    You should have seen the thread in the 6-4 game.

    I mean, we're playing a good side with Iwata, Forrest, Kwon and Siegrist starting, I'd be shocked if any of them start in the CL.

    If so many players are doing poorly, perhaps tactics are the problem?

    Surely Ralston has to be starting right back.. mental having a central midfield player playing there.

    Thing is, and it's something you've said yourself, with kwon coming in we probably won't sign a natural CDM now.

    Which is exactly what we need for Europe.

    If we go into Europe again with the same midfield it's a bit negligent I'd say. Hoping we pull something out of the hat this month.

    Our lack of pace and strength in there is still so evident.

    Just a poor, poor half. Hopefully salvage a draw out this at least with some second half changes. Really don't like losing these kinds of tribute matches at Celtic Park. Always think it's a shame the player has to reflect on a defeat for their testimonial.

    Hasn't played since May. You can't just throw guys straight back in. If that was the case then we wouldn't spend 6 weeks doing preseason and playing 4 or 5 warm up games.

    Cant believe that actually needs explained tbh

    He hasn't played since may, shouldn't he be getting game time in these games that actually have no meaning??

    The players we're buying don't look good enough for champions league, that's a worry

    Iwata was brought to be a CDM, but the injuries to both Johnston and Ralston shifted him to RB.

    Hopefully Jamesy gets his inevitable testimonial penalty.

    Oh I agree, I moreso mean the overall dynamic will be different. If we start with any of these players in Europe I'll be very surprised.

    Would love a proper CDM to come in, but with Iwata and Kwon it'll be a January thing. Our best hope is signing a CM thay can play there.

    Think it’s only cause he’s coming back from a knock, if he gets through this 45mins without niggling it I’m sure he’ll start against Ross county
