    I agree he has potential but we shouldn’t be pinning our hopes on him, that would be unfair. Also if I was NL he’d get his chance and if he portrayed the same attitude as some of the others then why would you play him??? This is Celtic!!!! Not some * 2nd rate * club!!! Stand up and be counted, that’s all I ask.

    The lack of real width has been an issue this season, even if both do tend to want to cut in at times - but definitely noticable the lack of options out wide.

    Skinned his man twice with * ease..

    We've massively missed that pace, trickery and directness from the wide position's..

    Frightening how easy he can go by people.

    Good to see he hasn’t lost any of his sharpness.

    Will make a massive difference to the team.

    Delighted he’s back. Had a couple moments aswell in that few minutes he was on. Must of been practising free hits while he was getting upto full speed, looked well keen to take that FK but Christie fancied just hitting a shot high and wide as usual...

    Exciting talent, as many have said his ability to take a man on & beat him more often than not is exceptional, has definitely bulked up a bit too in his time on the sidelines too.

    Fast, skillful & can finish, need to get him up to speed for Ibrox, with Forrest out (who rarely turns up against Sevco anyway) he should play RW with Elyounoussi at LW, team in the build up to Ibrox should look something like this...

    Hazard
    Ajer Jullien Bitton Laxalt
    Soro CalMac (C)
    Johnston Turnbull Elyounoussi
    Eddy

    Jullien & Bitton were the partnership that won at Ibrox last season, Duffy is better in the air than Bitton but not on the deck, we can't be giving away possession needlessly which I feel Duffy does too often. Laxalt is better than Taylor imo although Taylor is a decent player in a back four. If we can sign a GK for Ibrox then hopefully we can get Forster back because I'd be feeling a lot more confident in that scenario.

    I think that team, especially with players like Rogic, Christie, Ntcham, Griffiths, Ajeti, Klimala etc as sub options can get the win we need to get our 10IAR chase back on track.

    Played very well, and had major stones to take a penalty. Elyounoussi could be rested- Mikey looks like a good rotation.

    Straight back in and shows glimpses..

    Put a lot of senior's to shame by stepping up for that penalty..

    He doesn't surprise me though..

    Needs to start the next game. Looked more threatening in his first 10 mins than the other attackers the rest of the game.

    Balls of steel to take that penalty as well.

    Went by more people today in extra time than Elyounoussi did the full time he was on.

    Love this wee *. Said it time and time again, he's a gallus, cocky wee *. Exactly what we need, the way he can commit and ghost past players.

    Brilliant player, so happy he’s back.

    Should be starting games from here on in, no excuses.

    Would like to see him on the right to see if he can offer more than Christie and Frimpong.
