    Agree. Just goes to show how mentally strong AR is to come through after watching those duds.
    Rapidly becoming fans favorite and rightly so.

    Maybe it’s to try and prevent another summer window like the one we’ve just had?

    I agree, it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just surprised me that we've started doing it

    Aye, gives us cover but also gives us extra time if a player is to be sold, so we can try and get a fee. Longer contracts for the right players is a good idea at times. Although a Bobo Balde situation could end up happening too.

    Hes actually getting better game by game. Some of those passes into the box. The vision to see the run, the timing of his overlaps, his crosses. Everything's improving. We could actually have a late developing Tierney on the right.

    My wife is filing divorce papers today after she found out I taped over our wedding video with Charlie Adam falling on his * as Ralstinho pinpoints his cross.

    * sake, every time I try and forget about Toljan someone mentions him and I get a wave of sickness in me. He is by far away the worst player I ever saw for us.

    Anyway, good 2 weeks off for Ralston, you’ve * earned it mate!

    Can't stop watching this. Tell you what Abada shows a fair bit of determination to win the ball to begin with. Good on him.

    Has been excellent. I don't think many saw this coming. Gives 100% every game. There are times where you can still see his limitations but I don't think we can ask for much more from him.

    Can’t believe the turnaround with him. Was honestly raging when he got the years extension to his contract when Ange came in because I, along with the majority didn’t see him ever been good enough.

    Fair play to him he has been absolutely immense and long may it continue.

    :39: then offer 3, with an option on the 4th... That's 2025/6, and no need to be concerned about him again until 2024

    There’s two sides to negotiations though.

    If it helps, I think he was only extended by 3 years. It's that plus the remainder of this season which he was already under contract for.

    Still can't find a clip of his clearance against Ferencvaros?

    Think it’s an underrated part of his game. He hasn’t been entirely on it in an attacking sense in every game recently, but he always puts in a shift.

    The cross in being superb did help. I assume he's been putting some work into that side of his game.

    Show's what a chance to play combined with the right mindset can do. Celtic put years of investment into players and then never take that final step with them, with a bit of patience I think we'd see more rewards like this if they did.
