Celtic are a club that in recent years have always felt like a project when realistically they should have been well on their way to be becoming the finished article. The most recent example of this is the clubs failure to properly invest in the last couple of transfer windows and the lack of backing given to the manager in signing players in key positions such as at right back.
Frustration aside, Celtic looked to make it three wins on the bounce when they played Hamilton on Saturday. Much like the previous two games they dominated possession from the start. They had plenty of chances with the Hamilton goalkeeper pulling off a string of terrific saves including in an excellent one on one with Weah, who really should of scored. Despite his terrific first half performance it was his own mistake that gifted Celtic the lead when he allowed a Callum McGregor shot to slip through his legs just before half time.
Into the second half and Celtic continued to dominate but there was an air of sluggishness about their play. Despite the high rates of possession, a lot of the passing was poor and the ball was consistently being played back. However Celtic would go on to score two more with Christie getting a lucky rebound after the keeper spilled the ball and Sinclair scoring a header after not being picked up at the back post. It was a good result even though the performance was quite average. They will need to be better however when coming up against better opposition.
Saturday was a reminder from fans that the clubs bid for ten titles in a row is not a project and that it is something they cannot allow to slip away.
