    I’ve reported this post mate. You’ve clearly been hacked.

    You don’t need to thank me.

    Thought given the circumstances, he was outstanding.

    Confident on the ball and not scared to mix it.

    I thought he played well, especially for a debut

    I thought he was excellent as well. Some character to be put into that game an play the way he did. I like Jura but he's got his work cut out if he doesn't have a move liked up.

    Pretty much as I expected today. By no means guaranteed a start, but had a sneaky feeling he would, and had visions of him getting tore right in if he did.

    Will be a Celtic great 100%.

    Thought he was excellent. Tough circumstances and a lack of understanding down that side with Forrest, but defensively sound and looked to bomb on. Good signs.

    Don't blame him for the Kent goal.

    Thought he played well but was poor at their first goal he got dragged inside when he didn’t need to be. When Sakala got away from Juranovic, Kent was his only real option and Johnston should have cut that passing lane off.

    The nearest guy to the middle was Kamara who was nearer the half way line than the edge of our box. That aside I thought he looked decent.

    A bit slow on the ball on occasion but to be expected getting used to a new team and team mates. I did like his physicality he looked strong in the tackle and in the air. I am not sure I thought he looked quick as others said though.

    I think longer term he will make us more defensively solid but think he will be more a Taylor who helps out in build up with his passing than his ball carrying.

    Tough game to make a debut and did fairly well but think there’s a lot getting carried away here.

    About as good a debut he could make in one of our tougher games and some of the squad struggling for fitness, I don't think he was amazing but then I wouldn't expect him to be in his first game, getting him in early last month and training with the team will have been huge for him today instead of just being dropped in it, and he should improve as he gets more used to his role in the system.

    Looks a solid signing that will fit into the team nicely.

    Came across very well in the post match interview. Could give a few of the team media lessons.

    I am non plussed. Lacked any sort of creativity moving forward.

    Can't beat a man, no wicked crosses is slow and played conservatively sideways or backwards first.

    Defence was mixed. Some good, some bad.

    On that performance I prefer Tony Ralston.

    Won't write him off yet. There might be more in him. Lovely chap to talk and listen to, make a decent son in law or cousin to root for.

    A bit like dancing with your sister, fun in its own kind of way but not terribly exciting.
