Not sure that's the case

For one thing the CL/EL has expanded to include extra games in January. The other thing was that Celtic IIRC were usually well out of Europe by late November (in that the remaining game(s) would be dead rubbers)

Celtic were in the group stages of the CL that season and so the only difference in no. of games there would have been the additional 2 that have been added to European group stages. No point talking about dead rubbers as we pretty much rotated fully in the early group stages so no real difference overall and doesn't really matter in the context anyway.

This season Celtic have played 37 games, Spurs have played 35 games.

I would suggest the first half of the season is mostly similar except last season where we only played 41 games all season.

I would say that Celtic are more likely to get cold muscles in a game though :cool:

There you go, take off the 2 additional European group stage games for Ange's last season at Celtic and we're at what we've played this season.

Edit : Just checked wiki and as of 5th Feb 23 they had played 35 games that season, exactly the same as what we've played so far this season.

How many of those games are 'competitive' vs us?
How many games with options to rotate vs us?

We are 14/15th at this point, i would guess Celtic were 1st and probably with a big lead....

I've said i want a full clearout and new start. Just stating facts. They won the treble and were in the cl. They played the same amount of games as us.
Everyone can argue about level of competition etc... i don't give a fudge.

But just stick to the facts. He has played this many games in the timeframe.

That wasn't the statement i was questioning- it was said he hasn't managed this many games before which he has as has been proven. Not really a big deal.

Also, the question mark on the injuries isn't just about number of games. It's about the use of subs, rotation of players and what's happening on the training ground. I can't believe Ange had the age profile of squad in Scotland either. That should work in our favour, but doesn't seem to.

He's definitely managed the sheer quantity of games though.
