    Aye, and so would a lot of other people if they didn't have to work 40 hours a week and had the luxury of sponging off a footballer's wage.

    Maybe shouldn't be saying anything because she does read the forums, tweeted a post of a guy from KDS before that didn't have very nice things to say about her!

    I hope he remains at the club for the rest of his natural life. What he does after that I'm not fussed.

    A few rumors saying that he wants to be at Celtic for the long haul. Take them with a pinch of salt.

    Commons could play on longer than the next three years imho. He lacks pace and towards the end that will actually be of benefit.

    Ps.. He is one of my fave players since the MON era, fantastic buy.

    Been a top signing for us. Great form over the last 18 months. Also seems a smart guy, and a bit of a leader. He often seems to be the voice of the team.

    I'm still not keen on how heavily we rely on him. Last season we relied on his creativity far too much, this season it's his goals. Need a few others to pick up their game.

    TBF from what I gather she actually was earning more than him when he was still on a youth contract, they've been together for ages and she held a normal job as a teacher before they moved up to Scotland. I think you're a fair bit off the mark with your opinion of her.

    Commons scored 14 goals between January-May 2011 and 15 between August-December 2013.

    He is still as good a goalscorer as he was when he first signed.

    I think it'll be a toss up between Commons and Van Dijk for player of the year. 16 in 26 this season- excellent. What a player.

    running out of superlatives for him.

    That shot that hit the post in the first half was outrageous, how he wrapped his foot around that I'll never know.

    His little flick into the path of Mulgrew as well, sublime.

    51 goals for a supposed midfield player in just under 3 years.

    £300k too, best buy since Henrik in my opinion.

    Really hope he ends his career here and we get another 6-7 years out of him, he would easily surpass the 100 goal mark.

    One of those seasons was an absolute stinker where he only scored 1 as well :56:

    I`ve been criticial of Commons on a number of occasions, more out of frustration as we know what he`s capable of and doesn`t show all the time. Has been the difference in the last few games. Great wee lay-off for Mulgrew in the 1st half today and a really good finish for the 4th goal as well.

    Long may it continue.

    Brilliant today. Unlucky not to bag himself another hattrick.

    I thought he was fading just before he scored his first, then upped his game again. Fantastic wee player.
