    Think we said before, the signing of KT could see the return to a 4-2-3-1 formation that BR favoured in his first spell.. it would definitely make us more secure in certain games..

    Would like to sign a DM/CM but Bernardo, McCowan and Engels could all play in a 'double pivet' .. with McGregor and Hatate, McCowan, Engels and even Kyogo could all be excellent as a 10..

    Keep Taylor who's excellent as an inverted full back for the 4-3-3 option.

    This will sound ridiculous but I though he was cracking for the 2 minutes he was on the pitch yesterday :giggle1:

    McCowan hasn't had a bad minute in a Celtic shirt in my opinion. If he had been a "big money" buy then many fans would be shouting for him to get an extended run.

    I thought the same. Thought it strange coming on so late. But he nearly got us our third.

    Can only agree with the above posts. Has earned getting more starts in my view.

    Luke for me is similar to Reo and Idha, all 3 are much better aff the bench than starters.

    I think he’s been largely excellent and when you think about what we paid for him he’s been a really good signing. He’s probably unfortunate not to have had more game time and starts and I think that’s partly down to the fact he cost us a million quid rather than 5/6 because you could argue he’s been the most consistent of the 5 midfielders.
