    Think he’ll be a solid defender for us (especially in the air) but he looked very big and cumbersome as he came into midfield that first half, had way too much of the ball for the type of centre half he is IMO.

    May get better with game time however.

    Seen a few clips of him skinning people and pinging the ball about, so I’ll wait a bit until he’s upto match fitness. Mind Van Dijks first game?:56:

    It may have came from the manager to make sure he got plenty of the baw tbh but he just didn’t fill you with confidence.

    In the air defending though I think he’s going to be a beast and that may be enough to start him Tuesday!

    That and his positioning, he was always in the right place to pick up the ball without needing to make a challenge.

    He looked absolutely fine on the ball today, all things considered.

    No worries at all.

    Very good. He was making positive passes so often. I've no idea if he starts on Tuesday, but he and Kyogo need to get acquainted well- there could be a few goals in this long-distance relationship.

    Tbh think he got confused when he kept running towards the goal and the Dundee guys kept * off from him :56: looks strong in the air.

    He looks good.

    Good passer of the ball

    I immediately thought after the first 45 that we should be looking at extending the loan beyond 6 months lol

    Like the look of him, can tell he's not 100% match fit yet, makes a lot more sense why he didn't play against the huns.

    The Celtic boss explained to BBC Sportsound: "Nat just rolled his ankle in the last action of the first half, so we just wanted to protect him and make sure he is ok and available for Tuesday

    Clearly not fully fit but will come good.

    His passing was poor though and I am slightly worried by the way he was climbling/grappling with players. Fine for the league but could get freekicks against given often for that in europe.

    I think he will naturally look more cumbersome compared to the other CBs so I'm not worried about that.

    He's obviously not up to speed yet and some of his passing was a bit erratic but he definitely adds some height at the back which we really needed and can only improve.
