Hopefully no injuries before the pivotal Young Boys game. 3 points is all that matters but it would be great to win with a bit of style. Don't know if they have a Winter break and may be training with no games. Rank bottom of the league table so hopefully they are as bad as they seem. If we win the game Villa is a free hit with no expectations. January is a difficult month to pick up quality players so don't see much happening.
Good to see you're diversifying into old ladies pastimes with tennis Hamish - watch out though, it'll be lawn bowls next! Great podcast as always though - cheers.
Good one Gary. HH. Now try maybe fifteeen minutes opposite a good tennis player; even an 'old lady' if you like. Nobody to pass to. No time to take a five second breather mid-rally. Prospect of getting absolutely not a singe point, and frequently not even getting a touch of racket on the ball. True words indeed re "Good podcast as always" however. Cheers! And Go Hamish!
Brendan on Yang, 'He's an enthusiastic lad. He runs about a lot. Every day I see him at training running about a lot. He...er...works really hard on his English. And never stops running about a lot. You'll always get that effort, running about a lot. Is he the future? He puts in tremendous effort, runs about a lot'.
I think that work rate is why Rodgers hasn't totally binned him in the same way he has very quickly binned so many others. In my heart of hearts, I don't think Yang is good enough but there's just that wee niggling thought that if he could maybe just get a goal or something to give him a bit of extra belief.... He might still put it all together and become a very good player for us. Put it this way - Yang in January 2025 looks better than Kuhn did in January 2024
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.Whilst he's been looking a bit better he's played 36 games and has 1 goal and 3 assists. Khun has played 31 games and has 11 goals and 8 assists. Lous palma who most don't rate and want rid of has played 35 games has 7 goals and 9 assists. Yangs numbers are not great and tbh he's not good enough but between him and palma if he can get the form back he had last season I'd play him before yang everyday, palma has shown he's got something with yang we've yet to see anything really.
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. Nice perspective at the end there. If some fans were Celtic manager, we'd have an unsustainable & unrealistic amount of player turnover. Nae patience & little knowledge 😂
“Played 36 games” is a bit of a stretch when some of those appearances have been wee 10-15 min cameos at the end of games. The way you’ve phrased it, would suggest he’s played 36x90 mins.
Let me tell you Mason Melia is unreal. Probably the best prospect in Irish football in a decade or more. Major coup IF we got him. Melia is pronounced. MEAL-YA
Not a chance Engels gets dropped for tonight. Been our best player these past few games
"OOOOHHH Tennis!!"

Melia is a top top talent. As an Irishman genuinely hope he doesn’t come to us as he will most likely be sent to the B team and his career ruined.

He's from the same village as me, Ashford. Same county as Liam Scales. County Wicklow. Liam is from Barndarrig. 10 minutes apart.
He very much is a striker not sure what your on about
He's defo a striker 😅
Better than Federer? Come on Hamish.
Good Morning Hamish 👍

@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. doesn't change the fact he's still not celtic quality same as idah both not good enough.
Best sporting event of the year in aus the aus open, off on Friday for day session 😃
Not your best choice of words there Hamish..."then we're into Young Boys." 😱😀
I can see CCV getting rested. Scales n Trusty tonite.
Hope not trusty
Wouldn’t start Khun
Bring him on for the last 30mins gives him game time before ucl game
If Brendan started speaking about which players he wanted in it would be disrespectful to the players already in that position.
Melia is pronounced Mee-lee-ah
Tough game...2.1...☘️

Meal-ey-ah
If we keep all our players I'd be ok with not signing anyone until the summer
Barry would more likely be a back up to Maeda
Tennis 🎾 cheese baguette hhooooòo
Oops!
Louie Barry is a left winger.
