    The more game time he gets the more he will improve. Looks a great wee player.

    Dear oh dear. This is cringe-worthy :56:

    The lad is an outstanding prospect that has came in like a player with 100+ First team games under his belt.

    Was waiting on this happening but thankfully the majority are clever enough to see what a player he is rather than frantically looking for faults.

    He's sound technically and solid defensively.

    FFS. He is *.
    Considering the teams we are up against in the Premiership he should be * scoring a hat trick every * game.

    That is just incorrect. Nothing to do with opinion here - you are simply wrong.

    Do not get me wrong, you cannot question his endeavour and I think he is very capable defensively and should be our 1st choice left back, however, he is not good on the ball. Whenever he gets it he just balloons it up the pitch.

    Just because he is young and he is a Celtic player doesn't mean he is the best thing since sliced bread. Honestly - get real.

    He's good and he is young and he is the best we have at left back. I know I'll get the 'he's only 18 ffs, that's ridiculous', but if you're good enough, you're old enough - he is not a patch on Izzy pre-ankle break.

    What JPR said their was spot on. He's far from the finished article on the ball but his actual close control and crossing have been very good.

    * * it, how is he getting questioned by folk on here? He is already a good full back and will most probably become a top player. He has taken a first team spot from our best left back in probably over 10 years who also by the way is a former SPL player of the year. This season he could not be any more impressive for an 18 year old full back. He has been terrific.

    Least technically gifted in the team? :56:

    He can definitely brush up some aspects of his game, and with his age, he will tenfold. Fucksake I'm out..

    Defensively he is outstanding regardless of his age - has that natural knack of timing a tackle and can anticipate where the ball is going to be .

    He's probably the best I've seen in a Celtic jersey at timing a slide tackle. He's absolutely phenomenal at it..

    Rock solid wee guy who puts everything in to them..

    High praise from me indeed..

    He can definitely improve the attacking part of his game, linking and overlaps. Defensively he is very solid, great tackling and decent pace. Has a good cross on him and good touch.

    He does run with his head over the ball, I think at this stage he is focusing on making a clean contact and not making mistakes, sometimes this means he might miss a pass that's on on the inside but these things come with age. He is certainly not the least technical in the squad, Gordon has that one hands down!

    Made the left back first team position his own at the age of just 18, that in itself speaks volumes about him and how good he's been.

    He's 18.

    Some people really just love a moan.

    Not one player has been safe this season. People turning on an 18 year old is ridiculous, but then again our best goal-scorer since Larsson is now being criticised even when his goals have literally just won us the game. :smiley-laughing002:

    If we had 11 player that grafted like him, I'd be over the moon.

    He's a cracking little player.

    In fairness, he's lasted longer than most with the honeymoon period with the Celtic support. I'm sure his flaws will be depicted in full in the coming weeks.
