Motherwell v Celtic

Gordon Strachan and Michael Stewart agreed pre-game that heā€™s worth well north of Ā£30mn and better than any striker on the books of Manchester United, for example.

And gets exposed a bit in a back three when heā€™s dragged wide. Rash and slow enough on the turn.

I had hopes that it would eventually click for SImunovic, heā€™s not that old and has been ravaged with injuries.

Heā€™s just pretty ordinary though, not awful but he simply doesnā€™t convince, always looks like he has an error in him. We put a significant outlay in him at the time but it hasnā€™t worked out. I would still give him an extension but if we got a decent offer for him Iā€™d have no issue in moving him on.

Thought young Welsh did well on Sunday and wouldnā€™t have been averse to him starting tonight.

Taylor did well there, brave defending.

He seems to be strong at nuts and bolts defending but lacking a little bit going forward. Could be a premature assessment though.

I do like his energy, his end product has been poor for the most part but was it the St Johnstone game where he delivered a number of brilliant crosses?

Yeah, set up the goal for Griffiths that night and was probably Celticā€™s best player. Has otherwise been a bit indecisive in the final third.

Kristoffer d-Ajer.

Up the HIbees.

Weā€™ve slackened off a bit here in the past 10 minutes.

What a touch from Edouard.

Simunovic terrible there.

Good save by Forster.

Motherwell are playing well.

Edouardā€™s had a couple of superb nutmegs.

Motherwell 0-1 Celtic. HT.

Definitely need a second goal as Motherwell do lookg like scoring.

Disappointed with Ntcham.

Decent enough game. Motherwell have played well in fairness and have attacked fairly well. Could have scored.

Agreed on Simunovic. No point in losing him for nothing so we should extend his contract but if we got money back on him we should take it. Otherwise heā€™s fine as a squad player. Ajerā€™s form is probably more concerning of late.

Hibs back to 1-1.

Ggggrrrrriiiiffffffiiiiittttthhhhhhssssssss

Tremendous play by McGregor.
