    He's playing well, very composed on the ball which helps at centre-back although he is still poor when someones running at him with the ball he doesnt know wether to back off or attack them and often does neither. He's decent enough in the air though didnt think the huns worried him too much in the air.

    Majstrorovic isnt the quickest at the best of times but today he looked like he didnt even want to try and run must still be half injured.

    I thought Charlie Mulgrew was fairly poor yesterday. He's been good lately though so I'll cut him some slack.

    Rogne is going to find it hard to get his place back with the way this lad is playing at the moment, he should never be used as a LB again.

    Mulgrew was solid again today. He's great at challenging for the ball and composed enough to play it out from the back. Doesn't hit the panic button either.

    To be honest I thought Rogne should have started. Glad I was proved wrong.
    We have a new centre back. Great performance today.

    Mulgrew should easily keep his position in the squad at CB.
    Played outstanding today :50:

    Terrific shift today. Have been impressed by how he has adjusted to playing CB. A real asset to the squad.

    I've been harsh on Mulgrew, I must say I thought he was faultless today.

    I think he looks very frail defensively at left-back because he has to contribute a lot more offensively. He looked a little shaky in the last Old Firm up against Jelavic but he handled everything expertly today. I think it's party because he is allowed to concentrate on the defensive side to his game at CB, which actually - seems as if it's not as bad as it has looked when he's played LB.

    He's slowly growing on me, more of the same please Mulgrew.

    Mulgrew was great today AGAIN
    what a bargain centre half
    mediocre centre halfs in premiership cost upwards of £20m and we get mulgrew for SFA.
    Mulgrew doesn't get injured as easily as rogne. Rogne will stuggle to get back in the team that's for sure.

    Fantastic shift today again from Charlie.

    Once Rogne is fit, I'd be happy to play them both.

    Madge did well today though.

    Mulgrew wins a lot of headers, as does Rogne - Madge doesn't win enough in the air to give me confidence in him as a 1st starter.

    Really glad for Charlie, another very composed performance today, him and Majstorovic seem to be working very well together. I say until he makes mistakes keep him in the team.

    Great today - not just on the deck, but winning challenges in the air.

    I was very much a critic of Charlie's at LB.

    But I'm gradually coming to suspect that we may just have ourselves a quality, 6-foot-3, ball-playing centre back, with a wand of a left foot, who can get us playing football right from our own penalty box.

    What a feckin result that would be. :50:
