    Great performance from the Bhoy today. When I say him in the preseason games I knew he had potential. Now I glad he has gotten his first goal and league performance by him.

    I don't think there's any chance we'd have gotten a draw, certainly not a win, no matter how two individuals played. As a team, we were dominated.

    It's not much good speculating, let's see what Strachan does next week :50:

    You could have saved a lot of time and hassle by just saying that in the first place.

    He has not been tested as he may have not been ready. He played well today but Juninho played well in his first game aswell. It looks like he will be a good player but it could easily go in the other direction.

    Stop being so negative... Let's hope he wrecks Rangers.

    He'll get the last 8 mins at Ibrox no doubt, Think he'd turn either fullback inside out.

    If he's mentally ready to handle it, out wide players have long sufferd at Mordor

    I am not being negative, I am overjoyed at his performance today. He played great at a ground where it is hard to go to. But you need to realise this earns him no rights what so ever to think he deserves a starting place. Many players have had a good game and went on to be crap and many have had to wait longer than him to get a shot at the Huns.

    WGS hasn't got a full squad, Koki proved himself today. There's not much to lose, and what other men could you field?

    strachen said it would be a while before koki got his chance, because he had to bed him into western society as unlike naka koki is less aware of the culture ect

    i think now will be the time to give him morte games and i think we have a real steal here... hope we dont sdell him on though because we are better than that.

    only mordor bring players in to sell the next season lol

    He proved he can play one good game! He has to do it week in week out which hopefully he does! He may well play against Rangers and if he does I hope he does what he done today, but he will not play if we get people back. Strachan would probably play a midfield of Naka Caldwell Brown and Robson before playing Koki! Now before you start telling me why your footballing brain says this won't work I am not saying that is a good midfield to play, just one that WGS will probably play ahead of Mizuno!

    I think he should still take it slowly with him you can tell he was chomping at the bit to get some 1st team action and it paid off so I would stick with this. Dip him in and out and it will pay off in the long run, if he plays against the huns and doesnt play well it could end up being a massive setback for him imo.

    Koki was terrific today. Falkirk played a pretty physical game and both he and Naka stood up well.

    Well, you are right, WGS might play an awful midfield...

    If you think any midfeild without Mizuno is awful then you should take a look at Celtic as a whole!

    It's not just without Mizuno... He might put Caldwell in midfield. Robson probably won't be fit... Mizuno has better finishing than Samaras, and will strive to prove himself once again.

    yeah i agree with mcgeady here, but he could be introdueced as a sub.

    it will be a physical game imo, koki would'nt fit in, falkirk are not a great team tbh.... rangers is a big step up.
