    In the Crosas thread there is a bit of a debate about Marc never really being given the opportunity to succeed at Celtic (which I agree with), and it made me think of a few others. Who do you think we have signed then never given a chance to play?

    To start off:

    Crosas
    Riordan
    Flood
    Doumbe
    Juarez
    Hutchinson
    Simon Ferry (although he came through the ranks I always thought he deserved a chance)

    Crosas Got a chance. Started well then started just playing backward passes
    Riordan got a chance, when he got 90mins he failed to do anything. Flood got more of a chance than he deserved.
    Doumbe got a chance. got injured. got given a contract extention.got another chance. got injured again.
    Juarez is still here ffs
    hutchinson was never good enough
    Ferry is now playing in league 2 or something with swindon. Hardly good enough for celtic.
