Josip Juranovic

Played well today. Couple of poor passes but some very good defending and full of running.

 

Thought he was quite poor.

Ralston’s jersey still. No doubt.

 

Didn't see much of the second half but he should've had an assist for Rogic..

Some of his passing can be erratic but he does play quite a few you don't see fullbacks making that I think 'nice son'..

Did get skinned badly by Woolery at one point..

Edit: Just seeing the second half highlights and he laid it on a plate for Rogic again. In both halves he did so should be sitting with a couple of assists from today..

 

Don't rate him. Gives the ball away regularly , and has done for months. So sloppy in possession , and don't think his delivery or attacking threat in general is much to write home about.

 

Agreed thought he had a good game today on both sides of the ball. His pace was vital for us a few times defensively and unlucky not to get a good assist when he laid that one in the second half for Rogic.

 

Great pro ,bargain price ,can't be easy getting used to playing on your weaker side for months then shifted back , needs time to adjust again , although I prefer ralston I also rate juranovic.

 

I don't really understand the argument about moving back to his natural position being difficult in all honesty.

 

Just my opinion that after starting an unnatural position for a few month then moving back ,you would need a period of adjustment, linking up with different players on the other side and such .

 

I'd agree he and those playing with him need to adapt to each other, but that's true under lots of circumstances.

Playing his natural position isn't though.

 

im definitily warming to the idea of him playing further foward

 

I have to say I've been disappointed in recent games. Since he's moved to right-back I expected him to up it a level given he's been holding the position down for Croatia. Expecting more in the coming weeks but hasn't been any better than Ralston since the move.

 

‘Sheared’, even.

 

Can be sloppy with his passing at times. Be good to see him operate in front of AR hopefully in midweek.

 

Josip Juranovic admits the Celtic players are aware of Bernard Higgins protests and joked about joining in.

The Parkhead faithful are furious over the rumoured appointment of the contoversial security chief.


The Green Brigade and other prominent Celtic fans groups have fallen silent during the last two games against Real Betis and Motherwell.

Protests against Higgins, a former Police Scotland assistant chief constable, have been extremely noticeable in recent weeks as Hoops supporters show their opposition to the club's hierachy.

Croatian defender Juranvoic joked that the players wanted to join the Celtic support in protest but the 26-year-old hopes the fans are back in full voice soon.

"We noticed it," Juranovic admitted. "When we came in afterwards we were speaking about it and how we never really heard them singing.

We were joking we should join the protest and sit on the pitch and drink coffee!




It made a difference. When the fans sing it is the main thing here. We play for them and they cheer for us.

"When they cheer we play better so hopefully it will come back soon. Our main focus in on the game on Wednesday and then we will prepare for the Final.

 

Thought he was horrendous tonight.


Ange was pulling his hair out at him in the first half

 

His delivery really let him down all evening. That said he would have been helped if Monty attacked the back post.

 

Not sure why he wasn't trying some low driven crosses and kept going for high looping balls, Abada scores the first time Scales puts one like that in

 

Well he's definitely not a RW anyway

 

His crossing was woeful tonight. Even the ones he had plenty of time to pick a man out or put the ball into a dangerous area.

Not sure what height he thinks Abada can jump...
