    Hes been a disaster,i never thought he was great in the first place and wasnt that excited when he came to us but he,s been worst than i imagined.

    I do think how ever he can improve,can we afford to wait?probable not but i wouldnt be surprised to see him go elsewhere and do better,its a pity really as he seems to have the passion and desire to do well for us but his ability is limited.

    Which is basically what 99.99% of our supporters would bring to the team.

    I do believe hes good enough, but mentally he cant do it for celtic. Hes an actual fan and the pressure is to much for him imo.

    Hes also too rough to play against those diving *. Theyll be flopping about like fish when he comes near them and hes not got the ability to deal with cheats. Hope he has a good birthday and doesnt get the chance to prove me wrong :56:

    The big mans had a tough time of it over the past ten years, at only 19 he had to have life saving surgery after a collision with another player. I was amazed to read that only recently and to think he’s continued playing, that takes some metal.

    Only 6 months ago his pops passed away at 53 years young, can’t imagine the pain the lad must still be going through.

    At 29, he’s still in his prime, he not showed his best for us yet but to be fair, he came in when we hit a monumental low but I’m still hopeful we’ll see the best of him soon. He’s revered in the Prem and in the Irish National Team as a commanding defender, tomorrow isn’t his day but I believe he’ll play a vital part for the rest of the season, even when he’s not on the pitch, after all, he’s a fan and a leader.

    Sorry to break it to you all, but I think it's a stick-on Duffy starts the morra. Especially if Julien is out. If it were me it would be Ajer at RB and Julien Duffy at CB. If Julien is out it's Duffy and Ajer with Frimpong at RB. Duffys aerial presence is too big an asset to leave out I'm afraid. So get behind the guy you bunch of moaning faced * :67:

    If Jullien is out tomorrow, it should be Bitton or Welsh starting instead.

    If they are unavailable, then and only then will it have to be Hoopy the Hound.

    Not yet my man. Are you? Your judgement appears to have been clouded by a wee emotional Instagram video.

    ‘Heartbreaking man, hes been through so much and he’s a good Irish bhoy, he’s lucky to still be alive never mind playing football, get him in the Sellick team HH’

    On par with rolling out historical examples of harassment and abuse NL has suffered, as reasons not to sack him.

    Sentiment FC, win absolutely * all.

    He’s very clearly just not very good. Not even a knock on him, he’s just a very limited player. Even the physical side of his game, where he’s meant to excel, isn’t particularly good.

    Brown and Duffy just can't play together in any game, particularly when they are covering the same section of the pitch. Just lacks any legs whatsoever.

    Might be interested to see how he plays with Soro infront along with Jullien and Ajer beside.

    Definitely a good player from what I've seen of him before, although that means nothing to Celtic if it cannot be replicated in the Celtic jersey/
