    I think a lot of our problems have stemmed from the guys in front having little confidence in him since the start of the season, you can see it at corners.. You can see the look in his face, his body language ..he's * it this season..and I think his lack of confidence has definitely affected the squad..

    He really needs to sort it out and pluck up the balls to rescue his celtic career..because its shaky as * right now

    I'd be looking for a new keeper asap, Gordon is back up at best now. Pure dire all season, same with Johansen, Armstrong, Ambrose, Boyata, Lustig, and I could keep going. Our teams a * riot.

    Their first was a solid strike but I think he should have got something on it after seeing replays, seems to have been beaten near post a bit much this season.

    He's been woeful this season, most of the goals we've conceded from set pieces have been scored inside the six yard box, any area he should be commanding. If you look at his kickouts as well he hardly ever hits it to a Celtic player, Ross county's 3rd last weekend came from his * kickout.

    It probably doesn't help that he has no confidence in how we set up defensively but just another player who is in * poor form.

    The players have no trust or belief in the system they are being taught.

    Always been a cracking shot stopper but his overall game is nowhere near what we need for a no1. Theres plenty of other positions I would strengthen first though.

    Listening to Celtic Underground and just heard that Gordon has never saved a penalty, from 38 attempts. * *, that's * poor.

    Side note, Harry Brady is a *.

    Gordon has been shocking this season. Not coming out for crosses & also not coming off his line quick enough. I keep hearing people say, he doesn't have confidence in his defence. I also don't think the defence have confidence in him.

    He doesn't help them at corners & free kicks. They don't use him when in trouble as his kicking is shocking. he is too hesitant when coming of his line. The amount of times Gordon punts the ball upto the likes of Griffiths, MGS & Macgregor is outrageous

    Gordon will play today. It's an easy cleansheet (morale) and Deila's on such thin ice he'll take 'no risks' from here in (survival).

    I'd have Bailey, and Fasan on the bench personally. I'd tell Craig to take a week off and get his head right. He's clearly not a happy chappy this year for some reason. Competition for that spot should fire up all 3 keepers

    I am happy with Craig Gordon. We have had much worse and he is doing grand considering the circumstances.

    He's making a lot of mistakes, also looks very unconvincing with cross balls, yeah the defence isn't helping at times but he has to look at himself.

    Indeed but I think we could be doing more for him.

    This guy is causing us allsorts of problems.

    I reckon if we replaced him we would look instantly more solid. His kicking is dreadful, he is shaky, doesn't command anything and when you give him the ball back he's like a rabbit in the headlights which for a team of our type is useless.

    Great comeback story but the time for niceities and romanticism is done. We need better.

    Seeing that diving save at the end, it's infuriating that he keeps getting beaten at the near post, or by headers from simple lobbed balls in. He's got skills but he's so inconsistent on the simple stuff...

    Agree with this completely. I don't know how people are still using a few good performances in last season's Europa for his defense.

    He cost us the tie against Inter and has been bad to terrible ever since. We desperately need better but I can't see us looking, after all Gordon was the cheapest option out there.
