    He just doesn't have the dynamism and fitness level's to play a physically demanding role like that, it's glaringly obvious yet Ange keep's persisting with it game after game, same with Ralston as an inverted wingback, what a hill to die on, madness.

    He’d be on the bench tomorrow for me, I’d be starting McCarthy alongside Cal and playing Rogic further up the park.

    Sorry mate but the offer does matter.

    He allegedly earned £7k here for the last 18 months. If we offered a fair wage at that time he would’ve taken it. Every week he earned the smaller wage is lost money and that’s before we get into the risk of injury.

    He would’ve still pushed for a move eventually for the big bucks, no doubt, but he would’ve been happier and moved for a transfer fee when we were ready.

    I’m all for calling players out when they are greedy and push for moves, but in my opinion the far bigger problem here is the board mismanaging and taking the * out of players they see as ‘Celtic’ men.

    There’s a lot of unknown in this case, of course, but in my opinion it was a Christie vs. Tory Board situation and I’m firmly on Christie’s side with that.

    I’m glad he stuck to his guns and told the * on the board to * off, hopefully they learn the lesson (like they did with Turnbull after McGinn, although they almost * that too).

    He needs dropped for a few games, I'd be playing Rogic instead, both slow as * but Rogic has that touch of class that can change a game.

    For periods of the game he was invisible. On a really poor run of form at the moment.

    Needs dropped. It’s baffling he continues to play so much.

    I rate him as a player but he should not be playing as much as he is at the moment.

    Very frustrating to watch him at the moment.

    Did they really wow that is utterly risible. I thought he was poor yesterday overall.

    He’ll get a break away with Scotland squad as he won’t get a game.Needs it as himself and Rogic have played the most games this season.Big worry is that Oz manager will play Rogic in every game so he’ll either be back injured or blowing out his *.

    What do you do though? Rogic can't play super amounts, he has never been able to. McGregor was also out for a bit so a midfield trio had to be made somewhere.

    Just watched McGinns corner for Scots winner. It was a perfect delivery.
    Turnbulls deliveries are shocking, way too much air on them. Surely someone, within our coaching set up, can see this and realize that, given the number of corners we get most games, that we need to improve every aspect of set pieces, from deliveries, starting positions and movement.
