SAINT BERNARDO – 3/10 – Yeah, Paulo, one of those games…Heavy touches, misplaced passes, and the bar-skelped-sitter that would have sealed the points early. When it’s not your night, it’s not your night. And it certainly wasn’t his, despite his ever-reliable effort.

🗣️ “I don’t know what’s going on with him”
🗣️ “Doesn’t seem like the same player who came up last season”
🗣️ “He’s got good assets”

DUNCAN IDAHO – 3/10 – Houston, we have a problem… Thing is, Apollo 13 fixed theirs with a bag, a hose and duct tape. And it didn’t cost £9 million. We could try using the same materials, but he’s a big lad and hiding the body might be a problem. So we’ll have to hope he gets himself out of this rut. With his physique and reputation
he should be able to – but he’ll need to gain an edge and drop the Craigy-Whyte-baggery. Running the length of the park to get on the end of what would have been a quite stunning breakaway goal means nothing if ultimately you’re going to skip out of the finish like a squealing, chittering little girl soon as you see the keeper closing in. Apologies to Shirley Temple. Quit the ‘nice big fella’  and get an attitude befitting of a Celtic target man. Look at young Engels – sneering, snarling, scowling around, berating opponents; what a stick he must be to play against. So, Adam, get to being one too.
