‘Celtic are finished’ ‘I’m mortified’ ‘turned Celtic Park into a circus’ Disco Lights statement doesn’t please Celtic fans

With Celtic languishing in mid-table in the SPFL- behind Motherwell and Dundee United amongst others- someone within the club has been tasked with drumming up interest in Thursday’s Premier Sports Cup tie against Raith Rovers.

For whatever reason the key attraction will be the disco lights installed during the summer of 2018 just as the success built by Brendan Rodgers started to unravel.

Rather than strike a deal with Hibs for John McGinn the grandson of a former Celtic chairman left for Aston Villa. Free agent Youssouf Mulumbu was brought in followed by Andrew Gutman, Manny Perez, Vakoun Bayo and Marian Shved in the January transfer window. Rodgers left before the end of February.

At the time the disco lights were promoted as another exciting feature for those big Champions League nights at Celtic Park. Since losing to AEK Athens it has been four seasons of Thursday night Europa League football under the lights.

Goodwill to Ange Postecoglou remains strong but the feel-good factor created by his appointment and a new CEO has been eroded over the last few weeks.

The reality of the squad left Postecoglou with three empty seats on the substitute bench last week away to Real Betis, losing at Livingston suggested that nothing has really moved on with 7,000 fans badly let-down in the first away day for 18 months.
