‘I don’t know what he is doing’: Chris Sutton is dissatisfied with one Celtic player

Chris Sutton was once essential of Joe Hart for the role he played in Motherwell’s equalising purpose in opposition to Celtic on Saturday.

The Celtic legend was once reviewing the team’s dropped factors on Sky Sports the day gone by and he highlighted the role Joe Hart played.

The 36-year-old ought to have accrued the pass earlier than it used to be headed into the again of the net by way of Jon Obika, with Chris Sutton declaring that the experienced goalkeeper was once in ’no-man’s land’, as he told Sky Sports Football (26/11/23 at 11:10 am).

Brendan Rodgers’ side weren’t assisting themselves at some point of the match. Luis Palma missed a penalty – Callum McGregor was once brutally sincere about it all after the game.

But when David Turnbull transformed from the spot with 4 minutes left on the clock, many would have been respiratory a sigh of relief.

That’s when Joe Hart didn’t assist himself. That corner should have been dealt with. In the end, he did nothing however his quality Peter Schmeichel impression when the Manchester United legend used to face one-v-ones.

You have to query why he wasn’t searching to accumulate or punch the ball alternatively of spreading himself out extensive – from getting despatched off in opposition to Livingston to his error at Feyenoord, there have been a range of questionable performances from him this season and it isn’t helping.

Joe Hart v Motherwell

“I have obtained to say, Joe Hart, I don’t understand what he is doing there,” stated Sutton.

“He is in no-man’s land. That ball has travelled a lengthy way. I suppose he has to come and both punch that or catch it and be greater commanding.”

Joe Hart’s future

All of this simply raises the question about Hart’s future and the membership wanting to substitute him.

His contract expires next summer, not many are anticipating that to be extended, in fact, there is no motive to.

The 75-cap England megastar has served the Bhoys well, inclusive of prevailing the Treble below Ange Postecoglou.

But now is the time to cross on and the club have to be pro-active in bringing someone to the club in January, rather than ready until the summer.

‘Staring everybody in the face’: According to Michael Stewart, the 22-year-old is simply not good enough for Celtic

Michael Stewart has delivered his verdict on Celtic striker, Hyeongyu Oh, after looking at him in the Scottish Premiership this season.

The South Korean global has observed it hard to get game time this season behind Kyogo Furuhashi however after a couple of goalscoring video games against St Mirren and Aberdeen, it looked like the 22-year-old was in the end getting the breaks he deserved.

However, after drawing some other clean in a lacklustre 1-1 draw with Motherwell yesterday, Stewart has in the end come to a brutal conclusion regarding the Korean.

Stewart said [BBC Sportsound], “When you look at the likes of [Hyeongyu] Oh, that’s simply somewhere they are going to have to do better due to the fact he’s the fallback man when Kyogo’s maybe no longer firing on all cylinders or they choose something a bit different.

“He’s had a lot of possibilities however he doesn’t rating enough goals. And the distinction between him and Giakoumakis is just staring all of us in the face.”

Hyeongyu Oh has the excellent but simply not the time at Celtic

Oh has proven that he has the nice to be a very properly goalscorer for Celtic. Last season he averaged a purpose every 85 minutes as he began to flourish below Ange Postecoglou.

However, he has observed it tough to get some regular game time under Brendan Rodgers which has led to doubts being forged on the 22-year-old’s future as a Celtic striker.

TBR Celtic told this morning how Stewart claimed that Lawrence Shankland is a participant that Celtic should be looking at to resolve their looming January striker crisis.

With Oh searching like he will be heading to the Asian Cup as well, he won’t get the opportunity for a decent run in the Celtic team with Furuhashi almost a precise to be selected by way of Hajime Moriyasu.

Aberdeen threw in the towel and tossed it against Celtic- Kris Boyd responds to his critics in the media

Eleven days after his Sky Sports meltdown about Aberdeen Kris Boyd has became on his media critics.

The former Kilmarnock striker is upset that there has been claims that he stated Aberdeen lie down to Celtic, that’s now not the case.

Against the hoops Barry Robson’s facet threw in the towel and chucked it, interestingly that is very extraordinary to lying down.

