It would appear that not many people at Celtic are happy with this seasons pre-season tour. Thompson, Petrov and even Strachan have said less then positive things about Celtics pre-season.
A tour of Poland - two games, USA - three games, home games against Man Utd and Everton , then the SPL season starts but then its off to Japan for a game, then another league match and finally Chelsea away. I'm tired just typing that!
Have Celtic taken on more then they can handle? Is commerical gain getting in the way of preparing the team for the season ahead? Do they have a ready made excuse should things not go to plan this season?
We cant take alot of from pre season and celtic are doing this whole pre season tour for money and arent really going to benefit on the pitch

celtic can only suffer from it, this japan thing is really gonna knock it out and will probably mean you will lose to hearts. alan thompson has also been sent home from the US tour... apparently his agent says they want to get rid of the high wage player

Celtic have won one game in 12 matches now. Fair enough the majority have been meaningless friendlies, but it's a worrying statistic. Add into that a number of players don't seem happy, Strachan may have a bit of motivating work to do as well.

CELTIC ARE SHIT WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
lol but seriously these long preseasons are not a smart thing to do.
its kinda typical unproffesional gordon strachan behaviour to send alan thompson home as well
Yeah saying that he has a strain end of the day Thommos agent has told it straight Strachan doesnt like Thompson

Killie chairman has said that he believes Celtic will be so tired from their pre-season tours that Killie will finally get a win at Celtic Park after 51 years of waiting.
The only people to have replied so far are Rangers fans, any Celtic fans willing to give their view on their pre-season preperations.

aaaaawwwwwww, what a shame we couldnt give the killie chairman what he wanted.
said it all along, pre-season results mean nothing - only thing that is important is what happens when the competitive stuff begins. 1 game down, we're doin alright
