    I like the ease with which Maede cuts to the left (when playing RW)
    Seems to be more effective compare to when he's playing on the left.

    Yeah and also palma looks very effective coming in off the left whether it’s shooting or putting in dangerous balls

    Not even on bench... surely not injured again

    Hasn't been on the bench domestically all season. Read Rodgers comments on him. He couldn't make it any more obvious he's not in his plans.

    I wonder would you have thought scales was in rodgers plans a couple of months ago, while he's at the club and making squads he's not that far out of the managers mind

    This is what the 3rd year he's been on his final chance ? He needs to be gone

    The difference is Scales has came in due to injuries taking his chance and deserves to be there.
    Johnston had had numerous chances and has never looked good enough.

    Even with so few wingers, and up until recently none really standing out Johnston hasn't been given a chance and as I already pointed out Rodgers has specifically been asked about him twice now and on both occasions he's not sounded very positive about him

    Johnston had looked good enough previously, it's not his ability that's in doubt, it's his durability. If he can stay injury free for a prolonged period I'm sure we will see him getting game time, he could do a scales and finally size that chance or it could go the other way but the fact he's still there at all suggests to me he may yet have a part to play

    If we can get some money for him, then let him go to the English minor leagues.

    He's still here bcoz as per usual he was injured when the window was open.
    He had a very brief spell about 4 years ago when he looked decent he's been * * since then. Some of his performances under Ange were brutal

    I’ve never disliked a Celtic player as much as him. I don’t know what it is - he’s utter * for a start, but he comes across as an arrogant little * as well.

    Get rid.

    I don't think he was as bad as others are saying, but he wasn't great.

    The fact we're bringing him on to help win the game shows how pish our depth is.

    Folk still want to give this imposter a chance, I’m certain it’s a giant wind up at this point. He’s never been good enough, not even close.
