    Definitely a miss.

    I’ve criticised him but he has that guile that’s needed in games like today and probably our biggest threat from outside the box.

    A lot of people had him struggling to get a game again a few weeks ago :giggle1:

    Will be interesting to see how him, O’Riley and McGregor get on in the same midfield.

    His shooting from distance against teams camped in will come in handy.

    Isn't a guaranteed starter but will be a boost..

    Few time's today from freekicks or open play you'd have fancied him to bag one just outside the box..

    I remember when we were 1-0 up at fir park against Motherwell, they basically had a low block despite losing, and Turnbull scored from like 30 yards and it made it so much more comfortable for us.

    That's something major that he has over the others (Rogic used to have it but he doesn't do it anymore).

    Wouldn't be starting or even playing him against livingston even if he's fit, but Ross County could be a good game to bring him back.

    Was hoping thinking he would be back the second week of march.. Looks like he wont be, getting a bit worried we wont see him till the last few weeks of the year.. Could be GG for Kyogo this season if thats the case.. lets hope he is good by April for the huns.

    Thats a good point he probably is the best we have right now in terms of the consistency and quality of his shooting from outside the box.

    weve missed his shooting, who else shoots from edge of box, rogic used to but he seems more easily closed down now his shots seem to get blocked like others not that there are many others shooting

    we seem to do what the defending teams want us to do which is try and walk it into the net now were crossing the ball more often and that helps but we need to also try long range shots and to be fair to turnbull that was one of his strengths, i can remeber bitton scoring a few long range crackers

    if we can get into the habit of long range shooting that will also mean defenders try to get out and block the attempts and could create the opportunities to slide passes through

    it will all come in time im sure have to keep reminding myself this is a new young squad thats been put together in the last 9months

    Aye were struggling for goals at the moment, the more the games on you see the spaces and chances that Turnbull would have created.

    He was one of the most consistent players for the 1st half of the season before injury mind you! Great options in the Mid

    The best part of 3 months out for both Turnbull and Kyogo. They must have really * their hamstrings to be out for 12+ weeks.

    From my memory of Celtic players getting hamstring injuries, it usually keeps players out for about 6-8 weeks

    Promising..

    So you're looking at him being back ready to be in the squad by the huns game at worst..

    Kyogo can't be too far away if the timescale is still the same. Maybe back at Lennoxtown during the international break..

    Good news that. Sounds like he has a chance at making the next zombies game.
