Can't help but think Mulgrew would have slotted in nicely at CB for us this season.

It was said that when the boy Hendry has played we've not won yet apart from Hamilton game when he started but was taken off hope that stat chances soon if we play 3 at the back I would rather c big Jozo in we don't look comfortable with the three at the back compared to the four and I hope MD is back for next week when teams push us without MD we have no out ball.

Hendry will take time to settle just like Ajer did.
21 Apr 2018 21:30:26
Ajer was a midfielder turned centre back though Stan, and was sent out on loan to get used to that position that I think he is settling into, I personally don’t rate Hendry as a 1st team player.

Ajer looked the part almost immediately and will be a real class act in most of the games he has played; looking more and more confident.
Hendry has not had that instant impact and will take time to show what he can do. Fortunately he will get more chances if Bomb-scare Boyata gets his wish to leave.

So what do you suggest ditch him after a few performances?
21 Apr 2018 22:51:20
keeping on playing him in the 1st team isn’t the answer,
21 Apr 2018 23:35:24
I'm going to judge the lad when he gets a run of games at CB in a back 4.
22 Apr 2018 08:15:55
You could argue the same for commper simunovic, and Gamboa too Stan. The boy is big and has pace, but just isn’t ready yet in my view, maybe a loan spell like Ajer did might be the answer.

How do you know the loan spell benefited Ajer . He could have been a regular from the start of the season if he had worked all last seasowith the superior coaches at Celtic . K T didn't need to go anywhere and he came through at a younger age.

Staggering that we’re all still sitting here talking about our centre halfs isn’t it! Coming up on Brendan’s 4th transfer window and we still haven’t sorted it out! We’ve done really well to get through the last 2 CL qualification campaigns, but I fear for us big time next season if we don’t finally address this problem! Boyata for me is one of the worse Centre halfs I’ve ever seen at Celtic Park, and that’s saying something! Ambrose looked like Maldini compared to him yesterday! If he’s Brendan’s idea of a good defender then more European hammerings are a certainty! I pray to god the rumours that he’s wanting to leave are true honestly! Will give young Hendry the benefit of the doubt and see how he goes after a pre season with us, but so far I’ve been far from impressed! Jozo and Eric will surely go in the summer, and god knows what will happen to compper! Lots of ins and outs over the summer all through the team I think! Just really hope Brendan gets 2 solid Centre halfs in!

Lh86 Our centre defence is a fluid on going situation . I have no information to indicate that Brendan Rodgers loses any sleep over the centre of our defence .
It seems a number of our posters are looking and waiting for our centre halves to make a mistake . I have never watched any pair of centre defenders as I have watched Celtic defenders and not seen them make mistakes . Even big Virgil is still making mistakes at Liverpool .
I have no doubt that if Brendan sees a good young centre back that will improve us available at the right money, he will try to buy him, as he will with a midfielder . Every year for the last 7 years we have attacked almost non stop, yet we have conceded the least goals in domestic football and many people claim our keeper is weak . These things don't add up.