Writing in The Sun Boyd explained:

ABERDEEN didn’t lie down to Celtic.

Let’s nail that one right from the very start, for those out there who are tough of hearing.

That’s columnists at different papers who can’t seem to come up with an thinking of their own.

And the critics who think the world revolves round them, when in true fact my feedback about the Dons had NOTHING to do with them.

Yes, I concept Barry Robson’s facet had been a shame when they misplaced 6-0 at Parkhead in their last game, and said so on Sky.

Comments I stand by, a hundred per cent. Robbo’s team threw in the towel and chucked it.

Turning to Hugh Keevins he added:

What I don’t like are the lower priced shots aimed at me.

One journalist, who is historical enough to comprehend better, claimed he can tell how the weekend’s consequences have gone just with the aid of the seem to be on my face. Yeah, and I’m positive he’s a dedicated Clydebank fan.

Using his very own common sense it looks that Boyd threw in the towel when he was once playing towards Celtic, scoring simply once whilst assisting himself to 19 goals in opposition to Aberdeen.

Boyd will be in the Sky Sports field at Pittodrie on Sunday, getting wound up through Chris Sutton.

Aberdeen prefers beating Rangers to beating Celtic, according to a former player

Having played for both facets capacity the former defender is nicely placed to comment

Being a former participant of each aspects means he is the perfect function to weigh in on the cutting-edge debate surrounding Aberdeen and Rangers.

And Ricky Foster reckons the Dons DO decide on beating Rangers over when they get a result in opposition to Celtic. It’s been a warm topic in the build-up to Sunday’s meeting at Pittodrie and was sparked by former Ger Kris Boyd who insisted Barry Robson’s aspect would discover it simpler to get up for going through his old facet after being swept aside by means of the Hoops.

Arthur Numan and Derek Ferguson backed it up by using comments of their personal but Robson shot down the claims and Light Blues boss Philippe Clement insisted he would locate it tough to accept as true with a group of specialists would be extra motivated for one unique sport than they were for others.

But there is a competition between Aberdeen and Rangers and Foster insists it truly is what creates an edge in those fixtures and consequences in the fans craving a end result that bit more. And, he adds, that interprets onto the pitch the place the gamers get the message and kick things up a notch.

He advised the Daily Mail: “It’s massive. Everyone usually stated that Aberdeen usually carry their recreation against Rangers. You go, well, look at the fans.

“It’s just all the things that go with it. The truth Aberdeen had been so profitable in the 80s, needless to say the handle between Neil Simpson and Ian Durrant.

“If you were to go, ‘Okay, what would you, the crew and the fans rather?’ Beating Celtic or Rangers at Pittodrie?’ Most of them would pick beating Rangers. That filtered into the squad as well.

“Football fans love a rivalry. They like to hang onto it.”

Foster had come through the ranks at Pittodrie to emerge as a regular first-team participant when he was targeted by then-Gers boss Walter Smith and had the hazard to pass to Glasgow on loan.

Recognising the probability he had, Foster did not suppose about the contention and how it would have an effect on matters and nor did he pay any heed to the reality he would have to return to play in the front of the Red Army again.

He added: “Even my friends, Aberdeen followers and Celtic fans, they realised, with all due respect, the opportunity that was once there for me.

“As a player you grow to be pretty selfish. When the opportunity came up, I wasn’t questioning about the rivalry and the response I would get. I was solely searching at my career.

“I by no means knew then that I’d play in the Champions League and the Europa League and that we’d win the league.

“It was a chance to go and play with international players, at a bigger club, with higher facilities. I was once getting to work with one of the remarkable Scottish managers in Walter Smith.

“You assume ‘that’s for me’. The experiences I had on the pitch had been incredible. Two weeks after taking part in in the Aberdeenshire Cup at Cove, I was sat on a bench at Old Trafford.

“I performed towards Valencia and in that intellectual Scottish Cup replay at Parkhead when Mark Wilson scored the winner.”

“Celtic can do that”: Mark Guidi thinks Brendan Rodgers may pay £5 million to acquire the 23-year-old soon

The transfer hearsay mill has been in full swing this week as Celtic have been linked with gamers now not solely coming into the club, but players potentially leaving.

