    Remember there being quite a bit of excitement when he signed.

    I think a lot of it was just people hoping for the best and thinking he was the "no nonsense" type we needed. I've not really rated him as a player but thought he'd offer us at least the no nonsense part.

    Sadly I was wrong. Hes always been an average player.

    Admittedly hes been far worse than I could have imagined.

    I wasn't excited when he signed as much as others. We did need a no nonsense centre back but i still think i personally know better centre backs who I played football with. Woeful isn't even the word for his ability.

    Don’t think we ever needed a no nonsense centre half. It doesn’t suit the way we play in Scotland with so much of the ball. Regardless of Duffy’s individual errors (which have been horrific) his distribution has been just as much of a problem. Too many times this season we’ve been reduced to him playing long balls or lumping it away.

    This is part that annoys me. Lennon must have watched him & thought he would suit us *.

    Not the brightest person in the world by the looks of it. I hope him and that brother of his are ashamed with the way they've behaved this year. Celtic men my hole.

    WE needed a no-nonsense centre half, not a centre half full of nonsense...

    Keeps continuing because there's no repercussions.

    To be pitied really. It’s probably some stupid wee 12 year old who lives in some hovel in Larkhall or Saltcoats whose uncle/father smacks his poor aunt/mother about for getting him 3 battered sausages instead of 5.

    All could have been avoided if we punted him in January. I'm in no way condoning the abuse about his Dad, but he's not helped himself on several occasions over the season on social media.

    Be done with the drama and send him on his way.

    That should sort it all out mate. Back of the bus for him as well on his return journey?

    I never said he deserved any of it but they looked for a target and his behavior on and off the park has made him that target.

    At one point I couldn't stand the sight of him, now I just feel sorry for him, its not worked out, he wouldn't be getting this abuse if we cut the deal in January, which should have happened.

    Its been a disaster from start to finish and hopefully once he goes he gets a break from the knuckle draggers.

    He wouldn’t be getting this abuse if he never became a footballer either.

    Or if he never signed for Celtic.

    You’re taking the wrong angle mate. He shouldn’t be getting that type of abuse and that’s the beginning and end of the statement.

    Social media and certain players just don't go, again, not condoning the abuse nor do I think anyone deserves to have their fathers passing mocked.

    I just feel like he's not helped himself all season online. Going off it for a couple months then reactivating it probably made it worse IMO.

    He definitely should've binned social media..

    Anyone could see how it was going. He was having the nightmare of all nightmares and was getting it from all angles, with the mutants * their selves..

    Bang out what's been said to him but come off Instagram. He's been making an * of his self on it arguing and getting * mixed up. It's been painful to watch..
