    Outstanding today. Can see his confidence growing game by game.

    Showed a lot more composure today and turned people in our own half a few times. Second half he really came into his own.

    Rodgers praising him after the game but saying he needs to work on his passing and ball retention, will come with experience.

    Would 100% start him against dundee. Question is him or lustig against the huns? Depending on how he plays vs dundee i'd start him saturday, they don't have a proper left winger.

    Aye, as you'd expect, he had a few slack passes/clearances but like you said, that will improve with time and more games.

    Was just coming here to post the same thing, Ralston or Lustig for Saturday? I'd maybe go for Lustig just cause he has experience at Ibrox. Definitely start Ralston against Dundee.

    I'd be delighted with that.

    The passion this bhoy would bring to the Sevco game would be utterly delightful.

    Would send that fartyarse * right up in the air.

    In fact, I'd be sticking a cheeky £5r on him scoring at the * pit!

    I'd prefer we Had Simunovic and Boyata as the centre backs and either Lustig or Ralston right back but if he keeps up this form it will be hard to leave him out, lets see how he does against Dundee.

    Is Boyata still injured?

    He is a very passionate lhad .. playing him at Ibrokes could be a risk if he cannot control his passion.
    IF the game were at Celtic Park i would have no hesitation about playing him. This game at Ibrokes is
    probably better suited to starting Lustig and bringing young Ralston on later in the game if we are cruising

    But in saying that, if Brendan wants to play him from the start then i will be very happy for the young man

    I wouldn't throw Boyata straight in, I really like him but I wouldn't trust him after a lengthy injury to come straight back in.

    Yeah is similar to when KT broke through, solid defensively, great attitude and loves to get in about it not scared of who they go up against. But not calm in possesion at the back then missing passes or just lumping it up the pitch.

    He just needs to watch how much KT improved that side of his game.

    Tony also looks good going forward, can take on players and has decent pace, can cross well and obviously a goal threat.

    Great game, I was critical of him before for not getting forward enough and playing too safe always passing backwards but I did like him against PSG, he got tore in and played with confidence then today he was excellent and getting forward a lot, taking players on and his fitness levels are superb for an 18 year old probably done more running than anyone.

    Very promising for him if he has got over the early nerves of not wanting to make a mistake and looking comfortable this quick, actually quite similar to Tierney who's first 4/5 appearances were really quiet then he just turned to quality overnight and never looked back.