The Jota to Celtic rumours are truely now not going away and, in accordance to Mark Guidi, neither is the Sydney van Hooijdonk whispers.

The 23-year-old Dutch striker has been spoken about this week as a participant of pastime to Celtic and Guidi believes that if Celtic desired to, they would go and spend £5m on the youngster.

Guidi stated [The Go Radio Football Show], “I surprise if it’s Sydney van Hooijdonk due to the fact it’s not going away. He would show up to be surplus to requirements at Bologna.

“There for sure a records there with his dad who was a terrific player for Celtic.

“He’s at a fantastic age. He was on the verge of being extra involved with the Dutch country wide team. He’ll be searching to get a go to force his way into that squad especially with the Euros coming up next summer.

“And if the price was once ballpark £5 million roughly, Celtic can do that all day lengthy and I assume he’s 23, perhaps 24, so yeah, why not? You’ve got to go and seem to be at it.”

Celtic rally do want to add some other striker to the ranks and with Brendan Rodgers wanting to add high-quality instead than a mission signing to the squad is van Hooijdonk surely the proper participant for that?

His goalscoring record and his age seem to propose that the teenager would come beneath the assignment banner however with Guidi believing he has ambitions to spoil into the Dutch countrywide side, possibly Sydney is the real deal.

I can’t see it to be honest. Van Hooijdonk’s file in the front of goal hasn’t appeared accurate seeing that season 2017/18 and even then, that was at childhood level.

If Celtic have been to spend £5m on a striker, it would want to be one with a verified track file and that is, unfortunately, something that van Hooijdonk doesn’t have right now.

‘I’ve been told’: Mark Guidi claims that executives at Celtic have warned him that a £3 million summer signing is good enough

With Celtic looking to offload players in the January window, a sharp focal point will be on who Brendan Rodgers strikes on in the coming months.

TBR Celtic have recently put forward five names that we believe might have had their day at the membership but it seems like on summer arrival is already scuffling with for his Celtic future.

Mark Guidi has admitted he’s been instructed by way of Celtic that £3m summer signing, Gustaf Lagerbielke, is now not doing sufficient to prove he is valuable of a first-team area at the club.

Guidi stated [The Go Radio Football Show], “I suppose they absolutely want to trim the fat in January. Far too many gamers just sitting there doing nothing.

“I think you can appear at guys like Bernabei, Kobayashi, perhaps Mikey Johnson when he’s out of contract this summer season maybe he would go.

“James McCarthy has now not featured at all this season and I assume if Stephen Welsh comes back and Nawrocki comes back, I assume that Lagerbielke, from what I’m informed from inside, is not hitting the standards required.

“So he’s received a bit of work to do to go and flip that round and to exhibit that he is useful of being in the Celtic first-team squad.”

Are Gustaf Lagerbielke’s days at Celtic numbered?

To draw a line beneath the Swedish international’s Celtic profession proper now would be very premature. Yes, he has had a tough start to his existence at Parkhead but, let’s be honest, it wasn’t the easiest of bedding in periods for him.

With a backline decimated by means of injury, Lagerbielke used to be thrown into a Glasgow Derby and the Champions League without a stable accomplice to help guide him thru the games.

And in truth, aside from a mistake at Rangers and Feyenoord (where he was once truely unfortunate to see red) the stats show that he played well in components for Celtic.

Lagerbielke was recently honoured in Sweden where, last week, he received the Allsvenkan’s Defender of the Year for his performances for Elfsborg. So it is clear that he is a very appropriate player.

Whatever it is that Lagerbielke wishes to do to flip round his scenario at Celtic he had higher do it quick because it looks like he ought to be one that is on his way if matters don’t start selecting up for him

 Van Hooijdonk can do when given regular minutes and ordinary service. An old-school, broad-shouldered throwback of a number nine, the Dutchman scored 19 instances in a mid-table Eredivisie outfit, and would sincerely delight in the pigging out at a table waited on via the likes of Matt O’Riley, Daizen Maeda and Luis Palma.
