100% All these lads need to be permanently retired no point wasting squad places on them either. Time to build for the future

Defensive midfield is a position we're week in. We looked lost against Armenia without Cullen. Of the young lads mentioned Smallbone is probably most likely to graduate next, but he's an attacking mid. Kenny has already brought back Brady so if McCarthy got a loan move to the English championship and got back playing regularly (which I know he hasn't done in years), he could get a call up too. His experience could be handy in a qualifying campaign that runs for just 8 months. Similarly if Conor Coventry gets a loan/gametime then he's in the frame.

I'd have rathered see him come on in the sitting midfield role against Armenia instead of Hourihane had he been in the squad. He would have just kept it tight, nothing fancy and we'd probably have won the game 2 or 3-0. He doesn't have a long term future with us, but if we're looking for short term cover for Cullen and Molumby he would do a job if he could stay fit for any length of time.

On the bright side… he could come in to cover for McGregor and stay in on merit. If he had come on in the St.Johnstone game earlier, he could have managed the lead out for Celtic. Ange and Kenny take note.

I'd be surprised if he doesnt get some injury in the next few games/training sessions

Great to see McCarthy get some minutes for Celtic and a Champions League debut is a feather in his cap.
Think his Ireland days are numbered and he might be better off playing a bit part role for a side like Celtic as I doubt he can play 90 minutes 25-30 times a season without injury if we are being straight.

They have stunk out the place for too long. Fresh new energy is whats needed not stale old furniture. Hourihane makes Glenn Whelan look like Iniesta

Ridiculous, if only we had the luxury. Hourihane I'd agree, the others nah. Mc Carthy looks highly unlikely granted, but stranger things have happened. The other two are nailed on squad players fitness permitting!

Sammon is darne good. Sammon is being kept on ice but he is ready to leap into action at any moment as he has been finding the net a lot. All the lads want him in the camp for the knowledge he brings.

Yeah time to move forward not backwards, id rather we take our chances and give the squad places to Smallbone, Coventry, Hodge or whoever else.

He did very well in the build up to the winner. Realistically he's not going to get enough opportunities at Celtic. If he got himself out on loan in January and playing regularly, it's not out of the question that we'd see him in the squad next year. He's 31, turning 32 later this year so it's possible he could do a job in the short term, as cover for Cullen. In all liklihood though he's played his last game for us.

Did great for it. He'll probably be demoted from the match day squad by Postecoglou as a reward

Feels like a long time since there's been anything much positive to say about James McCarthy, but he has had a big role in getting the win for Celtic today with a lovely through pass in the build up to their last minute winner.

Kelleher could get a game this season too, particularly if group positions are decided prior to final game (looks possible that Napoli seal first and LFC 2nd prior to final game). That would be 3, but given where each are in their respective careers and the minutes involved, I'm not sure its a particularly great achievement!
