    That’s a literally impossible thing to say without knowing what he’s done.

    Literally showed you a clip of him holding his hamstring which 95% of the time is 4 weeks minimum

    Shouldn't have started, purely on Rodgers this.

    Really poor decision just to throw him on.

    Hopefully its not as serious this time and hes only out a few weeks or less, but missing Tynecastle is huge.

    Was utter desperation. Could be extremely costly if that’s now months he misses.

    Unreal seeing Johnston going off and it looked like a hamstring injury again. Not sure if it was the same leg as the last time.

    Very cold night out there, hamstrings popping was always going to be a possibility.

    That’s what a warm up is for.

    Worst feeling ever doing that with your hammy. Feel for him. Seemed odd to throw him straight into the team hut i don't think that had any baring because it was so early.

    Hopefully doesnt affect him coming back again, it makes you wary of going full tilt.

    That’s why he has played last night. With Tynecastle in mind, he would have needed game time.

    Medical staff together with the player make the call.
    Manager selects from who he's been told is fit and how he sees them.in training.

    For me this is on the medical staff.
    They've been superb managing Tierney but clearly not with AJ.

    we had ample opportunity to get cover for rb position but for a completly dysfunctional recruitment policy

    He genuinely looked like he could barely move when he was playing. Hopefully it’s not done anything a lot worse
