In a season that promised so much yet delivered so little to date, I now call into question just how many good professional players have we really got.
So what makes a good professional player for us?
Ability
We are currently stuck with so many that are still not good enough to wear a Celtic Jersey with pride
Fitness
Should never be an issue with a player, yet I have never known a club where this has been such an issue let alone ours
Attitude
Again shouldn't be an issue but we know of so many who have shown us a terrible attitude towards the job in hand
Desire
You would expect any player to give his all for there paymaster and deliver the best they can for the team.
Mental strength /discipline Again you would expect a player to have full concentration and be disciplined for a full 90 minutes
Consistency
Again a level of consistency would be expected to maintain the standards required
Teamwork
How many will put personal goals ahead of the teams. Will go missing and not do the necessary work required for the team
Of course there can be many other qualities to be really classed as a good professional and yet we are still lacking. I don't think we could field a team that ticks all the boxes and I find that disgraceful. For me I find that ajer has been well above anyone and we stand to lose him. So looking ahead I can only put 5 players for next season who I would class as a good professional and I haven't included any youngsters who haven't been given an opportunity. This is of major concern for me and would be interested to see how others felt about it
