    Thought somebody would say that, not counting them as Jason was on loan :smiley-laughing002:

    Seriously, the last solid permanent defensive partnership we had for awhile was Kelvin Wilson and Efe Ambrose!!

    He played very well today, glad we kept him. I think all three will play on Tuesday, Simunovic, Sviatchenko and Toure.

    Glad to hear he played well. Hopefully he stays fit and continues this run of form.

    haha, why cant we count loan players?! :56: That was a defensive partnership that played for Celtic.

    I hope Erik & Jozo can replicate their class, i reckon they've got the potential to.

    Thought he looked pretty solid, looks very comfortable on the ball but let the ball drop over his head a couple of times that caused a bit of panic.

    Must surely be the case going forward in Europe away and against bigger teams.
    Lustig and Tierney at full/wing back.

    Looks fantastic on the ball. Passing, stepping out, composed... all brilliant.

    Couple of things on his defending though. He did lose the ball late on and it bounced over his head, remarkable for a professional footballer to allow that to happen once, never mind twice. Also very lucky early on when somehow, Boyd got away from him and he escaped a booking or worse.

    Lustig had a wee shout at him in the second half at one point when he came over the top of Lustig that Mikael clearly had.

    Will learn more at against better teams, as we will find out on Wednesday.

    Liking what I'm reading. Two solid young(ish) centre backs who can move the ball around.
    One experienced pro who's got a lot left to offer
    One young youth centre back with hunger and great potential

    If he can keep building his form. I'll be very happy

    Glad to see him doing well. Think he realises how lucky he is to be Celtic. Has looked good since coming back from injury.

    Was impressed with him myself. Was his aggressive interception that got us back in the game yesterday for Dembele's first..

    Very positive player, always looking to go forward. Potential!.

    He's looked pretty tidy in his last couple of appearances.

    I don't remember him ever being the type of player to stride out of defence the way he has when he made a few appearances for us before his injury.

    This lad has me curious as to see if he can cement a decent partnership with Jozo whenever Toure is rested.

    Love his confidence and his van dijk runs out from defence

    Good to see. No doubt he'll be getting some of that from Big Kolo, as he's been excellent at that since coming in..

    Looks even better now than he did before his injury. Going to be a big player for us I think.
