    His worst game so far for us tonight, think conditions might have played a big part in it though for a player like him.

    We see now why strachan hasn't called him or Armstrong into Scotland squad.
    They very average players and do job in spl but not good enough for Europe. They might have odd good game but they be average rest of the time

    Bit harsh.

    Didn't go for him tonight. Him and Armstrong should have got about a dozen fouls between them if the ref was interested.

    Yes poor tonight however I think he has contributed more than Armstrong in his time here, not convinced with Armstrong one bit.

    You took from that game tonight why Strachan doesn't call them into the Scotland squad?

    They did as much as Brown did. The environment wasn't conducive to free flowing brilliant football. They gutted it out the same as everyone else.

    These guys are coming from unsuccessful Dundee Utd team.
    They nvr finished second or win any cups.
    They all average players. Same as ciftci.

    Very harsh on him. Could see he was frustrated. Worked his socks off.

    They been poor whole season so far.
    Gms look ok in mean less friendies but the four important games he looked very poor. Can't blame pitch as Celtic park is good pitch and he was rubbish.
    He couldn't get by his man like Forrest did.

    You are talking nonsense.

    Unfortunately it's not good enough to work hard anyone (relatively speaking) can get fit and run about, these boys GMS, Armstrong and Ciftici, have to offer more than just effort or they should not be at Celtic.
    p.s. I like GMS I think he has been the best out of the three of them but we have not seen much quality from either of them over a sustained period.

    I rate gms but thought he was poor tonight,seems to get a lot less slack from our support than Forrest.Forrest looked far more dangerous when he came on,imo

    GMS was brilliant at the San siro iirc. Armstrong played well tonight.

    I loved him towards the end of season, however in every competitive game this season he has looked completely out of his depth.

    Forrest was better for the few minutes he was on. That says a lot on GMS' performance. Was really poor. Running into players, kept giving away the ball cheaply, not able to hold up the ball. Basically he played like Forrest.

    GMS worked hard. It just didn't happen to be his day tonight. I generally like his play and better days will be here again.:50:

    GMS was incredible at the San Siro. Was unlucky last night ref was appalling everytime he got hacked down he waved play on!! Am sure fitness plays a part with skillful players like him.when he did get the ball he was isolated a lot so I have no doubt the boy will improve. There was a lot of pressure on the players last night too which showed
