Originally published at: Ange's anger, the Jota effect; 3 things we learned from Celtic win vs Raith Rovers
Celtic are through to the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup after a comfortable 4-0 win over Raith Rovers. A first-half screamer from Liam Scales, as well as second-half goals from Giorgos Giakoumakis, Daizen Maeda and Nir Bitton ensured the Bhoys sailed through. However, there was a bit of discontent about some of the football Ange…
Todays result shows how far we have come from last seasons dross because a 4-0 win would have been hailed as a great result even against Raith Rovers. Yet we were poor in spells in the match with the old mistakes by the same players coming to the fore.
Johnston’s opening 10 minutes then the same repeated failure to deliver and Forrest failing to take on a full back and trying to tee up shots on his weak left foot. Bitton being sloppy and Rogic switched off and G.G. and Ralston with touches like an elephant.
Enter a 23yr old Jota who lights up the park and sparks life into Hatate and others around him .Thank god we wont have many more games where we play so many squad players at the same time because Ange has created a new Celtic with new players and the difference is frightening and can clearly be seen.
