Anyone else think that the sending off was Lustigs fault? I know ambrose clipped the atacker but the attacker came from behind lustig and he just stood still and ambrose reacted.

Was just about to post the same thing mate lustig lost his man but everybody blames ambrose lustigs been useless all season

He was ball watching and he's the captain. Not good enough. Calamitous defending but that is what we've come to expect from those emerging from the john Kennedy school of defending.

At last! Someone has said it. He has been awful.

This has been the first season for ages that Lustig has had a long run in the team - especially without Mathews or the like challenging him for the position and he has been very poor all season.
He was never the bravest of defenders and has had a lot of time out with injury, but this season his, positional sense, distribution and marking has been very poor and concedes too many cheap corners.
When you add this to the basic mistakes, Gordon, Boyata and Ambrose commit game after game and my heart really goes out to young Tierney.

Agreed. I said below that what concerned me more than the foul was how the ball ended up there in the first place. From where I was, I couldn't be sure it was Lustig -- if I'm honest I thought it was Boyata -- who was at fault, but the point is, mistakes were made before that. Infact, it's not unlike the Hearts game where Ambrose is caught out by his teammates mistakes and sees red.
That all said, I agree Lustig has been very poor over the last 6 months.
Side note, if we could deliver a decent corner we'd be deadly.

It pains me to say this but lustig has been a great servant to Celtic but he lost his pace both in attack and defending even the third Ross county goal he couldn't even stick a leg out to prevent the through ball, ambrose well when away fans start singing ure name it tells us everything, been a bomb scare an accident waiting to happen, remember Europe, boyata never a Roy Aiken type, bitton decent enough when things are going his way but don't ask him to grab the game by the scruff of the neck, Armstrong too many misplaced passes, gms not in the game enough hides n u can't do that at Celtic, johansen too light weight never good enough why does he get a game ahead of Scott Allen who can play a telling pass I will never know pure rotten, Forrest flatters to deceive hopefully he moves on to bigger things like a lower English division a very lazy player who won't pull u out a hole n drive at teams full of passion n drive, there seems a common theme here players who shouldn't be here there's nobody apart fron Kerian tierney who, ll give there all, next to rotten Ronnie I can't for the life of me understand why that man got the job one up front at Celtic park? I sit in my seat week after week so frustrated at how we play football with no passion drive entertainment and that man comes out with statements week after week about improvement he's never a Celtic manager in his life, this isn't knee jerk its fact let's get a MAN in to do the job go back to Celtic tradition of entertainment passion, we are bigger and better than this.

I feel like lustig also has a constant limp and moves like a 70 year old. I've always rated him but like people say, at times this season he looks laboured which causes serious problems losing his man.

Lustig gets . Caught out far too much at the back for my liking, look at the games in Europe etc. He cost us big. time in Europe.

Have to agree, Lustig caused the situation by Efe did catch the guy who was last man charging down on goal with a fairly good chance. Ref had no choice penalty and red card. Bit harsh but the rule is there for a reason. I personally have felt big Efe has been improving over the last few games as well.
31 Jan 2016 21:09:40
Down to previous mistakes and the fact he was sent off its too easy to blame efe. i'm not his biggest fan but he was the quickest to react when lustig let the man go. He has been improving the last few games but hopefully jozo and the new bhoy will be first choice. Lustigs legs have gone with all his injuries and for all those that'll say he should be at centre back i don't think he is strong enough or dominant enough.
