    He has in my opinion. I don't see how you can drop Ntcham just now. I feel confident that we are going dominate the midfield when he plays. So strong and has a lot of quality as well. Christie has been fantastic this season, Ntcham is the better player in my opinion though and right now, the jersey is his to lose. Players coming back are keeping everyone on their toes, and it's showing in the performances.

    Played well, but what a miss, although I did see the ball bobble in the replay.

    While he did spray some lovely weighted and accurate passes, he did punt a few out of the park.
    Right now, starting to come onto a game. Think he is more suited to a more central role than a right sided one.

    Don't see him losing his place in the team any time soon.

    McGregor Ntcham Christie midfield 3 would be superb attacking wise, so much talent to chose from.

    Ntcham and Christie fighting for a start is brilliant, 2 class players.

    Good player & we could see Lennon liked him right from the off. I do think he needs to add more goals to his game.

    We should be seeing this a lot but we have to play Brown all the time apparently. I understand that he is integral to Celtic but he's getting on and we need to make him last.

    Can play the

    #6 deep lying role
    #8 box to box role
    #10 playmaker

    as @Gyp Rosetti said on his day he is the best complete midfielder in Scotland!

    brining consistency to his game now. Still got 3 years of his deal left come summer keeps it up he will get his move!

    goes to show good man management skills can beat a name!

    Consistency of performance is making him very, very, difficult to ignore.

    He has improved but he's still the 4th best midfielder at Celtic. Christie covers more ground, puts in more tackles, scores more and assists more - for overall contribution there's no comparison.

    That's more about consistency rather than maximum ability.

    Christie's numbers speak for themselves, he contributes far more on average to the team but in terms of him playing at his absolute best v Ntcham at his best; it's Oli. He can do it all.

    Which is partly why it's been so frustrating for so many, to watch him bumble through the majority of his time at Celtic in 2nd gear.
