Are an issue, Rogic struggled and Griffiths can take heart

-

He was brave but for five minutes or so wandered about the pitch as if he’s had a good drink in him. There is no way he should have been allowed to carry on.

Lustig complained to the bench that he was having a problem with his eyesight and was soon subbed. Now, I am no doctor but if a human is knocked out, or close to it, they shouldn’t have to play football.

In rugby, players got off for an examinatio­n if there is any hint that they’ve taken a blow to the head. That’s sensible.

4 Tom Rogic is a funny player When on his game, there are few better sights at Celtic Park than the Australian dancing past tackles with such style.

He could turn a defender in a phone box when on form. He could not have been more off it in this game and he’s such an important man with the way Celtic play that the team suffered.

Rogic is a talent. But he does blow really hot and cold. The big man must have been freezing last night.

5 Leigh Griffiths will have been heartened by what he saw

He wasn’t there in person but the troubled player was in the minds of the supporters who canted his name, fittingly, after nine minutes.

A banner on the terrace read “It’s OK not to be OK” which is a fine sentiment and one which thankfully more people are coming to terms with.

Nobody really knows what is going on with Griffiths but we can hazard a guess, and when thing get on top of even the strongest character, that’s when the black dog begins to bark.
