The goals flowed on the back of terrible defensive errors at both ends.

On the podcast, we will get into whether that is down to the system or the individuals.

Celtic has not faced this level of pressing in ANY game this season. David Martindale out-Gasperini’d Gasperini.

As he added more basketball players in the second half, the basketball nature of the contest heightened.

But it is oversimplistic to say that was the nature of the 90-minute contest. There WAS control, for periods.

What is clear is that some players are clearly warming to their roles - the round pegs. On the pod, we’ll also get into the square ones.

The Bhoy of the Match echoes that sentiment, and it was pleasing that there were several candidates. Again, happy to debate and won’t be falling out over it.

Much work still to be done. Remember, it took a pre-season and two months for “Angeball” to start to click. I appreciate that some do not want to know this.
