Stuart Armstrong

He does so much running that it's only a matter of time before he does his hammy again..

It's a worry as he was holding it and stretching it again last night. Noticed him do this a few time's this season, and already been out due to it..

 

He had problems with cramping last season, and no surprise will be feeling it now after a long season, I think he'll be fine to be honest just overdue a rest really.

 

Yep. Wrap it up the weekend and get him and a few other's rested..

 

He should get on the Creatine,works wonders

 

Stuart Armstrong could be the latest Celtic player to tie up his long-term future to the Parkhead club after confirming that negotiations are well underway to extend his current deal.

The midfielder has 18 months remaining on his contract but Celtic will look to ensure that the player, who will turn 25 tomorrow, is secured beyond that.

“The club and my representatives are in negotiations and things seem to be going well,” said Armstrong, who made his senior Scotland debut on Sunday night in the 1-0 win over Slovenia.


“It has been a very good season and Brendan Rodgers has been great for me. He has come in and allowed me to play central midfield which has really developed my game so I’m in a good place at the moment and I just want to enjoy it.

“It was a long-held ambition of mine to play international football so it was a rewarding experience to do that on Sunday at Hampden. As I say, it is nice to be where I am at the minute but I know that the main thing for me is to focus on the football.”


Whenever Celtic do cross the line, Armstrong will take some satisfaction in the role he has played in getting them there.

Having forced his way into the team, the former Tannadice player has chipped in with 12 goals as well as an aggressive style of play and that fits into the way that Rodgers sets out his stall.

However, the change from being a fringe player to one of the first names on the team-sheet isn’t one that has caused him to reflect too much.

“I don’t like to over-think things now,” he said, offering another hint of Rodgers' influence. “I try not to dwell on things but to keep looking forward. When I was younger and hadn't had so much exposure to high-profile games I think I probably used to dwell on certain aspects of my own game.

“My real concern always has to be on what I bring to the team and how I influence the way that we play from my position. That is the only thing that I try to focus on and let the rest take care of itself.

“It is nice to be in the position that I am at the moment but I don’t think it is one that I would ever take for granted. There are a number of good players at Celtic and I just want to ensure that I continue to make a strong contribution.”

 

Thank *

 

Great news....

 

25 today

 

...perhaps not the best photo.

 

Sorry boss.

 

Haha that fud James Corden retweeted a video of Stuart Armstrongs goals for Celtic saying he wants West Ham to sign him. What is it with that club? Why do they think they are big enough to take our best players?

 

On a side note it's just hit me how valuable our squad has become. We used to have 1 £10m+ player in the team at one time but now i'd say KT, Dembele, Armstrong, Rogic and Sinclair could all fetch a fee north of £10m, with Simunovic and Eboue possibly turning out that good in the future as well. Never thought Armstrong would turn out to be a Premier League target, but he's been brilliant this season.

 

Just came in too post this good too see he's getting the attention he deserves but he isn't going anywhere

 

With this year's experience behind them, it's also the spine of a team that could make last 16 in the CL/EL the next few years running, if the club can keep them past this summer. Hope the club is in good enough shape to fend off bids when the time comes...

 

Do they? It was Corden who said it, not West Ham.

 

The fans i mean. Some of them were genuinely saying "Dembele would be a decent signing" They play * Andy Carroll up front, and he's there best player.

 

Andy Carroll's a good player tbf

 

£10m now for Stuart
