Stuart Armstrong

Stretch is saying, "* off Christie I'm trying to get to GMS!"

 

Na Nir is the odd one out here Gaz pushing Nir out the way.

 

One of these players who has developed his game this season in the heat of Champions League action is Stuart Armstrong, one half of a formidable midfield partnership with Scott Brown. "Sometimes you’ve got to bide your time and Stuart has done that and been unbelievable when he’s got his chance," said Brown. "He’s doing my running for me and it’s about time someone did it! He seems to be getting better and better and I’m sure he’s got a nice little collection of champagne to show for it as well.”

Armstrong famously did a law degree in his spare time and Brown joked that the two midfielders represent something of an odd couple. “Aye, he reads and I cannae! He studies law and I’ve been in trouble too so he can bail me out! No, it’s a good sidekick to have. He’s one of the first names on the teamsheet and it’s great for us having him and Tom Rogic pushing on from midfield and scoring goals. I get to do all their dirty work."

 

Beat me to it crow, ya bas!

 

By 8 hours?

 

I'm sure Crow must consist of about 15 different accounts that trawl the internet for Celtic stuff.

You can never get there before him.

Only joking, some man Crow!

 

I was asleep ya * First thing I seen this morning on Facebook... Crow moves fast!

 

Tom Boyd on Armstrong


“He had that in abundance, but the quality of his displays [have improved].

“He’s also starting to show composure in front of goal, getting goals, because he seems to be finding himself in those areas because of the energy level.

“He’s one of those Duracell bunnies that just goes non-stop.”

 

our next captain???

 

Far too soon for chat like that. He has had a couple of good months.

Long way to go to even establish himself as a first team player never mind him being Captain.

 

Mental how far he has come this year best player in the team at the moment

 

Really has started to turn his Celtic career around since the 5-1 Sevco game. A bit to go yet, mind you.

 

That's back to back appearances in the SPL team of the week for Stu

#Brown: “Me and Stu [Armstrong] are slightly different characters – he reads and I cannae. He does law and I’ve been in trouble too, so he can bail me out. It’s a good sidekick to have. He’s one of the first names on the teamsheet and he’s scoring goals every week, it’s great for us having him and Tom Rogic pushing on from midfield and scoring goals and I get to do all their dirty work, which is lovely. Sometimes people get caught out of position and the good thing about the three of us is that we work hard for each other and we can all push on or sit when required. We’ve got a good little trio going in there. Stuart’s been fantastic. His running ability is just unbelievable. He’s doing my running for me and it’s about time someone done it. He’s been great in the Champions League and he’s been great in the Premiership – hopefully it will be the same against City. He seems to be getting better and better and I’m sure he’s got a nice little collection of champagne to show for it as well. Sometimes you’ve got to bide your time and Stuart has done that and been unbelievable when he’s got his chance. When you come to Celtic and there are people like Stefan Johansen playing in front of you, it’s hard to shift them from that jersey so he had to take his chance wherever he got it. Last year it was out on the left or out on the right or wherever, and now I think he’s shown that he’s a No.10 or a No.8. He can get on the ball, drive forward and score goals but he can also do the dirty work going back as well. He was outstanding at the weekend – up the park one minute and then sliding in to win the ball at the back the next, and he’s brought composure to his game. He looks like the full package at the minute.”

Seen this on facebook. That sums up every reason that Armstrong is playing and Bitton isn't.

 

Interesting comments from Broony..

"His running ability is just unbelievable. He's doing my running for me and it's about time someone done it"..

We could all see how alone he was in with Bitton. No wonder Broony's playing with a smile on his face..

 

Well said Broony.

 

Nice comment for Armstrong but it's a bit of a kick in the balls for bitton.

 

* Bitton..
