    Pretty sure he's been a CB for us since he joined in 2013.

    Ronny will have a major job on his hands this summer to replace both Denayer and Van Dijk (assuming he goes). Replacing both your centre backs is no easy task and is one we cannot get wrong with important CL qualifiers games early in the new season.

    We could do a lot worse than Mulgrew back in his proper position. The way we play requires a centre half who is a natural with the ball at his feet.

    I like the boy at Swansea, Jordi Amat. He doesn't play every week but that's because he has Ashley Williams (club/country captain) and Federico Fernandez (In Argentina's WC squad) in front of him. Only 22 and Ronny will improve his game.

    The boy Souttar from Dundee United would definitely be able to replace one of them, if he's as good as everyone is saying.

    More of a chance of us getting him now that Armstrong and GMS are here too.

    Souttar has a long way to go from what I've seen. He's good for his age but he's miles off the standard we require just now. He's also been injured all season so we'll need to see if that's hampered his development when he's fit again.

    From the games I've seen him play for Dundee Utd and the Scotland youth teams, his long term future will be in a deep lying midfield position too.

    Souttar is a player I like, but its too big a step from Dundee Utd to Celtic. Unlike GMS and Armstrong he is still very young and inexperienced at 18. Too big a risk to throwing him into the first team, but certainly a player for the future

    Heard that Alexander Milosevic of AIK is a good player.

    Id be happy with mulgrew at the back. Important to find a good partner at the back with him.

    good player,think hes a big * poser though doesn't cope well against quality opposition,should concentrate on improving under Ronny rather than look for a move to the epl

    Didn't deserve to be sent off tonight . First one wasn't a yellow in any way . Second one hes ended up wrong side of his man so that shows a naivity . Too much diving in from him , he will need to learn to be patient . May have * himself out of a big move .

    First one wasnt a yelllow but I thought he was a bit naive for the second yellow. He obviously wants a move to the English Premiership but any managers looking at his performances over the two legs aren't going to be too impressed with his performances.

    Never deserved to be sent off. Did you watch or just going off a match report?

    2 fouls and 2 yellow cards sums up the referee for me tonight. First one wasn't a yellow and the 2nd is the sort of foul that's only given as a yellow when you're already on one. Probably wouldn't even have been given it if it wasn't for Icardi being an absolute embarrassment waving an imaginary card about all over the place.

    This will surely put off any EPL teams. A pretty poor performance last week and a sending off this week (deserved or not).

    The second one typical silly van dijk but two fouls two cards was ridiculious because the first one wasnt even a foul.

    Yes I watched the game. Doesn't matter if the first was a yellow or not, once he had he shouldn't have been so stupid for the second thous costing us the game.

    Over the two legs he was poor and made a massive mistake tonight
