Yes, we were never getting a result after the second goal went in. And the 3-0 when it’s looked at in the history books will suggest a pumping. But I thought there was a lot to be encouraged about today especially clearly in the first half.
any game at parkhead is a bit of a free hit these days given their wealth. The gap has never been bigger between the top team and the rest of us.
We looked dangerous, passed the ball well, and most importantly as far as I’m concerned had a go. We’ll finish third.

I agree and right before the 3rd goal we were really unlucky not to make it 2-1.

I think at times we threatened them in the first half. But we ultimately couldn't compete with them in midfield. We also switched off for their first two goals which you just can't do through there. This game won't define our season.

Finishing 3rd is fantasy stuff, realistically hoping to improve on last season but if we’re honest we’re still we’ll behind Aberdeen as is seen almost every time we play and lose to them.

i think to suggest we only need to improve on last seasons 7th place finish (a season that was ruined by three months of heckingbottom) is very pessimistic

I don't think Aberdeen are streaks ahead of us either, we should hopefully be challenging them all the way. They're probably marginally better but I don't think there's a great deal in it - we don't have a huge amount of depth though.Mon the Hibs.

How on earth is it fantasy?
We are nowhere near miles behind them either. Be a bit more optimistic for crying out loud.
I do think the Semi Final against the Gunts is pivotal for the season and we really, really need to win it. Everything imo should from now build to that game and the shape we play them.

Individual errors were our real undoing today.
We lost an early goal, competed very well in the 1st half after that. Got the run around a bit in the 2nd half but tried to hang in there. Was annoying to lose the 3rd just after a half decent spell.
We will play worse than that this season and win. In fact we already have at least once.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I liked a lot of what i saw in the first half - second half, not so much. On another day, with more composure in front of goal, we’d have taken a lead into half time and who knows how the game would go from there?

Our season will not be defined by results in Glasgow, games at home and everywhere else, yes. Expected nothing from the game so wasn't shocked by the result. Park it and move onto the next one.

As others have said not a defining game but disappointed we had no shots on target
( 2 blocked and 7 off target)
Barkas never had a save to make,
Worrying nonetheless

The Celtic defence can be got at as has been proved in Europe so not invincible
The thread title is ‘Not Disgraced’ I would say not even testing the goalkeeper or forcing him into a save is not good
I am sure Jack Ross would agree with me

After taking two off the invincible The Rangers I expected us to at least score but those that are happy with no shots on target at Darkheid carry on I was probably expecting too much
We move on to Friday

I also expected us to score and put a bet on us to win.

I've seen us play a lot, lot worse there Billy and I don't think there's much to be worried about after today tbh.
We lost 3-0 to them in 2000 top of the table and didn't lay a glove too. We also lost I think 6-0 over Christmas time a couple of years later. To put into perspective they played very well also.

That was the phrase I was looking for today “ didn’t lay a glove”
You are correct we will probably play like that and win but we must have shots on target though
Need to draw a line under today and move on to Friday
Their ball retention second half today was very good

That ironically was my first visit there again we didn't play bad they just turned up against a side top of the table and put in a performance of the best side in the league should have.
You missed a master class 5 years later mind when we finally pumped them the game before that 3-1 game we played even better and sure lost. Somehow.

Totally agree with the post. We'll be judged on the other games, not the Celtic games.

We were nowhere near as bad as some of the reaction on social media, and indeed on here, suggests.
I'm no happy clapper, far from it when crticism is merited. However we were well in the game in the 1st half today and I liked a lot of what I saw. 2nd half was largely disappointing but Celtic were well into their stride and cruising by that point.
I don't have the mentality of 'oh it's Celtic so we should just aceept losing'. Equally though I am realistic enough to know we aren't going to stroll into Celtic Park and dominate possession.

With respect to the shots on target argument, i think it’s a bit mis-leading as we had a couple great chances where the strikers would usually trouble the goalie. Making a fuss about the no shots on target makes it seem like we didn’t trouble Celtic at all, and that’s really not the case.
