Craig Burley got PotY for less than this :ph43r:
Tremendous season.
The bar was lower in 97/98 as the league trophy was flung between us & Rangers like a hot potato that noone seemed to want.

If it wasn't for Dembele & Sinclair having brilliant seasons, there would be fear on here of Armstrong being the next big player to sold to the EPL.

He's by a country mile the best midfielder in Scotland.
Why is there hyperbole in every player thread on KDS?

Armstrong has been excellent since September, but it's false as well as disrespectful to claim Armstrong is 'a country mile' ahead of Brown.
He's by a country mile the best all round midfielder in Scotland right now. Brown is the best ball winner but Armstrong has way more threat up the park.

He's been brilliant recently, and seems to excel in the same position that we want to see Rogic in when he returns. A good problem for the manager to have but unless Armstrong drops back to play alongside Brown, one of them is going to be unhappy.

Armstrong will drop back. He did it earlier in the season and was still chipping in with goals.

If he keeps up this form he will be in contention for player of the year. BR has given him so much confidence and he is taking his chance with both hands

I fully expect Gordon Strachan to un-train him over the next week or so and he'll have a pish few games for us as a result.

Really chuffed for the boy. He's picked up from where he left off prior to injury, which is enough for me to think his turn of form under Brendan is the real thing, no flash in the pan like we saw in his first few months after signing. Shows there's a mental strength there as well as ability, something we weren't too sure about before. Thrilled for the laddie!

Just before Rogics injury both players had started to play as number 8s?box to box midfielders, TR finally having reached a level of fitness that allowed that, at least that's how i saw it at the time. :thumbsup:

RONNY Deila spoke last night of his delight at Stuart Armstrong's elevation to the Scotland fold and said he deserves credit not criticism for his role in the player's development. Those who feel the midfielder, set to get the nod from Gordon Strachan in his preferred advanced central midfield role in tonight's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia tonight, was going nowhere until Brendan Rodgers replaced the Norwegian at the Parkhead club tend to forget that he might still have been at Dundee United had Deila not given his blessing to a £2m joint move for him and Gary Mackay Steven on deadline day in January 2015. While Deila often played him wide left of a front three, a position where he was unable to prove his true worth, the Norwegian feels he nonetheless gave him valuable experience of the demands of Celtic at a time when he wasn't ready to dominate games the way he does now. He has scored 12 goals in 37 matches already this season and contributed plenty more besides.

"Stuart Armstrong couldn't come straight into Celtic and be the best player at Celtic when he had just left Dundee United," said Deila, now manager of Valerenga in his homeland. "He needed time. Now, once he has one and a half, two years, under his belt, he is starting to adapt to playing at Celtic.

"He played central for us as well at times too," added Deila. "But we had Tom Rogic and Stefan Johansen there, Stefan wasn't a natural No 10 but he did well the first year, and pressed the game well for us. Tom Rogic did well too and we did play Stuart in the central as well sometimes. I agree that he has made this [central midfield] his best position. But at that time I think he needed more experience to be able to play there.

"I am so happy that he has made it, and developed that way. He was a player that we believed in. We bought him for some money and everybody needs time to adapt. That is the issue when you have clubs like Celtic. You don't have the time. Because you have to win AND develop."
