For me its on the decision makers. They knew his style and it was never going to be possible to implement that midseason.

I dont blame him for sticking to his guns. If your style and principles got you the opportunity what kind of man would you be to then adopt someone elses ideas?

If you haven't got the players to play the Style then your f#cked from day one why enforce it on guys who can't do it. In recent years the number of goalies and defenders being pushed to play it out from the back when they blatantly can't has led to all sorts of almighty c**k ups

Celtic's line up against Dundee United had 2 full backs in the centre, no wing back and no proper holding midfielder. Against St Mirren Donovan a young full back was brought on as part of the back three (I think that was his position) and badly exposed for the 3rd goal. These are not sensible decisions to make in order to play in a certain style.

Very noticeable in the 2nd half that defending just looked really panicky, no one knew what they were at.

I dunno if Celtic have ever really played with a proper holding midfielder. Macowan & McGregor were or are the 2 recognised central MFers. In the regular European away day beatings a holding MFer is regularly absent and I've lost count of the times I've called for someone to sit in beside McGregor. He always seems to plough a lone furrow.

See the gossip is BR is trying to take McGregor to Saudi. He's passed his best but he's one of the few real quality players we have.
