    Same here, start the big man and spring Maeda for last half hour with that pace.

    Is that the one just inside the box?

    I willed him to go down but was then impressed that he didn't. He was well clattered so had every right to fall - and how could it not be a penalty?

    But at the risk of sounding like a sanctimonious old * (even more so), I don't want Celtic players to go down when they really do keep their feet. We're beyond that.

    That said, a foul's a foul. GG was knocked heavily off his stride with a barge to the back, in the box, that should be a penalty but he didn't go down so...

    I won't complain too loudly. I was amazed the ref didn't point to the spot for O'Riley's clumsy challenge.

    Delighted for him. Can see how much that goal meant to him after coming so close in recent games.

    Thought he was decent today..

    Should've had an assist that Rogic never gambled on
    Great run wrongly flagged off
    Should've scored that one off the bar but was already called off
    Nice finish that he waited til their keeper had committed..

    Pleased that he got the goal but I honestly didn't think he was that good. I appreciate his grafting but for me he falls over way too much and is just a bit untidy overall.

    Definitely stepped it up a few levels since the winter break. Still really missing Kyogo though

    It's quite funny, I feel like Giakoumakis should have started against Aberdeen and Maeda should have started today, both games didn't really suit either striker tbh.

    Thought he was ok but was a smart finish from him, waited for the keeper to come out before slotting it home. Think he'll make a big difference on Wednesday.

    played well and scored a good goal, 3 goals now in 6 since the winter break i think so thats not too bad, its the same as Maeda.

    Really warming to him. Puts in a shift but needs to be a bit more clinical.

    Think he will be a samaras for us were even when he has good gAmes there will still be a lot of negatives from sections of the fans , theres 100% a pler there and he offers us so much difference to what we have had for a while.
