I am happy to have him in the squad and, if fit, to train with the first team unless something drastic happens.

I don't have a clue what his best position is, ... because he is so good in all of them. Usually a utility man is ordinary in every position, but he is brilliant in every position and that is a problem, I can assure you.

If you play for Celtic or Rangers, there is a certain responsibility. If you are a footballer full stop, you have a certain responsibility. You have to be disciplined. It's okay being angry, but you must be focused and you just keep trying to work on that. There is a thin dividing line between being a competitor and going over that.
craig expecting pressure
There was pressure on Craig because 55,000 were expecting him to score. He put it away well.
