Created some of our best moments yesterday. Didn't think changing to a back 3 helped that aspect though. Looking forward to seeing how he develops next season.

Just do not see a defender in him. A worry for the qualifiers.
What position do you see from him then?

He's consistently been one of our top three performers for the past few months. You see him as a replacement for Dembele?

I think he’s in a bit of a dip just now. Too often gets dragged out of position and seems to neglect his man a bit too. I also think it’s quite likely his mad sliding tackle lunge style signature move will be penalised in the later stages of CL qualification. He’s got potential, but also quite a bit to go before he’s good enough to be playing consistently for a good Celtic team.

He's still learning that position, hopefully a new experienced CB will help him. I think he'll be superb for us in a couple of years time.

What that man said. Rather than being eased in gently and being afforded the chance to build on the great promise shown, he’s had to start every game due to the dearth of more reliable alternatives. He’s a big, strong laddie who’s comfortable with the ball; fine assets for a CB but the ability to read a game is crucial, and it’s a shame he’s been pitchforked into a wobbly defence because Commper and Hendry can’t/won’t be trusted, and Jozo’s fallen off a cliff.

The one he was when signed him, defensive midfield. Alternatively, the bench. He is caught under the ball all the time (often from hopeful long balls), lacks pace, and goes to ground far too easily.

Question answered?

Interested to see how the big man will develop. He's got the physical attributes, just needs to iron out a few kinks like his positioning.

Told me yesterday after the game that Shinnie's card is well and truly marked for trying to put Brown out of the Final - Don't think he meant by the SPL :) - Maybe he is going to spend the next four years doing it?

Fwiw Shinnie fortunately didn't succeed - Brown will be fine :rocker: but it was a close thing. :nono:

Excellent news for us and him. Looks as though he's going to develop into a great player already.
