    He's had one stinking game all year. He’s more consistent for me. Neither are ideal tbh but I’d genuinely rather Scales come back into the side and think he might after that performance

    One game overshadows all the other ones he's been superb?

    He was poor, but even CCV cost us the 3rd goal with that cheap corner.

    After he got that accidental whack from Murray early on I don't think he fancied it tbh, he's a good player and he's shown it here already. Needs to be more imposing and hope that rolling about on the deck whenever he's touched isn't gonna be a regular thing. He'll never be off the deck playing against your Curtis Mains and Alex Gogics every week.

    He's largely been very dominant in the air. I'd say it's his biggest attribute.

    Did he need to be more aggressive tonight? Aye. But I'd say he has it in him.

    Was a really really bad night st the office which fir defenders is always focused in on cos it will often lead to goals conceded as it did tonight. But midfielders and attackers also have them and had them tonight too.

    No need to overreact yet and we can't keep chopping and changing between him and scales.

    Scales isn't far better, people have short memories around here.

    If Trusty continues to have poor games after this then fair enough, but it wasn't that long ago people were calling him immense and a Rolls Royce.

    We need a CB in the summer either way.

    Not saying Scales is better, but I think he would have dealt with that kind of game better than Trusty did.

    When people are putting balls over the top and we have control of the game for the most part then it suits Trusty.

    Say what you like about Scales but I don't think he gets bullied like Trusty did tonight.

    Scales at Ibrox was as bad a performance as you’ll see from a Celtic centre back.

    Scales has been bullied many a time this season, that performance in the 3-0 loss to the huns was as bad as I've seen from a CB at us.

    And I don't mean to say that and out down Scales, who I really like, but for me he has to earn his way back into the team, he doesn't just became second choice again when Trusty has only his second poor game for us.

    A bad performance at Ibrox with no fans is not the same as a bad performance at Dens.

    It should be noted that neither of them were completely alone, the whole team were shocking both times.

    I reckon he fouls for the 2nd goal at the very least. With ibrox you could say that about many of our players

    Hes not the answer but I slightly prefer Scales at this point in time.

    I really don't mind who starts out of Scales and Trusty, think they're both very important to us. I'd say this was probably one of Trusty's poorest performances though, he got bumped off the ball too easily.

    Really bad tonight but dont think Scales is the answer. Worried how bullied he was in his one on one battles.

    Was Trusty unsettled for the third goal?

    He's got to deal with that better. You've got to stay on your feet. It's as simple as that.

    He knows that. He understands that. That's what I'm saying.

    Across certain areas, we went a bit soft
