I never mentioned the starting 11. Even a place in the senior squad or an occasional bench cameo would be a massive improvement. Instead, he's been shut out completely. It's obvious Rodgers doesn't rate him at all (or he would have given him a proper chance by now), which makes the manager look  pretty fucking stupid and is a real shame.

Or do you really think there are 50 better players than Arzani at Celtic? He didn't even make the 43-man Europa league squad... 

So fuck yes, it's inexcusable. It makes it clear that Rodgers is actually a fucking idiot. 

Maybe he isn't better than 43 players. I don't train with them. Rodgers never wanted to sign him and tbh Rodgers obviously doesn't really need him. Rodgers needs defenders. 

He's very young, played no decent time at senior level. It will take time.

Geria is a real shame. Thought he was decent but he’s really drifted into obscurity now 😞

He was up and down for MV. TBH I was surprised he got an overseas move. He can be ok on the deck but going forward his crossing and threats are not enough. 

I'd be interested to see what he could do in the middle of a back four. H edid dtart there and must be confident on the ball now. Would def like to see him back at MV one day.

If he can dominate Denmark he can dominate Kilmarnock and Hamilton and would be in the top 43 players at Celtic

Well, just a thought, perhaps he should ask togo on loan to another SPFL team.. say Hibs or something.

That way BR will be without a job after Hibs win the League etc.

That'd be great. Would obviously have to be facilitated by Manchester City though. I wonder if they care enough to pull him out and place him somewhere else.

Jovanovic started in a cup quarter final against Suwon.  Going to extra time..

Lost 2-1
Oh shit 2-2 at the death..


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

There is a limit on how many clubs you can be registered for in a set amount of time.

He's played 9 matches now this season, good news is he's started and played the full 90 minutes for the last 2 matches of the J2-League.

Benkovic looks primed to face Milligan? 

I'd be more interested in seeing the Brown v Millsy battle. Should be a great contest in midfield.

Maclaren possible to be back for the Celtic match, with Arzani possibly named as a sub according to Scottish media:

The absence of the two defenders will force Lennon into a reshuffle at the back, with Darren McGregor potentially coming back into the starting line-up. Mark Milligan plays in defence for Australia but his presence in midfield will likely be crucial. Martin Boyle, Daryl Horgan, Jamie Maclaren and Steven Whittaker will all be assessed on Saturday morning but the Easter Road coaching staff are hopeful that most of them will be fit.

Possible teams
Celtic (4-2-3-1): Gordon; Lustig, Benkovic, Boyata, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Sinclair; Edouard. Subs from: Bain, Simunovic, Hendry, Gamboa, Kouassi, Christie, Morgan, Mulumbu, Arzani, Rogic, Griffiths.
Hibs (3-5-1-1): Bogdan; Ambrose, McGregor, Porteous; Boyle, Mallan, Milligan, Slivka, Stevenson; Hyndman; Kamberi. Subs from: Marciano, Whittaker, Nelom, Mavrias, Bartley, F Murray, Horgan, Shaw, Gullan, Maclaren, Allan.

Just read an interview with Rodgers, he stated that he's pleased with the work Arzani's putting in, how he is adapting well to the way celtic play and that he 'wasn't ready' when he first got there. Fairly positive. Does that imply that he thinks he's ready now? Maybe not, but we'll find out.

I feel there might need to be an injury or two for him to sneak onto the bench.

Angeball leaks another loss. Bahhh, he's done alright. They needed that, Gamba were sitting equal with them on the lader. 

Ange will need 2 wins to get above them now into 10th or 9th. Well out of relegation zone though. wd
