    mcdonald is a given as the manager will play him regardless, which i'm happy about. There is some debate, however, over midfield and that's my point.Also, refs will feel they 'owe' rangers the title.

    If it becomes a title about 'dig' we lose. Rangers will match us and they will get the decisions they need.That's why we need to make it a title about who plays the best football.

    robson and Hartley were great last season, but circumstances were totally different. Rangers were fatigued and dig worked. This season is different and we need to outclass them. Crosas can do that for us more than others as the dig is there from elsewhere (brown).

    Whoever wants it more? bit of a cliche that one, lacking insight.

    Its ludicrious to suggest that Crosas is the one that we have to pin our hopes on to win the league. Tallk about pressure. I think he will get games and will help us win the league but I don't think it will be determined by wether he plays or not.

    Its not a fact not even close to being one. I seem to remeber he didn't play at home to Villareal. Arguably our best football this season.

    What reasons did he 'find'?

    He's actually said on a couple of occasions the team gels better with Crosas playing and that he's a cracking footballer.

    I can see his reasoning behind leaving him out when he does but hopefully the last couple of months have shown him exchanging technical ability for grit and determination doesn't always equal 3 points.

    Crosas is a good player and i think he will get better as he progresses with us he will play a role for us in going for the league but it wont be all down to him.

    I didn't say the rest weren't important, course they are. What I am saying is that he can help them contribute more than others mentioned here. Robson, flood, Hartley will have their influences but the Crosas/ Brown partnership should be the axis around which the team is built.

    i think that crosas is a great player and is one of the only players at celtic that can pass the ball at celtic he also looks calm and collected on the ball.

    A fully automatic pick in the midfield, IMO. We play much better when he's around.

    Seems that most people agree and can see that Crosas should be in the team, so wgs will deff not play him! I think Gordon will try Naylor in CM with Naka up front and JVOH at LB!! If (big if) we put our best 11 out every week we would win the spl!
