    The problem I have is people are acting like he was being arrogant with the penalty. Players take penalties that way for a reason. Poor penalty aye, my biggest issue is why he took it to begin with, not the way he took it

    Massive, massive, stewards enquiry into that shambles at the end.

    If he’s taken it off Juranovic he should be fined, if it was predetermined he was the designated pen taker then why did he put his hand up when clearly he doesn’t have the confidence to put them away. A powderpuff pish attempt the goalie barely even looked like trying to save.

    He’s tried ridiculous overhead kicks in each of the last three games.

    The penalty was ridiculous and it’s clear he’s style over substance.

    When he took the ball I was shouting at the telly where the * is Juranovic?? Big moment in the season- we needed to tuck that away. The thing is Juranovic has taken a few penalties very cool and well in the Europa. Why didn't he take it? I am still numb at that miss.

    My main objection to him was that he didn't get physical with their defenders, barring that one attempt at a kick where he walloped one defender by accident. Could do with better movement in the box when we have the ball in wide areas.

    Regarding the penalty- I was not against him taking it, thinking that his experience for Venlo should mean he'd score, despite the poor game he's had. Now, I look like a fool, and he looks like a bigger fool.

    Blew it, if he wanted to be our main striker he's * it today.
    If he cant hold his nerve to score us a penalty against * livingston then he's not gonna make it at celtic.
    Dembele scored a 92nd minute winner from the spot against astana and that was for his FIRST goal.

    Agree. Can't be judged on his first real start. Lots for him to work on though.

    After having had a dreadful performance, no way should he have been allowed to take that spot kick, just knew by his body language that he was off his game.

    You usually take the one stepper for a more accuracy, whenever I took them they were side netting type penalties, looks like he bottled it and fluffed the attempt, no power the keeper caught the ball ffs... lol
