    Should have buried the chance he got. Think he was arguably our best player against Gladbach.

    Should have cut it back to dembele in the middle. It was the obvious and better option.

    That said he is every bit on fire as dembele is and can't blame him for taking the shot. Fair play for trying it and he looked good again when we did manage to get the ball out to him. Him and dembele crossing over a lot.

    I don't think the cut back was ever really on. He should have at the very least hit the target.

    I don't think the chance was as clear cut as it seemed.

    He had to sprint to get on the end of it and the angle was quite narrow by that stage.

    Cut back wasn't there, Dembele was only in space after he had hit the shot.

    He definitely had time for a touch though, was in acres of space.

    Yeah he should of opened his body and hit it with his right across the keeper, when the ball runs across your body like that it's hard to control the shot. Easy to criticise when watching though since it happens so quickly.

    Was so disappointed in him last night when he didn't take that chance. I really expect a lot from this guy but the expectation comes from the fact I think he's really good.

    Should have buried that chance, in all candour he took it on his weaker foot but still in these type of matches they type of chances have to be taken

    I think him and KT would benefit greatly from a Joe Ledley type in midfield. He'd plug that gap when they get forward.

    Bring back Joe Ledley would be a good shout

    Agree with this...when i saw it again there were 2 defenders there and 1 quite close to Dembele. It was far from obvious. Another night he hits that shot and at least makes the keeper work. Thing is, if he had being more in the game (not his fault) and had more touches up to then it might have changed his decision making...i.e. taken another touch!

    I also think he should have really taken that shot on his strong right foot. He had plenty of time.

    Not his finest hour in a Celtic jersey, but the guy has been excellent for us in just about every game he's played, he's been a terrific signing.

    It's a shame we got so dominated in midfield last night because I would have liked to have seen the kind of problems Scotty and Dembele could have caused their defence. I think those two could cause any defence problems if they see enough of the ball, especially when we're playing at home.

    Had zero midfield support and when the ball got passed to him he was just bullied off the ball. The team just felt too passive. What the * happened?

    They done their homework and had 2/3 men him and Rogic anytime the ball went anywhere near him. Still made some very good runs in behind but he couldn't get us up the pitch like he has been doing in Europe for us.

    Bottled the chance before halftime. Showed absolutely zero composure or awareness.
