Alexandro Bernabei

Injured?

 

Sold hopefully.

 

Hardline Brendan Rodgers dropped Alexandro Bernabei for stepping out of line ahead of Celtic’s Premiership opener.

The left-back was late for a team meeting after sleeping in and was left out of last Saturday’s flag-raising win over Ross County. The no-nonsense Celtic boss is a stickler for the highest standards on and off the pitch. Rodgers has made it clear to the Argentine defender that not being punctual and one time for a pre-match gathering was not acceptable. The 22-year-old paid the price by missing the 4-2 triumph over County.

Bernabei now faces an anxious wait to see if he can force his way back into his manager’s squad and thinking for the weekend clash at Aberdeen. Rodgers has made it clear to the player and the rest of his squad that he expects everybody at the club to work and hold themselves to the very highest standards. There were a couple of minor incidents with players since the summer and Rodgers has made it clear that he won’t tolerate anything but his players being disciplined and totally professionals at all times.

The move is a blow to Bernabei as he tries to dislodge Greg Taylor from the left-back slot with the Treble-winners. Bernabei has been fighting to become a first pick since he arrived from Lanus in June last year. Rodgers took over from Ange Postecoglou in the summer and is determined to raise the standards again in his second spell at Celtic Park.

 

What a fud, man

 

Get him punted. Shown very little on the pitch and obviously a liability off it.

 

Thick as mince on and off the pitch. So disappointing.

 

Joke that he's still here.

We can identify a centre half replacement for Starfelt at supposedly 2 weeks notice but we can't find a replacement for this useless wee *.

Altho maybe not that surprising consider some * halfwit on our scouting team thought he was worth spunking nearly £4m on

 

In his defence he’s just had a kid


Can understand why he’s slept in late night bottle runs

 

No question especially based on the kind of fees we pay the 3.75m we paid for Bernebei was us getting done badly on that transfer.

 

The managers got a reason to empty him now..

 

We've all gone to work on time after having kids.

He's hardly set our world alight and he hasn't been showing the club in the best light at times either.

Youd think you'd be trying to impress your new boss.

I've never seen why we parted with whatever it was we paid for him.

Time to call it and replace with someone who is actually going to displace Taylor.

 

I was talking about him going on bottle runs

​

 

Aye that might be it for him, was already miles behind Taylor.

Whilst I'd like us to get a GK in first, hopefully we see a LB come I'm shortly.

 

Only so long you can defend someone who just isn't helping themselves. Looking ominous now for the wee man.

 

Sacking someone for being late once is wild

I’ve probably not slept in for 10 years but still. Who knows what happened, think he gets one pass.

 

He also has previous for drink driving

 

I'd say getting done for drink driving was probably the first strike tbh.

 

100% this.

 

He's also not very good.
