When Celtic lose a game, the reaction can be quite over bearing, especially on social media. There is then the other side of the spectrum where people are underplaying a defeat, passing it off as bad day at the office. There is a middle ground to be occupied and Ange Postecoglou said as much on Sunday.
The Celtic manager was clear they don’t write off any game – win or lose. It’s the correct way to look at things.
38 games unbeaten domestically doesn’t happen by accident and a defeat against St Mirren presents the Celtic manager with questions about his approach and the players at his disposal.
Celtic had a top start to the season before Paisley brought us to a creeping holt. There was a belief we had the squad to cope with 6 changes without skipping a beat, for now, that idea is out the window.
The debate at the beginning of the season was who should be partnering Cameron Carter-Vickers in the heart of defence. Moritz Jenz came in and played straight away due to Carl’s original injury and did well. Without CCV by his side on Sunday, the defender looked half the player.
Moritz can be valuable for Celtic this season, but as our THIRD centre-back choice behind Carl and CCV. The Swede and the American have the positions locked when they’re both fit. There can be no debate over that after Sunday. The pairing that brought us 38 games unbeaten weren’t in Paisley on Sunday and it showed.
