    Both he and Ralston will never be good enough, the only way things will ever change is if we actually go out and sign better players, i canny understand why that is so difficult for the Board to understand.

    He's an honest, hard working, decent wee player, who unfortunately just doesn't have that extra bit of pace or quality of cross that we desperately need.

    The best way I could put it. I actually wish he did have that wee bit of extra pace because he deserves to be more naturally gifted for the amount of hard work he puts in. He's not Celtic class but he would do well for multiple defensive sides down in england in the championship for sure.

    The severe lack of quality in the fullback areas was evident again last night, it's such an important part of the team and integral to the way Ange want's to play.


    New season is only 10 days away and we need a whole new backline, it's incredible, especially for a club of our size.

    He's a Hibs/Aberdeen level player. No frills, honest and hard working. Reached his peak. Trouble is, the board will be looking to recover most of the fee spent on him, which no club in Scotland will do, especially with covid hitting their finances. So we're stuck with him and Boli meantime. Think he'd be a suitable back up for the bench though.

    That is exactly what he should be, the guy is never a starter, decent back up/squad player.

    Is he even a decent back up?

    I'd rather have Hayes as a back up LB and I wasn't even fond of Hayes.

    Taylor is so weak and devoid of ideas I just don't see any redeeming qualities.

    Id probably rather have Montgomery backup if he's gonna play there, with a new one coming in. Taylor isn't going to get any better the more I watch him.

    I think the priority right now is gettin the 1st choice fullbacks in the door, it's such a vital part of the Ange jigsaw, essential for the team to function, especially in an attacking sense.

    He's played much worse for us but his limitations are glaring pretty much every time he steps on the pitch.

    A tidy player but severely lacking the attributes of a modern day full back.

    The problem for Taylor, and Boli. Is that Ange clearly doesn't want a traditional wing back.

    He wants someone with composure, a decent first touch and someone who wants to get on the ball.

    I'm interested to see who Ange brings in at LB for that inside LB role. Because if he can't improve upon Taylor, then we can't do Ange's system. Unless he moves Cal Mc to LB or something - like a Phillip Lamb etc

    It dosen't really matter who the manager is, nothing will change the fact that the likes of Taylor and Ralston are not good enough to play for Celtic.


    Ralston inparticular struggles with the basics of football.

    I actually think Taylor's touch is decent and he's fairly composed. He just lacks pace, strength, creativity, and can't beat a man to save his life

    Shame that once again he ended up in a position needing to use the full wing himself.

    I cannot, cannot take another minute of this imposter..

    He's unbelievably and utterly * man..

    Passing is beyond brutal. He couldn't cross the road either for someone who can pick his man out and my word, every single game the space he leaves in behind is frightening..

    Twice in 5 minute's he was looking to see where his man was and 1 of the time's his man was already running in on goal before he even noticed 20 yards out. Pitiful..

    Honestly, I'm a broken record in here with him but please please please end him. Atrociously out of his depth footballer..

    Just like Ralston the guy is brutal, it's honestly painful watching the two of them.
