    * of a shift even by his standards, not sure I've ever seen him looking that knackered at the end of a game.

    Was a shame to see him lose his first touch towards the end of the game but understandable after the effort he'd put in.

    Absolutely unplayable in the first half though. He was controlling the ball so well and making such clever runs their defence was * themselves.

    All round excellence from him tonight but * me man, you get tired watching him.

    I’d love to see his running stats tonight

    Caught myself laughing a few times the night just watching him play, thinking how much of a nightmare it must be playing against him, can see the opposition players faces stressed out to *.

    His legs gave up on him last 20 minutes but understandable given the shift he put in prior to that. Ideally we’d have had a bit of pace on the bench to replace him with but it just wasn’t there which is why he had to play the full 90 despite being completely burst.

    I’ll say it every time he puts in a performance like that but he is unique in my time as a football fan, I’ve never seen the likes before.

    Outstanding performance where his work rate, determination and pace act as a leveller for the entire team.

    Be nice if he could find a team mate with a pass/cross now and again. Instead of shiteing his pants and swinging his foot and seeing what happens.

    Other than that, decent.

    Incredible work rate, but just lacks any sort of quality.

    He's a strange one. There was points tonight I didn't even trust him in just running on to a ball yet I still would have started him and been raging had he not started

    Reckon he done more running in the 1st half than most players do in 90mins, unreal. It totally burst him though and that’s probably the first time I’ve ever saw him properly leggy & done.

    If he could pass and cross he'd be worth 100 million and would not not be playing for Celtic ha.

    We all know his weaknesses but * * he's worth his weight in gold in what he does bring to the table. Phenomenal work rate

    First time iv ever seen him looking tired. What a shift. Even then he still could run. Now just imagine we gave him a red bull :56:

    If he had any composure at all and a decent first touch he wouldn’t be playing for us, I suppose that’s the reality of it.

    That's what I thought exactly last night, it's been that way with quite a few players over the years, they maybe lack some sort of quality, but that was the reason he's actually with us.

    One of best examples was Tom Rogic, lack of that burst of speed, if he had that he'd have been playing at any of the top teams I'm the world.
