Celtic fans might be surprised to read what former Hoops defender John Hughes has now said about one winger at the club.
Brendan Rodgers and his flailing side are preparing for a tricky trip to Motherwell on Sunday and quite frankly, the Scottish Premiership clash in Lanarkshire is a must-win.
Too many draws have become a theme this season for Celtic but more worryingly, the sheer drop-off in performances over the course of 2024 are hampering the club’s title defence.
Rodgers is failing to get the best out of his first-team squad who are struggling to break teams down and lacking the intensity needed to be in the hunt for a league crown.
Celtic have drawn two of their last four games and that has allowed Rangers to usurp the Parkheadgiants at the top of the table – an inconceivable turn of events given where the Ibrox side were under Michael Beale at the beginning of the season.
At risk of sounding like a broken record, Celtic desperately need a convincing performance as well as three points against the Steelmen to breathe life back into their season.
It certainly can’t be, in any way shape or form, similar to last weekend’s dire display against Kilmarnock who ultimately deserved their point.
Killie got after Celtic in the second-half and preyed on the team’s inability to shift the ball with speed, precision and purpose from goalkeeper to defence to midfield.
