Was watching some old clips from when PC came in and we were giving away stupid chances with tav soutter and Butland. Are we seriously going into another season with 3 of those guy still in defence?
08 Jun 2025 20:27:29
Yes we are.
08 Jun 2025 20:33:13
Well we. ll end up with the same outcome. Crazy absolutely crazy.
08 Jun 2025 20:37:09
I would get rid of all 3 souttar vastly overrated by some of our fans.
08 Jun 2025 20:43:09
Storm Soutter is a very good cb for Rangers, best cb in our league in my eyes.
08 Jun 2025 20:51:53
See what a mean ows told you some of our fans vastly overrate him.
Mystar you are entitled to your opinion but he isn't for me balogun was better and CCV is a lot better than him.
Cost us too many goals last season.
08 Jun 2025 20:52:36
Ps Mystar funny you only reply to me when ows the OP is saying he isn't good enough ?.
08 Jun 2025 20:52:43
Storm out of curiosity who would you not get rid of?
08 Jun 2025 20:53:07
For me the problem with souttar is he's a back 3 cb who should be on the right of a back 3 a position he's rarely if ever played for us.
08 Jun 2025 20:55:02
I'd agree, balogun far better imo.
08 Jun 2025 20:55:07
How do we 'get rid of them'?
08 Jun 2025 20:58:36
Storm, the same ccv that a vast majority of Celtic fans want sold? Souttar is better in my opinion.
You must miss him blocking serval chances nearly every game, excellent user of a ball wins the majority of balls in the air, good in duels.
We certainly missed him when he got injured last season, can't even hold that against him now he's played over 80 games the last couple of seasons.
08 Jun 2025 21:22:22
Correct Storm because of your opinion on Souttar that is why you got my reply.
08 Jun 2025 21:28:20
I've got to say, Souttar has really pushed himself since joining us. He's worked hard to put his injury issues behind him, stayed available, and overall, he's a solid centre-back I like him.
That said, like a few others, he does have a tendency to switch off now and then losing his marker or his positioning at key moments.
For me, he needs to stay more switched on if he really wants to showcase what he can offer defensively.
can Russel Martin get him to iron out these issues to elevate his game?
He's not the quickest, so it's even more important that he sticks tight to his man and stays within his marking responsibilities.
Just saying ?.
08 Jun 2025 21:49:41
My star you missed his lapses of concentration, being caught out with pace and not being comfortable pushing up and defending a higher line, he wants to play against bigger forwards but his Achilles heel is movement and strikers that drop off, agree he is decent in physical duels, good in the air and throws his body around but in my eyes we are going to need and all round better centre half for a serious challenge.
08 Jun 2025 21:52:50
Souttar is decent and should stay get someone else in to play with him - think RM will feel the same and keep souttar ??????.
08 Jun 2025 21:59:58
Souttar has 1 year left on his deal remember. If he doesn't sign he needs sold. i'd like him to stay as 1 of 4 CBs. But can't have him tav jefte and butland all in same defence that's just asking for trouble. The back 5 needs bare minimum 3 replaced. Probably all 5 tbh.
08 Jun 2025 22:05:16
The vast majority of Celtic fans want to sell CCV, now there is a made up comment and one that no-one can provide the evidence for. Without him their defence is nowhere near as strong. also perhaps if Souttar was closer to and marking his man he wouldn't need to be throwing himself to make the blocks. He is a decent CB but by no stretch is he the best in the league. all about opinions but as Rosevale says he can't defend a high line as he doesn't have the pace and that is what Martin likes to play.
08 Jun 2025 22:19:00
Sorry vast majority of fans I know.
08 Jun 2025 22:20:22
Rose Martin likes ball playing cb's and they don't better than Souttar with players we could get.
08 Jun 2025 22:42:12
Souttar best central defender in our league? Some statement, wasn't even our best centre half in my locker, Balagun by far our best defender, that carter Vickers absolutely strolls it in Scotland anyone who says otherwise is absolutely deluded, I don't mean any disrespect to Souttar and I do actually think he can do a good job as a squad player but to say he's better than that Vickers is actually unbelievable.
08 Jun 2025 23:19:02
GJD that is my opinion on it, ccv ain't as good as you must think he is, my opinion again.
09 Jun 2025 00:31:15
Well we are in deep T if Souttar is the best centre half for next season, believe we are after one or two centre half's and much needed.
09 Jun 2025 13:27:09
A would keep souter but would happily take burgess and darling too go along side him either in a 2 or 3 depending how martin sets up
plus hopefully someone takes ridvan an we make offer for prentice at hearts and mulligan on the right too as decent option.
