James Forrest’s injury in September happened three days before Jeremie Frimpong’s best performance of the season, in the home win against Hibs. I remember using the MVP acronym for Jeremie at the time. Team form until that point was patchy: wins with alarming defensive performances and an unmitigated disaster against Ferencvaros. The team shape was clearly wrong and pushing Jeremie forward in James absence seemed logical.
It was the first of many changes I wanted to see, each followed by a realisation that we were groping around in the darkness, until Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull became the central points of a midfield diamond. Having (hopefully) fixed the fundamental tactical problem, James return to full training offers Neil Lennon the flexibility he is denied on the right and enhances his option in the middle.
Ryan Christie is well short of his best form in a Celtic shirt but all of those best performances came when he played through the middle. He can cover for James and offer options on the right while giving the manager a different option when he wants to swap out David Turnbull in the 10 position.

Scottish cup on BBC Scotland Channel
Not sure if you can get it wherever you are
Queen Park v QoS
Obviously Nicola Sturgeon has spoken to Steve Clarke and given his elite professional football team warning about repercussions for breaking guidelines – aye right!
See someone comment earlier to offer a contract extension to Olivier Ntcham
Is That the same Olivier Ntcham that’s given up on Celtic
And has never been a first team regular in 4 seasons
BT
Thanks – I’ll give it a try
NORRIEM
IMO
Most technical player we have, but agree he looks uninterested at times.
Norriem-if we get a new manager 🤷🏽♂️
How many players would you keep.
Not eddy or Christie
Is it just me,or is Martin Tyler’s voice annoying.
watch out for they hyper-inflated squirrels
Re Ntcham
He knows he’ll never get a chance of a few games on the trot. Not one of Lennys chosen few…no wonder he doesn’t look interested
Tyler annoys me greatly , ‘and it’s live ‘ 😡😡
BGFC @3.28
Good luck explaining that to wee BGFC.:)
Lenny apparently likes curly wurlys and Mars bars straight from the freezers…but not milky ways…..they’re not one of his frozen chews

==============================
What does technical mean, please?
Philbhoy
A technical player puts a lot of thought into his misplaced pass
31003
Aaaah, got it!
Thanks!
Technical players that do mostly f all in a game are no use to me then.
Or Celtic.
Get rid.
I don’t think we have a technical player,apart from ntcham
Philbhoy-did I just answer your question
FAIRHILL BHOY
Technical?
When I was at school (a long time ago) I made a widden thing in techie.
Is that the same?
Hope you’re as good as can be pal.
FAIRHILL BHOY

Watching the Borrusia/Bayern game (was going to type Munchengladbach/Munich game but it would have taken me too long to type that out) and it’s good viewing. Bayern have a centre half who not only looks like Scott McKenna but, amazingly plays like him
….ooh….and he’s just been booked

ADI-DASSLER………….
There is a difference between seeing a pass or a shot and being able to deliver same.
Ntcham fails too often for me.
Thanks for your reply.
FRIESDORFER-the zenith of my holy cross experience is it doing tech 😉
