    I would say his two best European performances (by a distance) came in this campaign - Leipzig at home and Bayern away.

    Still need a proper CDM in the future, but it was nice to see him stand up and be counted yesterday.

    Yet another top performance by a guy who can't do it in Europe in the 6.

    Legend.

    I don’t think he’s been as involved at times this year but that was a joke of a performance last night.

    He’s been one of the best players on the park in just about every CL game for me this year.

    Will still see the usual narrative from people outwith the club saying he doesn’t do it in Europe.

    Been a huge fan of Calmac since he broke into the side as a CAM, some of his early goals were incredible.

    I understand how certain fans question the lack of physicality as a DCM in European games, but for me he compensates with other qualities such as intelligence and technique, certainly domestically.

    I’m certain he could have headed to other more lucrative clubs at various points in his career (Leicester under Rodgers had a sniff) but his loyalty is immeasurable, and I genuinely hope he can get to the top 10 Celtic appearances

    What a guy!

    We would be a weaker side without him in it. Knows when to push the team up the park and take control. A Celtic legend.

    Just reckon that we need to manage his game time in order to get the best out of him from now until the end of his career.
    He is going to start against Hibs at weekend when he should be on the bench. Just feel we are flogging him due to * poor recruitment, surely there should be someone onboard with a view to giving him proper rest periods between important games, just feel it would help him stay injury free.
    With proper game time management, he will be good for another 3 or 4 more years.
