    Was amazing when he came on. Don’t think he gave it away once.

    How are we gonna fit McGregor, Hatate, O’Riley and Rogic into the same team. Turnbull must be thinking how am I getting back into this team.

    Nice problem to have!

    Nine options just now for central midfield: Ideguchi, McGregor, Soro, McCarthy, Bitton, Hatate, Turnbull, O'Reilly, Rogic

    If we keep 7/9, really got to be McCarthy and Soro that drop out next year.

    I was quite excited at the prospect of seeing both of them in same team, both class acts. Some strength in depth right across the midfield now.

    He's so good. We can see the trickery from our screens but he's like one of those players that if you were playing against him you think you can close him down and win the ball then before you know it - a bit of nifty footwork and he's took a couple of your teammates out the game with a pass.

    Feels weird to be able to say this about so many signings this season, but what a find.

    Rogic is arguably playing the best football of his Celtic career, regularly finishing 90 minutes and just scored two today, yet you could make the argument that a 21 year old from MK Dons who has only played a few games for us, should start ahead of him in the next match. Crazy how impressive this guy has been.

    Its a great problem to have of course. But genuinely I don't think it is an issue. Given Ange's style and the enormous volume of games we play a season I think we need 8 senior central midfielders for those 3 spots. Soro for me would be the odd one out who I think we could and should sell this summer.

    The quality of O'Riley's performances from the first minute he stepped on the field have been just superb. What a find and as you say its amazing how many of our new signings your saying similar things about.

    Can't believe we've unearthed Kyogo, Abada, Jota, Hatate and O'Riley in the space of one season.

    You could add even more names to the list, but these have been absolutely sublime pieces of business.
