Checked the flights. Rogic could've gotten to Glasgow at 9am on a rush flight but even then the recovery session imply wouldn't permit him to play.

The flight time wasn't so much the issue. It was the minutes he played along with flight time. Maeda made the bench after from travelling back from Japan. The difference being he played less minutes due to coming off the bench for Japan.

It's good seeing CalMac back so early. Honestly thought he would still be out due to how bad his facial injury looked/looks.

I should have known better as he just can't help himself. He just has to play. 

GET IN THERE!!!!

Wow what a wonderful goal

GET IN!!!!
What a time to find their finishing skills!!!!

Bang bang! 

3-0 jeez

It must be frustrating for Allan McGregor.

Amazing! 

How good is Hatate.  And this bloke doesn't even make the Japanese squad?

Insane atmosphere
Sacked by Christmas they said
unbelievable

He has been absolutely brilliant for us since he arrived. As for him not playing for Japan, I'm glad he wasn't picked for selfish reasons, but would be happy for him if he makes their WC squad. 

After watching Celtic first half against Rangers and compares to our Socceroos.  This is like a world apart. What a pressing football by Ange!! Jota v Leckie is like watching Usain Bolt v Grandpa

Where's his apology?

Maeda vs that Rangers defender looked a bit like when you take the shortest players and tallest players from FIFA and put them all into sperate teams

🤣🤣

That first half was brilliant! What a turnaround from the start of the season and it has continued after the winter break. Top of the league!! 

If Ange can turn these first half performances into second half performances as well Celtic will be unstoppable.  

For me it’s always been Boca river, Belgrade derby and fener gala with this as the worlds pinnacle matches/derbies

FFS. Hatate not even making the bench for the last WCQ.

Well done to Ange and the Bhoys..... No mean feat considering what the expectations where at the start of the season. Still a fair chunk of points to win or loose but this one would have made the green side of Glasgow pretty happy today... 

Absolute scenes in the stadium. What an atmosphere.

How's the Japanese fella's celebration after the second goal?

Hahaha. Quality.

It’s not that much of a surprising result, when they play at that intensity they’re pretty hard to stop, Celtic’s best football is superior to Rangers best from what I’ve seen.

This is far from done though, I still think they can struggle breaking down packed defences at times, when you look at the quality still to come in I see no reason why Ange shouldn’t go on and win this thing, he won’t let them get complacent.

The 2 horse race has become again which is great for the casuals to see.
The build up and finish for the 2nd was peach football, finish superb.
As was the vision running in for the 3rd goal.
Woeful defending for all 3, ball watching but thats how it looks when the other team is on the gas.
Massive derby win.

Ange is impressing me way more with the Hoops, what he inherited and how its going to date after the slow start.
Closing the gap huge.
Rangers defensive issues galore this season.

Nice to see Ange give a shout out to MV for this weekend's FFA cup final in his radio interview 

wow what a performance, might be a killer blow for Rangers how do you come back from that lol

We all though Kyogo was the standout from Japan, but along with Maeda and Ideguchi well Reo Hatate could be the best of the lot.
What a game he played, talk about an impact in the best game in Scotland! Outstanding game from him.

And credit to Ange what a turn around but he knows that is a long way to go, they need to keep it going but he has the players now to play his style.

Seriously who makes this Celtic midfield? Hatate but also O'Reilly was outstanding as well, especially with Rogic and Turnbull to come back in but the tension is good so they have got good options.

This morning 9 Ange recruits started.
Basically a whole new team in just 6 months, very impressive.

Where's the bloke that supports the Rangers? :laugh:
