    Should allow a 5/10 minute sub for a head injury to evaluate fully. If fine then they can resume and the sub can come back off onto the bench until used as a proper sub later on. It wouldn't be hard to implement and should be automatic for every head injury that stops play for treatment.

    Sounds like he will be able to play Wednesday which is great news.

    I assumed the same myself. But great news to hear he is good to go for Wednesday.

    He went off as a concussion sub. It allowed for a potential additional 6th substitution v Hibs, and as a protocol he is required to miss the next game. If it was a concussion he could've been ruled outr for upto 3 weeks.

    Don't like to be negative after a win, but he's been offering absolutely nothing going forward of late. Him and Maeda (or Forrest today) on the same wing is pretty chronic to watch. Means everything goes down the left as well.

    Been holding off on this cos I love the *, but he's been * rank recently. Don't know what's happening but hopefully it's just a phase and he picks it up again sharpish.

    Same problem as that useless * on the other side of the pitch. He's not an out and out full back.
    He was signed by a manger who played a certain way and he fitted that system.

    Would be good on right of a back 3

    To be kind he's not been hitting the heights he did under Ange.

    Its weird, I'd have thought he'd be thriving under Rodgers system, he's been fairly poor so far.

    It's also easy to forget that he's coming off two nasty injuries that's kept him out for decent periods.

    I’m hoping he’s not kicked his * this season due to the injuries.

    Said it lastnight during the game hes regressed at an alarming rate, im hoping its the couple of injuries and the concussion and he can get back upto speed soon.

    Not really offering anything at the minute, doesnt try to beat a man, doesnt look 100% fit, id give ralston the nod for the next couple.

    Not many players can hold a top standard consistently.

    McGregor can and even he’s showing some bad form.

    AJ will be absolutely fine.

    What has happened to him - this season he has offered nothing going forward and defensive position has been awful as seen by the second goal .

    If that was ralston putting in these type of performances people would be slating him none stop

    Been poor this season and tbf I was worried about how he might adapt to playing at the highest level.

    Been miles off it this season but still wouldn't fancy Ralston replacing him for any length of time ... another great bit of business that new deal

    I like Johnston but he hasn’t been as good at all this season. I still think he’s quite solid domestically but has looked off it every CL game.
    Mental some fans said he’s better than Juranovic tbh. Not bashing him by any means I do like him but he seems to be struggling a bit lately
