again goals players
We went over the goals again with the players this morning,
loads player work
Craig, like Adam, still has loads to work on before he can be called a real player here.
against good hearts kid players playing rich teams tomorrow vein
What you have tomorrow is two teams in a rich vein of form. I won't kid my players - they are playing against a very good Hearts team.
came five players standard
Only five of my players came up to the standard I would accept,
england harder jump lose opposition players scotland shoot system tackle win
Scotland have a system which is getting better, but it's players who win and lose games. Look at England. They have a system, but if the opposition players jump higher, tackle harder and shoot better, your system is in trouble.
best competition dilemma everywhere hard people picks players playing rest sort team wish
When you make those decisions, it is hard because you know you have to let down people who are playing well. I just wish we had that sort of competition everywhere in the team. Two of our best players form-wise have not been getting a game, but I don't have that dilemma elsewhere. The rest of the team really picks itself.

both celtic character exactly expected five gave guys heart include last players shoulder stood tonight vision
The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.

best chris club granted huge lose move obviously player wish
It is obviously a huge disappointment to lose a player of Chris's quality. The club has granted Chris his wish to move on and I would like to wish him all the best for the future.
card choosing comment embarrass football player shown time yellow
If this were a football match, Portsmouth would be shown the yellow card for time-wasting. To comment now would embarrass the player but there will be a time of my choosing when I will have something to say.
body dynamic fair games good hopefully losing player recent rest suggest
It's never good losing a player like Stan, but hopefully the rest will do him good. I think it's probably fair to say that he hasn't been as dynamic for us over recent games and, if you look at his performances, I think there's a lot there to suggest that his body has been getting tired.
loved player problem spoke work
I don't think there will be too much of a problem getting a work permit. I spoke to the player and he loved it here and we will try to make an arrangement to keep it ongoing.
