    None of them are particularly exciting, but on our day I think all our front 4 can be very good to watch, as a unit. Nobody stands out though, GMS and Forrest maybe but they hardly ever show much flair let alone form.

    Forrest. Likes to tease and excite defenders with his public indecency.

    Very intelligent player, with lovely touches.

    I was thinking GMS, but to be honest Ronny has done something with him, I don't see the fancy flicks and tricks, and for me he passes the buck too much, which I'm not liking, but for me that's the manager. Seriously restricting this player for me, Ronny is.

    Bitton for me. He can just do something out of the blue which is brilliant.

    At their best and on form; Armstrong, GMS, Ciftci (he has great skills/technique), Nirlo, Allan (he's a player, his vision/passing is incisive and nice to see) and from ,what I can tell, Janko is an exciting player in full flow/confidence and that's just the players in and around the first team off the top of my head. There are plenty players in the development team like Nesbitt or Miller who are really exciting prospects. We've got a lot of talent, just hope they flourish and are encouraged to be creative and show their talents, I'm sure they are. It would certainly help entertain the fans more but a silky turn here, a clever step over or feint there aren't just party tricks, they have practical uses in games like fooling/getting past defenders, etc.
    You hope that moving to a club like Celtic would encourage them to do it even more but sometimes I think that some players might think that because of the extra pressure at a club like ours they shouldn't be as individualistic, which is not the right way of thinking about it it all, being able to do that stuff is a gift to be used as much as possible as, like I said, it can help win games.

    None of them excite me if I'm honest. There's a couple like Bitton and Rogic who show the odd nice touch, but in general it's a team of workers. I was hoping the summer window would sort that out, but no.

    Only Commons seems to do something a bit "wow" and even then no where near enough.

    Bitton, Forrest ( when on the ball) is running at players now taking them constantly which is what you want the wingers to do. Want to see Nesbitt given a chance, looks a cracking young player.

    Nadir Ciftci. Watch him shine in the next few weeks. My predictions are not wrong.

    We don't have any exciting players really. GMS looked exciting at Dundee United but hasn't shown that in Celtic colours as yet, the only time was against Inter.

    Forrest isn't exciting to me because all he has in his locker is pace. Maybe Ciftci will come good and excite but our team is pretty bland at the moment.

    Nobody really. Ambrose gets the spark going but it's anticipation of panic more than anything else. Van Dijk when he stepped forward was always interesting, otherwise the onus is on the whole side to be creative although it's been pretty uneventful in an attacking sense.

    Allan could potentially be that player. In his wee cameo against St Johnstone he was looking to play the killer pass and always looking to play forward.

    Definitely no-one of the ilk mentioned by the OP, or anyone remotely close to those standards.

    Gordon, due to the fact that his team in front of him are woeful and he has to pull of wondrous saves
