    Was surprised that he got hooked after an hour, given how well he was playing and we were only 2-0 up at the time.
    Is he not fully match fit or did BR just tell him to empty the tank??

    was superb on Sunday. The guy covered every part of the pitch, and tackle/stole the ball from them so many times I lost count. Running onto the pitch to lift Calmac when he scored summed him up for me.

    Love this wee fella already.

    Brilliant situation to be in, having to pick 3 from an awesome 4. for the midfield starting positions.

    As long as we pick on merit, it’s a slight niggle of a worry for me that Bernardo got subbed for Engels when for me he was the best midfielder we had on the pitch up till then. Engels Rodgers will want on the pitch, we’ve shelled that money out for him. Bernardo is an easy option to keep as more than reliable back up squad man for that, but when he’s stepping up, and Hatate wasn’t then it should be Hatate making way and told if he doesn’t want to be the one making way step up into O’Riley’s shoes. But Hatate is more than capable of it, Bernardo I think is as well, Engels is a record signing for a reason so the manager see’s it in him. But it needs proven to play.

    Much like Kyogo and Idah who are in a straight scrap for main man up there.

    For me, he showed enough last year that he was going to be the next O’Riley. Perfect bedding in process ready to start and dominate in our midfield this year. He’s a Rolls Royce of a midfielder.

    We need to be careful that we don’t wear out our relationship. Keep having their pants down and they won’t be loaning to buy any of their players. Any time we show interest in one of their players they’ll keep them for themselves :56:

    Hahaha very true. The next player we try to sign from them will probably get put straight into the starting 11 for Benfica :56:

    Embarrassing when we signed Jota my initial reaction was Celtic shouldn’t be signing a player not good enough for Benfica :52:
