    I thought he was very good in the first half. Likes to get up the park and get an early cross in. Far more mobile than Tierney.

    Rash defensively - tends to pick cards up regularly, but good on the attack.

    He was poor defensively yesterday - gave away a pen and almost gave away a goal.

    He was a bombscare defensively. Tripped over his own feel and let Maswanishe in on goal then gave away the pen. His passing was crap as well. Just when you think at least one player is showing up well he turns in a performance like that. Was a bit of a relief when he was subbed off.

    A well deserved return to the Uruguay set up again for Marcelo





    https://elintransigente.com/2025/10/ex-boca-la-gran-noticia-que-recibio-marcelo-saracchi-en-celtic/
    Marcelo Saracchi has become one of the latest players to leave Club Atlético Boca Juniors . During the last transfer window, the left-back received the news that he would not be considered by Miguel Ángel Russo , and decided to leave in search of experience, thus returning to European football, more specifically to wear the Celtic shirt of Scotland.




    After the controversy surrounding his dismissal by Miguelo and his disastrous departure from the club, the Uruguayan has now played a few matches in the Old Continent. And while it's known he will have to return to Argentina in mid-2026, as there's no purchase option in the loan agreement, the truth is he's been having a promising first half.


    As soon as he arrived in Scotland, he made his debut in a local tournament match against Rangers . After that, he continued to earn minutes and earned the approval of the fans, but now he also received some great news due to the fruits of his form in Scotland: Chelo has been called up to play for the Uruguay National Team during the FIFA World Cup .


    Precisely, one of the priorities of the now former Bocaplayer was to leave Brandsen 805 to be back on the radar of the Celeste, thinking about the 2026 World Cup . Now, Marcelo Bielsa decided to add him to the final list, with players who are not usually part of the squad, for the October date and the friendly against Malaysia



    Despite both full-backs being dropped by Russo , the Uruguayan was loaned out to European football, while the Swiss national remained at the club. Regarding this, journalist Leandro Aguilera revealed on TyC Sports why the decision was made differently: " Look, Saracchi was a special case; it was like what happened with Lema and Rojo. He ended up going to Celtic, that's separate from everything else. In the Blondel case, he hasn't been getting any minutes, so he asked to play in the Reserves ."
