We've had a few decent games against Celtic in the past, recently they tend to have us off and last night continued that trend! With 2/3 quick players, they exposed our defensive cover a number of times. John was in goal this week, covering the sticks for the first time and he made a number of good saves. Unfortunately for us, he had busted his little finger like 10 minutes before our game, so if they happened to wack the ball on his leftside, more often then not he was unable to keep it out.
So that coupled with our marking & their speed, meant they scored a number of frustrating goals. I think general fitness played a part too, our movement off the ball wasn't too good and as I said before, tracking was a bit off but it was obvious their players would try and burn through, so it's a shame we didn't cover each other a bit more.
We have a big game vs Old Swan next week anyway so hopefully we can pick things up and bag another 3 points! It's worth each of us saying a small prayer to speed up Graemes return as well ;P
Goals: Craig (2), David (1), Rob (1), Ste (2), Stimo (1)
Team: Craig, David, Burke, John, Rob, Ste, Stimo
