Say his name. 

 

G'on. 

Ridvan Yilmaz? You're scraping the barrel if you think he deserves praise for being the 9th most available 1st team player we have 😀😀

I was actually surprised. 

 

Despite having the perception that Yilmaz hasn't played much, he's only 400 minutes off Barisic despite inexplicably not being involved in the European squad (that's an 800 minute head start for Barisic). 

 

(That and I had that gif lined up for half an hour.)

Wasn't he injured when the European squad was submitted? Genuine question as I can't remember!

I'd imagine there are several contributory factors to our injury problems.  It won't be as simple as getting a new physio or making sure we only sign players with good injury records.

Oh, yes; for the CL qualifiers. 

 

The he was available for most of the group games but couldn't play. 

 

OK–a 450 minute head start...

But we qualified top of our group in the EL - so his exclusion was justified? 😉

His latest injury was really frustrating. We were told that he was 50/50 of making the OF game at Ibrox, then we were told he was a week away. He still hasn't started a game since his injury.

 

So either the injury was not diagnosed correctly or the medical updates given to PC from the medical team were incorrect (or worse, both).

 

I picked up a comment from PC last week where he said the medical team tell him how many minutes a player can play, he then decides if that player starts, or comes on. 

 

Is he receiving erroneous information?
