Rodgers isn't going to come out and say Boyata is pish, yesterday was just an opportunity to get Boyata in the shop window for some Championship club in England to pick up for £1m
Saying "he now has the shirt" makes me think otherwise. The manager isn't going to slate anyone publicly but I think he'll get a chance between now and the end of the season to prove himself.

Aye I'm sure a couple of days before Allan went down to Rotherham he singled him out for praise and said he's a player he'd like to keep, wouldn't look too much into that.

Edit - a snippet from the interview

Rodgers has watched all of his players closely in training and is looking forward to seeing Allan flourish in a Celtic jersey.

“Scott will definitely stay,” the new Celtic boss stated despite having a dozen midfield options. “He’s a good player who I saw when he was at West Brom.

I remember that quote too.

One thing to distinguish is that he'd only worked with Allan a couple of weeks. Boyata returned from injury in Aug and BR has been talking about how he's trained last couple of months.

I'm not to fussed about this, I'd imagine he's putting Boyata in the shop window but if he does look at him and see potential then I think Rodgers has done enough already to earn our trust on this, if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out but if he sees an opportunity to improve him and sees potential in him improving the team then I'll back the managers judgement....for at least the first 15 minutes of his next game anyway 😉

It's his position to lose now. Jozo will have to work to get the shirt from him.

Think we have all seen enough of him already. He is a bomb scare. Still no harm in going through the old "polishing a turd" routine to see whether you can get enough shine for some gullible Championship side to pay decent money for him.

It's most certainly not his position now, thank god.

To be fair if we take an injury to Jozo or Erik Boyata is suddenly thrust into the first team picture so perhaps BR isn't thinking of selling him yet...? :suspect:

Jozo will need game time though at this stage in his development. I think Boyata could quite easily slot into a defensive midfield role.

See. This is what makes our game great. Differing opinions. I don't agree mate but it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong. :lol: If next month we see him pull the strings like Bobby Murdoch then you've got one up on me.

Sorry, why are people suggesting he's going to be a regular in the side now? :ponder:

The manager said he's now "got the shirt" and it's up to him to keep it. Barring any Efe moments I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a few games in a row.

Having the shirt, prolly refers to him being in the squad.

It's possibly worth remembering that as things stand Toure, Ambrose & O'Connell will all be out of contract in the summer, so we'll only have Simunovic, Sviatchenko & Boyata as actual centre halves; plus Lustig who's decent enough as cover there.

Until we make arrangements for another centre half to come in, Rodgers has to keep Boyata onside and ready in case he's needed. Plus by publicly praising him it puts that extra bit of pressure on Jozo & Erik to keep their own standards up in order to stay in the team.

We have Kolo too but it looks like he won't have much game time.

Re Boyata, I actually don't mind him. He is a threat in the box and he has all the attributes needed for a cb. Not playing in the last few years has not helped his development at all.
