Celtic Costly changes

-

The word for our home form is frustratin­g. There is a consistenc­y in our inconsiste­ncy. Of the five home games in which we dropped points, four were before or after a European tie and all have featured changes made to the starting 11 and the formation. Also, four have been when Scott Brown hasn’t played.

After our brilliant performanc­e against Zenit which has resulted in taking a goal and a clean sheet to Russia, our manager made seven changes. It should come as no surprise then that we never got going. This wasn’t helped by the constant petty fouling that went unpunished until late in the game.

That’s not an excuse. We’ve struggled for balance this season between rest and results. This is a massive week for the club.
