    I didn't think he did too bad, dealt well with crosses and looked composed on the ball. He's mixing it with an absolute riot of defence, give him a decent partner and full backs and he'll slot right in.

    The fact ange is playing Bitton ahead of Welsh is worrying

    He's not certainly not blowing any skirts up.

    But it's very early days at a new club, with new teammates, a new manager, a new keeper, and a defence I'd happily nominate to to do their training drills in a minefield wearing * clogs and helmets filled with cement.

    Think he'll do fine with a competent partner at CB.

    Listen Alan Stubbs was hoachin until he got a steady partner in Marc Rieper it won’t take us a season we will have another new CB and hopefully Jullien back in a few months once he also has decent fullbacks and isn’t having to cover the whole back line you will see him get better he will be fine

    In fairness, Welsh isn’t the answer either. We need at least one more centre back signing.

    He's a wee bit lackadaisical with the ball at times and lost one tonight which a better team would have punished however, I think he will improve with better players around him and not the bomb scares we have at the moment

    Will judge him when we have a fully settled back 5

    Hard for anyone to look playing in a back line consisting of Taylor, Ralston and Bitton.

    I understand the sentiment regarding his performances so far but it’s basic stuff he’s getting completely wrong. As I said earlier 2 games and to blame for 2 goals maybe 3. We can’t rely on Julienne coming back and being any good or not breaking down with niggling injuries which is the norm after a long lay off. For the money we’ve spent this guy is seen as a starter every week, he has to improve massively.

    Incredible how quickly people are to judge. Over the years and I'm 50 soon I've seen guys we've thought were pish come good after settling into a new team , country and playing style. Stan Petrov being one I can think of off the top of my head...even Larsson took a while to get up to speed. This guy has come in to play with probably the worst Celtic defence we've seen in a long long time and now add a new keeper to that, once we get a proper decent standard of defender across the whole back line I'll reserve my judgement on him.

    He was to blame for Hearts opener, but he hasn’t been the main culprit for any others.

    Bitton just watching the midfielder running from deep for the first tonight was ridiculous defending. Then the second was a combination of Rogic’s first touch being shocking and Ralston about 30 yards out of position.

    Needs time, some decent defenders around him. Ange high pressing system isn't gonna make our defence look clever at times.

    Early days…. Wouldn’t jump on him yet..,

    Too many other ins and outs to get done before casting judgement on somebody just here…

    Need big CJ back ASAP and a few duds out (Taylor etc) , a couple of proper defenders in and see where we are at.

    He might be well be but you seem to be absolutely buzzing about it.

    Exactly, not heather on fire yet, does show well now and again, still finding his feet. What a shambles our backline is. Still, with Starfelt and Hart, we can now start to build. FFS, just get a proper RB and maybe a loan at LB.

    Seriouly, there is nothing worse than playing with guys who don't get the system. This is true irrespective of the level of football (says me). When people around you don't know where they're supposed to be (and when) you can look like an idiot trying to compensate for them.

    I've no doubt he'll look fantastic when he has colleagues on his wavelength.

    The 2 of them watched the boy run past them, one as guilty as the other. As for their 2nd, did you not see him dive in like an *? He had to buy a ticket to get back in!!!

    Being Swedish, I follow the local game closely.

    I was surprised when he got his move from Gothenburg to Rubin Kazan. For me, he hadn't made much of an impact up until that point.

    At the moment, he's got at least four centre halves ahead of him in the national team (Lindelöf, Danielsson, Jansson, Helander). Subsequently, he didn't make the Swedish squad for the recent Euro's. At 26, he's got three caps.

    I'm not saying it won't work at Celtic, but I'm not convinced. He's not the biggest, and I'm not sure how he'll handle the pace of the Scottish game.

    Early days, obviously.
