But Brendan Rodgers has to take responsibility. I can’t think of one player this season at Celtic who he has improved and that’s on the manager.
What I can control is the mindset of the team, the attitude of the team and knowing that over this next period of games, we will be really focused and really aggressive and attack the game. What everyone else says or writes, I couldn’t care less.
His brightness, his cleverness, his technique his physicality in terms of his running and into the right areas. He’s back training, and he’ll be available for next weekend.
When you’ve won consistently over a number of years, people will look to jump on you and bring you down –and bring me down. I am here to win. For sure we will have our day, and have many days going forward.
I’m not saying you build a team around one guy, but you definitely find your best stars and get something that works for him. No one can watch Celtic just now and say that is happening. It defies logic.
Momentum is something that you want to create, but it can go at the same time as well. I think it’s just about understanding and constantly understanding how we work and play and the demands are there to do that every single game.
Wednesday’s match at Hibs looks like coming too early for the Scotland squad man but with Alexandro Bernabei struggling at left-back Rodgers could soon have a solution on the way.
Having seen him play and now seeing him for a few days, working with him and speaking with him – the ability that he has in incredible really.
Brendan Rodgers wants to shield his players from the distraction of supporters protesting against the Board of Directors.
Before today's 1-1 draw against Aberdeen a banner was unfurled, during the match chants against the board were heard with the final whistle unleashing further anger.
Social media…
There were others we felt that could fit and there was a real willingness from the club to do business and bring the players but it was the other club.
