I think an important one for me, and seeing what he can do when he's fit, and he actually being back involved.

Again, I'd like to see him getting minutes, but I think with Chivanchara, he came in, he hadn't played a lot.

he showed a bit of quality at Tyne Castle in his first game when he set the goal up for Yang but he's then probably what's happened is what Celtic maybe expected when he hadn't played much it's going to take him a wee bit of time to get up to speed but I like the profile of him I think he can he could be a good player but again it's it's producing in these big nights Maeda for me he's better when he's when he's out on the left again just for his work rate and what he can do he's

I just think he's more intelligent playing off the left-hand side.

So I don't think he's the answer as a number nine.

That's just, again, my opinion.

But Iñacho being back is a big one for me.

If Celtic can keep him fit, that's like another new signing just like we're talking about, Paulo Bernardo.

James?

Yeah, no, look, I think he's right.

We've got to take all that into account.

And I'll go back to Vanchara with the goal at Kilmarnock.

Mark, you brought it up.

That would have been easy to mess that up as well.

So he did show.

He showed great.

Just know-how in where he was in the game, because you're running in and everybody will say, oh, it's dead easy, but you're running into a huge away support, last six minutes into injury time, seven minutes to some people as well, and he still picks that out, that pass, and what a vital goal.

So we've seen it at Tyne Castle with him.

He spoke about the goal he scored as well, and then that assist.

So he's offering a lot more than just being an out-and-out number nine.
