    Think that was all down to Matthews tbh. Same situation as Van Dijk, when a player wants to go they generally go.

    What we need is for Deila to have trust in his replacement: Janko

    Gutted for Lustig. It seems much more of a surprise if he makes it through a game unscathed these days. Such a shame as he is one of our best when he's on form.

    Terrible to see him tore up like that; he's was hurting last night. I don't know how some of these players have the resolve to keep going injury after injury. The likes of him, Kennedy, Wilshire, they show supernatural tenacity. Luckily, Kennedy will be able to keep him straight .

    Do you honestly think Deila had much say in whether Matthews stayed or left?

    Some are overcooking how good Matthews is TBH.

    I was completely behind his sale, good deal for everyone involved.

    So frustrating because he is so good but can be relied on.

    That will be me last we see him till the new year.

    so annoying for the big man as he's a real class act. Really hope celtic can get some specialists involved here and iron out these injury troubles once and for all.

    It's got to have something to do with the fact his legs are absolute twigs. So skinny.

    He didnt look fit from the start last night. Just didnt seem comfortable in my opinion. Big loss though as fully fit he is a reliable and steady player who brings much needed experience to the side.

    Seen on SSN earlier that Celtic are still assessing the injury.

    By the look on his face I think he'll be out for months again.

    He'll be out now, so we need a replacement. No wonder he was greeting, it's a horrible injury and looking at two months rehab is no fun. It's a real shame, but even though you could predict it would happen, their was no real plan in place for it actually happening as you could see by the time it's taken to get him off the pitch.

    He's gone now and i think you have to look at bringing someone in quickly and their are plenty of defenders knocking around looking for a deal. I'd be looking through the lists of players from the French or Italian leagues for maybe an older defender, but one that could see us through until Christmas.

    Really hope it's not as bad as it looked but the big fella was definitely broken up about it so I'm expecting the worst unfortunately. * shame as a confident Lustig with a good run of games under his belt is massive asset for us. Wish him a speedy recovery.

    Could we have? How do you know that? I don't want any player here that isn't 100% committed to the club, and this guy was our second choice right back. Matthews obviously has more experience but from what I've seen of Janko he looks like he is (or can be) every bit as good. Good business for all involved.

    Ronny Deila says Mikael Lustig injury not as bad as feared. Has a chance for Malmo game next Tuesday.

    Wow.
