    One of the most embarrassing photos of any Celtic player during a match given the context to be honest.

    He was just a young boy and I suspect he was petrified and didn’t know how to react.

    Why do we as a club persist with players who are not even good enough to sit on the bench

    we need a leaner squad with more quality , stop wasting wages on players who are not good enough

    Get him off the payroll and get the next Jerry Fimprong onboard.

    Good point and additionally, why buy so many players for millions and not give them a chance. We only need a squad of about 16 max the way NL refuses to play anyone else!!

    Rodgers gave him a 5 year deal because he was the next Danny Mcgrain.
    He won't permanently leave until his contract runs out because teams like St Johnstone etc won't offer him anything near what he's getting at us.

    Bit of a thin squad with our injury list history.

    Would like to see a squad of 40.

    twenty two QUALITY first team options .. two for every position and a youngster to cover for injuries or just be around the squad getting experience and subs appearances when matches are already won

    5 players who can cover a few positions, squad players who are decent and know they are needed for cover for suspensions etc These players could be older to pass on their experience or youngsters who maybe don't have a set position in a team.

    and two striker prospects who are able to push our main strikers or can add something very different.

    A squad bigger than this is bloated and players need to know they have a real chance of game time if they perform.

    Shame it never worked for him, always quite liked him as a player and he was a true celtic man. Always thought he was quite unlucky to be honest

    In what way is he unlucky? Hes lucky to have kicked a ball for Celtic. Hes not good enough but nobody can take that away from him and if he moves on he can still have a decent career at a lower level

    How’s that then?

    He’s obviously saying something to the wee rat.

    To laugh in the face of a guy who’s in the process of tearing you a new one (he wasn’t done yet which is the worst part) as if to make a point of “you don’t scare me mate, you wee *” is just cringey. I get the guy was thrown in at the deep end, and if he struggled and got a bit of a roasting then fair enough, you can hardly fault him. What I take issue with is him laughing like a buffoon and clearly not grasping the full gravity of that result in terms of the embarrassment it brought on the club.

    Wasn't he laughing at Neymar getting booked for diving? Not sure

    In any case, I don't really find it embarrassing. Ralston had already become the whipping boy to many by that point so he was always going to get a tough time. Another example of a player who's confidence was shot to bits early on and found it difficult to recover

    How do you know he’s laughing and how do you know the context?

    It’s a picture.

    Who the * laughs like that. He’s obviously saying something to him.

    Come on 40!!! Where are we getting the money for that? Our squad is already bloated with guys that have no chance of getting game time here. Sorry mate but you’ll need to come into the real world.

    Well this site lists 35 and doesnt include our youth team
    https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/celtic-fc/2021/2/

    So the money is already there..
    And I have included at least 11 youths.

    2 players plus a youth in every position. That's 33.. but feel we need more cover for strikers plus a few utility players to help cover heavy schedule, injuries, suspension.

    Having a squad of 35 filled with 50% who are not quality is the problem.
