    Possibly the only guy that was anyway positive last night. So am sure the coaching staff will coach that positivity out of him- and coach him to pass back ways sideways change the point of the attack.

    If Donovan and Murray genuinely don’t start Sunday I want Rodgers gone.

    Looks quick, strong and confident. Look forward to seeing him back in the B team after that quality showing.

    Regardless of ralston being fully fit or not he should play on Sunday.

    Did well last night. Bit of pace about him but defensively wasn't tested, we were completely on the front foot in extra time.

    When he faked the pass and then took it past the guy before cutting back to Nygren, I lept for the first time all night.

    Him and Murray the only two showing any positivity.

    Still better than Ralston then as everytime Ralston charged out, they popped it in to miles of space on his side..

    Ralston did fine defensively last night. The problem was the other end of the pitch for us.

    Agreed was one of the few positives from last night. Played very well when he came on.

    Early signs with him are good. One small positive from that disaster last night.

    He should start at the weekend but he won't.

    Was literally the most creative player in the second half.

    Rodgers described him well when saying he has the personality to play for Celtic. No sign of timidness or nerves which you’d expect.

    I’ve watched him over 10 times and always been impressed. He can’t start on Sunday against their best player for me though, if he gets cooked he’s finished which isn’t fair.

    Baptism of fire. He either win or lose. We need someone with energy, pace and creativity against gassama so Donovan genuinely looks a better fit right now than a tiring semi injured Ralston!

    He can’t start unless Ralston is injured imo although i actually think he’s a better player.

    That Gassama is a handful and our best right winger is James Forrest atm if he is looking for help.

    I'd back him on Sunday tbh.

    I've not been impressed with our B team players whatsoever but him and Murray seem to have the attitude and mentality to make it here if they want to. Could see him handling it.

    He’s gonna be a player for us but i think it’s wild to chuck him in against Gassama. He’s a Celtic man by all accounts so will probably be on a yellow 15 minutes in as well.
