    Lagerbielke feels like he'll definitely go.

    Given Scales is actually in the position to me it's more likely we offload Nawrocki than Scales. Really feels to me that Nawrocki doesn't actually want to be here. Hopefully we can get rid of Kobayashi too. Really weird situation.

    Think it's got to be a new signing that's the upgrade.

    It's getting to the point that even his face is starting to annoy me, now.

    Needs dropped.

    Too late in the season to change the pairing now I feel. He isn’t good enough to be starting week in week out for us though. Folk were getting carried away with him. He has done well to be fair to him, but we need better. Get caught in the ball too often after taking too many touches. Done it numerous times today again.

    Maybe it is.


    It's not his fault anyway. It's up to the manager, he shouldn't be selecting this * diddy every game anyways. Surely he, like everyone else, can see this * is beyond * and should be nowhere near the first team.

    He's literally Livingston level.

    I don't really know what he did wrong he isn't pretty watch but he did his most important job which is defending.

    I think we could upgrade on him and get a better ball playing centre back but I don't think he was our biggest glaring weakness. Taylor getting absolutely destroyed for pace stood out more to me.

    He literally passed the ball to the rangers players, or nobody at all/out the pitch... numerous times.
    There was numerous times the ball was going safely out, towards our keeper or for a goal kick, only for this daft * to head it, straight back in to the midfield. He's an idiot, he's thick as * and nowhere near the level required.

    Get him so far to *.

    Should just be a squad player next season as he has fallen spectacularly out of form the last couple of months.

    He's an honest big guy .. should never be 1st choice but it tells you about the standard of the other centre backs.

    Was shouting and balling at him today. Don't think he found a Celtic player once today with the ball.

    * murder, passing the ball out, giving it away, trying to give it to team mates when they're under pressure.

    Don't know why Joe Hart kept giving him the ball as well. Scales has came in and been an honest enough big guy, but he's never a Celtic player. Has looked every bit an Aberdeen player in the second half of the season.

    We really need to get the * finger out and start signing decent centre halves again.

    Thought he was poor today. Not as down as some are on him in general but today wasn’t great.

    deserved plaudits for stepping up when needed but the brutal reality is the boys not good enough. People have definitely had their Irish blinkers on for the majority of the season. It's infuriating watching him.

    The biggest problem is the rest of the CB's bar CCV have been brutal as well. To be fair I don't think Narwocki been given a proper go of it

    I’ve done a complete 180 on the guy to be honest. I still like him. I trust him to defend well. But on the ball he is an accident waiting to happen. He just seems to lack so much confidence and teams let him have the ball because they know he’s probably going to * it up.

    Honestly id just get rid or keep him around as 4th choice. He’s not homegrown. If he was he’d be perfect because he’s better than Welsh.

    Much like Ralston and Taylor before him.

    He's performed at a level we never thought he had... but he's a few levels below that of guys of the likes of Starfelt and needs replacing.

    Same here. He does a lot of good things defensively but it’s often to make up for making a bollox of something basic beforehand.

    When he was in form I thought he would kick on and cement his place, but he’s definitely a 4th choice at best. If he was playing like this in the first half of season he’d be dropped by now.

    He did. Teams, particularly yesterday, but before too, are pressing CCV so that he's not an option and it has to go through Scales.

    Think Rodgers and the rest of the coaches should be looking at that.
