Cameron Carter-Vickers was rested for the second half against Hibs due to a tight hamstring. Were we not two goals ahead, he might well have played on, but there was no point taking chances. The same argument holds for Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Nat Phillips is more than capable of stepping into the defensive leadership role. He is a competent and experienced professional who has played at levels none of the Kilmarnock side will ever reach. Brendan Rodgers comments last week about Gustaf Lagerbielke and Maik Nawrocki were more nuanced that the reported headlines. The manager made the point that neither player have had an opening with Cameron and Liam Scales having established a solid pairing. We have five fit central defenders; our top man has a tightness which could turn into an injury, but four are in pristine condition.
Whatever the perceived levels of Gustaf and Maik, they are is not a reason to leave them in the stands. Celtic are a club which needs to take promising players from other environments and develops them into great talents. This is the path we must follow, we cannot turn into a club which wastes players.
No risks with Cameron on Sunday, please. There is lots for him to do before the bells toll.

Biscuit tin mentality – nothing more ….. or less than that.
Great player. we missed out yet again.
We have paid millions for several losers since then but couldn’t come up with a few
100k and missed out on a really top player. As we can clearly see.
So, not “giving it a rest”. Crap investment policy as usual.
Does anyone seriously thing McGinn would have become the player he has playing in the SPL ?
My company sponsored Hibs when he was there. Lovely guy and lovely family. I honestly don’t think he would have got close to his currently level playing in our shithole of a league against 10 men defending most weeks.
Still no sign of St Stivs or Petec or Tom McLaughlin.
What a sad loss for the blog.
I didn’t always agree with them but the added a lot and mostly about Celtic.
B78 you do a lot of greeting about things you can’t control
celticquicknews@gmail.com
for all your complaints, and am sure there are many

Totally agree B78 👍
Turkeybhoy …,,after the latest exhibition of WATP refereeing …do you honestly believe Aberdeen have a snowballs chance in Hell of getting a result next week ?🤔….pathetic as it is …the dark arts will be fully deployed ….and we all know one particular decision that will almost certainly occur ?🤔
The real pathetic part of it is the Huns actually now actively joke about it to each other …absolute shameless cheating cretins 🤔

McGinn would have been a huge success at Celtic . A captain and a leader . A natural successor to Broonie who would have added much needed bite domestically and in Europe . No doubt he is playing with and against better players in a better league but he would have added hugely to our team . The reasons for his choice to move to Villa have been well debated on here but what I don’t think is up for debate is the value he would have given us .
McGinn made the right choice
For him
Not for us
Glad he did as he is killing it in the epl
replacement goalie required for tomorrow ? who will it be ?
seigrest just posted about celtic instead of his burd??
Guessing its him?
Clunks
No need. Really no need.
I would hope common sense might prevail this time in the interests of the blog.
Glendalystonsils
I think we are not disagreeing.
Of course he would have done well for us.
He’s would not have become the player he has though if he had stayed with us.
Kinda like Kenny D.

so there

Sadly true , which is why players of McGinn’s quality will always head south . Even if he had come to Celtic it would have been a stopover on the way , just as it was with Crerand , Dalglish and Tierney . Either by their own wishes or by the club’s .

A noble effort but you’re wasting your breath.
We had more than ten years of bleating on here about Steven Fletcher.
I’ve no doubt that will be matched with John McGinn.
I bear no I’ll will to either gentleman.
Football is a short career.
They both made the moves they thought best.
Steven Fletcher – List of honours since leaving Hibs.
End of list.
John McGinn – List of honours since leaving Hibs
End of list.
It’s one of those things that years of service get you
When Larsson played at BArcelona and Man Utd
Even when he scored against us with Barca
I fooking beamed with pride
As much as I cried in his last game with us
Am I cried a lot
He served us and deserved his time there
And did he shine in the leagues with talent we could never have provided him with
Then I think of Paul McStay
And love him
And all he did for us
Know what I mean??
That’s why I can’t complain when talents like Tierney move down south
And why talents like John McGinn choose not to sign with us
Am = and
