Should have been sold after the semi final defeat where he allowed Kenny Miller to ragdoll him and subsequently gave up, sorry got injured.

Has cost us more goals than Efe Ambrose ever did.

Apart from the first goal, he nearly got caught again at the half way line, let Morelos through with a poor attempt at an interception and allowed Morelos to fire a cross along the 6 yard box far too easily. Needs replaced, if we need a goalkeeper who can play the ball out from the back, this guy is nowhere near good enough to be receiving it.

He's terrible and people forgot that over a 3 or month period when he played well.

The vast majority of his time here he was been crap. Needs punted and I'd rather play Ajer or Hendry over him.

I'm not for punting him. He is fast, good in the air and aggressive. He was effing rotten today though.
He looked like he was running through treacle at times.

Can’t trust him though, having all the attributes matters not a jot if you are prone to gifting goals away. Playing him is always a risk, the potential upside isn’t worth taking it.

I feel a bit sorry for him. He's a good natural defender but we've seen time and again that his concentration lets him down at crucial moments and that he can't be trusted with the ball at his feet.

No matter how good his form has been or will be at certain times, the prospect of an absolute clanger is always there.

He seems to be one of these players whose game falls to pieces when he's struggling with confidence. We can't have that at centre back.

He was good for a lengthy spell last season when we were cruising, sweeping all before us up here with incredible ease and he was rarely required to defend. Had a nightmare yesterday, let Windass in, too easily held off by Morelos in the lead up to their second goal then was baled out by Bain after another blunder in the second half.

He couldn’t possibly have been match fit but those mistakes should have been avoided. We need more reliable centre backs than Boyata and Sumonovic. Hopefully Ajer continues his progress and Hendry builds on his display yesterday when he came on. We’ve still to see what Comperr has to give us.

It was always going to be a risk playing him in this game straight back from a long injury. He clearly wasn't match fit. I think early doors the team were trying to let bain get his bearings so avoided back passing it back to him which contributed to the first in a way.

I think once he gets some games in him he will be just fine til the end of the season. I think he's a better player than jozo,but both will likely be gone in the summer.

He's 27 years old. When he moved to Man City in 2009 he was able to work with some of the best coaches that money can buy. At Celtic he's been able to work with an excellent manager in Brendan Rodgers, and in Kolo Toure has a guy who knows everything there is to know about being a top class centre half.

And yet he still makes stupid mistakes on a regular basis.

He has all the attributes you need to be an excellent centre half, except it seems the ability to learn from your mistakes. I think his contract's up in summer 2019, so I'm pretty sure he'll be moving on this summer.

Not going to judge him on yesterday as he clearly was not fit to play.

Hyperbolic pish.

He was awful yesterday.

At fault for both the hun goals and he almost gifted them a third.

He wasn't fit and shouldn't have played but he is our best center back.

He didn't make the errors because of a lack of match fitness; the first one was decision making and as the last man, being pressed, you play it safe. Instead, he tried to be clever, and they scored. He has a habit of making the wrong decision.

I'm not a fan of Boyata but the guy at the top of the page saying he chucked it vs the huns last year rather than getting injured is talking pish; was he not out for months?

If he hadn't gifted them the first goal and gave the belief it would have been a completely different game.

If we want to build a solid defence going forward he can't be part of it, neither can Jozo. Just imagine VVD and Denayer being in that team yesterday, just as an example of a havesolid central defence and how different a machine we would have been.

We need a new experienced central pairing and i hope its top of our shopping list for summer. Perhaps Caulker at Dundee if he has a good end to the season and one other.

Standard Boyata, he's a capable defender at times but he's as much as a bombscare as Efe ever was

Worst player on the park.
Both young cb's showed up better than him.
He's an embarrassment if 2 young guys playing at Ibrox for the 1st time in a Glasgow Derby, can be more composed & reliable than him - who is 27.
Looked like a wee boy.

Lack of fitness is no excuse for his mistake at the first goal.

Badly at fault for their first goal, and should have done much better at their second. Was caught out again shortly after their first goal and was lucky it bounced further away. Nearly gifted them a third in second half.

A nightmare of a game. Do not want him in the team for Semi final.
