    Aye.

    I think I've watched that about 50 times. Don't see too many tackles like that anymore. Simunovic's was another belter in the lead up to the winner.

    Could do with a GIF of that.

    Around 28:15 in here. He is fast becoming one of my favourite players. Big, quiet, Croat!

    Forrest as well, breaking his neck to either be in place for the pass or to cover Stretch if he missed the tackle.

    Every single player knows what their job is and they are prepared to run through brick walls to make sure they do that job.

    Fantastic.

    I loved when Roberts scored his header, Armstrong turned to the crowd and pumped his hands out, you can tell he loves celebrating with the supporters

    He's really sort of come out of his shell. Just full of confidence.

    Long may it continue.

    There was an article in the summer about him openly admitting he struggled with the demands during his first year.

    Rodgers has obviously put an arm around his shoulder and given him freedom to go out and enjoy his football. In saying that he was still below par at the beginning of the season. It's only in the past month and a bit he has really kicked on and taken his chance.

    It also helps that he is being played in his correct position.

    Scott Brown went through his fair share of troubles during his early career here. Not saying they are entirely comparable but hopefully Armstrong can continue to develop and settle.

    I think you hit the nail on the head about him getting a run now in his best position in the middle of the park. Great to see him get such an important goal today he deserved it after such a superb performance. Yet another player who under Brendan Rodgers is flourishing after been a bit hit and miss previously.

    Seen someone compare his recent performances to Stan Petrov and I'd agree with that. There's defo flashes in his game that remind me of Stan.

    I wanted the guy out the door, so to see him turn it around and put his marker down, I'll happily eat the humble pie I've been served:84:

    That tackle was immense. Made another few good ones but that was the pick of the bunch. Just shows the improvement recently, last season we wouldn't have seeing that from him or earlier this season.

    1 goal and 2 assists. Long it may it continue Stu!!

    Hit a nice bit of form, fair * to him. For me he's still not the answer if we want to progress, especially in Europe, but happy to see him in the team on current form. Thoroughly deserved.

    The thing that Armstrong, and McGregor, offer is that they brake the conventional lines, they run in behind. Something that is so crucial when up against a deep, solid defensive block.

    I see the comparison with Petrov above, not on the same level on a technical scale, but I understand where that comes from.

    Stan is one player I don't think we ever replaced, one of my favourite Celts.
