    He's never too far off with his shooting, he's getting there.

    Energetic and fits into what we're trying to achieve well.

    He whipped in a few quality balls and his overall contribution was good. Does not justify a starting eleven place however. He needs to show more if he is to play on the left for us especially when Stokes and Forrest often are the ones to make way for him. Needs to nail down that spot but so far he is miles away from where he needs to be but paradoxically I quite like him as he is a solid if unspectacular option.

    I think he'll slowly turn into a Joe Ledley type player for us. Good engine, can play in a number of positions, hard working and can pop up with an assist/goal now and again.

    Never does anything spectacular but still young and alot of developing to do.

    Seen something elsewhere that fans were encouraged to report swearing at the actual match under this offensive behaviour bill.

    Are they actually trying to kill the game in this country?

    Knowing the rugby loving SNP that is probably a rhetorical question.

    I don't think saying Armstrong has been * all season comes under the "wee *" banner.

    although there is plenty of roasters on Twatter.

    What is he hoping to achieve by posting that nonsense on a tweet giving information to fans about what the starting 11 is?

    Attention seeking idiot. Type of thing you read on here but at least on here you are encouraged to converse about Celtic in more than 140 characters.

    It's the official Celtic twitter, that sort of stuff is probably said all the time.

    It's only been highlighted because they answered him back for swearing.

    On Twitter roasterness scale that is far far down the list.

    He has been * all season, lets be fair.

    People are allowed an opinion.

    There's a time and a place to voice your allowed opinions.

    The replies to the Official Club Account are a complete and utter riddy, that's just an example. Johansen has taken vile abuse in the same kind of places.

    The time is coming when these clowns won't feel as anonymous as they currently do.

    He certainly can be better but I think he's done not bad, overall, this season; the one thing that is letting him down is his shooting which is weird because he's got good technique and has score some peaches before in his career. If he gets his shooting sorted he'd be far more dangerous as he does everything else well, mostly. Linking the play, cutting in, getting into good positions, etc.

    I wouldn't say "Armstrong has been * all season" is vile abuse though.

    Somoe of the * directed at Johansen the other day was out of order, mainly because it was an "ask Stefan" Q&A so the odds of him seeing it were quite high.

    That innocuous post by that guy would have been lost in the ether was it not for Celtic drawing attention to it.

    He has been * this season still.

    Man the * up. I take worse on here and I dont get 15k a week for the pleasure. I like Stuart Armstrong but he has been poor for most of the season and to be truthful he does not deserve to start for Celtic. He needs to get his act together and if he doesnt like hearing it then maybe the step up was too much for him. He needs to go out and nail down that spot instead of phoning in his performances. Granted he is not a left winger but still I expect better from him.

    Carried a back injury most of the season, but last night showed what he can & he looked comfortable in sitting midfield next to McGregor. His shooting does need to improve, plenty of goals and assists in his game. Can never fault him for his effort as well, never goes hiding.

    Would love for him to come good but just don't rate him. We can't win with them all.

    Just doesn't seem a player with much ability at all regardless of position.

    Is that true?

    Maybe he shouldn't have been playing then.
