We asked for your views on the 5-1 Como Cup defeat against Ajax in Celtic’s penultimate pre-season friendly.

Here’s what some of you said:

Liam: The same fans that got overly excited about us beating Newcastle will now be unhappy about this defeat. They’re friendly matches and it’s about fitness, but also these games told us very little that we don’t know. Adam Idah is a disappointment and unless we do something about it we’ll fall short in several games this season. At the back we know the issues.

Anthony: Often too much emphasis is put on pre-season results. It’s clear the first team is working well and playing some good football but we lack serious depth and there are still questions to be asked up top and at centre-back. These next two weeks to start the league and transfer market will be huge in determining our season.

Lewis: The quicker Celtic get back to playing domestic football the better as they have shown cheap buys just can’t do it. Let’s not be fooled, this is Scottish football and it’s bleak.

Ted: Hopefully they learn the lesson about keeping the ball and stop playing the ball in your own box.

Kevin: No concerns on the domestic front. The European stage is a different story. We need a reliable striker and we simply don’t have one any more, the board’s tight-fisted approach will, as usual, come back to bite them. No ambition spells failure!

Joe: This squad overall is fragile and I’m really concerned now about the lack of quality signings where we need to strengthen. ‘Project’ signings are not what we need right now, for the domestic challenge or Champions League qualification. Remember, we’re not there yet.
