept this much longer as the club, one of the biggest in the world, is now in freefall.”

Since when was Gavin Strachan EVER a defensive coach? Having said that, when was Kennedy?

And I’ll leave the best for last. Step up Neil Renton from Edinburgh and I genuinely hope this was said with his tongue firmly in his cheek, “After yet another embarrassing night for Scottish clubs, maybe it’s about time we stopped playing in Europe.

“Teams must be rubbing their hands in glee when they get drawn against an SPFL outfit.

“We should bring back the Tennent’s Sixes which is our level.”

Yeah. Ok. Cool heads and calm minds are required here. Especially a sense of perspective. Where did the Celtic fans think this rebuild was heading?

Plus I thought the majority of us had written this season off? Not so it seems!
