I’ve always cautioned against judging a player who has been out for an extended period but being hooked at halftime last night looks like an ominous sign for Derk Boerrigter, who sparkled for 30 minutes on his debut against Ross County earlier in the season but has come nowhere close to that form since.
Injuries stopped him in his tracks that day against County, and several times since, but whatever the reason, we’ve not seen anything like what the player is capable of, and at 27, he is likely to be looking for first team action elsewhere next season.
After last night’s game Neil Lennon spoke of the possibility of signing and losing players over the summer transfer window, which starts in three weeks. Buying well is crucial, and Celtic didn’t do that last summer, but getting those ‘no longer in the manager’s plans’ off the books as early as possible is also important.
Last August we offloaded Lassad, probably by parting with a bundle of cash in the process. This is not a precedent Celtic will have been keen to set, but it’s better to have the decks cleared than have an unproductive player linger around for a year.
Anyone starting less than a third of the games he is available for selection should be looking for pastures new, especially with new arrivals expected this summer.

Heaven has just welcomed an absolute Giant.
Matthew 13
31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
The Amazing Oscar has enriched all of our lives, the Amazing Knox family will be reunited with Their wee Hero and I know The Lord has made a really special room for them.
John 14
14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
God Bless the Knox Family, undoubtedly, the bravest of the brave.
RIP OSCAR
Been looking forward to the young ghuns game today all week,hope they can bring us a wee lift today.
Just stopped for lunch and noticed someone had tied a celtic top to the railing at the new ‘ celtic way’ and wondered why!
Logged on to CQN to get the terrible news about wee Oscar and now I know.
Eternal rest grant into him oh lord. May he rest in peace at last .
Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends too.
IGC – brave and thoughtful post mate.
Thoughts and prayers for Oscar and his family. Very very sad day.
Oscar you inspired so many. You will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Oscar.
Was out driving today at work when i read about Oscar.
I did not know him or his family, yet i have spent the last few hours driving with tears in my eyes simply because it was impossible not to be touched by the love they had for each other and the absolutely amazing courage that they have shown throughout their fight.
You are only beat when you give up.
The wee guy never gave up.
Hail Hail wee man.

Was killed by a hit and run. Great turn out chapel was packed.
Very sad news about Oscar. My thoughts are with his family at what is a terrble time for all parents whose children go before them.
All on CQN who organised events to raise money for Oscar should be proud of their efforts and see that they helped raise awareness of this brave wee boy and hopefully raised money to help other children suffering from the same horrible disease.
Oscar remains an inspiration to us all.
Wee Oscar
God keep you.
Devastating news.
