    That's not even hindsight. We all called it at the time.

    Just like Lennon getting the boot in October.

    We have constantly knowingly shot ourselves in the foot this season whenever we've been given the opportunity through inaction.

    He has to be allowed to learn from his mistakes, which he will make, but he must have confidence shown in him. I have no faith in Lennon to progress him as a player though.

    Yes, it is the same with subs, you see absolutely the wrong subs being made and the game turning against us or turning further against us. Every game.

    Great goal, very composed, and for me and most importantly, knows when to just get it to *. Few times he just went through it today rather than messing about, and I'm fine with that when it's required.

    Timed his challenges perfectly, doesn't charge into the back of folk and give daft free kicks away.

    Showing far more experienced players how it should be done and absolutely should not be dropped. Will be * * off, again, if Lennon brings Duffy back in.

    Brilliant again. Good to give Duffy a rest so he can be fit for the next game

    Gerry McCulloch on commentary said he 'didn't have the height of Ajer or Duffy' - wikipedia says he's 6'3? Is it talking pish? I know that is smaller than Ajer & Duffy, but really? Commenting on his shortness at 6'3? Transfermarkt also has him at 1.88m

    He's earned a run in the team to see what he can do. Miles better than Duffy and Bitton anyway.

    So 1inch shorter than Duffy, height means nothing if you can't use it as an advantage.

    Done very well the last two games, deservedly MOTM, also won us 3 points today not just with his goal, but also with his block from Cole in the second half which was on target and imo heading into the back of the net without it, still don't know if he's going to be a good enough first choice in terms of starting every week competing in Europe & for trophies, but he's putting in displays so far that suggest he might be, especially with a more settled team around him & under a better manager.

    The official Celtic website has him at 6'3", that plenty big enough to be a CB. Carlos Puyol was under 6ft but a great CB in his time.

    If he's shorter than 6'3" then obviously we can lay the blame firmly at Neil Lennon's door for that.

    He doesn’t look 6ft to me never mind 6’3 :giggle1:

    Good player though. Thought he was 5’11 or so

    You seriously need your hole ya * :giggle1:

    Aye mate, there's no way he's 6'3. No even close..

    He could do with beefing up but he's very strong in the tackle, goes all out and quite good in the air for his height to be fair..

    under 6 ft is a bit short for a CB. Surely he's over 6 ft - Celtic website cant be miles off, you cant mistake someone thats 5'11 for 6'3.
