I don’t know if Rodgers is putting Boyata in the proverbial shop window these last two games or if he was spooked by Sviatchenko shitting himself in the first half at Ibrox on New Year’s Eve.
It’s also interesting to see Bitton starting for the second game in a row after the winter break.
Lustig misses out tonight after tweaking his back on Sunday.
Yeah and I wasn’t sure if that was ahead of genuinely giving him a run in the team or trying to talk him up to alert potential suitors. They’d hardly fall for the latter.
I think Boyata has potential to be an ok player for us. No doubt he’s been shit in his Celtic career so far but I think there’s a player there somewhere.
Bitton is getting written off too quickly by many fans. He’s certainly good enough to be in and around the squad. I don’t think he’d have a high sale value at the moment and he’s not worth cashing in on. He’s the type of squad player I’d rather have, a step up from replacements in previous years and if he delivered on all his potential he could develop into a valuable player.
