    Don't need to watch it back, it wasn't shocking - bar one instance.

    If there's no * there to get it up to, then you go safe.

    He is a good keeper and was brilliant for us last season. Maybe its just me but i dont think his performances have been as good this season. Suspect from crosses and has been parrying balls into dangerous areas. Great to have him here but in my opinion Forster is better.

    I'm not even just taking the hurried one's in to account. I'm on about the one's under no pressure, that he was hoofing to nobody..

    We need a lot better when trying to get up the pitch and get a breather from pressure, away in Europe..

    I don't think he'd get a game with any of the top 4 in England. He is a good keeper but lets not get carried away here.

    You could compare Hart to Gordon in terms of ability

    He is a great goalie and we are lucky to have him, I feel him and big Virgil must hate playing in such a garbage defence.

    Aye it was.

    Lost count the amount of balls he kicked up the other end to no-one, yeah it never helped with Griff up top himself, but was still pretty slack.

    He was very poor for the 1st goal, as someone said he needs to learn to take bodies out, friend or foe.

    Brilliant goalie for us though.

    Aye, those were my exact thoughts as he flapped at the corner which cost the first goal.

    Craig Gordon is too good for Celtic.

    I just don't understand this question.

    If a player is too good, we shouldn't play him?

    Waaaaat

    The question was badily worded by me. I was asking could he play for a Top 4 side or Dortmund, Sevilla etc

    He's to good for football in my opinion. Craig should just take up retail or something, it's unfair on other teams when he plays.

    Where was Van Dijk at corners is what you should be asking.

    Was it not Bitton who let his man run, which was why Van Djik was clearly very animated in the immediate aftermath?
