    Deserves it. Starting 3 games in 7 days after not playing for 15 months is some going, especially after the week we've had off the field.

    Pretty much the perfect squad player. Seems to love it here, never causes a fuss, seems well liked in the dressing room, can cover CB/CM and got plenty of experience too. Probably deserves an extension.

    Playing very well and showing some 'dig'
    Always liked the big lad and some of the abuse he got on here was totally OTT.

    Great player to have around the squad.

    Really impressed last 2 games. I expected him to be pish due to being out for ages, but he's been great. Dribbling improved even, he use used to be poor under pressure, but several times he has shown ability to dribble past the press.

    NB: When you have an injury like this, it's easy to get down about it. Thankfully the medical staff here kept me positive I could return."

    NB: "Everyone at the club, and my family, were very supportive for me was part of my rehab. It has been helpful to be around."

    NB on being away from a winning squad: "When you're part of a club like Celtic, you always want to win the trophies and be part of it. I was excited to be back on the pitch and see the Bhoys."


    NB on Neil Lennon: "He’s a big character and someone you look up to and really respect. You need your managers to be like that and we'll do everything we can as a squad to make him successful."

    Not required for games like today, if at all. Very poor.

    The fact he'll be straight back out the team when others are fit tells you all you need to know about him.

    Yes their passing styles are far too similar. There is lack of creativity with them both playing in central midfield.

    Absolutely * stinking! Brown who wasn’t exactly great today may aswell have been in there himself. But he’s a ledge for eating a McDonald’s. :87:

    Brutal today, him and Brown play the same, so pointless having them play together. He should of been off at half time instead of Henderson.

    He’s done really well the last two games considering his lack of game time.. but was poor today.

    Had to play him though, there’s no other options.

    McGregor, Christie, Ntcham & Rogic.. all back for the run in and all should be eager to make an impactive.

    Didn't really like him much before but I thought he won a lot of balls today and retained possession when asked to. Don't know why everyone thought he was * today. Brown on the other hand was * awful today. I agree though playing both of them together makes little sense.

    You watched it online didn’t you? If you where in the stadium you would’ve seen him being a lazy *. He also shat himself in a tackle which should’ve seen him hooked straight away. The guy is ok playing sideways and when we have a lead, but when the going gets tough he is better on the bench or in the stands.
