Remarkable statistic illuminates Armstrong’s rise

307

There was only a minute between Celtic’s second and third goals against Partick Thistle on Friday evening but for that moment, a remarkable statistic had currency. Stuart Armstrong scored three and assisted two of Celtic’s six previous goals in the league. This is a level beyond an incredible upgrade in form.

Watching Stuart’s blossoming in recent weeks, you still get he’s been playing within himself for much of the last two years. It could be that the inverted-left-winger role didn’t suit him, or that the step up to the pressures of playing for Celtic inhibited him to the extent that the levels of confidence necessary to perform were not to be found.

Even now, watching his body language on the field, and in interview, he looks like he’s still finding his way. I’m pretty sure there’s more to come from him, given the necessary support.

  1. With the MP for Cathcart now raising the questions about the roofs at I brox,is it not a bit surprising that not a jot has been heard from our intrepid SMSM?.I mean the last great story of substance,Res 12,was swept under the carpet,never to be mentioned,so I am thinking that there could be really something of a “Keep your mouths shut”ultimatum already issued to the hacks on this matter.

     

    Much too serious a matter to be left to Masons to cover up.We all know what happened the last time they knew about danger at their stadium.

  2. VFR,

     

     

    I asked you to raise the question of safety at Ibrox in the previous Q and A with JP.Did you,and did he give any assurances?.
