I'd say that McKenna, McGregor, Christie, Forrest and Griffiths are all in or around our strongest XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from McTominay, Fraser and Robertson all our players are much of a much, unless any of the Celtic players prove otherwise in the champions league. Never rated Griffiths and to be honest has Forrest done much at international level other than the wins against Albania and Israel.(SPL standard opposition) We have midfielders who were very good championship players now in the EPL and I'm not sure were Christie would fit into a Scotland formation unless it was behind the striker. Not saying we wont play SPL players just that their loss wouldn't weaken us that much. I know i go on about a certain sites ratings but it suggests that even at Celtic the Scottish players are not key in European games Edited August 8, 2019 by ceudmilefailte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's the best we have doesn't mean that that he's good. Same with our midfielders, just because players like McGregor, Forrest and Christie are the best we have in no makes them good. It just means that we're in a sorry state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an option on social media content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering a few years back all we had to hang onto was Fletch at Man U, and now we have serious players at Man U, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Add to that top six teams seriously sniffing around Fraser, and Gilmour possibly coming through the ranks at Chelsea in the next year or two then I think things are looking on the up.

PASTA Mick Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Jamie Paterson has joined Derby on loan from Bristol City. He's not really done enough to get a call-up but he's one that might be worth keeping an eye on if he plays and Derby do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
