So now Hagi has become the latest player to become a better player the more he doesn't play.

 

He's looked off the pace since returning from injury and look slow and languid. He never had pace to burn, but lost 1/2 yard. 

 

We wanted rid of all these failures, now we want to keep them. Make your mind up folks. 

Not really, put up some great goals / assists in our 55 season and was vital to us qualifying from the EL group stages the year we got to Seville. The equalizer in Brondby and assist in Gios first game v Sparta Prague at Ibrox spring to mind.

 

He does blow hot and cold but with 5 subs these days we can take the risk on players like that and change it if they aren't hot.

 

Also think the failure part on Hagi is quite unfair, he was out injured for most of Gio's tenure and wasn't anywhere near playing when we gifted them both the cups and made no impact on the league under Beale.

So are you dropping Cantwell for Hagi? 

I might be tempted to select Hagi before the disappearing Dutchman.

Cantwell is entertaining to watch. He chases around a lot. He winds up the opposition (both on field and off). He likes his flicks and tricks. But he ain't no Hagi.

Baffled by the Hagi love-in, he wasn't even a nailed on first teamer during 55 (at his best so far), more a rotation option.

Cantrell didn’t play against Morton.

This. I'm no hater, and he's certainly not been a failure, but he's been here for a few seasons now, and hasn't managed a sustained impact.

Aside from Hagi though, I'm feeling the buzz for later..

 

Quietly confident we can take a lead over to Eindhoven. Big performance lads c'mon.

I'm going to be totally two faced compared to Saturday. I actually think we might sneak a result tonight

*narrow win against Morton*

 

Fans: we're going to get pumped by PSV. 

 

*Celtic knocked out of Cup*

 

Fans: We’re going to qualify for the CL!
