The willingness to drop a Celtic player in a championship winning game for a loanee who's off in 5 weeks is quite something. I wonder what that would do to his confidence after having a decent season getting dropped in the biggest league game because, like many others, he's went off the boil a bit.

He does nothing against the huns yet we've a pretty decent record v them despite him playing in these games.
Roberts should play for a very simple reason and that is he is the better player overall and plays better against this opponent and it’s not even a close contest and that should be all that matters
Roberts does not deserve to start as he has not earned it since he came back. Simple.

roberts has done nothing this season

he's contributed absolutely nothing

i'd agree forrest isn't playing at his best right now, but what has roberts done to merit a start ahead of him?

simply not been in the team?

nah, forrest starts
For a start Roberts has contributed more against Sunday’s opposition in one start and one sub appearance this season than Forrest has in his whole Celtic career.

So Forrest has a point to prove.

Neither of whom have contributed as much as Forrest so you took that too far.

Right now my preference would be Forrest and Roberts as Sinclair looks bereft of confidence right now. He’s looked better as a sub recently.

But.. contribution?

It's no fair to leave Sinclair out is it? He's done more than Forrest for this season. Mcgregor will play left as ye know so the above wasn't an option.

Anyway, I'll leave it there. We're boring folk.

Roberts being here next season is actually quite likely :rocker:

Even if it doesn't happen he deserves to start at the weekend, we've 2 more trophies to win.

Told from someone who's normally spot on, he said Dembele too but I won't get my hopes up.

Can't see Roberts coming on another loan would have to be a buy this time surely ? Hope your source is right on both counts though. :thumbsup:

Just out of curiosity, Why does it matter that Roberts is a loanee?

The game is now. He’s at the club now. Play him if he’s the best available option.

People were saying the same last year and Roberts played towards the end of his previous loan spell and it ended up being his best period in a Celtic jersey. So why shouldn’t he play? I didn’t understand it then and I still don’t.
Only because this is the title winning game, Forrest doesn't deserve to be dropped for this game. He's contributed enough this season to be part of it.
You do realise he’ll get a medal if he plays or not? He doesn’t need to be on the pitch to be part of the title winning team.

His earlier season contributions and decent form earned him that right, but now he’s back to the old Forrest so should be dropped, it’s not rocket surgery

He wanted the permanent move last summer.

We'll see how the Dembele stuff pans out, I wouldnt be surprised if it's people seeing him in the new strip and assuming he'll be here next season, but you never know :pray:

This is the Forrest thread so don't really like talking about Roberts on here but he has done nothing of note since his return from injury. Can't undertsand how he got MOTM against Hamilton, apart fae the fact near everybody else was dreadful, and he wasn't great v Sevco in the semi. I realise a lot of fans prefer him to Forrest and I understand why they do but despite Forrest's form dropping off, Roberts hasn't done anything to push his own case for starting.

He set up the opening goal v Hamilton & also won a pen v Sevco.

Yet some folk derided Forrest for only passing 5 yards to Rogic in the semi.

I've a feeling Dembele may well turn out to be a " see out the full contract " type. So he can leave for nothing and get a bigger whack from the club he's going to.

Just an inkling.
